Head held high. Heels we're making noise telling everyone that Ashley Brooke is coming.
A girl in a suit is not normal, at least not on the roads of London. Where everyone was wearing laces dresses, and truth to be told I have not expected anything better it is London of course!
Where queen Victoria lives in all her glory. Wish I could get a glimpse of her. I want to glance at her, to her royal palace, the royal chariot which gave life to the beautiful artistic culture.
I want to see everything with my eyes in a single day so that I can capture everything in my memory.
I started walking on the road, my hair was loosened resting on my shoulders, telling everyone that I am a woman in Men's clothes.
However, I need to analyse quickly how am I going to travel? I cannot walk all day and pretend nothing would hurt me.
Neither can I book a cab here, it will be costly for me to do so. Therefore, I need to find a bus station!
Though I need to hurry up to catch up with the time that is slipping from my hand. However, I have not forgotten that I am starving for too long.
I need to find a shop as soon as possible. I started walking again in the hope to find a local shop selling some hot gripping burgers or sandwiches. Oh! Whom I am kidding? If I am in London I should try sandwiches as I have heard in past; London offers you the best sandwiches in the world and I am not in the mood of eating boiled potatoes.
I found a crossroad shortly after my walk and at one side of the road, there was an old man with his son who was selling hot gripping sandwiches and got coffee.
There was a polish cafe opposite the side of it. Everyone was going to the cafe. From young generation to old. At least they should have tasted some food from this shop too!
Can't they see how hard this old man is trying to recover?
I saw his old face covered with wrinkles, his eyes were dark, and his hair was grey. When I arrived at his small shop, he smiled at me.
That was a genuine smile of the human species where he doesn't know how he was looking, he was just pleased to have my presence, a customer's presence in his little shop.
I ordered two sandwiches and a cup of hot tempting coffee. What would be better in this weather than one cup of hot coffee to calm your nerves down.
His eyes that were lost and humid had a sense of hope on them and these are the things we all live for aren't we?
While devouring the most delicious sandwiches in the world I asked him- if he could tell me about a place that would be calm and serene with some good food.
Yes! Of course! I am going to eat as much as I can because I am in London!
He directed me to go to Wembley park, so here I am on the way to explore the beauty with my sunglasses on.
I waited for half an hour at a bus stand to catch a bus when a group of boys came near to me.
I became alarmed knowing that I have to make sure my identity will not reveal in any circumstances and the second thing is- I need to stay away from them, what if they are perverts?
"Hey, sexy! What's your name?" One of them mocked at me? I could he was a man of young age, a foolish man indeed.
And how dare he call me sexy?
Who is he to call me sexy?
Thank goodness the bus arrived on time, I rolled my eyes and got inside the bus.
Thankfully, I found a window seat from where I could easily explore all the shops around the corners.
Soon, the bus crossed the clock tower, oh my, it was marvellous, the artistic aroma of it would drive anyone crazy. I have seen it in movies before, but not in real life.
I took a long breath which I was holding for too long. My eyes were sparkling and memorised to relive the moments which I have always seen in movies.
Soon, I got the announcement that I have reached Wembley Park.
I think I shouldn't have come here. All the couples were in their loving company enjoying the weather while I was alone walking in a suit as I am not even a woman!
Why??
Why God??
Why?
What did I do wrong to you to receive such an unpleasant opportunity?
Anyways, I m here on a mission to enjoy and explore beauty rather than cry on my non-existence romantic life.
Well, you are engaged now! You have a fiancee
My inner voice has to chime in this time when am I completely hopeless without any scope.
I was near to a big lavish tree whose branches were older than my life.
And then I felt a tap on my shoulder. I became stoned just by a touch of it.
Who dared to approach me in a foreign country where I have hidden my identity very well.
"Ms Brooke?" I heard a familiar voice.
Then I looked around to find Mr John Steward blinking at me with his keen eyes.
What on the earth is he doing here?
And how did he recognize me?
For a second I thought to run away and tell him I am not Ashley Brook, I am an alien who came to save this world from people like Mr Blake Jensen.
However, it sounded stupid to me, so I ceased that thought of mine immediately and looked up at him again," Mr Steward, what a pleasure to meet you?" I fake laughed. I might have grinned too hard, my jaw was hitting from acting too much. He also gave me a look which was telling me that there is no need to overreact he is not a stupid man to comprehend my foolishness in a serious matter.
"I heard you got engaged to Blake Jensen!"
Suddenly his voice changed from grumpy to stoned when he mentioned Mr Blake.
What's the matter between them??
The last time I checked they fought at a cafe despite knowing that they both are big industrialists.
There must be something horrible between them as they are not ready to stand in each other's presence.
"Yes, I got engaged, but-" I stopped in mid, I cannot tell him that it's a fake one. I cannot even tell my mother about my whereabouts, so I should not tell him too.
"But?? You were saying something?" He raised one of his eyes brows and took a step to get closer to me.
"No! Nothing!" I looked away while roaming my eyes in every direction.
"And how did you recognise me, Me Steward?" I asked him while crossing my arms over my chest.
He took a step again only to look into my eyes directly," I can find you anywhere Ms Brooke," he uttered, but for some unusual reason, it didn't mean the same.
