CHAPTER III
UNFINISHED BUSINESSAfter a few more hours I was barely holding on to my consciousness. Dara just keeps shaking me to give my medication or we are close to a gas station. " here we are. the farthest of the farthest place we can find," she said. we are by the sea where things show simple life is expected. no houses close to each other but miles apart. waves crashing to the shore and seagulls are the sounds you hear.
" Where exactly are we?" i asked Dara. "I really have no idea, what I know is that they will never find us here," she replied.
Immediately we looked for a place to stay. asking whoever we can meet by the road, asking directions on rental houses. its not when we turned to a rough road where we saw an old woman seating by the road watching over the kids playing with the sand. "excuse me grandma,do you happen to know any rental houses available for us?" Dara asked.
The old lady just smiled and said. "I will be moving out of my house today for i will be going to taipei. if you want you can stay in my house for free." that gave us a shock. a house for free? for 2 strangers you just met? " are you sure about that grandma?" i asked. "yes, im old and i cannot take care of the house anymore. my daughter lives in taipei and i dont have anyone to turn the house over to. please stay in my house." she responded.
Gladly we accepted her offer. Dara and i thought that her house is near by but we were wrong. it was a few more miles where we met her. it was located at the foot if the mountain
