THE JEWEL OF GLOUDANDA (iii)
"we'll finally have enough money to leave this orphanage and start our lives afresh". he said looking into her eyes...
*********
After much trails and effort of james Porter, Carly white agreed to be in partnership with him. she also agreed to split the money in half. later, Carly white is seen on the orphanage's roof with a sad expression on her face. As a brave teenage girl she wasn't afraid of heights and the roofs were constructed in a way that someone could sit, run and even play on it. Carly white was holding a picture of a young girl standing in the middle of two adults ( male and female). She kept staring at it as she felt the touch of a cold hand tapping her shoulders. With great consiousness, she quickly turned with the expectation of seeing Old Derrick, the orphanage owner but to her greatest surprise it was a little girl. she was among the children staying in the orphanage. "kiara what are you doing here? you know Old Derrick forbids you from coming here. He'll get mad at you for..." "for what! he won't punish me as long as I stay here with you. you're the only one brave enough to face him". kiara said melting the heart of Carly white. kiara sat next to Carly noticing a picture in her hands. " aunty Carly are you the one in the picture"? she asked keeningly. "yes! how did you know little kiara" " I knew because she looks just like you. the both of you have the same complextion, hair color and the same eyes" Kiara replied smiling. " hmm.. you're a really smart girl" Carly complimented as Kiara smiled looking at her toes like they were fancy. kiara noticed that the adults in the picture were her parents so she asked Carly about it . Carly told her everything. " I wasn't an orphan but destiny made me one. I was like other kids, with parents. My parents and I decided to go on a vacation trip to GLOUDANDA because my mum was pregnant and she said she needed a break from work, chores and other stressful activities. We boarded a train going to MASS, a city close to GLOUDANDA to make some bargains with a house renter. Finally we got to GLOUDANDA and like always we were happy and rejoicing. We all slept off and in the morning I went to my parent's room to greet them but I didn't find them. There were pieces of broken glass on the floor. The doors and windows were broken... I woke the next morning only to find out I was in an orphanage, this orphanage! till now I don't know what happened to my parents or how I got here. I don't even know if my parents are alive or dead"
