“No, she didn’t call me. Neither did I. Fuck! I told you so many times, En, she wasn’t at fault. You had to tell her about Zelena and her finding out isn’t a bad thing.” I groaned, not knowing how to wrap my head around anything anymore.
Â
“I’m grabbing the keys and looking in the streets. Even you do that and let me know.”
Â
“Yes, I will.” I dropped the call, rushing out of the house. Connor was on his feet as soon as I was going into my car.
Â
“What happened sir?” he was one of the drivers since my father's time and to whom I had given the responsibility to drive around Lilah.
Â
I swallowed, “Lilah isn’t at home. I don’t know where is she. Did you drop her anywhere?”
Â
“I did that in the morning when she wanted to visit you. I asked her if I had to stay but she said that she didn’t want me to wait for her and she maybe would be going back with you.”
Â
Fuck! Fuck!
Â
I closed my eyes, anxiety rising inside me in full force. I just hope she was safe, wherever she was. I was willing to apologize to her as many times as needed, as long as she was safe and sound and close to me. “Thanks, Connor.”
Â
I ignited the engine and drove away on the road.
Â
••••••••••
Â
It was past night, and I couldn’t find her. Steven called me twice and even his answer was disappointing. Where could she go? Her clothes were still in my closet. Her guitar and all her books.
Â
Did she leave away everything and went somewhere?
Â
I couldn’t stop the pain inside me at the mere thought of that. I couldn’t lose her. Not when she was everything I had ever wanted. I run my hand through my hair, looked out of the car window, and found the street cold and empty. Except for the usual passers-by.
Â
Where could she be?
Â
I had driven through the entire street in our locality, the malls, and even the downtown, but couldn’t find her.
Â
Maybe I looked like a mess, but I didn’t bother when I stood out of the car and asked so many people about her, showing her picture. Her phone was switched off, and I couldn’t even look for her location.
Â
But everything is in vain.
Â
By the time I was on the road again, I had almost lost my any hope. The loud sound of crashing waves hit my ears, and I knew I was near the beach. I didn’t know what clicked inside me but something… something told me she might be here.
Â
The loud sound of the waves crashing on the shore numbed the loud beating of my heart. How I didn’t think of this place when I knew this was one of her favorite places. My mind envisioned the past, the first time I brought her here, the time we kissed on the sand, we laughed so carefreely, we splashed water at each other. But I ruined everything.
Â
My fear, my delusional belief in protecting my sister's life story, and my wrong notion that Lilah, would ever judge her and have any adverse opinion. How big fool I was? I let my fear, and insecurity drive me more, blinding all my sanity.
Â
When in reality, it should have been me who should have told about myself to her sooner. She deserved that when she had confided in me about all her past. I felt like a loser and a fucker. But despite that, I was willing to try for her. To be better, to be someone not living in the past. To be someone worthy of her. And her love.
Â
I didn’t take more than a second to jump out of the car and run on the sand towards the sea beach. The cold sand brushed past my feet as I ran looking all around. The flickering light from the small stalls and the moonlight helped me to look around.
Â
Please be here. Please be here.
Â
I walked further more nearing the shore when I saw a familiar figure at a distance. She was sitting too close to the water, almost drowning her legs in them.
Â
It didn’t take me long to rush onto the sand and reach her. From the back, I could see the familiar honey color of her hair, the same bag she loved to carry everywhere, and the same yellow scarf.
Â
My heart thudded hard against my chest, as I called for her.
Â
“Lilah…”
