Strangers
Dara ChroniclesAuthors POV
The people on the Mercedez just came from a party. They have traveled for 2 hours now and from where they are, it's only about 30 minutes more before they reach their summer villa. The husband- a doctor, and his wife are talking, reminiscing about their daughter who passed away last year because of leukemia.
Only 15 years old. It was hard for them - she's still heartbroken but tries to move on and him acts okay, but most of the time he still cries remembering her princess.
They are driving through the neighborhood, so they were driving in a leisurely pace. It's too early in the morning but unusually, both are still not tired.
"Honey, we'll still carry out Haena's party right? You know how she loves the summer house. I think she'll want us to do that." the woman said.
"Of course, honey. It's a good thing you convinced our son to come here with us. He's been distant since Haena passed away." he answered. He started the wipers when it started to rain.
"You know how close those two are. She's like a shadow to him and like you, he spoiled her." she answered with a chuckle.
"But we both know who spoils her most." he answered smiling. She smiled back then look out the window. "Honey!" the man suddenly said and stopped the car. She followed his gaze and saw a person lying in the middle of the road. "I saw him fall... he just fell." the man said as he took of his seatbelt and went out the door.
The woman followed with an umbrella and walked behind her husband. He crouched down and touched the unconscious person, turning him over.
"Honey..." he said again and she peeked over his shoulder.
"Omo... it's a girl!" she moved nearer and touched the girls face."She's burning up. Hurry let's take her home, it's nearer." she said and he nodded. She assisted her husband as he carried the girl and placed her at the backseat.
The wife sat at the back as well and placed the girls head in her lap. The husband went back in and started the car. While driving, the woman started removing some of the girls wet clothes, she then covered her with her coat. She took her handkerchief and started wiping the girls face and forehead.
"How can someone so young be out there at this time..." she said when the girl started to moan.
