"Here you are. We were looking for you" Carlo said as they approach them.
"Woe! where did you meet these pretty friends?" Aran asked admiring Maria.
"You all can here" Inna said adjusting so Carlo and Aran can sit.
"Nice hairstyle" Carlo said rising to his knees as he gently touched Maria's hair pearls
"Right?! I love it too" inna said agreeing with Carlo gently rubbing Maria's hair backwards.
"Let's go play over there" Aran suggested pointing to his left
"Oh no! We can't. Her legs are terribly shaking when she stands up. I don't think she feeling good today" Inna disagreed with Aran gently rubbing Maria's back in concern
"I want to go go home" Maria said looking at Frank
"Sure but where is your home?" Aran asked eager to know
"In the sea!." Maria blurt out without thinking
"Sea side. She meant at the sea side." Frank immediately cut in before she could unknowingly expose her identity.
"Then we shall accompany you home" Aran said attempting to hold her hand but she withdrew her hand and suddenly hid behind Frank hugging him from behind like a little child hiding herself from strangers at her mother's back
"No! I only want Frank to accompany me home" Maria said pouting and making cute puppy's face
"she's cute" Inna said smiling at Maria's childish act. Frank smiled as he watch Maria's fair skinned hands goes through his armpit to his shoulders. He stood up to lift Maria and the rest stood up as well. Carlo and Aran attempt to help her stand up but she his her left hand at the back as a sign of refusal. Frank helped her stood up and Inna held her waist for support. They walked 5 steps away from where they were and Inna left Maria leaving her in the care of Frank.
