The Lost Family

11- "A Shadow"

        "Kate go inside." Joseph instructed. She left. "Whether she loves me or not, if you ask my opinion if anyone would be at the place of Kate, I would never marry her with such a cheapskate." Joseph said.

         Mr.Smith responded and went back, ''Get ready for the payback of the prince' insult." Joseph said to himself, "Just a prince of name." He called Kate in his room to ask the meaning of 'I love Joseph', she appeared in her room and Joseph locked the door. "Why are you locking it? Can't you see me inside?"
"Just to have some personal discussion. Can I ask something from you?" Joseph said Kate.

            "You are asking me like as if before you asked me to say something. What do you want ask?" Kate said. Joseph was hushed for a while, thinking how to start the conversation and said hesitatedly, "Do you really... do you felt the words from your heart which you said?" He was exceedingly confused. Kate said, "What I said? Who would like to say you something, just kidding." Jospeh replied, "But I am not. You said you love me do you?" Instantly, Kate saw a shadow of someone on the wall behind Joseph. She looked everywhere.

             "I am asking you something. I need the answer." Joseph said. Kate looked at him for a second and when she looked back again where the shadow was standing, it vanished. "I just said it mistakenly didn't know how but did not mean to." Joseph got to know that somewhere in her heart Kate has love and care for him. Joseph said, "Are you sure you didn't mean that and if you don't say it by looking in my eyes." She did not look.

             "What should I understand of your not looking here?" Joseph said and pulled her near to him. Kate closed her eyes, enjoying this romantic feeling from her heart. "Wanna come more close or you'll tell me that you love me?" Joseph asked such a question that was hard for Kate to answer and in compulsion, but she also meant her words. She said yes and ran towards the door. Her lips got dry after that, so she went in the kitchen to drink water. She drank and when she was going back, the glass fell on the floor suddenly. She looked back but there was no one. For a moment, it seems that someone ran out from the kitchen.

Is it a thief and if not then whom Kate saw two times?
