THE TRUTH BEHIND MY EYES

MISSING?

Finally weekends.
This week had been interesting.
No more encounter with Mr.Asshole.
Well we had met each other like in the hallway or in the cafeteria but didn't talk to each other.
I actually formed a great friendship with our genetics professor Mr.Ashton Davis.
He is great and very friendly.
We always talked about many genetic disorders.
I also like having Trace around.
It finally feels great to have a friend like her.
She really cares for me as her sister.
Right now Trace is looking for a dress for our freshers party and I am busy looking for new horror movies to watch.
Suddenly the doorbell rings out.
Who is it at that moment?
It's 3:00 pm already.
I think it's Max or Jess but no my luck is still not with me.
After opening the door, I didn't expect to see Assantonio and his Playboy brother standing in front of me.
“Oh My God,Trace look, we are so honoured that the Gredon Brothers are here by themselves at our doorstep.What the fuck are you doing here?”
“First let us in Knifey and get ready.”
Antonio ordered me while walking into our dorm room.
“Ready?Why?”
“Look,I don't have time for your bullshit and I think at least you owe me that much for insulting me every time you see me.”
Trace is as confused as me.
“I’m not going anywhere.”
“Look, Knifey either you will go out with me by yourself or I will make you.”
“Antonio you can't come into our room and order Angi to go out with you like that.”
“Sorry Tracy but I don't have any more choices.”
He suddenly comes to stand in front of me.
“Don't tell me I haven't warned you.”
He whispered in my ear.
In a swift motion he threw me over his shoulder and walked out of the room.
The fuck?
“You asshole, leave me.” I kept screaming at him and hitting him but damn he is so strong.
It's like he is made of bricks.
I am giving up now.
My hands are actually sore from hitting this brick wall.
I  still can hear Trace's scream from a distance and Reuben trying to tell her something.
Okay,I get it.
He is gonna kill me now.
Maybe if I am to die today then I can enjoy it as well.
I am actually having a great view of his perfect ass.
So I slapped it.
Hard!!
“What the fuck Knifey?” his angry voice calls out as he throws me in his car.
“Ha,serve you right asshole.”
“That doesn't mean you have to spank me. It's harassment.”
He sits in the driver seat and starts the car.
That's when I noticed the car.
“Wait? Isn't that the bugatti which won that car race?”
“Yes, it's mine.”
“But, it's the Tony boy’s?”
“Tony. Short form of Antonio.”
Oh. I am so stupid.
Second hand embarrassment.
I decided to keep quiet.
Twenty minutes later we stopped in front of a mall?
He takes me here to shop?
Without my consent.
I get inside only to be greeted by the Oldman.
“Mr.Greco we have ready everything according to you come here with me please.”
I guess that man is the manager.
He takes us to the child section.
Wait what?
“Choose a dress for a girl.”
“Excuse me?”
“I said choose a dress for a girl and her favourite colour is purple.”
I don't know what to say anymore so I started to search for a purple dress as he commanded.
The good thing is that this section is full of purple dresses for 3 to 5 years old.
After looking for some time, I finally noticed a beautiful purple dress.
The dress is halter style.
It has a big bow in the middle of the back and then the rest of it is flowy.
But the front is short just above the knee but the back side is long.
It has small  fake lavender all over its skirt.
It's totally made of cotton so it's too soft and comfortable.
A 3 or 4 year old can wear this.
I picked it up from the rack but accidentally knocked down one dress from the side.
As I am bending down to retrieve it, that's the moment I realised it.
Holy Fuck.
No no no no.
Not now.
I totally forgot today is my day.
Shit!!
Worst of all, I am wearing a white shorts.
I rubbed my hand on my ass cover shorts.
Surely enough it's wet.
How long have I been walking like this?
I tried to cover it with one hand and went up to Antonio.
“Here is the dress.Take it and I have to go to the washroom.” I started to ramble.
“Sure,go.”
I ran to the washroom and pulled down my pants.
Surely enough. There is a huge red blood stain on here.
How am I supposed to walk on that?
I don't even have my tampons.
I started crying.
Oh my god my mood swings.
It's horrible.
I am feeling  so much humiliated.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
“Mam, please open the door. Sir told me to give you this.”
I open the door slowly and take the bag from her.
There is a green dress and underwear and some tampons.
I quickly changed into it.
It fits me perfectly.
When I came up to him, he was sitting on the sofa and looking at his phone.
He looked up from his phone and cleared his throat while standing up.
“It fits you perfectly. Let's go.”
“Umm, thanks for it.”
He just nodded at me.
I have to say he has a great fashion taste.
The dress is moss green and short flowy ,just above my knees.
It's v cut but not too low with spaghetti straps and has floral design.
It's backless with strings attached with it in a crisscross pattern.
Really good dress but still I am feeling embarrassed as he picked the underwear.
“We have to go to the bakery,” he told me.
I nodded at him.
We went to the bakery across from the mall.
“Choose a birthday cake.”
Birthday cake?
Maybe it's a birthday party.
