The Journey of Starla Love

About Daniel 2

After that, the boys and girls ran over and also looked at me with curious gazes.

"But you said you didn't have a family." Say a little girl in a quiet voice.

"This is Starla's sister. I met him yesterday. He found me on the street and helped me. He gave me a lot of delicious food and let me stay with him." Said Daniel.

"Where did you meet?" I asked all those kids.

"We met at the Orphanage, and Daniel fled there because he was persecuted. They didn't even look for Daniel's whereabouts. Daniel has nowhere to go. So he lives on the streets by himself." Say a little girl named Tia to me.

I looked down at Daniel who looked down. Maybe he remembered some bad memories that happened to him.

I don't want to push him any further to tell me everything. So I offered the boys a lunch for them.

"All right, but we have to be back by 05:00." Said a boy named Jack.

We also went to eat together.

So here I am now. On a street in the city L. A city I didn't know about with 7 kids who were about 10 to 15 years old. I take them to watch an animated movie and go eat. Daniel seemed so happy to see his friends and all his friends also seem to like Daniel. But when I asked Daniel if he wanted to stay with them, he disagreed.

After we finished walking, I drove the boys back to where we had met and I made them promise that I would see them again.

Daniel and I are now walking towards some vacant houses that are being sold and talking about the price. Daniel seemed silent for a while, but then he started talking. He probably realized that he needed to talk about the problems he had and wanted him to share with me in that dark time of his life. She seemed to trust me and treat me like her own sister.

"Sister." Said Daniel.

"Hmmm..." My reply looked towards him.

"Please promise me that you'll never leave me the same way anyone else has done in my life." Said Daniel.

My eyes were filled with tears as I looked at the sadness in Daniel's eyes.

"I promise." Reply me.

Daniel took a deep breath and he sighed and started talking.

"I live happily in this city living with Mama and Papa. Papa is a businessman and Mama is the CEO. Their company was so famous and they were both known to many people. I was 6 years old at the time.

One day I was playing in my house and Mama was cooking dinner for us and suddenly the sound of the door breaking down very loudly. My mom asked me to go into the room. I was so scared but didn't want to leave Mama alone. Mama pushed me and asked me to leave immediately, so I had to follow Mama's request.

I went into the room and I saw a terrified-looking Mama. Who wouldn't be frightened if someone out there out of nowhere suddenly broke down the door as if they wanted to break it. Mama quickly went towards the door as the door rang out on the break very loudly. I peed in my pants in my room and saw two dangerous men in black with a snake logo on their chests.

My room was far from the front door, so I couldn't hear what they were talking about. But I heard them yelling at Mama and Mama trying to explain to them like Mama didn't do anything. They seem to disagree with what Mom said.

I wonder who they really are. Why are they at home and talking to Mama like that? Are they someone from the company? What are they arguing about?

There are a lot of questions that pop into my head.

After that they came back and closed the door saying, 'don't bother me if you don't have any proof.'

I then ran towards Mama after they left and hugged Mama very tightly.

Mama carried me and laughed trying to hide all her feelings from me. Mom doesn't seem to worry me. But I kept asking Mama.

'Why are they bothering us Ma?'

'No dear, no one is bothering you and Mama, Papa. My mom will always be there for you. Mama will always protect you.' Reply Mama.

But the truth is, Mama lied." Speak to Daniel softly.

His face showed there were so many feelings that my heart felt hurt. There was disappointment, fear, distrust, anger, everything mixed in his voice.

At this moment Daniel's eyes were filled with tears. I immediately hugged him. He was so open to me that he allowed me to enter into a dark part of his life.

'Did telling her everything make her feel uncomfortable?' my question is in my heart.

So I went back to talking to him.

"If you don't feel comfortable talking about this, you can just stop, baby." My speech.

"It's okay Brother, I'd feel better to tell you all this with you." Reply me.

After that, I took her to an ice cream shop where we were not too far away.

The ice cream shop was almost empty, there were only two to three people sitting and chatting there. I bought Daniel ice cream. I bought her favorite ice cream, chocolate chip mint.

He looks happy to see me carrying that ice cream. He looked like a baby looking at his toys. After that he ate his ice cream and looked like he was thinking about something.

I actually want to know more about him. I want to know what's inside his head right now.

'Is he thinking about his past?' my thinking.

Seriate...
