If I Never loved you

WHOSE ELEANOR?

    Maya was disheartened  and decided not to go to the company. She ate little, spoke little and at times it seems to be that she was on the brink of madness but hopefully Karen knew that her mom would come round and be herself again.
   Karen hid the divorce papers because it frightened her mom so much that it could cause her trauma.Karen herself needed a shoulder to lean on,  someone to share her problems with but alas he too had turned his back on her by choosing his new family.
       She needed someone to take care of her but she had to take care of herself and her mom looking at the state her father put her mom in.
  "...Ms.Carter?...,"Dana, their househelp called from her room door.
  "...It's your mom again...,"she said sounding so worried.
Karen opened the door and asked,"...What's wrong with mom?..."
  "...she's calling someone's name–she keeps mentioning a name..."
  "...What name?Dana please remember it..."
"...Something like Eleanor–Yes she said Eleanor..."
  "...Whose Eleanor?How come she has never mentioned her to me?..."
  "...I think she has something to do with your surgery eight years ago–I kinda overheard Mrs.Carter discussing that with her  sometime ago..."
Karen ranned downstairs to her mom and hugged her.
Maya pushed Karen hard and screamed
"...Where's Eleanor?, Eleanor,Eleanor..."
"...Mom whose Eleanor?!...,"Karen said as she tried to fight back her tears.
"...Where's my little sister, Oh Eleanor can you stop hiding , I miss you , let's stop playing hide and seek...,"her mom said as she frantically searched for Eleanor .

The only way I can find Eleanor is to start with mom's contacts, Karen thought to herself. She got up quickly and was frantically searching for her  mom's phone .
Maya rushed to hug Karen.
"..Oh Eleanor , alas I found you, where have you been you silly girl..."

KAREN'S POV
    Mom wasn't herself anymore , I never thought a breakup could make someone lose their sense of sanity.
Guys couldn't be trusted and I learnt this the tough way.
Eleanor seemed to be
someone close to mom and I was willing to find no matter what it takes.
    After a half an hour of persuasion, mom fell asleep.
I searched through mom's contact list and alas i found a contact with the name El.
  I didn't know if it was Eleanor but I decided to trust my instincts.
"... Hello...," A woman said as the call finally went through
"... Hello Ms. Eleanor...," Karen said as she crossed her fingers silently hoping that it was her.
"... Maya, Is that you? Seriously quit the jokes...," She said sounding very tensed.
"...Are you Ms.Eleanor?...," Karen asked to be sure that she was talking to the right person.
"...Maya,what are you saying of course I'm Eleanor..., "She said sounding slightly irritated.
" ...Well, I'm not Maya, I'm Karen, her daughter...,"Karen said with firmness in her voice .
"

...Oh dear, it has been more than five years. Good heavens you've grown real fast my girl...,"Eleanor said.
"... Well ma'am thats not why I called you , I called you because my mom needs you now..."
"...What happened to Maya?..."
"...I don't know but all I know is that she needs you...," Karen managed to say before she hanged up on Eleanor .

  Karen sanked into the sofa and gently rubbed her forehead and closed her eyes.She didn't know when she fell asleep but she was awoken by Dana who was frantically tapping her shoulder.
Karen rubbed her eyes and yawned
"... What now Dana?..."
"... Someone is here to see you..."
"... Eleanor?..."
"... Yes , I think so..."
"... Let her in then..., "Karen said as she tried to straighten her messy auburn hair.
Eleanor walked in , dressed in a fine silk blouse with a teal green pencil skirt and black heels originally designed by Taylor Cray , the finest heel maker in New York City. Her  auburn hair was uniquely styled to give her the serious CEO look to match with her red coloured lips. Around her neck was a nice pearl necklace laced with emerald jewels. She looked young but smart and  that made Karen's jaw drop.
"... H–Hello Ms. Eleanor...," Karen managed to say, slowly recovering from her state of shock .
"... Oh dear , you've grown so fast..."
"... Erhm–I guess , well mom just slept she called and searched for you the whole morning but she couldn't get to you..."
"... What happened to her?... "
"... Well long story , she and dad broke up and she hasn't been herself since then... "

The was a loud crashing sound of a glass from upstairs which drew their attention. They both went upstairs to check and they found Maya lying on the ground with blood oozing from her head.
  She had smashed her head with a glass vase on the shelf.
"... Andy come back!..," Maya mumbled
Both  the ladies stared at her looking horrified and Karen reached out for her phone in the pocket of her trousers and phoned the ambulance  .
"... Hello this is Karen Carter, I'm calling from Cherry Berry lane, House No. 307 , My mom needs help now..." She managed to say as she broke into tears and crawled towards her mom , holding her in her arms and hugging her closely .
