Chapter 5 - Weird things

i opened the large push doors and stepped outside . i was greeted by the strong wind which blew over my face , it was so calming. ii opened my arms to enjoy the breeze .

' so this is what it means to go outside when indoors for a long time '' my thoughts were soon disrupted when i spotted two individuals who were watching me with a ''what a weirdo'' face 

i immediately gained my composure and started walking like nothing happened.

'' oh my God , those people probably think i am mad '' i said to myself 

'' kharis, you don't have time for this you need think of plan to save kaly '' i said to myself 

'' but first i need to find a way to pay these bills '' 

i then looked ahead and i saw someone running towards me head on , but before i could react i got knocked down .

'' hey , watch it '' i said angrily as i got up but i was ignored as he continued to ran

'' what a jerk'' i then chased after him and i was surprised to see myself running with so much energy, after i just got discharged from the hospital 

i finally got held of his right arm and pulled it .

'' hey , didn't they teach you manners'' i said but he just slapped my hands off and continued to ran . 

'i guess not , so i'll teach you some ' i continued to chase him and i was actually enjoying the energy i was giving off 

he then made a sharp turn to left of the road and quickly pulling down a trash can to slow me down , but i was able to evade it by somersaulting over 

'' what was that'' i was so surprised by what i did, even he was not expecting that. 

i had hope i was going to catch him but then the ways blocked with tall fence , thinking the chase would be over . he jumped on a big trash can and manage to get on top of the fence he then waved goodbye before jumping off to the other side.

i was so pissed off , i thought i could get him . but i actually i enjoyed the chase, i never thought i could run like that .

i guess i run too much that i got lost, i was in the middle of an alley which was not familiar to me . i managed to get to the roadside but there were no cars , i was confused. i saw houses but they were wrecked. the whole place was deserted

''is this an abandoned street '' i said . i tried crossing the road to get to the other side of street when out of the blue, a car was heading towards me with high speed. 

at that moment i froze , i couldn't move even though i was in danger but at the same time felt relaxed like i knew i wasn't going to get hit. it was weird feeling 

'' the car stopped in time before it could hit me . i just fell to the ground coming back to my senses. ''what was that''.i said

a brunette lady stepped out of the car. '' 

 ''oh my God are you okay'' she pulled me up.

'' yeah , i guess so'' 

 '' allow me to give u a ride, as an apology'' she said

it was a relief for me, cause i didn't know how i would get home.

i got in the car and before i knew it we where on the main street . i wanted to ask her about the deserted area but she beat me to it.

'' so what were you even doing there'' 

'' i was just taking a walk'' i lied , i didn't know why but i felt i shouldn't tell her the truth.

''oh really, like an exercise'' she said

''yeah just wanted to get some things off my mind '' i said as stretched my hand to my lower back pocket for the hospital bill, but then it was gone.

i then realized that when he knocked me down ,he took my bill sheet

''NO'' i shouted , she then pulled over

'' why was the problem'' 

i explained everything to her and i almost felt like crying.

''you know , i own a cafe shop just down the street here , you could come work for me''

this was a miracle but also too good to be true 

'' thank you , so much ''i said 

''here's my contact if you need any help'' i took it gladly

she dropped me off at my address and i was about to go 

'' i actually , didn't get your name ''she said

''the name's kharis''

''well then kharis, see you at work tomorrow '' she then drove off

''wait , i didn't get your name '' i shouted but it was too late she was already gone.

i was so happy and glad about the offer but there was something off about her.

'' there is something weird going on''
