Sabrina looked at Grandma Azere and explained, "She told us that due to the heavy rain last night, she got lost in the forest and took shelter here in the cave."

Grandma Azere\'s brows knitted together. "Really-?"

"Hello Grandma!" the woman greeted her.

"Who are you? Where you come from and what is your name?" Grandma Azere began her interrogation.

The woman starts crying. "My name is Amara. I live far away from here in the Loodella Village. I escaped from my captor. They abducted me and going to sell me in the slave market. I arrived here in the forest while the rain is pouring hard from the sky. I finally found this cave and took shelter," she explained between sobs.

Grandma Azere studied Amara\'s clothing. Her white dress was indeed dirty and muddy due to the rain last night. "Then leave the cave now. I will help you go back to your village," she said.

Sabrina looked at Grandma. "She can\'t leave the cave. She can\'t breath outside the moment she leave the cave. Just like what happened to me in the past..."

Grandma Azere\'s brows knitted together. "What do you mean?"

"Amara tried leaving the cave awhile ago but she crumbled in the ground, suffering with difficulty in breathing. Rhett has to leave the cave fast and bring her back here. Then her breathing returns to normal," Sabrina elaborated further.

Sighing, Grandma Azere studied Amara\'s face. It\'s hard to tell if she was telling the truth or not. But since Amara is already inside the cave, she must increase the food that she had to bring to the cave. Once Mother returns from the tournament, this stranger can leave the cave, that if she allows it.

Azere addressed Sabrina and Rhett. "Guys, you have to take care of Amara from now on. We\'ll wait until the witch will return here and I\'ll ask her to spare your life girls. No other choice for now. The three of you must live together in harmony in the cave. Be kind to Amara, since she\'s the newcomer. Teach her everything she needs to know about the cave. Sabrina you have to let Amara borrow some of your clothes," she said.

"Yes, Grandma," Sabrina replied.

"I will go now. Divide the food well between the three of you. I only bring food enough for two person because I didn\'t expect that we have a newcomer in the cave. I will bring more food later at noon," Grandma Azere said and walked away from the cave.

Sabrina looked at Rhett. "I\'ll bring Amara to the chamber so that I can give her some of my clothes and she can wash up in the stream before we will eat breakfast," she said.

"Okay, I\'ll escort you to the stream," Rhett responded and grabbed the basket.

They left the entrance of the cave, went to the chamber to get some clothes, and proceed to the stream.

Rhett stood near the rock, scanning the area for any signs of snake, while the girls are doing their thing in the stream.

A few minutes later.

Amara already changed into clean clothe and they went back to the chamber.

Sabrina divided the food into three portions. "Let\'s eat!" she said and handed the plate to the shy woman.

"Thank you!" Amara said.

"Don\'t mention it," Sabrina replied and handed the plate to Rhett. She sat on the bed beside him.

The couple began eating while occasionally gazing tenderly at each other.

Amara glanced at the lovey-dovey couple several times while munching on her food.

After they finished eating.

"I\'ll washed the plates," Amara volunteered.

"Let\'s wash the dirty dishes together," Sabrina said with a smile.

Amara nods her head and replies, "Okay..."

The women went back to the stream and washed the dishes while Rhett stood on guard.

After they finished in the stream, they returned to the chamber.

Rhett talked to Sabrina. "My love, I\'m going to the entrance of the cave..." he said.

"Okay, I\'ll talk to Amara and give her more info about this cave," Sabrina replied.

"Don\'t go to the stream and the toilet without me!" Rhett reminded her.

"I know," Sabrina responded.

Rhett leaned down and planted a kiss on Sabrina\'s head and left the chamber.

Sabrina giggled, loving Rhett\'s display of affection.

Amara saw the sweet interaction between the couple. Curious, she asked, "Are you husband and wife?"

Sabrina shook her head and replied, "No. We\'re still at the early stage of our relationship. We met here in the cave. It\'s a long story..."

"Ah, I see... I thought you guys are married already. You looked so sweet together and your boyfriend\'s name is-?" Amara asked.

"Oh my... we forgot to introduce to each other! My name is Sabrina and my boyfriend\'s name is Rhett. And the old woman you saw outside the cave is Grandma Azere. She\'s the one who bring us food here everyday because my boyfriend and I can\'t leave the cave," Sabrina said.

"Oh, really? So, it\'s true that this cave is cursed!?" Amara said.

"Yeah, you experienced it yourself earlier when you try to leave the cave, you nearly died, that is why you have to return to the cave to breath normally again," Sabrina elaborated further.

"But why this cave is cursed?" Amara asked in bewilderment.

"It\'s a long story. You don\'t have to know the rest. Once the witch returns, she might set you free. So, just wait for her return so that you can finally leave this cave," Sabrina said.

"Who is this witch that you are talking about?" Amara asked.

"She is the witch who cursed my boyfriend and this cave," Sabrina replied.

Amara was shaking her head. "Honestly, I find everything that you told me today very confusing. The mystery of this cave blows my mind away," she commented.

Sabrina sighed. "Alright, I\'ll tell you a little bit of the story. When Rhett was still a young boy, he wandered in the forest and took some fruits that was planted by a powerful witch. The frut bearing tree was guarded by Grandma Azere. Rhett had eaten some of the fruit and the witch got angry and imprisoned Rhett here in the cave as punishment. If he tries leaving the cave, he will die just like you and me. Only the witch who cast the curse can free us from here," she said. She didn\'t inform Amara about the kiss, she thought it\'s no longer necessary to tell her about it.

Amara was silent for a moment, analyzing everything she heard from Sabrina.

"Do you believe in witches and magic?" Sabrina asked.

Amara nods her head. "I do..." she replied.

"Good. I won\'t have a hard time convincing you - that what\'s happening in this cave is due to that witch who imprisoned Rhett in this cave for ten years," Sabrina said.

Amara raised a brow and asked, "Just because of the fruit.. the innocent kid was cursed by the witch? Don\'t you find it a little bit weird or absurd? I think there\'s a more bigger reason for the curse. Anyways, it\'s no longer my concern. Thanks anyway for telling me about these things, it saves me from going crazy, wondering about the reason why I\'m going to be stuck here for a long time," she said.

Sabrina released a deep sigh.

Amara looked at her and asked, "Why you\'re sighing?"

"Nothing," Sabrina responded by shaking her head. She rose to her feet. "Will you be okay here, alone? I\'m going to talk to my boyfriend," she said.

"Go ahead..." Amara replied.

"Just don\'t go to the stream or the toilet on your own. If the call of nature arises, don\'t hesitate to inform us right away so that Rhett can escort us there," Sabrina said.

"Why I can\'t go to the stream and the toilet on my own?" Amara asked.

"Because this cave is dangerous. Snakes and scorpions can appear anytime and fatally harm you," Sabrina replied.

"Ah, okay... I\'ll keep that in mine. By the way, thank you so much for your help and for being kind to me," Amara said in a grateful tone.

"Don\'t mention it," Sabrina responded with a smile and left the chamber.
