I watched my father's body taken away after everything and took whatever they found ,I sat there in a daze deep in thoughts
'Why dad? Why will you leave me in this cold and cruel world when you're the only blanket of warmth I ever had?.
Why is death so cruel, now I understand why death is been regarded as the cruelest,
My dad didn't suppose to die , he's a good man for God sake
How about me?I need that man in my life now ,later and forever.
Amanda and Sofia helped me got up and took me to my room. I laid down on the bed and continued my sorrowful cry,shedding tears to ease the pain in my heart which is unmeasurable.
I laid there without knowing when I slowly drifted to sleep from exhaustion.

Morning came by quickly unaware to the girl lying on her fluffy bed,sun rays pass through the curtains in the room and landed on her face making her squint her eyes feeling the discomfort, she immediately wake up checking the room she's in.
Suddenly memories of what transpired flooded back to her at that moment reminding her of her huge loss and God knows the turmoil she's gonna start facing from now on till the murderer is found.
'Wait. Why will I wait for them ,I can do it myself,it's my father so I will be more serious about it than them .I don't care how much dangerous this is am still gonna do it.
But how am I gonna start,I guess I will ask the workers then wait and get something from the reports'.
She got up to clean herself up,looking into the mirror in her bathroom, her face looked puff off with red swollen eyes.
'I must have cried all day ,who knows?' She thought to herself and shrugged.

I dressed up in blue skinny jeans,black sleeve shirt,a black booth and a black glass to cover my lifeless eyes.
Walking down the stairs I met my best friends
"Liyah. how are you feeling"
"Better" I answered Sofia's question, her brows creased in confusion seeing me heading outside
"Where are you going Aliyah" Amanda asked before Sofia could get a chance to ask
"Outside...just wanna see the guard and ask him some questions" I said to her not stopping
"Be careful" she yelled after me.
Immediately when I was outside I caught sight of the guard coming towards me, I looked at him in confusion but still waited for him to reach me
"Good morning miss" he greeted when he reached to me
"Morning, how you and work!" I asked him
"It's fine miss"
I raised a brow at him indicating why he approached me
"I want to issue you condolence ,am sorry about Boss,your dad ,but I swear no one came in after Mr. Yazeed left ,am sorry I was incompetent with my work.
"So yazeed was the last person that left the house" I cut his rambling off with a question
"Oh. yes miss"
I need to find yazeed he may know something maybe ,he should after all he's my dad's PA ,he's like his shadow
Why was he here?
I need to finish this mourning and look for my father's murderer. I won't stay here mourning wasting time that i could use and get to the murderer. I need to start an investigation.
