Like the Sand

~ROUGH DAYS~

Everything was going great, it's been a year since Elia and I started dating and I managed to convince my parents to accept her.

They didn't want to give her a chance at first but when they found out the kind of person she is, they loved her, just like their own daughter.

My mom even offered to give her a shop, so she could start her own bakery, since Elia was really passionate about baking .

Elia quit her job and pursued her passion for baking,her bakery "HONEY HUT" became well known by everybody both young and hold.

Life seemed perfect until things start going down hill, Elia became sick. She had to stay at the hospital for a month, the doctor in charge said there was nothing wrong with her.

It wasn't my field of study so I couldn't check on her myself. She got discharged from the hospital and she continued with her business but she was always weak and coughing every minute.

She decided to put one of her trusted staff in charge and she stayed at home, I'd come home early and take care of her.

I took her to different hospitals but the doctors said the same thing. My dad decided to call one of his friends that was a doctor and he was willing to help.

Elia was looking pale and her once chubby self was now skinny. On the day, my dad's friend was supposed to arrive, Elia went missing.

Everything turned upside down, I was worried! Where could she be? Was she kidnapped? Did she just leave?

I knew that she wouldn't leave me like that, she loved me and she knows that I love her too. I waited everyday for her to come back home, I even involved the police but nobody knew were she was.

My world stopped when Elia left, everyone's effort to bring me back was in vain. I stopped going to work, I stayed at home, ate little or no food.

I wanted to know how she was doing, if she had eaten, if she had a place to stay, I just wanted to see her. I wanted to hold her, I wanted to her laugh, I missed her scolding me, everything was dead without her.

My Elia was gone, the only person that meant the whole world to me was gone.

This chapter is shorter than usual, Elia left :-(
I feel so bad for Dave, not knowing the whereabouts of someone you love hurts. This isn't the worst people brace yourself for more, two chapters remaining!
