My Life: Sacks of lie

Chapter 5 - Sanyopi

I knew that John wouldn't talk to me anymore and I don't care about him because he cheated on me. Who knows if he is a criminal who is about to kidnap me? I was waiting for 3 pm so that I could meet the lady. Should I believe her or not? She looks kind, sweet, and all that stuff but let's see. It was almost noon so I decided to check what mom is up to.

I texted her but then saw that she hadn't seen all the previous messages; Those messages that were sent to her when I left my town. How is this possible? Something is wrong; with my mom or this stupid network.

I stepped out for brunch when Marianna stopped me and asked, "Do you want my help?" I was about to say something when she burst out laughing. "I was joking darling. Why are you taking me so seriously?" I smiled in embarrassment. She said, "As I had said, that we will be hanging out one day, what about today?" I agreed with a response, "only till or before 3 pm. I have to meet someone." she replied, "meet whom? The room service lady?" and again burst to laugh. Actually, did she hear our conversation; but why would she do that?

I asked her if she had her breakfast. She said, "No". So I gave the idea about going for brunch together and watching a short film in the cinema. She said yes, we went to our rooms to get ready. We decided to have brunch in the mall and do some window shopping. So we started by going to the mall. On the way there, I asked her about herself, how she is here, and what she does. She refused to tell by changing the topic, "what will we have for brunch?"

I replied, "whatever you wish". We reached the mall and I decided to ask her if she knew John, as I had caught them talking the previous time when I went with John. She replied, "um no". I noticed that she was giving very short answers, something was wrong.

We had momos for our brunch and then went to the mini theatre which was situated in the mall itself. We watched a comedy movie. Time with her was really fun. I wanted to know more about her, but she wouldn't tell me anything.

I didn't have any idea what the matter was but I and Marianna had a good time. When I say a good time, it means a good time. we looked a little like each other; It felt like we were together but that wasn't possible because she looked a little different from my parents. We laughed a lot; in some places, people misunderstood us for sisters.

I glared at her while she was leaving; I thought to myself, "we really look alike, It's such an odd coincidence".

I left to meet the lady who was a detective. I reached there on time; took a seat and was looking around when another slim, tiny woman with orange hair which was weird but suited the lady, sat in front of me. I was surprised so asked her, "Excuse me?" She told me a few numbers, "2285." I was like, "Who are you, and do I know you?" She told me that she was that detective lady and introduced herself, "I am Sanyopi, nice to meet you". I was shocked to see her in such an appearance.

"Oh, I am sorry, I mean I am Emily. What was that number 22.. and this your appearance", I asked.

She replied, "I change my appearance and roam in the town so that nobody recognizes me as a detective. I have to solve this case. It's something important, and the code I told you is very important to remember it."

The waiter broke our conversation and asked for the order. We told him that we would like to have coffee and lime juice.

I agreed with Sanyopi and asked her, "how do we start?" she replied to me like she had done the full planning for the investigation, " first, I will start with some questions", and started, " what does your father do?" I answered, " He was a businessman. He travels a lot and I think for the same reason he had came here." she questioned me more, "How is your Bond with your family?" I answered again, " pretty good until he died; my mom became depressed". She continued asking me more questions and then finally asked, "the last question, Is something that is odd in your family like something fishy?". That moment I remembered about the diary and spoke up, " I have three dads" She reacted very strangely, "What? How did you get to know and who told that to you?".

"When I had come to the Motel room, I was setting up the things. when I went to the shoe rack I found the diary; It looks familiar to me so I opened it and started reading. then I realized it was my father's diary, where he had written." The conversation was again broken by the same waiter, "Bill."

We paid the bill and got out of the cafe. We headed to the central park; We sat on the bench and then Sanyopi asked me, "can you hand me over the diary?" I gave it to her. She read and told me, "Yes that is true that your father was a businessman, but it is not true that your father had come here for his business work" I was surprised, " how do you know?"

"I think you didn't read the last few pages where your father had mentioned everything. It says that he got to know about your three fathers and one of them was your father himself" She replied with a serious face.

"What to do now?" I asked with a curious face. " First we have to interrogate your mother," said Sanyopi.

I said, "It won't do, she is already mad at me".

"she has to and she will. I have a plan, if we follow the plan we will get some worthy clues"

"So, what's the plan?" I asked in a cheesy voice. "Not this time later, I mean tomorrow. I will text you." She handed me the diary and went swiftly.

I was confused. She seemed so simple when I first met her, but now she was so serious and active. It may be because of this case.

When I was about to go to my motel, a message popped on my mobile. It wasSanyopi, she wrote a message that said 'someone was following us'.