I looked at the shelf and suddenly noticed a 2 layer chocolate cake with purple icing.
It's perfect. Matches with the dress.
“How about this one?”
“It's nice.” he went to the counter to pay for it.
“Hey,stop.”
“What?” he said irritatedly.
God,why is he in such a crappy mood.
Does he have periods too?
In the morning he is rude then he gave me that dress and again a crappy mood.
His mood swings are giving me whiplash.
“Look,I  don't know whose birthday  it is but as it's a birthday party for a child I want to give her something so how about I pay for the cake?”
His cold eyes seemed to soften for a moment but it's gone as soon as it came.
“Ok.”
I paid for it.
We went to his car and he started driving.
After some time he came to stop in front of an orphanage home?
‘HAPPY HOME’
“You go inside,I will stay in the car.”
I told him softly.
“No,you will come with me.”
He opened the passenger side door for me.
Suddenly the cramp hit me in full force and I started to fall but he grabbed me.
“Are you okay?”
“Yaa, just cramps you know.”
We went inside there.
The whole room is beautifully decorated with white and purple balloons and ribbons.
I guess it's the Tangled theme.
It's so beautiful.
“Tony” suddenly a chirpy voice yells out.
I noticed a girl who seemed like 3 years old running towards us and suddenly hugged Antonio’s leg.
He bent down to his level.
“Hey there my rapunzel,Happy Birthday.”
“ Thank you, I thought you would not come.”
“How can I miss my princess’s birthday?”
She is so beautiful.
Large blue eyes, Reddish curly hair.
Soft face,thin lips and with a beautiful soprano voice.
“Who is she?” she asked in a small voice.
“She is my friend.Her name is Satsangi.”
Friend?or should I say enemy?
“She is beautiful.”
“Yes,she is.” Antonio smiled at her softly but looked at me with something else in his eyes.
I can't name this feeling.
He thinks I am beautiful?
Well no of course not.He has so many beautiful girls in his life.So why would he think of me as beautiful?
I choose to ignore that comment and also that tingling feeling.
I also bent down to the little girl's level.
“Hey there beautiful Happy Birthday.” I smiled at her.
“Thank you.”
“Well, let's get the party started.”
If someone even told me in the morning that Antonio can be a softy then I would laugh at them.
But now I can see that he is not that bad.
I don't know who Nancy is to him but he loves her.
All the children in the orphanage seem to love him.
He is so carefully relaxed around them.
He is laughing with them.Playing with them.
His cold green eyes suddenly have an unnatural shine in them.
I also spent my whole time very blissfully.
Nancy cut the cake while wearing that purple dress which she seems to love very much.
We clicked so many pictures together.
I also clicked one with Antonio.
There are like 15 children.
A social worker here told me that Antonio decorated the party.
He comes here every month and also brings necessities for the children.
Every child here loves him like their own brother.
Right now the children are dancing.
Antonio is sitting on the sofa.
I went to sit beside him.
“Thank you.”
“What?” I am confused.
“I said Thank you.Every year I bought dresses or gifts for her but she didn't like my Sense of fashion or gifts that much. Maybe they were too flashy or uncomfortable for her .I don't know.She didn't tell me directly but I know.I thought you have a great sense of fashion and they also are very comfortable so I made a rash decision and brought you to the mall.”
“It's ok,I enjoyed it too. Also thanks for the dress and umm, tampons.”
“It's ok, no need to be embarrassed.”
“Tony please come and dance with me.” Nancy started to request it.
“Right here, princess.I will dance with you.”
That started to dance as the music started to play.
I guess it's a Disney song.
They are having so much fun.
I don't know what to feel towards him.
I didn't ever had that feeling for anyone.
I want to stop it but again I don't want it to stop.
Maybe I should see a doctor.
Then again I looked at Antonio.
The whole room is full with his melodious laugh.
His cold demeanour has slipped off.
He is not a block of ice anymore.
“Come on Satsangi and dance with Tony.” Nancy told me while pulling me towards him.
“Nancy, I don't dance.”
“Please for me.”
Then she started to make puppy faces just like Trace.
Suddenly Antonio came toward me and wrapped his arm around my waist.
Shock is a clear evidence on my face now.
“For her.” he whispered in my ear.
Suddenly the music started to flow in.
‘A THOUSAND YEARS’ …My favourite song.
But why this song?
I kept my hands locked around his neck.
Too much closeness.
He is smelling like something else.
It's not the smell of his cologne but him.
Sweet, Cinnamon and musky type.
I want to drown myself in it.
Why is it feeling so peaceful?
Just him and me.
An electric kind of thing is flowing between us.
I can't describe the pull I am having towards him.
It's unbelievable and indescribable.
He is continuously looking at me.
Never for one minute he removed his gaze from me.
Brown and green eyes are having their own silent conversation.
I want to say thousands of things aloud but still want to enjoy this silent conversation.
I don't even know how long I have been dancing with him.
The“Wow” loud clapping sound filled the room.
We tore our gaze from each other.
Children are clapping and cheering.
