The Stranger and The Prospective Boyfriend

The walking continued .Fiona wanted to see Tenson . Her heart was dancing far away from her chest . She put hands above her head . It was a long walk because Tenson lived five kilometres away from school . As Fiona walked past her house she noticed familiar faces staring at her . She was not in a mood to talk to anyone until she had seen Tenson . Every minute without seeing the face of Tenson was like five years away from him and every hour was like tens of years away from Tenson . She wondered , as she walked nearing Tenson's home village , what had Tenson done to her . "Surely I was not like this before , is it now that I am bewitched , what is this madness following Tenson ? ". Fiona asked herself and shaking her head at the same time . She assured herself once she sees Tenson she would just pretend she followed him because the teachers were asking about him . No need to show a boy that you like him so much , he may think I am cheap , Fiona told herself. Just before she turned left into a hilly road a man with thick voice called her name, " Fionaaaa ! " Fiona turned with her heart pounding . Her eyes met a man with white hairs that shined and his smile twinkled at her, Fiona was afraid . The white haired man stepped forward extending his hand , " Let's shake hands , don't be afraid." As Fiona shook his hand the memories of her dream came alive . She previously freaked after dreaming a man standing between her and Tenson proclaming , " it is done." The said , " Fiona , you are looking for Tenson . You lied to your teacher about the stomache." Fiona jumped in total shock. How come he knew her mind . The white haired man continued , " You see Fiona , you are planning to pretend that you were not looking for Tenson . You want to tell Tenson that the teachers were looking for him . That's where I have a small problem , Fiona . Pretence is a mother of frustration. Turn around, look at that stone ." Fiona turned around . " Now imagine , if that stone pretends its a river would you believe it ? " Fiona shook her head left and right . The white haired man continued , " Now , the stone might be acting foolish to pretend its a river , isn't it ? " Fiona nodded. " Then when you meet Tenson , tell him exactly how you feel. Tenson is not brave to say he loves you but between two of you one has to break the ice ." " So if you know what happens underneath the heart where is Tenson and do you think he will like me ?" Fiona asked . The white haired man folded his hands and stepped backwards , " Fiona , it is not the third person like I to show you the way where your heart wants to go . If I tell you where Tenson is , tomorow you will need to come to me when Tenson disappears . Go and look for him. If I tell whether Tenson likes you , it will be like discovering gold for others , go and explore his heart on your own ." Fiona was not happy with the response . She walking away from the white haired man . The village where Tenson lived was nearing and her eyes visualized how it would look if Tenson is with his mother . She closed her eyes and as soon as she opened , the white haired man stood in front of her , " I forgot one more thing he said ." Fiona looked away and said , " I don't even know you go away ." The white haired man said , " Ummm , am Zina Zina , by the way, I forgot to tell you Tenson is not at home . Take this other route, he is not far from here ." Fiona was about to ask him questions when the man vanished . Fiona turned right and followed the orders . She walked and walked and walked . She passed tall trees and the forest was getting thicker and thicker . It was afternoon , her mother would be expecting her home . But she promised herself she would not go home without seeing Tenson . She didn't care if her mother gets upset with her . Tenson was more important every second of her life . She reached a small river there was a wooden bridge . She called out , " Tenson ! Tenson ! Tenson ! " She only heard the sounds of birds mocking each other. Fiona was afraid . It was getting dark . What if the white haired man told her the wrong way. What if he was dangerous ? Fiona found her heart pounding . She wanted to ran away . The sight of tall grass and tall trees with sign of no one was frightening . She called for the last time , " Tenson ! Tenson ! " There was no answer . Fiona started running home , the bush was just scary . Along the way , while still in a forest, she heard a rustling sound . She didn't even want to look incase it was a snake . She ran and ran but when she sat on a rock exhausted a voice made her look up . " Fiona I have been looking for you all day. " " Tenson I have been looking for you as well , I didn't attend classes because of you ." Tenson said , " After assembly I ran up there with my school bags looking for you ." They stood there panting and exhausted. They were frozen with shyness in between them . They found it difficult to move a step forward and hold hands even a hug was somewhat enbarassing . Fiona moved a step forward . Tenson talked about how the assembly was . Find out what Fiona and Tenson do next .
