The fateful encounter 2

At the dinning hall.....

Tia takes in her food as Sean and Ryu continues talking. This was the first time in years that Tia was surrounded with so many people. It made her uncomfortable, secluding herself for quite some time made her very anxious around people.

#Sean#="What's wrong Tia? Is the food not good? "

#Tia#="Nothing's wrong, I'm just missing home"

#Ryu#=""it's just been a week, so it's obvious that you miss everything ,but soon you'll get used to staying away from home"..Ryu speaks out taking a spoonful of food in his mouth with his head bent down.

Tia felt dejected.. And sat quietly.

Ryu lifts up his head and sees Tia's sad expression.

#Ryu#=" I mean you'll get used to your work,and you can visit home whenever you get holidays"..

#Sean#=" Yes, Ryu's right".

Tia smiles darkly and said."Yeah right. Or maybe i can directly resign from my job if i miss home badly "..

Ryu and Sean gazed at her, but did not dare utter a word. They felt a huge wall crashed down between them.They knew Tia was not really willing to get along with them. So they continues with their food.

Tia stands up and with a glowery voice says, "I'm full, I'm gonna go ahead. You guys enjoy"..and leaves the table with her plate.. Sean and Ryu kept gazing at her walk away... Still without uttering a single word.

The same evening, knowing Sean and Ryu will be present at the dinning hall for dinner she decides to skip dinner and talk a walk around the dorm instead..

The dorm was a few yards away from rhe office building, two buildings were standing side by side, the building which she was staying was for female employers, and the other building was for males, though the entrance of the building were separate,it has one bridge connecting the two buildings making it look like a capital 'H', she often see workers use the bridge, for transfering loads of laundries to the laundry room which is in the other building.. She walks round the dorm and notices that the building has another back door to go in and out of the dorm. The employer's dorm was at the top floor, and the bottom floor's were for the workers incharge of the dorm, laundries, some cooks, electricians, gardeners etc. The company has it's own sets of workers ready for any household works, it was a strange company, " it looks more like a hostel than a company", thought Tia.. She continues walking and reaches the male's dorm.. "I better not be seen by anyone here, or else I'll be regarded as a peeping Tom! ", She turns away and starts walking back to her dorm when suddenly she hear footsteps behind her. She walks faster so did the footsteps behind her follows her faster.. A few steps later she hears Ryu's voice calling her, "Tia, wait".. She turns back and sees Ryu ,her heart skips a beat, he was in his trek pants, a towel round his neck. .. He looked younger than when he was in his formal ,he looked like a totally different person.. It seemed like he was out for an evening jog,

#Ryu#=" What are you doing here, isn't now the time for dinner?"

#Tia#=" I'm not hungry so i was taking a walk around the dorm".

#Ryu#="Oh I see. , but why take a walk near the male's dorm? "

Tia was deadpan, ...

#Tia#="..Uh, I was enjoying the breeze, and i didn't realised i have strayed far away from my own dorm"..

Ryu stares at her, confused about what she said.

#Ryu#=" I see. "

There was dead silence for few seconds...

#Ryu#="Tia. ".

#Tia#="Yes,? "

#Ryu#="Let's get along with each other"

Tia glares at him blankly..
