72 chapter 72 (1/2)

Isnel's eyes lit up like that of the sun shining in the early morning.

The old woman spoke,”Did I say something wrong, honey?”

Isnel said,”No, it is just that you were the one that came here for. I was told by Enoka that you would help me find work.”

The innkeeper looked surprised by the name drop of her close friend. Isnel gave the woman the letter with Enoka's special seal.

The female innkeeper had read the entire letter of her close friend with tears in her eyes. It was a request for her to help the young Isnel and her child Hiroko. The old woman had seen a lot go down over the years but the telling of what had been done to Isnel broke down the old woman into tears. The old lady shook her head out of disbelief of what such a young woman had faced in her troubled past.

Isnel was starting to walking away when the old woman yelled out with tears in her wrinkled eyes,”Honey, where are you going? I have got to get you a room ready for you and your little girl. Forgive me if you thought I had belittled you by showing disapproval. I just did not believe something

so terrible and vile could happen to such a young person, such as yourself.”

Isnel turned back around with a look of anger on her lovely face but she was crying deep down to how her life had went until this point.

The innkeeper speaks,”You can call me by my first name, Rose and what do you want me to

call you young lady.”

Isnel spoke,”Isnel is my preferred name I wished to be called by, since it was the name that my mother had gave me.”

Rose spoke,”That is a pretty name dear, I like it very much. Follow me and I will show you to your room so that you can lay down your baby, Hiroko. You have to be tired after such a long walk

from all the from Enoka's home village.”

Isnel spoke,” I am okay, but Hiroko is starting to get fussy from the short trek.”

Rose shook her head in concord but what wonder to what Isnel considered a long walk if one hundred miles was nothing to her.

Isnel was given a room with a large Queen size bed and a wooden baby crib that was near the bed where the woman would sleep in. There was everything that a mother could possible need was in the small but excellent room. There was even an in home bathroom with running water.

Isnel was in awe of the room and was lost in the moment.

Rose spoke,”This is your room dear and do not worry about any work for about a week or two, so that you two could get situated to the new setting.”
