Coming out of the brothel was a new experience for both of them. When they sat at the back seat of our car their eyes were calm and had deep feelings that they didn't express and were difficult for me to understand too. As we left those narrow lanes and came to highway I wanted to talk to them but hesitated as I myself was not sure whether it was right time yet. We came a long way, we entered our city of destination and Lek woke up a long and tiring drive, she hold Tip hand and she was awake too. They started whispering but I could hardly understand what they were talking about. The only thing I could make out of their conversation was that they were exited about the city. I finally got my courage to ask something to them. I said " do you like it"? They were shocked and surprised but they answered in chorus " yes". Finally I was little free to talk to them I asked whether they were hungry, to my surprise there was no answer from their side. I understood they were shy and scared to answer that. So I pulled over my car to the nearest gas station, so that we all could freshen up. While we were sitting and waiting for the order to come, I asked both of them about their education and background. Tip started crying I could make out why, maybe it reminded her of her family behind. Lek consoled her and answered she is missing her family. I can not get you your family but where I am taking you will be very happy, I said. The order came and we started eating. While we were busy eating Tip asked, "where are you taking us"? I didn't expect this question but I said to a new house, where you will get love and many new friends. I started our journey again. Now I could fell a new thing in their eyes and that was hope. I was happy I hoped they were too. We reached our destination at about 7 in the evening. I entered the orphanage to talk to the manager. While they were waiting in the car. It was time for a fresh start.
