***PENELOPE’S P.O.V*** As the plane landed, I just felt that something was there that was calling me, and I just don’t know what it was. I looked at my sister Myra and then smiled at her. “What happened? You seem upset?” She asked me. I smiled at her and said “No, not at all, it’s just that, I don’t know about this place even if I have come here before, so just.” She put a hand on my shoulder and then said “Relax babe, I am here with you and mom and Dad and Pearl. You know what. They are all just gonna come for us to pick us up and don’t you worry, my stupid girl did”. She said, and then we both made our way to the outside. “Penelope, I missed you so much my dear.” Mom said as she arrived and then just hugged me. I smiled at her as I saw her. “I missed you too mom.” She had tears in her eyes and then she looked at me. “Look how thin you have become now, my dear. Don’t worry, now you are home. I will make sure that you will eat good food and gain some weight.” “Mom it’s not called, thin it’s called zero figure and she is slaying on it.” Myra said she is just like a saviour I don’t know how I would have been handling myself if this would be happening I just don’t know After losing my memory, this had all happened. “Okay, okay miss, I missed you both, okay. And let me tell you one thing. I am very happy that you both are back home.” I smiled at them, then we made our way home. I just don’t know what I am or what I am going to do, but the only thing that I know is that this place just feels like there is just something that is there. I just don’t know. I have no idea why, why. I just feel that there is someone there that has been waiting for me. “Here we are,” Myra said. I looked at the house and then I got out of the car. “Come.” I entered the house. I looked around and then I went inside. “So now you both go and have some rest, then we will talk.” I smiled at them and then made my way to my room. I changed and then looked around. I lay down on the bed after taking a long bath. I was just resting when I felt cold air. What is it? I got up and then saw that the windows were open. When I got inside, they were not open. How come it is open now? I went there and then closed it. It might have been opened open if I hadn’t noticed back then. As I was not feeling like sleeping, so then I made my way out of the door, I was about to say go to Mom and Pearl when I heard them talking “I am scared of something happening,” Mom said. I know that overhearing someone’s talk is just not correct. But I just have to do it. I know there is something that everyone is hiding from me. “Mom, why are you under so much stress? Devin is gone. Now no one has seen him in the past months. Nothing is going to happen to her.” Who is Devin? What are they talking about? “That is the thing that’s scaring me more and more. He is not here, but what if they? If we do something to her, then we will lose her. I told you that I am not in favour of this. She would not have come back. I am so worried.” “Pearl, just because of that fear, we can’t let her be away from her own house, mom, she needs her family, mom.” “It is my concern that she does needs her family need, but by this we are risking her. I don’t want to let anything happen to my daughter.” What will happen to me and why will it happen to me? I just don’t understand that. “Mom, listen, please just don’t get a lot of stress, mom, please, and do trust me this mom that nothing is gonna happen to her.” She nodded at mom Pearl. What are they talking about? I just have no idea about it. “Look, Pearl, I understand your point, but Penelope, she doesn’t remember anything, not even a single thing, and here we are acting like all things are just gonna be great when it is not gonna be like that.” I know that I have lost my memory, but still I just don’t get this how come things will be okay. I just don’t know about that. I just pray from god that I will remember it all. Mom is so scared that I am here. Because of that, she has worried it’s not even been a day since I came here. Then I composed myself and then made my way towards them. “Hey mom, Hi Pearl, what are you doing?” I asked, and then sat next to them. “We are great, so you had a great sleep.” I nodded at them. “Yes, I just woke up and I had no idea what to do. I mean, I am just getting bored.” “Ohh about that. Tomorrow we will go for your university admission. Then you just have to get stuck with us. That’s all that I can say right now.” I smiled at them. Now I want to do it all that it is. “It’s not stuck. I am happy that I am back home.” “Yeah, yeah, keep on buttering. You know what mom. I am not happy. I was so happy being there but Dad wanted us here, so he just.” “Cause I was missing you both said I was worried about you both.” Dad went and then said to me. I smiled at him. “Yes Dad, I was also missing you all.” I smiled at them. We were all just sitting and talking. The night just passed in a snap. Then, after dinner, I made my way to my room. Myra came with me. “Hey sweetheart, are you not feeling bored?” “No I am not feeling bored, I like that we are home.” “Ohhh Penelope why are you like that of a nice daughter? hmmm I just can’t do this. I am missing Paris a lot.” I smiled at her, then we both went inside my room. “Hey tell me, are you not missing Paris at all? I mean we were there for 8 months?” “No, I wanted to come home and I am glad that I am back go home. I am happy because of that.” “God Penelope, why are you so boring? I mean I thought that at least you would be saying that, yes, I am missing it a lot. I wanted to be there but I was not sorry. What can we do to go back? Hey, what are you thinking?” I came out of my thoughts. “Umm nothing, why?” “Penelope, you are my sister. I know how you are and what you think. I know that you always think about why you don’t remember anything at all, why this happened but, baby, sometimes it might be good. I mean I also wanted to forget stuff but just can’t.” I smiled at her but it just didn’t make me feel that it was just alright. I mean I wanted this. I wanted my family, but no, I don’t remember anything. I just know that I was in an orphanage. Then I don’t know what life is. After that, what happened? How did I meet Mom? After Dad I just have no idea about it. Everyone is scared and I am also, but at least they know what stuff they are about. “She is stupid.” As I heard mom’s voice, I looked at her. She came and then sat next to me. “Look, I know what you must be thinking, that's why you don’t remember anything at all. I know what it must make you feel like. Why don't you remember anything at all? What is the case? What is the scene? Just think about it. You have a new page now and you can start work on that new page.” I smiled at her. She is right. I should be doing that. There might be something that we should just let go of and that is what I should be doing now. I should just let go of what happened because I just