CHAPTER 5

                                              THE SHOCKING INFORMATION

          "She is nineteen years old Master," Mrs. Adel said with guiltiness in her face as she did not give this information when she was interviewed.

          Master Javen was so shocked by this information as he thought her child was a small kid.   It took him a minute to process this matter in his brain.   Master Javen had one fault on this matter as he did not bothered to ask about her child age at that time.   Looking at her directly into her eyes, questioning.

          "Forgive me Master for not informing you this matter. I was scared that you won't hire me if you know that she was not a child.   Please forgive me Master.   I can not leave her to anyone as she is not normal," she said honestly pleading and explaining and almost to cry.

          "NOT NORMAL??   What do you mean?" Master Javen was again stunned with this information.

          "Master, please forgive me.   My daughter has a mental problem due to an accident that happened to her.   I can not leave her to others for fear that she would be molested or lost.   I can not forgive myself if that would happened but I need to work for us to live.  I can not find a job that I can bring her with me.   I had tried once bringing her to work but my employer got interested to her and was almost rape.   Although I can not give her a very comfortable living, eating three times a day and a shelter for us, I am already thankful.   And I am very thankful that working here was already a big help for her to stay calmly inside the quarter.   Forgive me Master, I did not lie about us but only kept the information about her." she bowed her head and her tears were dripping down as she narrated her situation.

          Master Javen can not say a word, as he felt her honesty and how she treasured her daughter even though she was not normal.

          "Master, this is the only job that I could take her with me and a place I felt she is secured and we can live together.   If you can not take us with our situation Master, I could fully understand, we can leave immediately.   Forgive me Master." she said and asking forgiveness.

          It was the first time for Master Javen to see and hear someone lives so pitiful.   She was a widow and yet has a mentally ill daughter.   She was poor and her situation can not allow her to find a good job because of her daughter's situation.

          Remembering last night, that she was probably the ghost girl that Master Javen saw for the past nights, but she did not looked at all abnormal.   She acted like a little girl but not insane.

          "Okay, I'll make the decision if you  and your daughter will stay or leave after I personally see her, your daughter," Master Javen sternly said to her.

          "Go, bring your daughter here, right now!" Master commanded to Mrs. Adel.

          "Yes, Master,"  she hurriedly went out.

          Master Javen's mind was in a dazed as he can't believed her daughter was nineteen years old, actually, she was already considered a woman.   His mind went back to the girl in the poolside that he saw.   It was a little far when he saw her but she was definitely pretty.   Master was interested with the girl as she made him crazy for three nights.

          Master Javen had never saw her around for a month but why it was just lately she came out?   Did she just learned lately how to sneak out from the servants' quarter?  He wondered.   He felt something inside her that seems to make him excited to see the ghost girl.

MASTER JAVEN MEDREX POV:

          I was so shocked to know that her daughter was nineteen years old.   I had never thought it was already a woman but knowing she was not a normal woman was even more shocking.   I could hardly process in my head as I was expecting to be the girl I saw in the poolside the past nights.

          When I regained my sanity from the information Mrs. Adel told me, I had spontaneously commanded her to go get her and bring her to me. Although she said, she was not normal, still I was interested to meet her.  I want to solved the ghost girl apparition.   I want to see her right in front of me as for how many nights had she disturbed my mind and made me sleepless.
