PART 15

 

As they entered they saw a beautifully decorated house, there were plenty of paintings hanging on the wall and apiece more attractive and stunning than the previous one.

 

Aaliya and Aamir took their time to look through them all.

 

When they were done, they went forward and found a lady painting.

 

" Excuse me," said Aamir, "Are you the one who has painted them all?"

 

" Why yes I did. I hope you have liked them."

 

The lady had a Portugal accent but it seemed really sweet.

 

" Yes, actually we loved it." Said Aaliya.

 

" Oh yeah, we are really very sorry we entered without permission." Aaliya said quickly.

 

" Not at all a problem my dears, take a seat and I'll get something for the both of you."

 

" No its ok," said Aamir and Aaliya at the same time.

 

She did not listen to them and turned a corner.

 

" She has done a great job." Said Aaliya.

 

" Yeah she has." Said Aamir.

 

The lady came back, with a few glasses filled with what seemed like some sort of fruit juice, but Aaliya was unable to make out what it exactly was.

 

" Help yourselves dear," said the lady.

 

Aamir and Aaliya nodded and took up their glasses.

 

" Do introduce yourselves. I would love to know your names."

 

Aamir and Aaliya took chancing introducing themselves.

 

After they were done, she leaned close to Aaliya and said, " Your namorado, isn't it?"

 

Due to her love to learn new languages,

Aaliya knew the Portugal word for boyfriend too well.

 

Aaliya just blushed red, while Aamir seemed to turn cold.

 

" Your never too young…"

 

" Come on," said Aamir as he slammed the glass back on the table. Without even waiting for Aaliya he was out the door, had untied his horse, and had started towards the cottage.

 

Aaliya was scared what the response of the lady might be but she did not want to find out.

 

She too felt the house and got on her horse and started on the same path.
