Arabella ran through the large house heading to somewhere in particular. She couldn’t believe it. She just couldn’t.
She remembered what John had told at the garden just a few minute ago.
“Well at least am glad that you are the only one who heard ” Arabella said as she gave John a smile.
“Well actually there is something I have to tell you”John spoke out looking a bit worried.
“If it’s bad news then I suggest you keep it or something. I don’t want to hear it. Have had a bad day already I don’t want to have another….. ”
“I wasn’t the only one there”John said cutting her off.
“What do you mean? Was someone else listening to the conversation?”Arabella asked all attention on him.
“There was someone else there too”John replied.
“Who! Tell me who it is!”Arabella demanded.
Getting to the stairs. Arabella took the stairs two at a time not bothering to acknowledge anyone greeting. All she had in mind was getting to her destination.
She made it to the room and took several deep breath before knocking on the door. She was about knocking a fourth time when the door was pulled open.
“We have to talk”She said as she walked into the room.
She tried thinking of a way to broach the subject to him but when nothing came. She turned to him.
“Judging from the way you keep starring. John must have told you”Gerald spoke first.
“He did and I…..”
“Nothing you say can justify what you did Ara or should I say Bella”He said folding his arms.
“I know that nothing I say can justify what I did but you’ve got to hear me out”Arabella said.
“What more is there to listen to? I already heard everything when you were talking to your father”He replied.
“But that isn’t all of it”Arabella stated.
“Do you still have more secrets? I thought I heard it all”Gerald said cynically.
“Its not a secret Gerald. Its an explanation”She replied hopefully.
“An explanation. Do you know that have been waiting for that explanation for a while now?”He asked.
