CHAPTER TWO

I was standing in a house. My robe look loose.

"Where am I? " I looked around. "Oh no. Chris! " I shouted. Then I heard some footsteps. Someone's coming.

"You're awake ". It was a woman voice. She looks so young. I'm sure I'm quite older than her.

"Who're you and how did I got here? " I asked. She was already in front of me.

"Sit". She sat me down. "Actually ". She sat beside me. "I saw you lying unconscious outside. I thought you were dead. I just called the ambulance 🚑. I should called then back ".

"Where am I? "

"California ". I was shocked. Just where the fucking place is California? I stood up suddenly.

"Oh no. What have I done? "

"Are you okay? "

"I'm sure you can understand me. I'm Ziesha. I live in CN and I'm not sure on how I got here. Look, I'm getting married in two weeks time and I don't........ Oh no Chris. He should be expecting me".

"Calm down". She sat me down. "I get you but...... I think I really need to call a doctor ". She made for her cellphone 📱. I was so surprised because in CN, all you just need to do is to say the dude name and he's gonna answer.

I just couldn't believe my eyes. Cars were walking on land. I was in the hospital.

"She's fine. Little young to have memory loss ". Is this dude calling me young?

"I'm older than you and just what the hell are you talking about. Where the hell am I!!! Oh lord. I wanna go back home ". I cried.

"She's fine. Really ". The doctor said.

"Here's your room ". She opened a door of a room. It was beautiful but my room is far more better."If you need anything, just ring the bell 🔔 and the maids will answer you ".

"Maids?" I asked.

"All you've to do is ring the bell ". She smiled "I've things to attend to ". And left. I entered the room and heaved a sigh of loneliness. I sat on the bed and stared. For the first time, I missed Chris so much. Not that I don't missed him but this one is special. I took the pillow and cling onto it. "Mom. Dad. Chris. I'm scared ". All that followed were tears.

"I'm a fast learner ". I said to the maids. I was getting use to it since it's been a month since I've been here. "So what should I add in next?"

"Seasoning. Here". She hand me a plate full of it.

"Thanks ". I took it and poured it into the boiling soup. I was actually preparing it for Theresa. She looks tired this days. I could hear her car drive in. "She's here". I smiled .

"I'm sure she will be happy seeing you doing all this for her ". The maid smiled.

"I'll go meet her". I left. The door 🚪 opened and she was looking tired than ever. "Are you alright? "

"Get your stuffs. We're going to Australia "

"Now? " She sank into the chair and nodded. "But why? Is it something important?"

"I just don't want to leave you here cause I'll be staying there for at least five ".

"Five.... Oh. Now I see".

"What's smelling nice? " Then a smile lot my face.

"I'm making you dinner".

"Really? I thought you couldn't cook".

"I'm a fast learner ".

"Pity that we don't have much time left. Just get some few things and we'll do the rest over there".

"Ok". I left. There was really nothing to take. Just my diary and my favorite book. I was all set to go.

"Esha". That's my short name. Theresa called.

"Coming ". I took my bag and left.

"Let's go ". We left.

I kinda knew Australia. Chris and I often visit it but this wasn't the view. It was rainy season in Australia. After long hours of riding, we arrived at our destination. It was a really big house but it wasn't the one we were to lodged into. The gate opened and we drive in. The houses in it were magnificent. I wonder if it's some kind of hotel. Finally, we were there. But this was huge and beautiful than the others. I didn't say anything. The guards opened the door for us and we got down. Was I just treated like a First Class. Chris has always been the one to open the door for me but that wasn't necessary cause I could just tell it to open.

"Where's he? " Theresa asked the guards.

"In his room ma'am "

"Take the bags inside and Esha ". She faced me. "Let's go ". I followed like a dog obeying it master surveying the surrounding. The big door was opened and the made bowed down. We entered the elevator and Theresa press the 12th floor button. Then the door opened to a big and furnished sitting room. The guards and maids bowed as we stepped in.

"You can sit here. I'll be right back"

"Sure". She left and I sat. I watched everywhere then didn't know when I start to talk to myself. "Is this her fiance house? I don't think so. Maybe one of her clients ".

"You can't do this ". Theresa was coming out. I got up.

"Oh yes I'm". The was a guy at her back.

"Please. I swear I won't sneak out".

"That won't change my mind. Do you know what I sacrificed just to be with you? "

"I...... I'm sorry".

"I'm just doing this to protect you. Remember mom entrusted you to me before she died". She walk toward me.

"Who's she? " He asked.

"Here name is Ziesha. She's staying here".

"What? You didn't told me any of that".

"And I'm doing so". I stare at him. Oh my. Then my heart started to fluter. What the hell is wrong with me. My heart ♥ couldn't stop smiling at this tall handsome guy in front of me.
