BEHIND THE MASK

Chapter two (knowing myself)

I look at every corner of the room, I start trembling as if something precious to me get missing, I can't believe she left without telling me anything.
I descend the stairs in a hurry, I look around the hall, maybe I didn't look well, I search every corner of the house but all to no avail. My mind go numb, what if she is been kidnapped from my house, or was she afraid I will hurt her so he run away? What if someone gets her and harass her again? The thoughts run through my confuse mind.

I should have ask where she stays, I thought. Stupid me, I hit my head, cursing myself for not asking where she was staying or at least her phone number, but it isn't my fault, how could I ask in her state? I reason.

As I think deeper and deeper, the idea of using the visitors office pop up and I didn't think twice about this and head to the office.
Hi, I said approaching the officer in charge.
How may I help you? The white beard man asks. Ahh,, I want to find out about someone, I said.
Her name is Angela, I continued giving him details.

He looks at me with the look saying, is that all? I look at him puzzled. That is all I said. He smirk, that isn't a good information to look for someone, at least her surname will help, he explains. I don't know anything of the sought I said.
Then I think you aren't authorize to know about about her. He said going on about his thing. I look around and everyone was busy doing their thing which bore me. I want to use my fist but that won't help either.

I stay in front of the office thinking for other ideas, I run over to the train station, I seek their permission and goes through the passenger list, which I find nothing. Maybe she did not come by train, so I check the bus station and nothing did I gain.
Then did she come by her own car? That is possible but is she that rich to own a car? Whatever, I let the thoughts left my mind and focuse on what I am looking for.
But why am I so interested in finding her? After all I don't know her besides she left on her own. Yea it is because if her family can't find her, they will blame it on me. But is that really the case? I don't know myself either.

As weird thoughts runs through my mind, I decide to check the private car users garage.
Hello, I said to the lady attendant. Hello, what can I do for you? She asks politely which flattered me.
Can I look into the recent people who park their cars here? I ask.
Is there a particular person you are checking on? She asks the obvious.
Yea, her name is Angel, I said looking at her expectantly.
Angel? She asks repeating what I said, then I remember her name is really Angela, I am just use to Angel. Oh sorry, it is Angela I correct myself.

She scroll down the list, I move closer to take a look at the laptop in front of her. Wait, I said, this is her picture, I look at the name attach to the picture and I get the chill, the name corresponding to the person I know is widely different.
But you said it is Angela, right? The lady attendant said, I nod staring at the picture in confusion.

Why did she lie to me? Then her birth date is also incorrect? But her face shows no lies, or was it to fool me? If so why? Why me? These thoughts runs through as I made my way home. I was completely lost in my mind, I walk like a crazy person, I don't blame her for lying to me like this, I only blame those who made her so.
I pull my thought together, that is alright, it isn't like we know each other, we just met for some hours, not even a day so why should I bother myself?

I open the gate to my home, I look around the lonely house, a big fine house, painted in blue and white, I am getting tired of this place, why am I stuck here like a prisoner, ? Why did my teacher leave this big house to me? The thought make me frustrated.

I lay on the sofa, trying hard not to think about Angel, I don't want to admit she lied to me, I don't want her name on the list, I will just stick to the name she gave me, if fate allow us to meet again, then I will ask her.
