Finding Them [ON HOLD]

Chapter-7

Ira's POV

I woke up early today to go out with my mom. Yesterday, after dinner, we made a plan: first, we will go shopping for school supplies, then, we’ll have lunch at a restaurant and finally, we will go clothes shopping before coming back home.

I got up from bed, took a shower, got ready, and went downstairs fast, before my mom could yell at me. I noticed her sitting on the couch happily with her purse in her hand. I think Ray was right. We should spend more time together, my mom and I.

"Ready, sweetie? Let's go!" said Mom with a cheeky smile as she walked to the garage.

"Ok, let's go," I said as I followed her.

"Do you want to play some music?" my mom asked, connecting her phone to the car speaker.

“Oh no,” I thought to myself. “She's gonna play one of those old classical songs again.”

"Mom, can you play something which is not classical?" I asked her.

"Yeah, sure! Ok, I used to love this song. I don't know if you remember, but I used to play this around you all the time when you were young!!" she said as she searched for something and started playing the song.

“Oh wait. I think I have heard this before. Wow, this brings back so many memories!” I thought as I started jamming to the song as well.

The song ended, but we kept playing it until we reached the mall.

"That was so fun!" I said loudly.

"I know, right?" Mom said as she turned off the song.

"Let's go!" she said, stepping out.

"Oh yeah!" I said. I stepped out too.

My mom locked the car and we walked inside to the store from where we tend to buy our things.

Ira's POV

After looking and deciding what to buy, and then buying it, we got to the restaurant.

"Okay! So what do you want to get, sweetie?" my mom asked me, placing the menu on the table after taking a look at it.

"Uhm, I'll have some pasta!" I said.

"Okay," Mom said as she ordered our food.

"What actually happened when Rose left?" I asked Mom, but she flinched a little at the sudden question. I guess I won't get the answer this time either.

"I think you're old enough for this now," Mom said with a sigh.

No way! She's going to tell me about why she left?

"Okay," I said, a little surprised.

No One's POV (past)

It was summer vacation for all the high schoolers in the city. The weather was a bit humid, with wind blowing. Both parents were worried sick about their daughter, who had been out for 3 hours past her curfew. She was not picking up her phone either.
