Uneasy Feelings

Andrew

The housekeepers had told me she left that night. I was worried sick and had kept trying to reach her but I couldn’t. I was going to go off in search of her but mum wouldn’t let me. she pleaded I stayed back cause’ of my leg and the fact it was already dark. She was certain Anny would call before the day ran out. I accepted because I knew she was right. It didn’t make me feel any better though. She’d been left alone. Maybe an emergency came up.

I felt hurt too. Anny and I had a beautiful moment that night at the party. Although we didn’t get close after that, something had begun between us. I had been happy and confident about it, till now. If she wouldn’t inform me of sudden departures, then our relationship would be built on weak ground.

My mum’s reassurance kept resounding in my ears as the night progressed and yet, no sign or call from Anne. I tried calling Vincent. His wasn’t going either. I simply assumed he was on call. My anxiety level was now climbing the ceiling by
