Mr.Stranger
912 Words
Rosaline POV.
I looked all around and there he was in front of the grocery store. I told him to meet me here. I walked towards him while I was walking towards him. A child was sitting on a bench. He looked really sad. His condition was not looking good. He looked like he was crying. I walk towards him instead of Mr.stranger
"Hey what happened? Why are you looking sad?"
"Nothing..nothing happened, I'm fine."
He was lying.
"Listen, if you tell me about your problem, maybe I can help you." What's with me helping strangers today? But this child looked like he needed help.
He looked at me and then said "My mother she's ill and my father is not at home. She's hungry and ill. We don't have any money because my father never gave any money to my mother. My mother works so that she can raise me but now she's ill, She can't go to work anymore she uses all her money and now....we have nothing, not enough money to buy food or medicine for her."
I felt really sad for him. I was thinking about how I can help him. I looked down and suddenly an idea flashed in my mind.
"Here take this food." I gave him my lunch which I thought that I'll eat in the park. This boy needed this food more than me. He looked at me with a shocked face and I gave him a smile. He was looking like he was about to cry. I gave him some money for the medicine for her mother. Now he was crying.
"I don't... don't know how to thank you," he said.
"You don't have to be okay, just take care of your mother. I'm getting late....my bad I didn't even know your name. What is your name?
"Zion".
"Well Zion my name is Rosaline it was nice meeting you."
"For me, you're not Rosaline you're an angel". I smiled at his childless.
"I'll leave now thank you so much for your help angel."
"Bye Zion."
"Bye Angel."
I was feeling happy. It feels good to help others. I started walking with the bag in my hands. Bag? OH MY GOD!!!. I remembered I was going to give this bag to Mr Stranger. I looked at the direction where he was standing before, Thank God he was still there but it looked like he was going to leave any minute. Oh god!
I walked towards him but he was already sitting in his car. Oh man, I've to stop him but I didn't even know his name to call him without thinking twice.
"Mr.stranger!"
People around me stared like I'm some kind of retard. Who screams Mr.Stranger in the middle of the road?
Seriously Rosaline?
He stopped in his tracks and looked around here and there to find me.
"Over here." I waved at him.
He was...smiling but he should be angry with me cause I was late half an hour and he was waiting for me in front of the grocery store.
"I thought you'll not come."
"Here's your food." I gave him the bag.
"Thanks for your help." Oh, so I can get everything I want and know how to say thanks replied. Pretty impressive.
"Your welcome," I answered him.
As I was leaving he stopped me.
"Miss stranger."
What?
"Huh? Did you call me?"
"You didn't even let me know your name so you're a stranger to me too right? So Miss stranger what's your name?"
I know I shouldn't judge but he looks like the playboy type.
"That's not necessary for you to know."
I don't feel like it was necessary to tell him my name after all he asked for help. I helped his case closed. It's not like we're going to meet again.
"Okay, then can you tell me why were you late? I deserved to know that."
"I told you to wait for me over there but you were standing here so how's this my fault?"
"Oh...I thought you want me to wait here so I guess it's my fault then but it's not that far you can see me from there."
"Yeah I saw you but then I saw a child he was in a problem so I decided to help."
Where am I? In an interrogation room?
"If you had asked your questions I'm leaving now."
"One more question?" He asked me.
"Shoot."
"What's your name?"
"I told you it's not necessary for you to know Mr.Stranger."
"Oh come on it's just your name."
I ignored him and started walking back.
I stopped walking when he said
"I think I need to find out your name by myself then...Miss Stranger." He said with a smirk on his lips.
Boys. . .
I reached home and my brother was still not at home. I was really tired because of the whole helping incident. First Zion then Mr.stranger. I think I overreacted. I should have let him know my name. It wasn't a big deal.
It doesn't matter we're never going to meet again after all."
My stomach growled. Wow, after all this struggle I'm still hungry. The door opened and enter Max.
"Munchkin I brought you some food." He said and I found myself smiling like crazy. So he's not that irresponsible. I dashed out of the room to fill my empty stomach.
After having a delightful dinner I went into my room to sleep.
