I wanted to see where was her phone pinged exactly while going back. When I saw that pinging I figured that she was at a shop for about 20 minutes.
This is the first clue I figured. I was really quite happy with this because this was the first question I got answer too because everything right now was a question and none an answer.
I looked for credit card transaction detail because it was a shop that too, high fashion boutique. I searched but no transaction showed her buying any dress of such. So why did she go there? If she bought something then she must require a hole lot of money which I doubt she had.
"Hey!!" Somebody called me from behind. I turned back to see Dave.
"Hi" I walked towards him.
"What are you doing here?" Dave asked.
"Umm nothing just some follow up."
"Had something today?"
"Not really."
"Then I highly doubt you have an option. Let's go on date."
"What!!!" I laughed.
"Well all our dinners have been dates from my side but I am officially asking today."
"How can you move on from your mom's death so fast."
"I didn't. I just think that she went away from her pain. With her illness she would not have anyways lived longer which would be full of pain but now she went away without much pain. She is free from that painful life and I can't be selfish enough to want her live through all pain."
That was the first time I ever saw someone so selfless with love and only love in his heart.
"Well.....I....Never took it that way."
"Normally people don't but I think we should. Anyways what are you looking at?"
"Oh yeah, I have to ask you. Did your sister ever had cash or any other method of paying which does not include any withdrawal from bank account."
"No way!!! She never carried cash and what other way might there be that won't require bank account transaction?"
"No offense but a boyfriend or sugar daddy kind of thing?"
"What!!!!!No way and why are you asking all this?"
I explained him that it took her way long time to go back home and her phone pinged a long time at one place which was a high fashion boutique but no transaction on her bank account.
"Oh God!!! She had a boyfriend? Oh good great!!! Who could it be? Maybe he has eloped with my sister?"
"Or Murdered your....."
"Let's ask her friends about it." Dave said cutting my line in the middle and ofcourse I didn't stop him to complete my sentence either because it was not really worth completing.
"You sure she would tell her friends if she didn't tell you?"
"We loved each other very true but one thing would be no girl would talk much about that stuff with the brother so maybe she had a boyfriend we never knew about."
"Okay. Well about the date thing I am sure we can manage something." I never realized what I just said but that would be because I wanted to say it."
That night we did go out and really bonded well. That night was my best night because it was really good. We visited a simple diner and not some restaurant on date. That food had some questionable taste but one thing that still was enjoyable was us together laughing. I realized that he is the one I have been waiting for and the reason I never dated or anything, it was for him.
Next morning I woke up with a smile and saw a message. I looked at it and the message said "Good Morning Beautiful."
I replied "Yeah sure beautiful with waking up....when are we meeting your sister's friend?"
"Seriously!!!!? I am thinking about so many things and you have to go back to that."
"We are talking about your sister, you are aware right?"
"Alright lady.....you will meet them at 11 in cafe rosa."
"Wait a second CAFE ROSA!!!! that is a luxurious cafe and there everything is fine star!!!!"
"Well Lisa's friends are from well known rich business families and they do normally get together in five star hotels."
"But I am not from their standards and sitting in the same cafe as them will not what I like."
"Oh come on!!! You can consider this as our second date. The first date was in a place of your choice, it is only fair if we have our second in my choice."
"But I....." Before I could even finish writing my text he wrote a message and sent it
"Hush now go get ready, I will pick you up. Bye bye."
"Wait!!!"
And no answer. I had to keep my phone away and go for my morning routine. Well nothing luxurious but just brushing bathing and a little skin care is enough for morning and I don't ever wear makeup so, no time in getting ready.
I was ready as usual by 8 AM and then went to my studio for work. We had atleast 5 wedding jobs scheduled next week. But this week is supposed to be relatively free.
Dave came at around an hour later at 9 and said "Hey"
"Hmm so cafe Rosa?" I looked at time and said him back "it takes 2 hours to cafe rosa?"
"Can't I come and meet my girlfriend?"
"That's a bold assumption after one single date?"
That is when a girl came in. She was in a weird black dress. The problem with that dress was it was neither beautiful nor sexy. It was just....a dress and nothing more. The face is what took us out.
I asked "Linda!!!?"
"Yeah?"
"Why are you wearing black? You hate that color." I asked her
"Well we need variety in our lives now don't we?"
I and Dave did get a little shock but then it is a person's wish to what they want to wear.
"Don't listen to her." Said a girl you came behind from Linda.
This time we were shocked to see a same looking girl as Linda walking towards us.
"You have a twin!!? You never told about her to us?" I asked
"Well she is not worth mentioning, really?" Linda said.
"Ummm ok but why she said she was you?" I asked
"Well she loves being me and irritating everyone." She said with an annoyed face.
I and Dave laughed at the two before Dave reminded "we need to go now it will take us around 45 minutes to cafe rosa from here. And look at time it almost 10 now so let's go."
Linda's sister asked "CAFE ROSA!!!? I so wish, I was her sister then I would take her place with this handsome hunk to a five star cafe."
"Excuse me.....?" I didn't know her name.
"It's Daisy." Linda answered with the same annoyed face.
"Right. Excuse me Daisy?"
"Excused."
"What the...."
Dave pulled me and said "Calm down darling and let's go."
He pulled me to his car and said "it ok let's go."
"But..."
"Jealous now? And you are the one who told me about bold decisions."
"Oh shut up!!!!"
We reached cafe rosa but the issue was "OMG!!!! this grand piece of building is a CAFE!!!!"
"Yeah. Come on darling."
"I think I should have wore makeup today."
"Hey, hey hey....it is ok you look good even without a makeup. All you need to do is look confident and you are perfect just like that." He said all that while keeping his palms on my cheeks and with a really soothing voice. He wanted to uplift my confidence. I had never been in such a cafe.
We entered and sat on a table where I looked around to see Dave was really comfortable and looked a real leader with an aura of smartness. He looked like he knew every single thing and really was taking care of me. Normally I really like being independent and not being much of taken care off but this was not really true because I was really enjoying being treated like a princess by my prince.
"What would you like to have?" Dave asked me.
I took a look at the menu and all of it took me aback because well everything was so costly and half of the menu was not understandable.
"You order whatever seems best to you dear."
"Umm okay...."
He was ordering while I followed all Lisa's friends come in. I called them in our direction. I was sitting opposite to Dave but when the ladies arrived I move beside Dave to let the ladies sit infront of us. They ordered and we started talking.
"Well you all must remember the college topper Ana?" Dave said
"Ofcourse we do." Bella, Lisa's best friend said.
"You suddenly called us here Dave? Everything's alright?" Brenda asked.
"We actually want to ask you something about my sister." Dave said.
Everyone there was taken aback and I saw all of their faces go down with the memory of their best friend.
"I know it is a little difficult but I am trying hard to find what exactly happened that day. So help me here please." I pleaded.
"You are solving Lisa's.....I don't even know what exactly to call it, a kidnapping or murder." Bella said
"Well I did a criminology major and now after aunt Lucy's death, I think if we don't find who did it then next might be uncle Brian or even Dave, who knows." I kept all my cards now on table.
I saw all of them a little scared.
"Alright what do you want to know?" Brenda asked
"Tell me if she had a boyfriend or something."
Lisa's Boyfriend killed her!!!? that is a nice theory but is it true? let's find out...
