[ Warmth filling their hearts,tears welled up in their by the owerwhelming feeling that wrapped the atmosphere ]
Zunisha: (finally Zunisha broke the silence by speaking first) now, you have to tell me everything about you and I will do the same, but it is okay if you are uncomfortable to speak about it........
Rosemary: no it's not that I feel uncomfortable to tell you about it, it is just that it will take time for me to process everything .
Zunisha: sure , you can take all the time you want , even I am surprised ,I mean these many years I thought that I didn't have any siblings and suddenly today I found you ...... don't mind me I am just overwhelmed.
[ both of them didn't speak for almost a minute and it was an awkward silence , the silence broke when they heard knock on the door ]
Rosemary: (in a crying voice her expression numb due to fear) It's them, I know its them, what do I do, please don't open the door please I beg you they will take me there again!
(She was shivering ,as if she is remembering some trauma)
Zunisha: (in a soothing voice trying to calm her ) wait calm down let me check the door, no one is going to take you anywhere I am here with you calm down just stay here ,okay?
[She walked towards the door and opened the door briefly, only much where she can peek outside but no one can see her]
Zunisha: who's there?
Outsider: it is me Samiha.
(She took out relived sigh, and open's the door, a girl around Zunisha's age appeared who had hazel eyes which were glowing like amber in the sunlight , she had sharp chiselled features which were in the perfect harmony )
Zunisha: oh it's you Samiha wait there I will give you the orders, you can sit in garden till that time.
[Zunisha rushes in her room and brings 4 big and 2 small boxes outside with her in two rounds , and handed it to Samiha]
Zunisha: can you take all of these boxes by yourselves?
Samiha: ah don't worry about me , I came here with my brother he is waiting for me outside the gate in the carriage, by the way I think you are going to get two more big order for the hair thickening medicine you made a week ago , I don't know how but the word of your herbal medicine went in the noble circle and apparently viscountess of Alexander house and baroness of Anson house are going to give a big order soon!!!
Zunisha: oh my that's a wonderful news,
Samiha:[she said with a soft grin] I am getting late for the deliveries Allah hafiz
[Zunisha greeted Samiha and went back inside]
Rosemary: [ in trembling voice] who was it ?
Zunisha: it was my friend she helps me with the deliveries
Rosemary: what deliveries?
Zunisha: I quite have the knowledge about herbal plants and I make medicines and sell it with the help of my friend
Rosemary: herbal medicine ? I am hearing it for the first time that a commoner like you knows how to make medicine
Zunisha: I know it might sound surprising that I know how to make medicine ( as normally only people above 40 are that knowledgeable to make medicine ), I grew up experimenting and gathering knowledge on plants as my grandmother was once used to be a family doctor back when she was young , what house was it again?.... Oh! I remember now it was the house of ...Mcmillian.
Rosemary: Mcmillian? That is the house where I got adopted!
Zunisha: oh Is that so , it is not even that surprising to hear that she used to work for the grand duke according to her skills she could even work the royal family...
Rosemary: was she that good?(she said in disbelief in her tone)
Zunisha: of course, do you doubt me? [She said with a fierce voice]
Rosemary: oh no no, I was just wondering how good she was ...
Zunisha: looks like you don't believe me, come here with me
[She caches Rosemary's hand and takes her to a room downstairs]
Zunisha: here we are, this is the treasure my grandma left me behind
Rosemary: what is this place [she looks around and saw the room half covered with varities of plants and other half of the room covered with books related to plants and medicine]
[it was a room very spacious ,half room was shining with the sunlight coming through the glass ceiling and the other half of the room with a big table in the centre with a few chemicals and a stone pestle, weighing scale and other equipments used in making medicine]
Zunisha: this is the medical lab my grandma used to use all the time, and you can also say it is my playroom.
Rosemary: playroom?
Zunisha: yes my playroom, (she said with a hint of pride)I grew spending most of time here , I used to experiment and try breeding different type of plants and help my grandma.
Rosemary: oh that sounds like you used to enjoy your time with your grandmother, were you to close?
Zunisha: yes, I used to enjoy spending time with her lot and we were very close she knew everything about me, [she turned her back towards Rosemary ] from my favorite color to the flavor of candy I like [while she was talking her eyes got filled with tears ,and it looked like she was trying her best to not cry]
Rosemary: oh it seems you guys were very close,I wonder how it feels to have a grandmother granddaughter relationship [ she said with a empty voice]
Zunisha: yes truly, it is very hard to explain when it comes to describing the relationship of families, now let's change the topic, are you calmed down?
Rosemary; yes....
Zunisha: so, now are you ready to tell how you got here and everything else?
Rosemary: yes I am ready [she said with a nervous voice]
Zunisha: ok lets sit in the living room , you wait for me there ,I will make bring some tea and till that time ,okay?
Rosemary: ok, I will wait for you then.
[Rosemary walks to the living room and Zunisha walks towards kitchen]
(After a few minutes Zunisha walked towards Rosemary with two cups of herbal tea)
Zunisha: (placed the cups in front of them) drink up it is getting cold! (She said with a warm smile)
Rosemary : yes, thank you ( she picks up the cup in her hand and rubs the cup handle which was showing her anxiety)
