panting, clutching her belly Shit! You gotta help me!
Manng
look at Maria curiously Where did you come from? Are you ok?
grabs Manng's arm, tears streaming down her face Please, I don't know where else to go! I need your help! I can't...I can't do this alone anymore!
Manng
Do what? What's wrong? holds Maria hands gently
takes a deep breath, speaking in hushed tones Look, I'm pregnant, and I've been on the run for weeks. I don't have anywhere to go, no one to turn to.
Manng
How can I help?
looks around cautiously, then whispers There are people after me, Manng. Dangerous people. I need a place to hide, somewhere they won't find me.
Manng
You can stay with me for now. We can figure out what to do next. Do you trust me?
nods, wiping away her tears I don't have much choice, do I? Trusting you is my only hope right now. But please, hurry!
Manng
Okay, let's go inside. We'll lock the door and stay quiet. No one will find you here.
clings to Manng's arm tightly as they walk towards the house Thank you, Manng. I can't believe I'm finally safe.
Manng
Here we are. This will be our safe place.
looks around, taking in her surroundings Damn, this place is isolated. Good. We need to lay low.
Manng
Yes, we should be safe here. Let's get you comfortable. Is there anything you need?
glancing around, whispering urgently I need food, water, and a clean place to rest. And please, lock the doors and windows, Manng. We can't afford to take any risks. And... pauses, hesitates I need to make sure no one follows me here. Can you help me with that?
Manng
I'll take care of everything. Just relax. You're safe now.
<Manng takes Maria inside the house and provides her with food, water, and a comfortable place to rest. He locks all the doors and windows to ensure their safety. As they settle in, Manng and Maria start to develop feelings for each other, finding solace and protection in each other's arms.>
Manng
So tell me more about yourself Maria. What did you do before all of this?
sits up straight, clasping her hands together Well, before all this chaos, I was actually a nurse.
Manng
Really? That's impressive. What made you leave?
leans in closer, whispering It's a long story, Manng. But let's just say that I stumbled upon something I wasn't supposed to see.
