Melancholy...

Chapter 39

Today was Day 3 of trying to get as much evidence as possible. Yesterday,which was day 2,was a failure for I was unable to get any evidence whatsoever. However today was Saturday,meaning I was going to be cleaning rooms and this gave me faith that I would find something. My main aim at the moment was to get Daniella's number and my starting point was Aliyah's room.

I filled the green mop bucket with water and put some detergents in it. Aliyah had said something about how greasy her room was a few days ago, so my plan was to go her room and tell her I was going to mop there. Because I was mopping she would have to go out and this will give me the perfect opportunity to go through her things. I climbed the stairs and knocked on her door.

I announced my presence when she asked who it was and she told me to come in.
"Good morning Aliyah. I'm coming to mop and clean the bathrooms. I hope you are fine by the way." I said as I took a few clothes from the floor and damped them in the laundry basket.
She answered with a nod and I went into her bathroom. I started by cleaning the place. Once in a while I would peep through the door to see if she was there and for some 8 minutes that I was in her bathroom,she lay on the bed. 

After I had cleaned her bathroom I went into her room and told her that I was going to mop.
"Okay." She said as she left her room. I did a quick fist pump and began to search around the room immediately.  She had taken her phone with her so this meant that I had to look for a diary of something in which I could possibly find the number.

I searched in her wardrobe and found nothing. I then searched in the drawers. There were a lot of stuff there. Makeup,gum,sweets,perfume and random papers. I was starting to get frustrated as time was moving and I knew from experience that she would come back soon. I decided to quickly mop the room before continuing with my search,so that she won't be suspicious if she came back to meet an unmopped room.

After quickly mopping the room,I resumed with me search. The drawers seemed to have no hope of having a dairy or something so I decided to move to her study table. There were a lot of books on this table too,so I found it difficult to look through the things on the table. There was nothing here too.

At this moment I was beyond frustrated but I didn't want to give up. Just as I was about to look through a few books on the corner of the table,something caught my eye.
Aliyah's charging I-pad. I grabbed it quickly and entered the password.

Don't ask me how I know it,I told you I'm 'close' to Aliyah.

I went through her contacts quickly and found what I was looking for.
"Big Sis💕💕"
The name read. I tore a piece of paper from a book and quickly wrote down the number. Just as I was double checking to make sure that what I had written was correct,I heard the door to the room open.

Quickly,I placed the iPad where I had found it and placed the paper in my pocket.
"What are you doing?" Aliyah asked as she stared at me suspiciously.
"Oh nothing. I was just picking some papers from the floor." I replied as I moved across the room to take the mop bucket.
"I'm leaving now." I said as I went out of the room quickly,closing the door.
I checked to see if the paper was there and smiled brightly.
