CHAPTER SIX
The boy had been saved by the sextone family,albeit reluctantly done by Emanuella. She had already developed hatred towards him. The fact that he was a public thief made her fume in anger. Although, Emanuella wasn't cantankerous by nature, she had gone hostile in her view about the boy who sat opposite her. She had become a judge who had given her verdict without an inquest, perhaps she believed the boy was suffering from kleptomania...
The boy on the other hand looked rigid and unbending as he asked the next question "For how long have I been here?". Emanuella who had been brooding in anger was stung by the question. She couldn't hold her fury any longer "you have actually outlasted your stay here, you thief" she exploded. The boy was quiet, he had noticed her hostility towards him from the onset. However, he was unperturbed, he knew he wasn't a thief, he was in such situation because he had no choice, he had to save his dying brother.. His plans might have ended in smokes, he never regretted..
"you have here for three days ", Mr sextone replied ignoring her daughter's Insolency.
" three days! ", the boy was on his feet immediately. Three days without his brother, he had never been separated from his baby brother for a day let alone as long as three days.. He wondered what had become of his brother.. The thought was making him go insane. He felt giddy, tired and physically jaded but he had to leave the residence immediately, he had been told that he had outstayed his sojourn in the family's home.
"I must leave right now",the boy said in a total Alacrity. Mr sextone was doubfounded, he wondered where he was going, maybe he had a family after all. But no parents in his right mind would stay idle when his child was missing. Mr Sexton had contacted some neighboring friends to report to him if there was a search for lost child, he had also contacted the nearest police station if there had been a report of a missing boy,but it appeared reverse was the case...
Even if he was to return to his parents, he wasn't in a good conditions to move around, he wasn't fit enough to ryse.. He had planned to ask about his parents, but the boy was leaving already, he didn't know his name, parents nor where he lived.
Now the boy was in the compound, he had somehow found his way. He didn't give the family a chance to ask where he was going, not that Emmanuella cared. But before he could exit the giant gate, Mr sextone caught up with him and volunteered to take him to wherever on earth he was going. He wouldn't allow an injured boy to wander about the street. The boy acceeded, Mr sextone as given him no choice.
Emanuella, who had been listening to there conversation was struck with curiosity, she pondered on why his father had so much interest in the pervert that he wouldn't let him go.. If she were to be her father,she wouldn't have gone for him in the first place. She believed his obsession with the boy had clouded his judgment.
