On reaching Nancy's house I went straight to her room.I began to search for her diary. I put the page , which I had brought from the botanical garden, in one of her books on the table. I searched her closet, her suitcase and everywhere. But her diary was nowhere to be found. " Did you get the clue for your work, I mean from the botanical garden." Anne asked me. She was standing behind me. I didn't realise when she came. "Oh yeah!" I sighed. " I know Jezz going to help you a lot." Anne announced. "Mom I didn't found my diary. Do you know where I have kept?" Words came out from my mouth. " You are writing in a diary? I don't know " Anne showed her astonishment. "I don't come to your room much." She confessed. "It's okay,I'll find it" I smiled at her. Anne smiled back and went out of the room. Suddenly I felt pity for her. She could not believe that I was not her Nancy. I decided not to hurt her feelings. I would pretend as Nancy until the time comes to disclose everything. Moreover if I tell her again that I am not Nancy she would think I was suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. Surely she would take me to a psychiatrist. So it's better to go with the flow of time.
After taking a bath Anne came to my room, means it's mine now and told me that she let Jezz cut down the peepal tree as it was a barrier for sunlight to fall on the ground. I told her that Jezz told me so. I noticed she was in her formal dress to go out. " Food is in the kitchen. Go and have it whenever you feel like " Anne went out of the room. I went to the kitchen . In a dish I tossed some noodles with a little sauce and some bacons. I filled my stomach. When I crossed her room an instinct urged me to peep Anne's room. I stepped inside. The room was tidy and spacious. There was a photo frame on the wall. It displayed me and her. No Pa's photo. I was curious to know what happened to him. I searched her room but I didn't know what I was searching. When I was about to open the cabinet I heard a voice. " What do you want dear?" Anne asked firmly. Her voice startled me. I blushed. "Oh no no ...I just wanted to see my Pa's photo" I said bluntly "It's surprising to hear from you asking about your dad." Anne lifted her brow. " Now it's been a long time since your father left." Anne seemed to miss him . I hugged and soothed her. She put her arms around me and kissed me on my forehead. "Wow a stunning scene with mom and daughter." Jezz was standing on the doorway with a wide smile on his face. " The accident brought both of you closer." He said and laughed aloud. "Are you jealous?" I asked him with a smile. He nodded and was laughing too. He pulled me out of Ann's room and came to the varendah. "That day you told me I should read a letter which was in one of the books on your desk. Now give it to me. I don't want to search all the books." Jezz suddenly said. " Yeah I searched myself in the books but didn't find it. I might kept it somewhere." I lied " I should have taken that day but I was too busy to take it " he confessed "And then your accident. Sorry Nan." "You needn't have to worry I will give it to you as soon I find it " I lied again. Jezz put his hands on my shoulders and looked at me. I didn't like the way he looked at me. So I bade him and entered the house. After a minute I heard his car took off from our compound. There was no time now I have to find out the answers How did I come here? Where was Elias at the moment? How would I go to my true world? Thinking all these made me weep silently.
