Chapter 51 - I Saw You!

A few hours earlier.

...

In Amara's room.

When Sabrina brought the food in her chamber earlier, the poor girl was covering her face with a face towel.

"You don't have to cover your face every time you see me, girl. You will always be beautiful in my eyes. No matter how many times your face change, your original beauty will always shine through because you have a heart of gold and you are kind to me. I appreciated it very much," Amara said.

Sabrina sighed and said, "Thank you..."

"What's for breakfast today?" Amara asked.

"Rice and eggplant omelette," Sabrina smiled.

Amara's face brightened up. "Wow! Delicious!"

"Enjoy your meal," Sabrina said.

"Thank you for bringing my food here. Next time, I'll come to your chamber and get the food myself. I'm ashamed already that you keep serving me. I'm not worthy of your kindness," Amara stated.

Sabrina smiled. "It's okay, bringing your food here is not a big deal to me."

Amara smiled. "You are so nice. If given the chance I would like you to be my best friend, too bad my life span is short. I'll be gone soon," she said with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Sabrina's brows knitted together. "Why are you dying?" she asked curiously. It's the second time that Amara mentioned the word 'dying' and every time she did that she always wore a serious expression in her eyes.

"Secret!" Amara replied. "Thank you again, beauty!" she said and began eating her meal.

Sabrina left Amara's room, more confused than ever.

She went back to the chamber and eat breakfast with Rhett.

"What do you think of Amara?" Sabrina asked.

Rhett raises a brow. "What about that woman?" he snorted.

"I find her mysterious," Sabrina said.

"In what way?" Rhett asked.

"I dunno... I can't put it in words and she kept mentioning that she's dying," Sabrina explained.

Rhett sighed. "Lets not talk about that woman. We have done our best to make her stay in this cave comfortable and safe," he said. He hides his dislike and disgust towards that shameless woman, careful not to let Sabrina know, or else the two women will have a physical and verbal fight coming soon between them.

Sabrina feels comforted that Rhett is not interested in Amara.

After eating breakfast, Sabrina went to Amara's chamber to retrieve the dirty dishes. Then she and Rhett went to the stream.

Hours went by.

The couple left the chamber and stayed at the entrance of the cave.

Rhett asked Sabrina's permission. "Can I leave the cave?" he asked.

"W-where are you going?" she asked, alarmed.

"Over there, I just want to gather more firewood so that we have plenty of stock during rainy season and we can make fire anytime we want to make our chamber warm during the night," he replied.

She permitted him. "Ah, okay. Go ahead."

Rhett left the cave and walked towards the wooded area.

Sabrina remembered that Grandma wants to talk to Amara. She rose to her feet and went to the woman's chamber. She stood in the doorway. "Can you join me at the entrance of the cave?"

"Why?"

"Grandma Azere wants to talk to you," Sabrina replied.

"Ah, okay." Amara got up from the bed.

The women went to the entrance of the cave.

Amara looked around her. "Where is your boyfriend?" she asked.

"He's out there in the woods gathering firewood that we can used during rainy season and freezing temperature of the night," Sabrina replied.

"Nice! I want to have fire inside my chamber tonight to keep me warm throughout the night," Amara gushes.

"Don't worry, you will have your own fire in your chamber starting tonight. There are plenty of firewood outside," Sabrina said casually.

A few minutes later.

Rhett emerged from the woods carrying dry twigs on his shoulder. He walked towards the cave and bring the firewood inside, he put them in their chamber first, then next, he will also put some firewood in Amara's chamber. Although he dislikes the shameless woman, he still thinks that she can use some fire to warm her during the night.

Rhett exited the chamber and returned to the wooded area to gather more woods.

A few minutes later.

Grandma Azere can be seen approaching the cave carrying a basket in her hand.

Amara pointed her hand. "Grandma is here!" she said.

Sabrina looked at Grandma and smiled brightly.

Amara saw the invisible woman walking beside Grandma Azere. She pretended that she didn't see her.

Azere arrived at the entrance of the cave and placed the basket on the rock. She looked at the women, especially at Amara. "How's your feet?" she asked, looking at the woman's feet.

"Thanks to your medicine, Grandma. My feet are healing well," Amara replied with a smile.

"Glad to know that!" Azere said.

Olga picked up a small stone from the ground and throws it at Amara.

Amara saw the stone about to hit her legs, she dodged it.

Sabrina saw the stone, a frown appeared on her face. "Where did that stone come from?" she asked in bewilderment.

"I dunno..." Amara replied, she pretended that she never saw it coming. She let it go. But when saw the invisible woman picking up another stone to throw at her, she quickly left the entrance of the cave, very much annoyed.

"Hey, where are you going?" Sabrina asked.

"Going to the toilet to pee!" Amara replied and walked away in a hurry.

Azere's brows knitted together. "Why that woman left? I still need to talk to her," she said.

"You can continue talking to her tonight, Grandma," Sabrina suggested.

"Yeah... tell her that I still want to talk to her," Azere replied.

Azere roamed her eyes around the area and asked, "Where is Rhett?"

"He's right there in the woods gathering firewood that we can used in the cave," replied Sabrina.

Azere looked at the woods.

"Grandma, I'm worried..." Sabrina said.

"Why? What are you worrying about?" Azere asked.

"Rhett is planning to visit his family at the Golden Peak Valley one of these days. I'm afraid that he will no longer return here after seeing her family." Sabrina confessed her fears.

Azere took a deep breath. "It's natural for Rhett to visit his family. Don't worry too much. He will never leave you alone in the cave for a long time. He will surely return here after visiting his family," she assured her.

Sabrina released a deep sigh. "I hope so..." she said gloomily.

A few minutes later.

Rhett arrived at the cave. "Good noon, Grandma!" he greeted her with a cheerful smile.

"I'm glad to see you enjoying the outdoor," Azere commented casually.

Rhett grinned broadly. "Yeah, very much! Excuse me ladies, I'll bring the wood to the chamber," he said and proceed inside.

"I'll go now, child. Eat your lunch," Azere said.

"Thank you, Grandma!" Sabrina said.

Rhett returned to the entrance of the cave a few minutes later. "Where is Grandma?" he asked.

"She went home. Let's eat lunch!" Sabrina said.

"Okay," Rhett responded and grabbed the basket from the rock.

They returned to the chamber to eat lunch.
