Unnaturally Fated

CHAPTER 4

Kealan with a dropped jaw as she look to the old couple with confusion, and at the same time surprise.

How come, the old couple is looking for a caretaker when there is someone already living in the house infront of them? She thought.

“This will be the house, I need you to take care with.” The old Mrs. Trinidad informed.

“I hope you would take care of this, like it is your own.” Mrs. Trinidad added, giving her a hopeful kind smile.

Still, confuse of what is happening, Kealan just chose to respond the old woman with a smile, but after a while because she can’t stop her curiosity she asked the couple. “Can I know who owns this house?”

“The house doesn’t look like don’t have someone living here. I also passed here yesterday and I saw someone inside.” She added, roaming her eyes to the surrounding, hoping to see the man, who let her in last night.

“Oh, that…It must be our helper, that we sent to clean the house.” The Mrs. Trinidad replied, “she might had stayed overnight again last night.”

But it was a man I was with last night. She wanted to say, but the Mrs. Belle Trinidad’s husband, interrupt.

“I’m sorry to interrupt you two, but hon we wife need to go now. We can give her, her instructions later, Kealan might want to rest first.”

“I know Kealan would take care of this house very well, right Kealan?” Mr. Trinidad said, and asked.

“I will, don’t worry Ma’am and Sir.” She replied enthusiastically to ensure the old couple that they are not wrong for choosing her. Even though at the back of her head, she is still confused about last night and today.

Right! Let’s stop digging, about whom she was with last night. It might be the helpers son right? She thought.

Yeah! It must be like that. What the most important is, she will not going to worry again if where she would end up sleeping in the street, because now, she had found a job. She said to herself, erasing the questions in her mind.

--

The Trinidad couple left, after some added introduction about the house from Mr. Tridad. Leaving her at the porch of the house, after giving her the master keys of their grandson’s house.

But, with those information that they gave to her, their grandson’s whereabouts is not included, but she didn’t mind it nor even asked about it for the old couples privacy.

Kealan waited for a while, while roaming her eyes around the premises, before she decided to come in.

It must be her instinct, but she opened the main door gently afraid, that she would disturb the man she was with last night, but after entering the house, a deafening silence welcomed her, making her sigh.

“Yeah, he must be left with her mom.” She uttered.

“I didn’t even have a chance to thank him.” She added, roaming her gaze around.

“Wow!” She exclaimed in awe she finally notice how beautiful the interior of the house is, that she didn’t able to notice last night and this morning, due to her being in a hurry.

The interior, is manly in a combination of ash gray, black and white which also one of her favorite color combination. The lighting is jist simple, but it can see that it cost hundred thousands to lit the whole house.

The living room has a very huge flat screen television, the mini cabinet underneath consist a lot of racing toy cars that also seem cost fortune to get it.

The wall has a paintings with a painter initials J.V.T in it and arranged in according the dates that the paint that she think was finish.

Kealan has spent 2 hours to tour the house, and she can say that how much is her eyes is full with so much adoration of how the house interior was made.

But after, she settle on the sofa in the living room, she finally felt sadness all of a sudden because of emptiness of the said house.

“This house is wonderful, yet empty.” She unconsciously uttered.

“When will you came back, Mister?” She added staring outside of the window as she thought of the man who look like Ryan Reynold who let her in last night.

Strange, but she felt comfortable with the man last night, even though it was the very she met him.

Kealan didn’t notice dozing off to the sofa, because of tiredness, and just woke up because of her stomach being hungry.

She forgot to eat lunch, because she is occupied by touring the house, and now the clock is in 6 in the evening, no wonder, her stomach is grumbling again.

She first, took her things to the room that seems for the helper like her, and left her bag after taking her wallet, to dine out, as she haven’t buy any supplies and she also plan to buy some tonight to spend less.

She was just close the door of the room she choose occupy, only to scream and jump at the same time because of too much horror, seeing the man who looks like Ryan Reynolds standing before her without her not even felt it or notice its arrival.

A manly baritone laughter filled the house, after she screamed in too much horror, making her back from her reverie after hearing the man’s laughter.

“Sorry, Miss. Did I startled you?” The man asked after his laughter died after seeing her giving him a death glare.

“Startled? No, you scare the hell out of me!” she replied annoyed.

She still feel her heart beating so fast, thankfully she doesn’t have a heart disease or else, she would surely get a heart attack. She thought.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t really mean to scare you.” The man apologetically said to her.

Kealan, suddenly felt calm upon seeing the man’s sincerity in his eyes while saying sorry. Making her sigh to ease her frantic beating heart because of the man’s sudden appearance.

“Why, did just popped out all of a sudden,” she asked. “It really scared me. I thought I will have a heart attack even, I don’t have one.”

“Sorry again, I just want to test if you would finally see me again.” The man explained, making her puzzled.

“What do you mean?” She asked with a knotted brows.

“I mean, I just want to make my presence known. I had been watching, you since you arrived, but you seemed didn’t notice me, so…yeah!” the man explained with a smile, making her brows more knotted than it already is.

“Y-You mean, you have been here all the time,” she asked intriguing. “Where?”

“Here, I always been here all this time, maybe that’s why you didn’t able to notice me.” The man replied making the puzzle in her mind went scramble again.
