Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

I didn't think about the girl after that day", Eve said. Dr Ali

wrote something in her note and looked up. "Was there something different about her?" She asked. Eve sighed. It was

going to get difficult from there onward but she had to help

herself, or she would be looking at life in prison as a life had

been lost in all this. "Nothing other than the usual bruises on

her body and the way she was walking" Eve replied "I thought

it was just another case of domestic violence. That night, I

saw the blinking light again and decided it couldn't be a

prank. No one would be consistent with a joke like this, so i

made up my mind to check it out"

"I left my house that night and took the small part way

that led to the Aransis' house. The neighbourhood was quiet

and I was a bit scared, but I was outside anyway. The window

the light was coming from was open and a thin curtain

fluttered giving me an opening to see the room within. The

room was neat and precise, nothing out of place. My view

showed a reading space with a neatly organized table. This is

a child's room, I thought. Then my gaze went to the name on

the door "JOSHUA" . It was faint but i have a good eyesight

and the room was lit. But why is a seven-year-old pranking

me? I pondered. Now I was upset and thinking of what to tell

his mother. I was about leaving when some movement caught

my attention. Someone was coming to the window! I'm about

to get caught!! All these thought ran through my mind. What

would the community think of the new student in their street?? A stalker! Oh my God! I've finally disgraced my

family

"Who did you see at the window?" Dr Ali prompted Eve.

The turn of events was getting intriguing. "Josh" Eve blurted

"he stood at his window with a note plastered to his window "

HELP HER!!" he had written.
