It was supposed to be another normal day…
It was almost midday and I wasn't ready for work yet, I quickly put on my short brown and green kimono and slide on my brown tights. I grabbed my black flats, quickly brushed my hair and ran out the door.
I arrived at work a bit late, but ,y boss hadn't noticed.
'I have to stop practising before work' I thought to myself.
"Kadaliah you need to restock the fruit, and don't forget you leave work later today" Mayel yelled from the back room.
I grabbed an apron and walked over to the fresh fruit.
"Excuse me Miss, could you please tell me where you keep your tea leaves?" An old man pulled me out of my thoughts.
"They are just over there, next to the lettuces" I pointed towards the tea leaves.
"Thankyou" he smiled
"Uh, sir just before you go, may I know your name? You seem very familiar to me" I asked awkwardly.
"Of course" he smiled.
"I'm General Iroh and-"
"Oh my General Iroh, I can't believe it! I'm Kadaliah Shanu, General Radu's Granddaughter " I spluttered out.
"Ah, Miss Kadaliah, it has been many years. How are you?" General Iroh said pleasantly
"Kadaliah, stop talking and get back to work!" Mayel interrupted
"It is my fault, just reconnecting with an old friend" Iroh said.
"Oh, uh general, forgive me as I did not mean to offend you" Mayel stuttered
" It is little problem" Iroh smiled
Mayel walked towards the back cupboard and gave me a your-in-trouble-look.
I sighed, "He will want to talk to me later"
"We should have tea, I'll be leaving tomorrow"
"I finish work at 4, I could met you at the teashop then?
"Good, see you then" Iroh smiled
I sighed, thinking over what just happened.
The tea shop was busy when I entered it but I spotted Iroh straight away.
"Good evening Miss Kadaliah, I already ordered some tea. I hope you like Jasmine?" Iroh said smiling
"Good evening, thankyou and Jasmines fine"
"Kadaliah, are you alright? You seem upset" Iroh said, taking a sip from his tea.
"Oh, uh yeah" I lied, giving him a half smile
"I can sense something is wrong"
"Well, uh, I was dismissed from my job today…"
Iroh looked at me
"For socializing with a fire nation general." I paused.
"My boss thinks it would affect the business" I said awkwardly
"Oh, Miss Kadaliah I am extremely sorry. Is there anything I can do?" Iroh said shocked
"No General Iroh, please it's fine. My boss was crazy anyway" I sighed
" There are very few jobs here, how will you buy food and pay for your house?" Iroh questioned
"It will all work out somehow General Iroh, I'm sure"
"Please call me Iroh, and I feel responsible for this"
"Iroh, please it's-"
"You could come with us on the ship. There is plenty to do there, and there is food and, Uh , my nefew does need someone his age on the ship…" Iroh sounded excited
" Gener, uh Iroh, im not sure I will need some time to think…" I mumbled
"We leave at sundown tomorrow, if you arrive you will be welcomed onto the ship. Please do think wisely about this" Iroh bowed as he left the table.
What am I going to do? I thought to myself.
Pease review guys :) xo
