chapter 1:- disappear

My aunt was yelling downstairs, I have never heard her yell before, went down stair out of curiosity .

" aunty ruby , what happened " I asked slowly proceeding downwards .

" no-no thing " she said

" how have you're injury been and why are you comin-"

"Aunt don't change the topic " I said looking at her , after a while she finally spoke

" kris....her body disappeared "

" what , disappeared " I for once thought I misheard it

" kris's body had disappeared over night"

How her body......

Her body was in the place where dead bodies are kept in freezing compartments,which was heavily gaurded .

" what !" I said and suddenly I lost balance and fell on the stair , sitting their in silence , tears running down my cheeks .

They cant even let her body rest in peace .

That was my last chance to say good bye to her which I couldn't say last time .

I regret not wanting to see her again at the police station .

We were again called by the police again,

When we went there , they called us for signing few papers. She asked me to be outside , even when I asked to come in .

After few minutes , a voice sharp as a knife , came yelling , even from outside I could hear whatever my aunt said .

" sir , how can my sisters body disappeared over night and you're here doing absolutely nothing!!!" She yelled , lord I have not heard her yell like this ever .

" mam we are doing every thing we could ,but still we couldn't find anything , you need not to shout here ,

We will do what we can to find you're sisters body "

My aunt scowled and , again things went silent . she came out and went near her car , i followed her a sat on my seat plugging my seat belt in .

" did you sign it " I asked

" of course I did " she said getting in her seat and checking all the mirrors .

" so what happened " she sighed

" they said , her body just disappeared over night and there was nothing caught on cameras either . "

" you were yelling "I said

" am I not a good yeller " she said jokingly

"Hmm"

" hmmm, is all you're reply . no wonder sarah can't never ask you out ." she said the last sentence under her breath

" what "

" nothing " she said rolling her eyes.

Its been few days , to be exact 2 and there still no result about my mothers body .

The killer didnt just kill her , he also took her body so there could be no clues of his murder .

My nightmares are getting worse, each time I would see something more nerve racking than yesterday , today I saw aunt ruby dying just how my mother died . those were the days I couldn't help but cry .

I felt even more worse seeing aunt smiling through pain . sarah helped a bit but she too cried once in a while .

'Knock knock '

" come in " I said , and my aunt came in with a tray of fruits and sat on the corner of my bed keeping the tray on the bed .

" thanks " I said and she said peeling an orange

" what have you thought about going to a university or college "

" what! Why?"

" nothing , I mean you are 19 now and you're quite smart-"

" I don't think so , I think i should look for a job or something "

" what- no , you are young first you need education and-"

" but what about the money , universities are pretty expensive "

" leave that to me , it was you're mother's wish for you to have a good future And education "

" but "

" no buts "

" aunty , you can't handle this alone , I feel like i-i am burden to you "

She looked at me with low eyes vn And I added

" I don't want to do any More than what I have already caused you enough-"

I burst out crying

" i can't see you do all this work and smile through pain just for me "

" I can't - " she hugged me and Said

" you will never be a burden " she patted me on the back , after few minutes , I stopped crying .

I was meeting sarah the next day . she have been asking me to meet a lot recently and cheering me up , buying me food and asking for ice cream in return .

" hey " I Said waving to Sarah . she waved back at me , standing near a café which just opened recently .

" shall we go in , I have been here once , and there coffee is amazing "

She said and we walked in , it was wooden café and smelled of rosemary .

We took a seat near the window where we could see the outside clearly and a waiter came to us

" any orders "

" macha tea for me " she said and I nodded

" macha tea and for you sir " said the waiter

" iced coffee " he nodded and went to the counter .

I was looking out side when she said

" looks like you're not interested in dates " she said , which caught me off guard

" this is a date " I asked

" of course , I have been trying to find opportunities over opportunities but now I know why they said no one can ever ask you out " she grinned , I leaned on the table , keeping my elbow for support and rested my head on my left hand and said

" what else do they said about me " she smirked and said

" the guy with blank face and what not "

" and I remember myself being also called handsome "

" for that , you are " she blushed and our orders were served .

" enjoy " .

I took a sip and looked at her already looking at me .

" do you remember our firsts meeting "

She said

" of course, you were crying you're eyes out about you parents and I just listened to you speak "

" yes , I remember my day worse than expected and no one listening , and you a complete strange did ." she looked down.

I sighed looking up

" you looked pretty......ugly-" she lightly pushed my shoulder , smiling

" with all you're make up smudged . I remember the first thought thinking ,

'Should I run or should I run faster ' "

She again hit lightly on the hand saying

" stop teasing me "

" I wasn't , I just said what I thought " she hit me harder .

Sarah , when we met few years ago , she was crying while her makeup was all smudged up And she looked at firsts glance tired And frustrated , crying because her parents divorced and her mother did suicide just after 1 week of divorce. I did liked Sarah, she was the social butterfly of our class back then but after we became friends things became More complicated than before .

Now I can relate to her . crying  , over thinking , sad. were the  only word which could describe me.

I went home , after a pleasant day after nearly a week . I didn't wanted to feel happy , thinking how my mom just died and here I am enjoying .

When I went home, my aunt was nowhere to be found and terror and panic washed over my body thinking my dream had come true, I ran through the whole house when I heard the door open and I grabbed the nearest object I could find to hit someone.
