 The same old coffee shop which I use to visit when I was studying business and when I met that Girl few years back .Everything was same ,same old paint ,same tables ,same outside view ,same waitresses .It was strange how everything could be same I remember how I tried to find that Girl,I came here every day for almost two years hoping that she will come here but for me she was MISS ANONYMOUS for real ,I didn't know her name or anything about her which would have helped me in finding her.

I started walking towards my specific table on which I used to sit but some one was sitting there already .

"Excuse me? " I said angrily like that table was my property .

"Yes! "

It can't be true , she is here in front of me staring through my soul ,wearing casual purple shirt and jeans ,her hair were opened making her more attractive ,her light pink lips smiling at me and her hazel eyes focused on my face .I can't believe she is here like I found her ,my heart beat was getting fast and fast with every second that I was scared she will hear it beating like crazy .

"You are here ...? Finally I found you ! "I exclaimed while grabbing a seat .

"I was never lost ...It's just you had to look more closely ."

"I tried to find you ,I came here hoping that you will be here but it was all in vain.Neither I had your name nor your number. Where have you been ? "

"I was not lost or anything but may be we had to meet again like this '' She answered.

"Yeah right may be This has to be this way "

"Would you like to have some coffee? "She questioned .

"Yeah sure ! If you giving treat than why not. "I smirked and she just smiled at my reaction .

She called the waitress and asked her to bring two cappuccinos .She turned around to face me and was about to say something that a sudden noise interrupted making me jerk back to reality .My phone was ringing like always perfect timing .

"Hello ! "I answered my phone in a sleepy tone .

"Son It been very late and you are not home .I am worried ,Where are you ? "Dad asked worryingly.

"Dad I'm in office ,working on some important things for tomorrow's meeting with Emily's fashion hub " I replied while rubbing my eyes .

"That's great that you are very keen towards your work but rest in important son, it's very late come home and drive slow there's no need to fly a car like a plan ." Dad hung up after his advise.

Dads will be dads. I smiled after thinking this to myself .

So , that was a dream but why after all these years? why now ? Is there a some connection but connection to what? whats hidden ? Is this the sign that I will find her ?  But how and when ?

I left office building while thinking all these questions .

                                                                       .   ELENA JOHNSON

I came home a little late from work because I was working on the things which Emily asked me to do for the meeting .

Mom and Louis were watching T.v , I decided to sit with them and tell them about the new proposal which will make a lot of profit and expansion to Emily's fashion hub, I believe it will .

"Mom you know Today I just came to know that Emily's fashion hub is getting a wonderful proposal and its great for both of the businesses .I Am damn sure it's gonna work."I told them excitedly sitting beside mom .

"That's good news. " Mom replied coldly .

" This will help me to increase my experience and knowledge. Dad always wanted to see me doing great with my work .He always said do little but great ."I said having tears in my eyes .

"So That's why you did that ? "Louis questioned me angrily .

"What? what did I do ? "I said not understanding his sudden question .

"Why did the hell you wanted that stupid gift on your Birthday ? What would happen if you would have celebrated your one damn birthday without a gift ? "He snapped at me angrily .

"Wait ! What? where is this going ? where did that come from? ''I said staring at him trying to know what was wrong with him .

"You know what I am saying you just not accept this. I was young at that time but that much to not remember anything ." He growl .

"Louis what is wrong with you ? you don't know what you saying ? Mom what's wrong with him ? " I turned to mom for help but she turn her face to opposite direction.
It broke my heart.I couldn't believe this my mother not looking at me and my brother was acting harsh to me.Does he believe that too...No why would he..No he can't..

"Look sister accept it or not YOU ARE THE REASON THAT DAD DIED, IT'S ONLY BECAUSE OF YOU! JUST YOU ! "he  shouted at me and I got the answers to all my questions.
My brother blames me her my father's death no doesn't blame he believes that I am the reason for his death.Tears were floating my eyes and I was hoping that this is also a dream not a reality.That someone will splash the cold water on me I will get up from me sleep but I was my harsh reality.
How can Louis think about me like this?how?

"Stop it both of you ,just stop it ! "Mom shouted and almost run towards her room .

"Loui..." I tried to talk but was stopped by Louis.

"Just don't ! " Louis stood up and left .

I sat there like a statue ,crying like a baby ,trying to figure out what went wrong few moments ago .Louis is blaming me for Dad's death not blaming but he thinks that I am the only reason and Mom why didn't she said anything to stop him to say all those words ,she also thinks that I am the reason .
Today they proved it to me what they believed and think of me and they think of me as a 'murderer'.God!it hurts so much..

   I came to my room ,shut the door behind me and started sobbing recalling all the words my brother said to me ....
