Nate you sure know how to tell story Noah chuckled, don't pay hid he is like this because Lati is gossip just has he. Oh Lati the twins laughed , my dearest brother turned red has a tomato. only Lati can pull strings on him that way Noah hyped and we laughed.

My family has the best Restaurant in town, have I mentioned it. Oh no I didn't, but I told you guys about Mama magic hand right. Her recipes are enchanting. Natalie El Amar came from a long line of chief. Recipes flows in her blood strings. Hopefully I got her genes; "Men manage the finances while the Women manage the kitchen" those are my grandma's word. Everyone have high expectations from me. sometimes I wish I was just an ordinary girl from an ordinary Family. No matter how ordinary my background. we are ordinary extraordinary people just imagine our town having my surname as part of it name. how ordinary can a Family like that be. however you wash a leopard you can never change its spot my big brothers favourite quote.

my 20th birthday is in six month time. To be the great chief of my generation, I will have a quest to accomplish far away from home. I always thought I would never leave Hortus El Amar. I cried the day my parent told me I was to leave all the things I have learned, leave my comfort Zone to uncharted land, where I knew no one. I feel like a Lamb offered to be slaughter.

princess papa sighed diligently you know very well your Mother and I would never do any thing that would bring harms your way right. This is necessarily for your journey to be the successor of your Mother. we are all born to fulfill destiny. This is yours lay down before you. you can never know how far you would go if you never have a leap of faith in life. you have to leave your comfort zone to know what you are made to unleash. sadly this breaks my heart more than any other person, my heart is bleeding has a say all this to you. I watched you grow up. The first time a laid my eyes on you as you where cradled in my arms. I made a vow to love and protected you no matter what he squeezed my hands that where in his sadly.

I just sat on my bed with my tears stained cheeks listening to Papa's sad words that tightens my heart; only tilting my head occasionally to look at him in between my brow. my oceanic blues eyes that have always twinkled with enthusiasm looks sad and without life. Mama remained quiet I wonder while she didn't say any word but her beautiful face was wrinkled looking like she aged twice her age.This made me filled with tears for my uncharted future of six month away from home.

why is m.. mama not saying a word I shivered. I silence confusion and made me tremble. you are going to be fine, that a know she gave a tight smile that didn't even reach her eyes. they love we have given you over the years will help you through, all you have to do is use what you have been taught over the years she sighed deeply.

whhh...what love are you talking about? what really happened in the years you were send away? I screamed at my parent... I..I..I am not strong enough I finally sobbed silence and Mama brace me in a warm embrace. I could feel her warmth, love and assurance just from her hug as I silently cried my heart out.

I would have really loved to tell you, about my experience years back when I was sent away to the uncharted land but traditions does not permit to do so. she struggled to say as we break the hugs as I was much calm now.

wh...y I asked in between hiccups as I laid my head on her lap, her hands playing with my jet black hair with silver at the tips. I was told I took after my maternal grandmother's hair. Eleanor Leonard.

your destiny and mine are two parallel lines baby, when I tell you. you might want similar results as mine but Life doesn't work that way. our paths are in the decision and choices we make but our destinies are writing in the stars. we are but pens in the hands of the creator.Dont be scared my little one you are of the bloodline of the El Amar and Leonard you will do well she smiled.

papa looked at me with so much affection and guilt wishing he had the power to lock me my away. I smile at him to reassure him I will be fine. I have to be fine. I sighed and thought. I will be fine I say to reassure
