He was gone... I was left behind. I wanted to go with him.
Ring.... Ring..
"Come right away Naira, otherwise I'll fire you" boss called.
I went, leaving my feelings aside. Holly was ignoring me completely. She sat with other people and giggled among themselves.
During the day Luke called me thrice, I liked it. At the end of the day boss came up to me and said that he would not give me the leave salary. I was upset. I called my driver and asked him to pick me up.
When I entered home, I heard the sofa hustling. I stumbled...
My cat came and licked my toes and I picked it up. I waved my hand in every possible direction to satisfy myself that I was alone.
It was in the middle of the night when I heard a glass break.
Beeep....Beeep.....
It was the safety siren. I dragged my blanket and walked tiptoed... I went up to the laundry room and figured out that the glass was broken. Blood ran cold... I stood numb.
I went up to my room and locked the door. I tried to call Luke or the cops, but my walkie-talkie had just disappeared.
Meow....Meow....
I could hear kitty meowing, but I had no courage to open the door and bring her in.
The night passed. I called Luke and he was tense. He asked me for my CCTV cam passcode.
He logged in to see the footage as he talked to me.
"Just listen, don't move and don't say a word," he said from the other end.
"The guy is sitting right in front of you in a sofa, and he is watching you" he added
I pretended normal, but I was terrified from the inside. I was controlling my emotions.
I heard a knock on the door, and the door slammed open.
"Who is there?"
"It's me Holly", she said, and touched my arms.
I was still holding on the phone to hear about the intruder, but Luke couldn't reach me. I knew the person would have disappeared. I told Holly that I would go along with her and she agreed.
I went to her place. She offered me latte mocha. I just took a sip and it tasted terrible.
I told her that someone was inside my house. She asked me for the passcode and looked into all the footage.
"Yeah! But who is that?" She said haltingly.
"Do you have any other footage with you, have you told this to anyone" she continued as she clicked several keyboard buttons.
"I should delete them, it's of no use," she added.
Why was she behaving abnormal... Was something wrong with the footage... What did she see?
