My Past My Future - Episode 13
Which way
I knocked consecutively on the door for Lizzy to open the door
I stood there waiting for her but when I didn't get any response
I searched my bag for the spare key
Thank God I always go out with it
I opened the door and met the dark room.
I called out Lizzy's name but no one answered.
I switched on the light, expecting to see her sleeping on the bed but the bed is still neat
"Where could she have gone to" I wondered, undressing myself
Unknowingly my bag dropped on the floor when I wanted to bring out my phone to call Lizzy
Everything in the bag littered on the floor
I sighed and bent down to pack them but a small well designed card caught my attention
I picked it up to read
The card felt rich in the hands
"Hmmm"
I turned it over and found "CRUZ RECORDS" boldly written on it
"Cruz records???
"The famous Cruz records" I asked myself
I tried remembering who gave me the card
"This is my card, call me" echoed in my head and I remembered that it is Austin's card
So Austin is a "CRUZ"
I thought to myself
"No wonder, he recognized my ringing tone and the songs I wrote in my diary
My likeness for him died down when I read further and found out that he is the CEO.
"Oh God, why am I always entangled with these kind of men"
"Why didn't I know from the first time that he is a CRUZ"
These where the thoughts in my mind before I slept off determined never to talk to Austin next time he calls
***************************
My alarm woke me up, I sleepily snoozed it
"Oh its Monday morning, work calls"
I jumped off my bed with a strength that amazed me.
I went about doing my morning ritual
I prayed, warmed my food and straight to the bathroom where I brushed my teeth and took my bath.
I stretched my hand to collect my toothbrush but on seeing two brushes I thought of Lizzy
She has not been home since last night
I made up my mind to call her on my way to work
Maybe she had late night stuff to handle
I finished preparing for work by 7:30 am,
I spent most of the time in front of the mirror adjusting and readjusting my makeup and outfit
I smiled in satisfaction to my reflection
I stepped out and locked my door
*******************
The drive to work was stress free
I texted Frank about Lizzy's disappearance
He replied immediately
"Don't worry your little head dear, she is a gown up lady and can take care of herself"
"She will definitely come back tomorrow" He replied
The reply somehow calmed my nerves and
**************
I walked with confidence to my office
I was going through some files needed for my promotion when a message came into my phone
I ignored it at first but curiosity took over me
"Maybe Lizzy is finally back" I thought
I read the message
"Can I see you after work today, reply back please"
"Mmmmmm, Austin again"
I replied immediately with a big " NO"
He replied back which made me to tremble
"Am with your diary, come to take it ASAP or I burn it"
I dropped my phone in horror
******************
Mmmmm, I smell trouble
Our Lizzy is missing
Austin is with our diary
Let's go on shaaa and see what will come out of it
