115 Connection

"No, no. After my mother got out from the hospital, we had a tacit understanding that we shouldn't stay there and use those identities anymore since I was well underway my pregnancy" Karen swung her head left and right in denial.

"Eh? Why though?" Violet's interest was suddenly piqued.

"So that woman can't find us and get to know that she had a grandson. It is better to be safe than sorry" answered Karen.

"Ohhh. So let me get this straight. That woman changed your identity to hide you away from the boy and you changed your identity again to hide away from the woman?" questioned Violet.

"Yes. I no longer remember how many times we moved around. I already lost track of it. We just moved here three years ago. The manager at the place I worked was the daughter of an old friend of my mother from the last place we lived in and recommended me the job"

"Refill?" asked Violet as she held the bottle.

"No more for me, for the mean time. Maybe later? Did you buy water?" replied Karen as she massaged her temples.

"Yes, I did. Wait I'll go get it" Violet stood up to approach the bench to fetch a bottle of water from the plastic bags then she returned and sat next to Karen.

"Thank you" said Karen as she opened the bottle.

"Should you really be telling me all this Karen? I mean normally, a person who you just met won't say 'Hey, nice to meet you! I'm Karen and this is my third identity!', right?" Violet teasingly copied Karen's voice in high pitch and said it in a sing song way.

"Haha, very funny. To be honest, I don't even know why but I am very comfortable in telling you all this. Aside from my mother, you are the very first and only person I told my full story to" Karen placed the cup she was drinking from and reached out to hold Violet's hand.

"Eh? Really? I'm honored Karen. I really am" said Violet feeling overwhelmed by Karen's trust on her then she added, "Thank you Karen for trusting me. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. I'll even help you hide it even more. Although, I wanted to know why you told me?"

"I'm not really sure but I feel that we have a connection and I feel that I could trust you fully. I can see that you are a good person and you will not endanger my family" replied Karen.

Violet inched closer to Karen and hug her tight. Karen was startled a bit from the sudden hug but she immediately hugged her back.

"I'm glad I made a friend in you" said Karen solemnly while hugging Violet.

"Me too" said Violet.

"Violet I got an idea!" chirped Karen cheerfully.

"What is it?!" replied Violet as she jolted from Karen's suddenness in talking beside her ear.
