Where Have You Gone

Chapter 9️⃣

Becky was very well aware of what she should face after reaching home. She has prepared herself for the trolls from her family. To her surprise, everybody in her house loved Sam including her dad.

Especially her grandparents were elated that Becky was with someone like Sam. After a little conversation, Becky headed to her room. When she was climbing the stairs she heard Richie calling her in a faint voice.

"Bec... Bec...", Richie called her

She turned to see him and motioned him to come to her room.

"What's wrong?", Richie asked straight.

Richie can find literally anything that is not visible to others. Probably their twin bond is unimaginably strong.

Becky burst out to him. She told him all the bottled-up feelings to him. He pulled her into a gentle hug and let her cry for some time.

"Becky, does Sam know where you live?", Richie asked after confirming that Becky had stopped crying.

"No", she doesn't

"Then I don't see a problem here", Richie said

"I don't understand", Becky was confused.

"Becky, come on take your time. Let her come around don't pressure her. She might have had some issues with her family. Think differently. Just give her some time. If you have any issues talk to her Bec. It's not good to keep everything to yourself", Richie ruffled her hair

Becky understood Richie's perspective but there was still something to tell her instinct was right. She nodded to Richie halfminded.

That night she didn't text Sam as she used to every day but she didn't fail to check her phone for any messages or calls from Sam.

Sam reached her home heavy-hearted. She was lying on the bed looking at the screen of her phone. She was waiting for Becky's message. There is no sign of Becky.

She must have been tired. Sam thought to herself and decided to sleep.

Bec, I know you'll be tired. Take rest. Good night

Sam sent this message and waited for the reply. The time was already past midnight so she slept as she waited for Becky's reply.

Becky woke up around 7 in the morning and took her phone to see if there were any messages from Sam without disappointment she saw Sam's name in the notification bar. She clicked and read the message. Becky thought Sam would have sent a sorry for what happened yesterday. There isn't any. Becky sighed and didn't reply anything to Sam.

Becky received a call from Irin asking her to come to the office as soon as possible. Becky was somewhat okay after hearing a new project had been signed. This will be more profitable compared to all their projects. Becky reached her office around 8.30 am. Everyone had already arrived, and they were in deep discussion about the pre-planning of the budget. No one saw the time until Irin received a call from Richie.

It was nearly 2 pm. They decided to pause the work for a while, it was their usual lunchtime. Becky knew she would have to see Sam if she went to the food court with her friends.

"Someone has to finish the budget before this evening, so I'll stay back here. Get me food when you guys come back", Becky said to others.

Everyone knew something was wrong with Becky today, no they concluded that there was a problem or a misunderstanding between Bec and Sam because she would never skip food.

They decided to give her the space and left the office. Sam was already waiting for Becky in the food court but she couldn't see her with the gang. Sam saw Irin getting a takeaway after finished eating, it doesn't have to be explained to Sam she knew it was for Becky. Now she knew for sure Becky was avoiding her.

Irin knew Sam looked at them once in a while desperately, she knew Sam was looking for Becky constantly. Becky did the same for the next two days and Sam waited every day for Becky in the food court.

It was the day of the music concert. Becky felt nauseous since morning even after taking medicines the symptoms have not settled. She asked her friends and workers to go to the concert. Expect Irin, the rest of them were happy to spend the evening. When everybody left Irin came back to talk with Becky.

Irin has already heard what happened between Becky and Sam through Richie. She consoled Becky and told her how desperately Sam waited for her every day in the food court.

Becky felt a pang in her heart but still, she couldn't accept the fact that Sam had never contacted her, not even a message.

"Are you not going home?", Irin asked

"No, I'll sleep in my office room itself. The symptoms have started to calm down I don't want to drive now".

"Okay. Call me if you need anything", Irin said and left the office.

Becky had two recliner sofa beds one in her office and the other in their discussion room, which will be mostly used and a sofa only. when there was too much work she used to stay back in her office so always had a set of pillows and a quilt in her office cupboard.

Becky felt like seeing Sam since that morning, she knew Sam would be there at the concert. She was in a dilemma for some time and because of her health, she slept soon on the sofa.

The gang reached the venue and had their seat directly straight to the stage. Irin looked around for the sight of Freen she couldn't be seen anywhere. When the program was about to start Irin went to the restroom where she saw Sam backstage helping the performers. Sam was wearing a mask and a cap so Irin initially mistook Sam for someone.

When Sam saw Irin she asked with much hesitation whether Becky had accompanied them. Irin said that Becky was not well and she was in their office.

"She will take a rest there. I don't think she will go home tonight", Irin said with an internal smirk.

"Is.... Is she alone there?" Sam asked reluctantly.

"Yes, but don't worry Sam she'll take care of herself", Irin said directly looking into Sam's eyes. She saw Sam feeling bad for Becky.

Irin had a small talk with Sam and left the backstage but she didn't return to her place instead she stood amidst the crowd and saw Sam leaving the venue in a hurry. Irin knew Sam was going to see Becky.

She smiled and gave a self-appreciation pat on her shoulder and walked to her seat.
