4 I Have Finally Found You

As they sat down to enjoy breakfast together, the atmosphere in the room was filled with warmth and a sense of togetherness that none of them had experienced in quite some time. For Anna, especially, who had been alone since her father's passing, this shared meal was a beautiful reminder of the sweet moments from her childhood when she used to spend quality time with her family. The nostalgia tugged at her heartstrings, making her appreciate the simple joy of eating breakfast with newfound friends. For the first few minutes, a comfortable silence enveloped them.

Anna decided to break the silence and asked, "where do you live in Dehroi, and what do you do there?" ( Dehroi is the city where Anna and Porsche live.)

Porsche replied, "Um, I live near the  SunSky  Walmart, and I work there as a cashier." Anna nodded, absorbing this new piece of information.

Suddenly, Porsche's mother had a moment of aspiration ( a medical term used when water goes into the windpipe) due to drinking water too quickly, causing both Anna and Porsche to react with concern. Anna quickly got up from her chair and began tapping on her back gently to help her through the moment. After a while, she calmed down, leaving everyone relieved.

After they had finished their breakfast, Anna prepared to leave. She returned the pajamas to Porsche and expressed her gratitude.

However, Porsche didn't want Anna to depart so soon. As Anna was about to bid them farewell, Porsche interjected, "I don't think you'll be able to catch a bus at this time. You should stay here until the afternoon."

Anna hesitated, then replied, "It will get too late. I'm okay. I can walk until I find a cab."

Porsche, genuinely concerned for her safety, persisted, "Okay, then I'll walk you to the cab because it's not safe here."

Anna remained silent but appreciative of his concern. As they were about to leave, she bid goodbye to Porsche's mother, to which the older woman replied with a cryptic statement, "You look just like her." Anna was puzzled, casting a questioning glance at Porsche.

Porsche chuckled and said, "She's always saying random stuff like that. Isn't she cute?" Anna gave a warm smile, charmed by the eccentricity.

Together, they left the house and made their way to the bus station. The bond between Anna and Porsche was deepening, forged through shared experiences and newfound connections, and as they walked side by side, they couldn't anticipate the adventures and revelations that awaited them in the city of Dehroi.

"......"

As they walked together towards the bus station, Anna expressed her gratitude for the hospitality Porsche and his mother had shown her. Porsche, however, abruptly asked, "Don't you remember me?" His question caught Anna off guard, and she stopped walking, her face filled with confusion. She inquired, "What do you mean?"

Porsche, now realizing he might have startled her, calmly responded, "Ah, sorry, never mind." Anna continued to gaze at him with a puzzled expression. Porsche quickly tried to defuse the situation, saying, "Hey, I was just joking, okay? Just forget what I said earlier."

With the tension eased, they resumed walking, and soon they reached the bus station. Fortunately, they found a bus waiting. Anna breathed a sigh of relief, knowing she would be able to continue her journey. As she turned to Porsche to say her goodbyes, he surprised her once more by asking, "Well, I don't know your name. It would be easier to address you."

Anna met his gaze with a steady look and replied, "My name is Anna Wizer." She waved at him and started making her way towards the bus.

Porsche stood there, watching her depart. As she disappeared onto the bus, he whispered to himself, "I have finally found you."

Unbeknownst to Anna, her encounter with Porsche held a deeper significance, one that would gradually unfold and weave their destinies together in unexpected ways.
