Was it suicide?

Chapter 4-It's him..!!!

"I am sorry ma'am but I cannot let you in without the letter." The security personnel pulled out his poker face. 

"WHAT THE FUDGE!" Anna said to herself. "What is wrong with you Ann. You were so busy with imagining your 'Perfect first day' that you forgot to keep the documents that were required to make it so. Ahhh, Mom would be so mad at me. Should I call dad?" She couldn't think of a way out of this situation. 

"Good Morning Mark." a mellow voice called from a distance. 

"Good Morning Sir." a welcoming smile appeared on the guard's face. 

"Mark, That's a nice name. Mark please help me out. I don't want to go back now. I promise I will bring and show you the letter tomorrow." Anna looked at Mark, a pleading look in her eyes, and hoped that he got her telepathic message. 

"Hey Anna! It's good to see you here." someone said cheerfully, capturing Anna's attention. 

"Wait. Is that?" She turned around and saw a fairly tall man, dressed up in formal wear, waiting for her to recognize him. 

"Hey Todd! It's nice to see you too." She replied in a restless tone. 

Todd Barnes, is a good-old friend, four years older in age and also an ex-neighbour of her. He used to tease her like a friend and support her like an elder brother. He often helped Anna in her assignments and in return, had asked her to write love letters for him. Later, Todd moved out, from his parent's house, to live independently while Anna entered college. 

"Is everything alright?" his voice was filled with concern. 

"No, not actually." She averted her eyes. 

"As expected from Anna" he giggled. 

"Can we please not do this right now" Anna was too annoyed by the time. 

"Oh okay..tell me... What is it?" He enquired while suppressing his desire to laugh. 

"Today is my first day and I forgot to bring my appointment letter," she scratched her neck. 

"Gosh!!!! How can you forget something so important Ann..." He frowned. 

"Yeah..that was so helpful of you Todd. I am glad." She crossed her arms in front of her chest as she was in a no-nonsense mood now. 

The frowned expressions on Todd's face deformed and he started laughing. "You are still the same Ann.." he pinched her nose lightly.

"And that still hurts " she complained while rubbing her nose.

He was still giggling at her. "Don't worry "he mumbled and turned to the security personnel, who was busy watching the show. "Mr. Steven" he called firmly. 

"Yes Sir"

"Please make an entry for her in my name and give her the visitor's pass for today. She will show you the letter tomorrow." 

"Okay Sir" he nodded and went to get the pass. 

"Happy now?" He lifted one of his eyebrows, giving a self-satisfied smirk.  

"VERY" she grinned from eye-to-eye. 

"Good. Follow me now." He started walking. "Hey wait! My pass" she shouted but he didn't stop. She went to the security personnel to collect her pass. "Thank You" she bowed and ran to catch up with him.

"Thank you, Teddy. I was really worried about this". She use to call him Teddy whenever she was happy with him. 

"Don't mention that" he gave her a reassuring smile.
