The Clue

Chapter two : The visit

" Ana wake up .. Wake up Ana .. wake up ". Put the pillow on her face, "wake up to have breakfast , and clean the house and I'll be back early don't worry about dinner , I'll be ba.. ".

She put the pillow away angrly " Dad good morning " Ana said quickley  cutting off her father's talk . She went to wash her face up , changed her clothes and went down to eat breakfast .

There was a strange silence , but Ana cut it off saying " I tnought you was thinking about inviting this woman that you don't even know at home , I didn't expect it was a decision " she had a sip of her hot chocolate , " why do you want to get her at our house , I mean she is only a woman , you don't even know her , she just helped you fixing the car engine .. " "Ana you have to know it is not a bad thing to make friends . "He said while holding his coffe cup and reading in the newspaper , he said these words while not even looking at Ana .

Ana thought about the dream she dreamed about her mother yeterday , she said that Mr. Brent (her father ) don't take care carefully about Ana or even care is she happy or sad he don't care at all , and this explain everything , the way he usually talk to her , she became angry suddenly "  Dad heyy i'm trying to start a conversation with you " Mr. Brent looked at her nervously " I mean you  had a friend at work , he's your best friend  why didn't you telk me about I him , I mean  .. , why didn't you invite him for dinner  , instead of inviting a woman you don't even know "

Mr. Brent become uncomfortable suddenly " how could you know , I mean I .. I don't have any friends at work , we are only a work team , you know , HOW DID THESE IDEAS GOT TO YOUR MIND ?"

"It didn't come to my mind and it is not ideas .. they are facts .. I called you yesterday at work , I was jus... "

"WHAT YOU WHAT , I TOLD YOU MILLIONS OF TIMES MOT TO CALL ME AT WORK I TOLD YOU ESPECIALLY THIS TIME YOU ARE LIKE YOUR MOTHER DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY TO YOU YOU JUST DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO WHATEVER IN YOUR MIND " "I  WAS JUST AFRAIN ON YOU " she yelled with tears rolling down her face .

"BUT YOU DISOBEYED MY ORDERS ,I MAY LOSE MY JOB , IT MAY... "

" it may what ? " she asked while her heart pounds so heart .. " conversation ended "  he said nervously then he took his briefcase and went the opened the door "I'm not gonna say this to you don't even call me again at work .. " and then he closed the door .

Ana heard the car moving , she was crying hard missing her mother and can't see her , her father don't estimate how does she love him , she was feeling sorry for herself .

She decided to clean the house if that was going to make her father a little bit happy .. even if that would be a pain in the neck for her.

It become 2:00 afternoon Mr. Brent came home "Ana , Ana " Nobody answered he went to the living room he found it clean and tidy , Ana cleaned the house , but where is she , he searshed all the house for her .. her bedroom , the bathroom .. his bedroom , but there was nobody home , he went to the kitchen he was nervous , but noticed a paper , it was from Ana :

Hey dad , umm I finished cleaning the house ....

I went to a friend's house I just wanna relax

From the work I've done I'll be back soon maybe

After you finish your dinner with SALLY ..

Ana

Mr. Brent was angry he didn't know what to do , he just wanted Sally and Ana to see each other and now Ana's not here . "Perfect" he said coldly to himself .

He went to change clothes and start cooking . An hour or two , he was done . He took a shower and put on his clothes . It was 6:00 , He was finally waiting for Sally .

"I'm gonna die , I can't bear this anymore " said Anna to her friend Sou . "3 years I didn't see my mother and living with a father all day at work and when he decided to take a free day it was for a woman he don't even know I don't worth that , do I ? " she sait that without even twking her breath . "Heyy calm down it don't worth all of that , maybe he's just need a woman , maybe he needs someone to love , give him a chance "

"Ohh and he don't love me ?! Didn't I tell you about what he said to me this morning he was extremly nervous all that because I called him at work , 'cause I was afraid on him , how can he lose his work because his daughter called him what could I do his phone was busy , he was too late , also he can love me I'm his daughter " she said with a very angry tone .

"Not that kind of love , I mean he needs another kind of love another kind , not a family love .... I mean , umm , of course you understant me .. '' she paused a second or two then completed "maybe he needs to marry again ... maybe " she said quickly as if she was afraid from Ana's reaction . "What ? You mean he brought her home 'cayse he .. he .. he wanna marry her ! " "in future "said Sou .. quickly trying to fix the problem she made .They were quiet for a minute but then Ana said in an uncomfortable tone "You know Sou I gotta go I am too late and I need to sleep you know I've got tierd from talking , goodbye "

Ana can not accept this , she's living with her father , probably all day alone and one away from her mother can not see her and then she sees her father with another woman .. that can not exist , over her deadbody .

Ana went home she was hearing laughs .. she became more angry .. "this is too much " said Ana impatiently.

She knocked the door , "this must be my daughter " Mr. Brent said . He opened the door for her, looked angry but happy , you know that feeling of course . Ana saw the guests it was a woman .. and a boy probably Ana's age or a little bit younger  . But she had to admit it the woman was beautiful , she looked exactly like what here father had described , exactly long brown hair , light green eyes, big lips but not red , her body was perfect .. she looked nice , but not to Ana of course . "Heyy is that your daughter Brent ? She looks beautiful . " she had a soft quiet voice . 'Ohh she's saying Brent without Mr. Ewwww ' Ana thought .

Her son was good , kind of , he had hazel brown hair , light blue eyes and a light skin , he looked so thin , he was tall , but he was good , anyway , he called Jake . They stayed an hour more since Ana had came , they talked about many things . She knew that Sally's husband was dead 5 years ago , because of a cancer in his lungs .. he was smoking too much , more than the ordinary people . Ana rememnerd her mother she was smoking too , maybe her mother is dead now , ohh I need to see mom . Ana thought , she just wantet to know if her mother is okay or not . She knew too that Jake Sally's son had 11 years .He said that he had to leave the school once to get money for him and for his mother , but now he got back 'cause his mother's now working in a bank , they're fine now . Ana tried to talk " Okay let me talk about myself , I'm Ana Brent , living with my father Mr. Brent Holmes , I don't know anything about my mother since I was 10 , I don't know if I'm an orphan or not , but I'm fine ..I don't see my father so much these days because of his work.. just yesterday we were going to the cinema .. but he had to work again late at night ." Ana said formaly . Her dad was astonished of her way in talking , not only her dad all of them were surprised actually .

Sally had left probably at 10:00 Ana was gald she had gone , now she can talk to her father comfortably ..

"Dad I heard that all the simple relationships between a man and a woman , like friends you know , turns to be something else , understand me ? " she said in a mysterious tone , "what do mean ? " he said coldly

"Ohh nothing , nothing " she said formaly and slowly .. again .
