Where Have You Gone

Chapter 1️⃣4️⃣

"Sam stop. Please Sam stop..", Becky mumbled in between the kisses and tried to push herself away but Sam held her firmly.

"I said stop", Becky forcefully pushed Sam off her. Sam fell down from the bed to the flood with a loud thud...

Only after hearing that sound, did Becky realize that she pushed Sam down before she tried to get up from the bed Sam had already gotten up from the floor.

Becky sat on the bed she didn't know how to feel, it was too much to process. Sam climbed on the bed and sat in front of her.

She reached for Becky's hands took those into her hands and started to stroke them with her thumbs. Becky didn't speak a word to Sam.

Sam took Becky's hand and kissed the injection marks on it. Becky felt an electric shock running down her spine. She slowly tried to get her hands back but Sam was holding those tightly.

"Bec I'm sorry"

......

"Please say something"

......

"Please Bec. Come on speak something".

After a long pause, Bec started to speak.

"Sam you don't have to pretend just for my sake. I'm letting you go. We'll finish whatever we have. It's not easy but I can pretend like nothing happened". Becky's voice trembled towards the last.

Sam's eyes widened in shock. She came here to see Becky with the same decision but never in her dreams, she thought that she'd hear those words from her angel.

Sam took a deep breath.

"Go brush your teeth. I'll bring you breakfast". Sam stood up and left the room as if nothing happened.

Becky remained in the same position for the next two minutes and headed to the washroom.
After finishing all her morning routine she came back and saw Sam arranging the breakfast in two plates. Sam on seeing Becky dragged one of the chairs for Becky and she took the other one.

"I don't want anything now", Becky said flatly

"I didn't ask whether you want or not. Just eat", Sam was clearly pissed off for some reason.

Becky consumed everything on the plate and went to the guest room without looking at Sam.

Sam felt a horrible pain seeing Becky's behavior. Sam stays on the living room sofa, she doesn't know what to do.

Around 11.30 am she started to prepare lunch for them. Becky never came out of the room. Sam took roughly an hour to prepare garlic veggie noodles, grilled chicken wings, a coconut milk pudding, and freshly prepared orange juice.

She went to call Becky for lunch but the room was locked from inside. She knocked on the door twice and waited for Becky to open the door.

Becky opened the door and gave a flat stare.

"It's lunchtime. Come let's eat" Sam said looking at her.

"I don't want anything".

"But Bec you need to eat something. You have medicine to take".

"Oh!! Really!! You're talking like you care. Very funny".

"Becky please.."

"Don't disturb me, Sam". Becky shut the door in Sam's face.

Sam knocked one more time but this time Becky didn't respond.

Sam went back to the couch. She opened her bag and took her wallet out which had a small photo. It was her mother's.

9 pm

Becky didn't know whether Sam was there or she already left. She decided to call Irin but she couldn't reach Irin by phone. She slowly opened the door and came out. She saw someone lying on the couch she came closer and Sam sleeping on the couch she was holding something in her hands. Becky was curious to see what was that. Becky bends down to take a closer look, it was a photo of a woman in her early forties. She looked exactly like Sam. Becky saw Sam's face and couldn't find any difference from the pic she was holding.

Becky could see dried tear streak marks on Sam's cheeks. She really felt bad for treating her that way. She wanted to make sure Sam tasted her own medicine.

Becky went to the dining table and saw all the food prepared by Sam for her. She slowly took them one by one and reheated everything and arranged them on the table.

Becky came near the couch but doesn't know how to wake up Sam. She saw Sam's phone and wallet beside her on the couch. Becky couldn't control her curiosity to see what's in the wallet. She took the wallet and saw three initials imprinted on it.

F.S.C

When she was wondering what does that mean, Sam was already sitting on the couch staring at Becky.

Becky was startled seeing Sam with a look of fear in her eyes. She has never seen Sam like this before. Sam took the wallet from Becky's hand, opened it put her mom's photo inside, and closed it.

"I'm hungry", Becky said turning towards the dining table.

Sam kept her wallet inside her bag and walked behind Becky to the dining table. When she took the noodles bowl she noticed it was hot. She realized Becky had reheated all the food.

They ate in silence. Becky never looked once at Sam but Sam continued to look at Becky's face. After finishing the food Becky went to her room like morning. Sam finished her food and cleaned the table and the vessels. She didn't want Irin to think badly of her.

Becky was sitting on her bed. She has never had a meal this tasty before not even in star hotels. But she was not convinced to take back Sam. She heard the door knob opening sound, she knew it was Sam.

"Becky have you had your medicines?", Sam's voice didn't sound good.

.......

"How... How was the food?"

........

"If you're not feeling sleepy... Can we... Can we talk?"

........

"I know what I did was wrong. I'm sorry Becky".

.........

"Becky please say something".

"When are you leaving? Irin will be home soon. I don't want her to get any ideas about you and me".

"But Becky..."

"I asked you, When are you leaving?"

"You won't ask why I disappeared the whole week. Don't you want to know anything about that?"

........

"I'll leave now. Take care", Sam said and walked to the living room. She took her phone and her bag and walked towards the main door.

Before leaving Sam turned back to see Becky who was standing in the living room near the couch.

"Sorry, I couldn't respond to any of your calls and messages. My... My... mom passed away"

Sam closed the door and left. It took a couple of minutes to process the information Sam said.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!"

Becky's face palmed and ran towards the door.
