One way or the other way

Chapter 4

 

The wind blew as the next day arrived. God seemed unhappy about what had happened yesterday and thought it might be time for a punishment. Wind howled around the River Thames; wind danced  the metal like a piece of paper; wind shivered across the oak tree leaves. Anna looked at the window door, mumbling, sobbing, holding back. It was time for Anna to save the secret but she was too frightened that the commander was going to do something to her. She couldn’t wait any longer, so she got a piece of paper and wrote some notes on how to save Bilal. ‘If Bilal is in a cage: ask Mrs Gates to distract him. If the cave and rocks are jammed: find a secret place leading to the cave.’ Outside, clouds covered the sun like a bodyguard. Inside, heaters are breathing around the house. Steadily, Anna ran outside grabbing Mrs Gates to an unknown cave. Will they find Bilal?     

 

The time has come and Bobina followed them into the cave. Anna turned around to see Bobina “What are you doing here!” Anna shrieked as she jumped, “I want to help you!” Bobina cried out “NO, you plump little girl!” Anna yelled as she leaned forward. Mrs Gates couldn’t take it anymore, she held Anna’s hand tight like a dog on a leash. Without hesitation, Bobina still followed them  but she just hid in the place that goes deep if Anna and Mrs Gates turn around. As they kept on walking, a stop. At the end, two ways had been split up, one on the left and one on the right, Mrs Gates held Anna’s hand and gave her a kiss. They are risking their lives just for Bilal, you never know what could happen. You don’t know if they might get killed, Bobina has one choice to pick, Mrs Gates or Anna.

 

They didn’t find Bilal anywhere so they just gave up. As they were walking  out of the cave they heard a voice yelling ‘HELP’ “Did you hear that?!” Anna thought “Yes I did but it’s too late and we don’t know which way to go, left or right” Mrs Gates said backing up from the cave.

 

Later on, Anna and Mrs Gates tried looking for Bilal but he is nowhere to be seen, not even where Mrs Gates and him met. The friendship, the laughter has no longer to be seen ever again, now everything has gone back to normal but Anna and Bobina are no longer friends ,Bobina had missed Anna since the day they went in the tunnel. 

 

You see,  this happened 35 years ago, and Bobina was quite older than Anna at the time. Anna got her own job and now is the Boss of the CEO. Bobina, who is quite spoiled now but is now living on the streets  with LV bags as her bed, she ran back to her aunt’s house, hoping they would receive the letter that she sent to them. She doesn’t want to go to her parents house since they are always fighting. Her aunt received the letter but couldn’t find Bobina anywhere. As Bobina was roaming about on the street, she remembered  that she wrote a letter the her aunt, she went back to her aunt’s house and saw that the backdoor was open for her. 

 

Before, Anna’s dad always thought she wouldn’t get a job and Bobina would. But it has changed and Anna treats Bobina like a stranger now since she didn’t go according to the plan that they both made. And to this day they are still no longer friends, just strangers. Karma is always true.
