" how are you this morning Celine" Martin adds .
" I'm great thanks for asking what about grandma, how is she going?" she asked while trying to see inside the house.
" oh she is doing great she asked of you yesterday..." Martin says trying to keep the conversation going but realises Celine's mind was not there at all but inside, he was kind of disappointed
" I'm going to check on the guy, where is Dr Alain? " She purses and asks.
" he should be in the backyard" Martin replied
"oh I see, I bought this for him," raising the basket in her hand "I will put it down inside " she walks inside as she finish saying that. putting down the basket on the table in the living room she rushes into the bedroom to see the unconscious guy still unconscious, she cover him well with the bed spread, sitting on the bed so close to him, she could see his features clearly, his brows craved perfectly, black hair, his eye lashes are as long as that of a woman and more attractive, his skin is so fair non of the people here can compare even some in the city may not be as attractive as him.
"when will you wake up" she muttered under her breath " I hope you will be okay " she signed. Thinking of the cold glare he gave her back in the wood made her shoulder, she held his hands, his fingers are long and not too thin, it is just right, lost in thoughts she didn't notice Martin looking at her at the door, he too was lost in thoughts looking at Celine.
There was a noise coming from the living room jointing Celine and Martin from their thoughts, Celine looked at the door to see Martin there, she wonders when he has been standing there.
" how is he ?" she asked Martin
" well..." Martin was reluctant to answer for some reason known to him.
" he is doing okay, Celine" out came a voice of Dr Alain who just enter into the room " his vitals are okay,he just needs to wake up to determine the next move, and why are you still here, won't you go and help your mother at the shop?" Dr Alain said to Celine with a frown " do you want me to ban you from coming into this room? " he added with a treat
Quickly getting up, Celine says " No don't do that, I'm on my way already" pouting her mouth she said "I brought the food, it is in the basket on the table, good bye Dr Alain and Martin " she run out after taking a quick glance at the guy on the bed.
on her way to her mother's shop she met auntie Jane's daughter Ella
" good morning Celine" Ella said.
" good morning Ella, how are you doing, going to the market? "Celine reply
" yes, let's go together Celine " Ella said and hook her hands around Celine's hand." is there anything new in the village, gist me" she continued.
" oh, nothing much happened in the village these days and you, how was your time with your grandparents" Celine asked.
" well, they are fine and they took care of me there, I feel like a princess there but here I have to go to the market to help out mum, i wish I didn't have to come back" Ella said, sounding sad.
"well you have to come back because school is about to resume and you are going to the 10th grade this section , how are you preparing?." Celine asked.
" I don't have to prepare anything, I just need to go to school next Monday, mum have prepared everything I need. what about you you are in senior year, which university are you choosing to go to?" Ella asked.
" well I haven't thought of it yet, and I still need to discuss this with my mother before coming to a decision." Celine said while thinking of how to convince her mother of her choice.
" I will advise you to go to the capital, it is much better there especially university A, the number one university in the whole country A... well I need to get to my mum's store now bye , see you later Celine."
As they walked into the market Ella went on her way, Celine went on to her mother's shop from there.
"mother I'm here " Celine called out her mother.
" Celine , good you are here help me measure these ladies and show them some of the design you made earlier" Karen said to Celine immediately she saw her, she was very busy attending to other people.
" where is jade ?" Celine asked her mother while picking up a tape and the measurement book.
" I sent her to buy some fabrics we need" Karen replied as she continue conversing with the customer.
jade is Karen's apprentice and she helped Karen in the shop, although she hasn't mastered the craft well she is still of good help to Karen especially when Celine is busy with school activities.

By the time jade comes back from the store, Karen and Celine were taking a break from a busy morning.
" I don't know what I will do if you were not here Celine, it was a busy morning" Karen says, drinking the cold drink Celine bought from across the street.
" I think it is because we didn't open the shop for two days now because of the storm. A good thing we didn't disappoint any of our customers " Celine replied her mother.
" I'm back" jade shouted she was panting heavily, she took the cold drink Celine dropped on the table, drinking it she feels satisfied.
" did you get all the fabrics?" Karen asked after she saw jade calm down.
" yes I did and at a cheaper rate at that, I told the store keeper that since I am buying many fabrics that should give us discount and they did, look at the invoice." she showed the invoice to Karen.
" Good, we have lots of orders we need to meet up for this week, hopefully we will be done before Celine resumes her school" Karen says. she ended up briefing Jade and Celine on their works and they begin the work for the day.
