SECRET NOTE

Finding Juan

I take a long drive to 8th street san pedrô.There was a beautiful house with the given address 299, I knock, getting ready to tell any body who opens the door about what I have encountered.I stand there,waiting...I knock again...nothing... I knock as loud as my hands will drop off...nothing! I peeked in the window...Dark empty dining room,other window....dark empty living room with a perfectly fine TV.hmm " HELLO!?" I scream at the top of my lungs " what are you doing there?" A soft voice asks " looking for Mr.Juan Carlos" I turn to see a handsome man wearing a green t-shirt and maong ( blue) pants,holding a bag of.....Fish." Juan Carlos? He hasn't come home in...um...six months and twenty nine days!" He says trying to remember " oh...do you know where he is.Sir ?" " nope,But we can talk about it in my home" the way he  said home so calmly and nicely I couldn't say no "okay,I am Paola.may I ask who you are?" I ask " I am Mark Juanito, I'm a close friend of Juan" he mumbles " oh"
We soon arrive at his house.It was big and beige,and there....was a big bush that was filled with....fishes..okay...breathe! I calmed myself .He opened the door and let me in "Soo,how close are you and Juan?" I ask " oh..w-we go way back"
"that sounds nice.It reminds me of shiela and I,we were friends since birth,Very close friends, we still are" I said " I have a picture of Juan,So just to make sure that this is the Juan we both are talking about" I show juan's picture and Mark smiles
"Yup,that's my Juan!" He stands up and pours som glass of water. "But...Juan had to leave" he says drinking from his glass
"What do you mean?" I ask,confused " he got married to this Margaret and went to Canada,but later,later on, he came back to live here.he was working as a florist,he loved flowers!" It was nearly 10:00 am and I had shiela waiting at the café!! " excuse me mr.mark but my friend is waiting for me at a café,I was supposed to meet her" " oh,it's fine.Nice having ya though! Bye"
" bye!" I run to my car like I was being chased by some cannabals! I drive to chocó kiss café where I saw shiela sitting down,staring at the menu " hi shiela,sorry I'm late!" "Late? I was kinda late too so it's okayHow did the meet up with...Juan? Go" " yup,Juan.he wasn't there. A man named mark Juanito said he hasn't come home in a couple months already!"
She looked at me with her what-are-you-thinking- look " hmmm" " ...uhm...am I doing something wrong?" I ask her and she tilts her head " nah,it's just that face you do when you think of doing something that I highly disapprove of" I grin "heheh"