A familiar blush started to cover my cheeks.
Twenty minutes later I said goodbye to all of them and now we are on our way towards college.
The drive is totally full of silence.
I am also enjoying the night view.
A long silent road between a forest.
In less than 30 minutes we reached the college.
He parked his car in front of the gate.
I noticed I still have 5 minutes until it's 8.
“Okay,bye.” I told him.
“Bye, Good night and again thanks for everything.”
“It's okay, good night.”
When I entered, I noticed the guard was sleeping in his cabin.
That's odd.
He is usually wide awake.
Maybe he is tired.
After reaching my room I rang the bell.
“Trace,open the door.”
I am standing here for 1 minute but no answer.
"Trace?"
Again no answer.
I again knocked on the door.
“Trace open it.”
This time I knocked hard but suddenly the door slid open.
What? It's unlocked?
Trace never leaves the door unlocked.
“Trace? Trace?”
I yelled for her yet no one answered.
I searched for her everywhere but she was nowhere.
What the fuck?
I even called her but it's switched off.
One minute Reuben?
Yes when Antonio had taken me with him then Reuben was here with her.
That Motherfucker.
If he did anything to her then I will kill him.
I don't give a damn about how powerful he is.
“Belle?”
I turned around to see Reuben standing at the door with Antonio?
“You bastard. Tell me where Trace is?”
I grabbed his collar and was just going to slap him when suddenly he stopped me.
“Whoa whoa,woman.What are you talking about? And Belle ,I mean Tracy is here right. I told her I will come back after buying this pastry.”
That's when I noticed a paper bag in his hand.
“No,she is not here.The door was unlocked when I came here.”
“What?”
“Can anyone told me what the fuck is happening here” Antonio all but yelled at us.
“Bro when you took Satsangi then I was here with Trace.Like 1 hour ago she told me she wanted pastry so I went outside to buy one for her but because of traffic I got late then I met you outside the gate and we came up here together ,well the rest of you drama you know.”
“How can I believe that you are telling the truth?” I asked Reuben.
“Please,she is not my enemy and why the hell do I have to kidnap her?”
He is right in a way.
“Now you describe Knifey.”
“I came up here and continuously rang the bell but no one opened but when I started to knock harder on the door then the door opened and Trace was nowhere to be found and his phone was even switched off. Last time when you took me Reuben was there so I thought that maybe he had done something to her.”
“Look,we have to find Trace.” Reuben said.
“Yes, Maybe I should go and call others.”
“No need for that, it's already past 8 pm and the more people you will involve then the more it will be confusing.At first we should go and check the CCTV footage” Antonio ordered.
When we come down the guard is still sleeping.
“Why is he sleeping during the duty hours? If someone had kidnapped her or she just got out by herself,shouldn't he have noticed that?”
“You Are right.”
We entered his cabin.
“Brady,Brady.”
Reuben started to shake him but again silence.
“He is not sleeping,he is unconscious.”
“Someone might have knocked him out.”
Suddenly I noticed a coffee mug on the coffee.
Coffee is still in it but half.
“I guess someone had mixed something in his coffee to knock him out.”
“It can be a possibility.” Antonio murmured.
We have to go to the office room now.
We knocked on the door but again met with silence.
When we pushed open the door we were shocked to see that picture in front of us.
One worker is lying on the floor and two are on the chair.
Unconscious.
Whoever did it, he totally planned it.
“Guys look at the coffee mugs.”
As before there is also some coffee in it.
I am sure that's the reason for their unconsciousness.
“Let's check the CCTV.”
They started to do something on the computer.
I just can see that the screen is totally blurry.
But after sometime Antonio screamed out frustrated.
“Fucking shit, they deleted everything from today morning.”
What? Deleted?
“Bro,I think we should go home and see what we can do there.”
They grabbed some pen drives from the
drawers and some other things I don't know about.
We ran to his car but suddenly the cramp hit me with full force.
“Oomph!” I groaned.
Fuck,I forgot I am in my periods.
It's hurting like a bitch.
“Angi,are you all right?”
“Yes, I’m”
“Let's go.”
I started to stand up but suddenly Antonio pulled me in his arms and carried me in a bridal style toward his car.
“Hey, it's already 8.30 pm so how can I…”
“No need to worry about that.We will take care of everything.”
My head is literally spinning because of that first drive.
They stopped the car in front of a mansion.
It's fucking huge.
How can two people live in something so big?
I followed them inside.
I really don't have time to check out the interior now.
I followed them inside.
When we reached the 4th floor, we entered a room.
What the bloody hell?
It looks like a hacking room.
Like in the movies.
Full of computers and some gadgets I don't even know.
Cables and electric wires are everywhere like spider webs.
Are they some kind of hacker?
“I know you are confused but we will explain everything to you Later.”
I can only nod.
I don't know how long I have been sitting there.
They are occasionally shouting and cursing but all of it is going over my head.
“Found it.” Reuben yelled out.
After watching the clip I know one thing for sure that Trace is in the college campus or more like
.
.
.
.
.
In college.
