CHAPTER 37

DINAH

Laying down on her bed, Dinah smiled wickedly as she thought back to the events that happened today, and she felt giddy.

She and her gang had intentionally went into the room to cause trouble, before then she had planned with her friends that as soon she initiated a fight with either Sara or Ariel they should go call the matrons.

She had actually wanted to fight Sara, but her stubborn friend, Ariel had provoked her and she had become seriously angry and had pounced on her furiously.

Sara being the good friend she was had rushed to the rescue, and as luck would have it, the matrons had bursted in and had directed them to the head matron's office, what she had clearly wanted.

Although they had been put on indefinite suspension for a month, and had to do the sanitary cleaning, she had finally achieved her goal of dragging Sara and her friend innocent reputation in the shelter into mud.

Dinah had no worries, even though the head matron had collected their phones, automatically seizing them till their punishment was over.

She was very happy at least step one of her mission was accomplished.

Some Days Later..

Christian walked along the streets leading to Sara's shelter, since their lovely picnic, he had not heard nor seen from her, and he had become worried.

He had tried calling her cell phone, and it had been switched off as usual.

After his shift at the construction site, he had decided to go and check on her, to know if everything was okay with her and also share a very good news with her. Smiling to himself he got to the shelter's gate and knocked quietly, and an old man whom he had not seen before probably the security man answered and asked what he was doing here.

"Good afternoon Sir." He said and the gray haired man nodded his head in response and waved his hands telling him to continue.

"Well, I came to see my friend, I've not heard from her and her cell phone hasn't been going through, I'm just worried and I decided to come check up on her."

Nodding again the security man just smiled and began to speak, "Well, my son, just tell me you came to see your girlfriend whom you haven't seen for days, and stop disguising okay."

Embarrassed at being caught so easily, Christian just smiled as the jovial old man opened the gate's door wildly and motioned for him to enter, pointing at a large building by the left and telling him to go look for her there.

Thanking the old man profusely, Christian moved to the building, swinging the large heavy doors he entered into the large hall and walked to the receptionist desk.

"Good afternoon ma'am." He greeted looking up at the kind woman in her mid-forties who smiled at him.

"Yes, my son, what's a handsome looking lad like you doing here? How may I be of help to you? Are you looking for someone, one of my girls?" She asked him smiling funnily and he just smiled and replied, "Well, you can say that, I'm actually looking for Sara Parker."

Raising her eyebrows, the beautiful matron nodded and looked down at a big folder she was holding, "Well, this person has been prohibited from recieving visitors for 1 month." She told him and he gasped in shock.

"I don't understand you, why is that?" He asked confused, when they had last seen Sara had not told him anything about this and he was hurt a bit.

"Well, she disobeyed a rule, which is not in my place to disclose, her and two other girls, and they have been punished for a month."

Christian sighed and shaked his head, "Oh my, this is so serious. So there's no way I can see her right?" He asked.

"Yes, my son, I'm so sorry about that, but you can drop a message for her, I'll surely deliver it." The kind woman said and Christian nodded in gratitude.

Collecting a piece of paper from her, and pen, he quickly scribbled a note telling her to call him that it was urgent, folding the paper, he handed the note over the matron thanking her profusely and headed out.

Thanking the kind security man, Christian went home, disappointed but still relieved that Sara was safe and not in a harmful situation.

………………..

Sara walked downstairs intending to go to the shelter's garden to meet Ariel.

Since the suspension, her daily routine had been to wake up, eat, and go to the garden.

She had not called Christian and she knew he would be very worried, as for her work she knew it was long gone, because she had not called and she couldn't even call cause she didn't know the kind of excuse to give them, she had not written on her CV that she was an orphan.

Sighing inwardly, she removed all thoughts from her head and walked down the stairs, she had safely gotten down and was in the hall when she heard someone calling her name.

Turning back, she saw Mrs Della, one of the matrons and a nice one at that, signaling for her to come over, wondering why she was being called, she went to meet her at the receptionist desk.

"Good day ma'am." She greeted while waiting patiently, "How are you my dear?"

"Fine ma.", "Well you might be wondering while I called you here, well an handsome young lad came here looking for you, I told him that you couldn't receive visitors and he gave me this to give you." Handing over a piece of paper which she collected, Sara frowned in confusion, thinking who the mysterious person was.

Opening the note, she saw scribbles of a very familiar handwriting, one that she had come to love.

"Sara, I'm so worried about you, why is your line not going through, Call me! Yours, C."

Complete with some love emojis, Sara smiled warmly and folded the paper, placing the note in her pocket, she looked up at the matron who was looking at her intently, and she blushed hard.

Muttering a quiet thank you she thanked the woman and left for the garden.

ARIEL

Ariel watched as her best friend Sara walked into the garden, smiling shyly.

Just one person could put this kind of smile on her friend's face, and she was anxious to know what had happened.

"Hey lover girl, what took you so long?" She asked her as she came and sat down with her on the grass patch.

"Oh sorry, actually Mrs Della had a message for me, from Christian actually." Sara said smiling profusely.

Looking intently at her friend, the joy and happiness that radiated from her face, she wanted to have this kind of love, but she hadn't been lucky in love like her friend.

Although Christian's friend Daniel was disturbing her, she didn't like him that much to the extent of being in a relationship with him, and she was not even ready yet, shaking off all thoughts from her head, she listened as her friend told her how Christian had come to the shelter looking for her.

"But the problem now is, where do I get a cell phone to call him, all our phones have been seized. Oh God what do I do now!" Sara exclaimed putting her hands on her head.

"Don't worry, that's not a problem, I'll tell one or two of my good friends here at the shelter, to borrow me their cell, we'll bribe them, okay."

"Yeah, that's a fantastic idea." Sara said smiling and clapping happily.

"Fine, now let's discuss other things, rather than Christian, Christian, Christian...." Ariel trailed off looking at her best friend who was smiling at her.

"Yeah right." Sara said chuckling loudly.