don’t know what has happened in the past. I have no idea about that. “You are right mom. I should just let it go, cause the more I make myself stick to it, the more I am gonna get hurt. I will not let that happen mom.” “Good girl, now you both should sleep. Should we go for university admission tomorrow?” “Bye mom, good night.” Myra said, and then, lay down next to me. “What are you looking at? I am sleeping here today.” I looked at her in confusion. Myra is gonna sleep with me today. I lay down in bed and then fell asleep. I woke up late with an unfamiliar voice. I opened my eyes and I saw Myra and Blair standing there. They were both talking to each other when I got I got up and sat down. The bed “Good morning guys.” I said to them. He looked at me and then went and sat on the bed. “Hello Penelope, how are you?” I smiled at him. I just don’t know what else to say or what else to do. I don’t even know Gina. He just acts like there is for sure something for something for sure. “So how are you? I hope that you are enjoying being here.” I nodded at him. “Definitely she is doing it, but I sometimes feel that I am enjoying myself back in Paris. Then why the hell am I here? I should be there only,” Myra said. Meanwhile, I just got up from bed and then went inside the washroom. I did my morning routine, went to Bath and then went out. “Penelope worried I actually should not have brought him here, but I didn’t think much about that if I had. But then this would not have happened.” I smiled at him. I am not angry with her for anything relationship I am just an absolutely fine relationship, I am just completely fine. I know that I might be having a bad relationship or something, but now I am good. “Look Myra, I don’t even know what has happened, it’s just that I always get this feeling from him that he doesn’t want me to be around. He doesn’t like it. I always get that vibe from him.” “Ohh babe trust me that is just not the thing, it is just, that is okay, I will tell you the truth. The point is that you both are dating each other at a particular time and then you just left him for some other guy, so he had that hard thing that you ditched him for some other person, but everything is good.” I was dating him. I was not aware of the way he was behaving towards me and the way he was uncomfortable with me. I was just thinking that he might have some problem with me. How could I have so dammit waited but if I left him and I was telling someone else, then I looked at Myra with a question in my eyes and then I said. “Okay okay, I completely got it that I was dating him, but then I just left my daughter. He is so hot and he has had this tough spot for me and you don’t like to be around me, but I do have a question on your mind and I hope that you will be able to answer what I do. I am thinking and you are just the only one who can help me with that.” I just hope that Myra will tell me the truth about whatever I am thinking, because every single time I was asking something from any member of this family, they would have been lying or they would have just been acting like they would have nothing happened in the past from that date on. I know that they will have something. “Go ahead, whatever you want to know. I will tell you because I am a great sister. OK. I don’t worry about it because I am going to tell you everything, but I hope that you are not going to ask me something that I will not be able to answer.” She said, then I smiled at her, Myra, I just. please just help me with this. I want this very badly. I want things to just become as I want them to become. I just want that very badly. I took a deep breath and then said, “ Myra, I left him. I mean you just told me that I was dating him but then I just left him for some other guy. I just didn’t get that. Could you please just tell me who he was for whom I left him and as I was looking at him I can just tell you that he’s a very very close member of this family, then what was the same why I left him. Why did I do that or, I say, for whom I did that stuff?” She did not say anything, not even a single word, because of a need just to say something. I just want to know the truth and I know that you can, only. You are the only one. Okay, tell me the truth. Just just say something. I know that is definitely something your silence is telling me, that there is something that you are all hiding from me. You are the mind that I was dating and are all are are all afraid of not telling me. “Tell me, Myra, who he was and why you are acting like that. Is everything alright?” “Penelope, my dear sister, I don’t think that you both should be wasting time. I think that now you should both just focus on your studies. I want both of you to just go and get done with university.” Pearl came out of the blue here I was just trying to ask her when she damned it. There is just no way. Now I am getting that, as she said it, we both made our way out of the room when Pearl said “Penelope, this place holds a lot of stories and, as far as I know, you should just ignore them, because, the more you get involved in the stories, the more it is going to get complicated and your life is going to get very, very messed up and, as you are, my sister has just want to tell you one thing that don’t do this what had happened just let it be in the past it’s better that way.” I nodded to her and asked why everyone wanted me to be away from my past. Why, what the hell is it and what is just wrong with it? I took a deep breath and then I went downstairs. We went to college with mom and Dad. We were just. During our admissions, I bumped into a man. He looked at me “Hey sorry.” I said, as I am the clumsy one. He didn’t say anything. He just left. I just don’t get it. Why did he ignore me and then left leave? “So girls, it’s done from Monday, you will be having your college done, girls.” Dad said then we were about to make our way when Dad got a call and mom and Dad went there. Chris went to Myra’s friend and we sat in his car as he was also there for his admission. “So, Penelope, have you visited the forest area yet?” I looked at him with a question in my eyes about the forest area, but what is it there to go there for. I just don’t get that. “But why is there something special that I was just asking you casually?” “Ohh casually. Also, wait Chris, you take another route.” “Yes, because that route is blocked. See the news.” He showed the news that the accident happened. I can clearly see the tension in Myra’s face. What is it that’s making her get so scared? I just want to know if there is something that she is not telling. We were just going when the car suddenly stopped. We got out of the car and then saw that the engine was burning. It’s too hot. “We do need a mechanic. We will go and get one.” “Wait, I will also come with you. Penelope, stay here. Okay, we will be back soon.” I nodded at them. “Yeah, I will just be here soon.” TO BE CONTINUED….
