CHAPTER TWO
725 Words
The weight of her choice to agree with her husband to leave without her settled upon her like an anchor, leaving her feeling both liberated and desolate with loss of herself in the thought the world filled with many questions asking herself, How am I going to cope alone with these children,
How will life be on me alone without Samuel a day or even feeling his presence without seeing him,
Will my children be happy everyday like other days without seeing their father, As tears roll down from her eyes touching her and bringing her back to reality,as she thinks
about the only option left was to be strong and keep up to her duty.vThe wall clock keeps running fast and beats along Anna's heart to keep her eyes open and say the goodbye to Samuel that she was scared to say.
Finally here comes the morning sunlight and the family gathered to say their morning prayers.
Anna hurried to the kitchen immediately after the prayer to prepare breakfast for the family and the one he will take with him while traveling. Samuel was ready to leave with his bag,his wife and children were moody as they walked
him down to his car, He said to them, smile for me I promise to always call and if there's anything you need don't hesitate to call me.
As he entered the car the children burst in tears as they said to him Daddy,we are going to miss you and Anna said to him don't forget to call when you reach your destination and give your best at work.
We love you,
I love you more Samuel said.
Anna and the children wave at Samuel's car saying goodbye until he is gone.
The drive to the new city was about eight hours The city was beautiful as Samuel watched each building while driving and said to himself this city is beautiful maybe I will work my transfer to here permanently and take my family too I'm sure they will love it here, the environment and weather too.
Upon reaching his destination there was already a staff member assigned to him by the company to assist and show him around until the project was over. Good day Sir,my name is Francis John I'm here to assist you with the project and I will be standing as your Personal Assistance.
Okay Francis my name is Samuel Johnson and I hope they must have tell you everything you need to know about me and brief you about my work purpose so I don't think they is any need a lot of introduction because I'm already exhausted and I need to rest, Francis Said, okay sir I hope there was no challenge in finding your way here and very sure with time you will love the city,
No,I used a Google map in finding my way and the city is very beautiful I was really impressed with what I saw.
This is where you will be staying and if you need anything call me,and be ready because tomorrow morning I will be taking you to the office to see the director and sign some
documents in his office before taking you to the site for the project.
Thank you so much Francis for the kind gesture,
You're welcome sir, have a good night rest.
Samuel scrolled through his phone as he saw many calls from Anna,he dialed her number back
to call,
Anna's phone rings and she takes it to know who is calling only for her to see Samuel's name,.
Hello my love,
Hi babe,
I've been calling you and you refused taking your call's, sorry about that's my love my phone
was silent and I don't take calls while driving.

Okay that's not a bad one to start in a new place.
How are the children Samuel asked,
They are fast asleep already, okay tell them I love them.

She felt uneasy as she thinks through the new chapter of life, thinking how every moonlight story Samuel always told them before going to Bed.
