Alex.

2:00

I stood up immediately taking my files and my document and walked down the lobby towards  kara's I had promised a lunch with Ara after so much pusuation to which she finally agreed. Factually I was still in awe at her refusal to talk to any one about what was bothering and happening to her,she seemed off and had closed the door from the outside world. I think she is in real pain and have being avoiding everyone I hope she will open up to me.

Hello Ms Alex.” Gwen waved at me when I passed through her office and I returned her greeting with a smile.Gwen was my second best friend after Ara she had being and  acts the most nicest to me,she was my senior at the office actually a year senior before I came in but she was the most  nicest and  Kindest others taunts me for the colour of my skin and how curly my hair looked  almost everyday.she'd tell me sometime ago she loved and cherished the colour of my skin and even whished to have her hair as curly and shiny as mine.

“Going somewhere Alex..she asked looking down at  the files on my hand.

“yeah  I have a launch date with Araya.”she nods slightly in understanding and made an okay gesture.she knew who Ara ya was as Ara ya had visited the office almost every single day before disappearance.

“Haven't seen her come around...hope she is alright.”

Yeah! she is fine. I replied immediately and added you are welcomed to join if you want to.”

“No thank you but I think you two really needs this discussion. She sound off and continued on the job to which I found her earlier and I strolled down the office towards the restaurant.

Its being an hour  I got here and I haven't caught the slight cite of araya yet, I felt like she wouldn't be here but held my faith stronger Araya isn't one to stand someone up,I knew and believed she will come.

“ms Alex,you are here.” the waiter mr jones remarked immediately I came into the restaurant. He lead me to the closest seats to the window but my favorite and I practically sat down feeling a slight stirr in within  emotions.

“What will you be having today,I recommend our silk strawberry pie with smoothie your favorite.

“Okay  I will have it, but can you also add bacon and egg grilled cheese and baked brie pancakes,”i pursed and added am having a friend come over,”

The waiters arrived a few moments later with a tray containing my dessert and Ara ya's favorites dishes and I watched him serve with slight smile,he was quite a careful man and his actions was done great gusto.the infamous  silk pie and Ara's favorite sat in front of me  in all its delicious glory and I picked up my phone.“thank you I remaked and nodded and walked away  leaving me all alone while I waited for my best friend ara.

I glanced down  at my watch impatiently for the upteenth time tonight and repressed the urge of reaching my phone and failing her number again I called already she'd be here soon.

“Alex..!”

i looked up and my eyes meet those of Ara's she wore a silk sun dress and judging from the sun glasses and how pale she was looking,I knew in an instant she had being crying for days.

“Ara,..”i muttered softly as I got up from the chair.my eyes lit up in excitement finding out she hadn't stood me up.

“Yeah I did alex.”she blubbed. I drew closer to her and threw my arms around her feeling the soreness of her voice.

her eyes moved curiously at the set table and back at me she mubbled something under her breath and pulled away from the hug.“are you okay Ara what is wrong? She stared down at the plates of food disquieting and I took that she wasn't ready to talk about it.
