I Found a Girl

CHAPTER 46: Just in Time

"Jeorge, hurry up please." I am silently praying that she is there at the studio. The one that she made.

"On it Madam." Normally, I would scold my driver if I felt him speeding up, but this time its different. Once parked in front of the studio, I wasted no time and run to the glass door of the studio. The door is unlocked, my heart is pounding. I feel nervous.

I push the door open. The studios is all lit up, the photos are still here. Every second my hopes are high. Lisa is here. I told myself.

"Lisa!" I scan every corner of the room. Running around. I scream her name again and again. "Lisa! Are you in here?" Few moments, a figure wearing a black hoodie jacket stood in front of one of the photos. "Lisa?" But instead of Lisa, a man maybe between the ages of 20-30 years old look back at me and smiled. "Who are you? What are you doing in Lisa's studio?" The man look at me and then back at my photos hanging on the walls.

"Oh its you! You're beautiful in person." He walk towards my direction and my feet move backwards opposite to him.

"Stop right there." My voice full of authority.

"Oh, my bad. Sorry to scare you. I am Lim by the way. Short for Limario." Limario? He said offering a handshake. I look at his hand, he notice that I am not willing to do it and take his hand back.

"I said who are you and what are you doing here." He place his hands on his hoodie pocket and looked around the place.

"Me? I am on a vacation. My father told me to visit this place."

"How did you manage to open the penthouse?" I asked and called Jeorge not tearing my eyes away from him. Seconds later, Jeorge came in with a gun on his hand.

"Wait hold up. I am not going to do anything bad. My father told me to go there and say my name. The woman gave me the keys and I do a little cleaning inside the house." He said while eyeing Jeorge.

"Where's Lisa?"

"I don't know about her. I swear!" His hands trembled inside his pockets.

"Does your father know about her?" He shrug his head, looking terrified. I ordered Jeorge to watch out this Limario. If his father knows about the key word, then he must know about Lisa.

"My father and I lived alone the province. I never saw him talk to anyone. He barely leaves the house." He added.

Then who? Who will gives his father the authority to go here and into the penthouse. If Lisa and Jocelyn are the only ones who know about the keyword, I am sure Lisa said it to another man. Which happens, well maybe, to be the father of this Limario.

Lisa is here. She is alive I know.

As I pace the room, I notice a small note hidden behind the picture of me under a cherry tree. As I open the paper, a small handwriting is visible on it.

Answers are written from the very beginning.

What?? Beginning of what?

Think Jennie. You love analysis right? You got this. Maybe I should check the very first photo. I run back at the entrance and check the first photo. I unhang it and check every corner of it. But nothing. Which beginning? What beginning?

This is frustrating. I check all the photos inside the studio but I can't find any answers. Heck, I don't even know the question in the first place. How will I search for answers? Damn it!

Later on, Jeorge went back inside the studio handling me a bottled water. It's already 5:30 pm and I still don't have the answer to the question that I don't know. I mouthed thanks to him and continued thinking about the note.
