Hard to understand

Approximately 45minutes from when she called, she hears the door bell from the kitchen.

She tries to call out on the kids to get the door but no response so she leaves whatever she is doing to go meet meet the the McCains. She warmly gives each of them a hug and a peck as she welcomes them in and signals them to sit on the couch.

"Oh goodness!, it feels like forever since i was here last except for Lunn who comes often. I can see some changes in the settings" she says as she roams her eyes around the place before she settles on the dark brown couch facing the 40inch flat screen TV.

Lunn's mum was an average height woman in her early 40's who could actually pass for a 30year old. She didnt wear that much make up, only alittle shade of peach brown lipstick on her almost full lips which always matched with the clour of her thick wavy hair which she mostly wore in a pony tail and a little mascara which brought out colour of her dark eyes which she had inherited from her half spanish ancestral background. She worked in an estate office downtown so she was dressed in formal attires most of the time.

Aunty offered her a glass of lemanade which she requested after Lunn excused herself to go upstairs hoping to get a word or two from the depressed Martha.

"I surely dont understand, its been 3years since the fire but she has failed to just however much i try. Aunty tells mrs. McCain. For the past two weeks its been so worse, she rarely eats and barely talks to anyone. Its so devastating for me to know that she is going through all that alone without accepting help from anyone. I dont know what to do anymore maybe i wasnt the right person to raise her in the first place".

Aunty is a pale shabby lady, almost same age as Lunn's mum but looks way too older, i guess its an effect from having 4 kids. She barely leaves home because except when she goes to buy grocery just a few minutes from her house. She stopped working so she could help homeschool Martha who didnt wana associate with anyone anymore.

Martha's parents were fairly rich so she could always keep up with the expenses on Martha's money. She had a visible small gap in her front teeth which appeared everytime she smiled, which she akwardly did more often with mrs. McCain around.

"You are the right person my dear. Mrs. McCain says tapping her on the shoulder. She is just a little girl still holding on to what once belonged to her. I cant imagine myself being in her situation because its truly hard, really hard that i cant even face her. Am not even a bit strong as she is. You too i know it takes a toll on you to have to see her everyday curled up in bed, sunken in her sadness but i kno she wil come around. Atleast she has Lunn. I have to run before i get late for work.

And oh by the way, i think Lunn will sleep over today thats if they she can get Martha to feel better. Thank you for taking care of her dear, it surely takes courage just know she needs more to time". she gives her a comforting hug as she leaves to her silver benz parked up in the driveway. She waves her goodbyes as she starts her car and leaves leaving Aunty standing in the doorway staring at her, admiring her great poise.

Lunn on the other side reaches out to Martha who is laying on her bed facing the ceiling with tears in her eyes. Lunn cant tell yet if she has lost weight or grew more pale since the last time she was here but she reminds her self that it would be better if she doesnt comment on that. When Martha sees her, taps on the bed signaling her to slip into the bed with her without saying a word. After a little while, she rumbles something which Lunn doesn't gasp quiet clearly but doesnt push either.

She knows that Martha will talk whenever she feels ready so she waits. They both fall asleep only to be woken by Aunty to come down for lunch.
