There is another….

A silent day all to yourself can be an open key to the mind. Our brain likes to think in just two pathways, however if there is more than one we need a few moment to think for it. It is easier to solve a problem with extra different answers when you are alone in your own place. Alya put the key in the locked door and opened it. The room was dark, she put the key in the small cabinet beside the door. She walked towards the bottle green curtains and opened them to let some of the lights in a few of the dust particles flew from it. She looked around, “ Ah I need to start dusting in a bit.” She put her back down and decided to leave the cleaning for today, she changed her clothes to a more comfortable dress. She walked in front of the stove and put a pot of water on it and looked at the cupboard on top of it. “ Which flavor of tea should I have today?” She took the red colored packet. The tea bubbled in the water. The phone rang she picked up the phone and quickly ran for a scarf and threw her coat down she quickly took a broom and picked up the broom. Jane, “ Alya where have you been? Alya laughed nervously, “ Sorry Ma I was cleaning.” Jane, “ Cleaning didn’t you just arrive today?” Alya looked around to get some excuse, “ Ah it is really dusty I forgot to close one of the windows properly.” This made Mrs. Jane angry she started scolding her daughter for being careless. Alya had to hold the phone a few distance away. There was screaming going on with the list of disasters that continued for a long time. “ By the way I heard you had a bad headache last night.” Alya smiled putting down the broom, “ It is alright mother I was a bit stressed that is all.” Jane, “ I heard there has been a situation in your trip. There was an article in the morning news.” Alya, “ I am not sure about it Ma, I heard about some problems I guess it was something not serious.” Mrs. Jane continued her talk. Alya was distracted with other thoughts invading her head. The situation solving this quickly did not satisfy her. Alya thought of something, “ Ma where is James?” Jane, “ He would be back tonight you need something?” Alya, “ Nothing mother I just need a little help in the upcoming presentation. I was going to get some pointers from him.” She put down the phone and took the tea from the stove. ‘ Maybe James can….’ She debated whether she should call or not. ‘Maybe I am thinking too much, maybe there is nothing else left.’ The scene of Iliana talking came to her head again. She quickly pressed the button and called James. The phone rang twice before he picked it up. James was in the office he looked the same stern and neutral. Alya, “ Hey James how is everything?” James, “ As you can see I am working so everything is as it goes.” Alya, “ Well I am glad to hear that. Listen I called to ask about something.” James looked at her, “ Is it something to do with the incident that happened in the hotel. Where you were?” Alya almost dropped the teacup, “ How did you guess that? I did not say anything.” James, “ I know about it from my sources. There was another call. I also know about what you are trying to hide with your scarf.” Alya, “ Ahhh well this is nothing. But is it true? Was Iliana involved in something?” James, “ I do not now about that person. However, Sir’s young son is not involved anymore. Like last time.” Alya felt a bit confused she is sure something is getting hidden in this conversation, “ Meaning ?” James, “ He is being observed and trained to become a better asset to the company. He is not even in the country. His punishment has being severe.” Alya tried to imagine what he means but decided that it is hard for her, “ Well that is a good thing right?” They went silent for a while. She was deep in thoughts again. James broke her trance, “ Alya are you feeling alright?” Alya smiled discarding the thoughts quickly for another time, “ Yes brother nothing to worry.” James, “ Listen I will not be able to stop you from getting into this. But you know when to step back right?” Alya, “ Yes I know do not worry.” She cut the call. ‘ I was thinking right there is another person involved. The problem is how do I make others believe it? And worse who is it ?”
