A Vengeful Heart: Catalina's Dilemma

Chapter 4

CALATINA'S POV

I came back home safely with the help of my new friend Lucas but immediately I stepped in through the gates. I found out that there was chaos in the house. I went inside only to find them walking here and there like someone died. I had to walk up to someone and ask them what was the problem only for her to embrace me heavily. “She is back, she is back” Natalie shouted and Nicolas came down stairs.

“What have you been doing and where exactly did you go to? What is the problem with you?” Natalie asked.

“I had a really bad day but I was then followed by a man who helped me come back home” I replied.

“Who is this man exactly and what does he look like? Can I at least have a little knowledge of this man please?” Natalie asked.

“Well he is a young man. He is of average height and I think he is muscular and he told me his name was Lucas,” I said.

“Lucas, Lucas, he is the police head officer, what a good job he has done” Natalie said.

“What, he is the police. I wonder why he drove me home here without asking me the direction of the house.

“That's nice but I think you have had a really stressed day so I think it would be good if you come inside freshen up and come take your meal” Natalie said.

I wanted to tell her that I already had my bath at Lucas place but I didn't want her to come asking me unnecessary questions so I had to just go to the bathroom as she said.

“I would go now, let's just go to my room and take the birth and come down stairs for my meal” I said.

It was as if my uncle wasn't happy about my coming back. He didn't react but only stared at me without removing his eye's of me before I had to cut off the eye contact.

“Uncle, is anything the problem? What are you not talking about or doing ? You have been standing like that since I came back home. Is there anything that's the problem?” I said.

I was expecting an answer from him but he didn't say a word to me and left. I was really surprised by his actions but I needed to calm down at this point and Don't allow the anger inside him to rule now that I am in need of rest. “What's up with him is he's good,” I said to Natalie.

“I don't really know he should be happy about your comeback but he is acting strange” Natalie replied.

“Yes but it's as if he doesn't want me back here,” I said.

“Don't say a word like that he wants you back, maybe he is just unhappy the way you left home okay but not to worry just go freshen up and come downstairs and have something to eat. Lucas did a nice job finding you” Natalie said.

“Okay I will do that and really am so famished right now, I am really hungry I will have to do that quickly and Join you downstairs to eat” I replied and went to my room.

I took a few steps up to my room and as I entered I saw Nicolas again as he was passing. I thought of confronting him to ask him the problem with him but I wasn't courageous enough so I just let that be and left for my own room. “What could be his problem? Does he know what happened to me that made him angry, but everything that happened yesterday was all my fault because Lucas warned me about that alcohol and I went ahead and took it. I was not obedient. Wow that's remind me I never knew that lucas was a police officer and he acted like a guy that's just trying to be helpful i never knew at all he just disguised himself as a mere guy I am really confused at this point was it all a plan or what I would have to go and see him to ask him some few questions about what happened yesterday I would talk to him. I had to be fast with my bath and go downstairs for my meal.

“Natalie, you prepared this?” I asked.

“Yes I did. Is there a problem with it?” she replied.

“How would there be a problem with this delicacy? I am madly in love with this food. Okay, I really like it. I wish I could eat more,” I said.

“If that one isn't okay with you I have more in the kitchen okay I would love to share with you just fill your tummy up okay” she replied.

“I will always be happy with you,” I replied.

“But I need to ask you this question but if you are done eating I would tell you” she said.

My mind was challenged by what she was going to ask me so I couldn't wait because all my mind was on what she said so I needed to tell her.

“It's okay if you ask me anything, I don't mind telling me what you want to say,” I said.

“Well I want to talk to you about something important and it's a long talk. I don't think it's nice if I say it like this. Okay, just eat, I will talk to you about it,” she said.

“What would be this thing that she wants to tell me? I need to know what she has in mind for me,” I said silently.
