Chapter seventeen
[Lorie]
I am here now at the balcony of my unit, holding the cup of my coffee. The wind is swirling into me but I am wearing my robe that's why I didn't get freeze in cold. I am watching the view up here and every cars and people moving down are so tiny. My unit is on the 8th floor of this condominium that is why everything are small. There is no chance to survive if I fell here.
I shook my head. “What am I thinking?” I made a little sip at my coffee.
Ring! Ring!
I headed inside as I heard my phone ringing. My forehead knotted when I saw who is in my caller ID. It is my niece, Christmas. This is the first time she called me. We never have a conversation since the last we see each other in my old house. I never said sorry to her when I did not attend at her wedding but I know she understand it.
“Hello Auntie,” Christmas started as I answered the call.

I still did not get any from him since yesterday. I'm worried. I'm starting to overthink and I'm starting to freak out because Duke isn't like this. This is the first time he didn't come home without telling me the reason. I heaved a sigh and check all the messages I sent to him. I already tried to call him but he isn't answering my calls."Where are you Duke?" I asked in the air, looking at the beige ceiling.As much as I don't want to think any negative of his actions but I can't help it because this is not right.

[Christmas] My forehead knotted when I woke up in unfamiliar room. I circled my eyes around the place and I don't remember how I got here. The place was slightly filled with darkness and I only had a lampshade and a patio light coming from the veranda outside that giving me lights to see. I slowly sit down in the bed trying to remember what just happened.“Thank you so much for accompanying me here, Christmas.”“Anytime, Auntie.”“I hope you can forgive me.”“Forgive you on what?”“For this.”As everything flashes back to me, my eyes got widened and quickly get off the bed. “No, no, no!
