Chapter 13: Out to the mountain
The night passed by without a hitch. Coco stayed in her room with Lala and slept like a baby for a few hours.
The sun wasn't up yet when she woke up which is a great thing for her. She picked up Lala from the pillow and placed the fairy on her hair before she exited the room.
The first thing she thought of when she exited the room is the things she need to do for the whole day and just thinking about it already made her exhausted.
I wouldn't want to stay longer. I need to buy some seed from the market before making my way back to the mountain, then plant those seeds, take care of them, and then sell them again.. Ah, so many things to do. Coco went down the stairs and let out an undignified yawn as she approached the front door.
It is still dark outside and a few people is awake, but it isn't noisy nor bustling. Imagine how her heart almost jumped out of her chest and got startled when one of the husbands walked in.
She almost let out a scream when the door opened on its own and someone came in. Alhai's turquoise eyes stared down at her in confusion because she had her hands on her chest and was shaking slightly.
"Where are you off to?" It wasn't like for him to ask where his husband is headed, but he heard from Zaque that it's not their husband's soul residing in that body anymore.
He couldn't help, but be curious.
"Uh.. Uhh.. Out? Haha.." Coco laughed nervously, discreetly looking at his legs where she saw the bandages are wrapped.
