Chapter 5: Searching My Love..

When she started opening her eyes, only bright light is what she saw. She tried to remember something. She just wished that whatever happened last night was nothing but a bad dream.

She turned her gaze to look at the person beside her. Hector was lying over, half naked and the rest covered in a blanket.

Naira got up. She looked at herself. She was feeling used, helpless and unloved. With the painful tears, she grabbed a blanket, went to the washroom, and freshened up. Then she came out quietly, took her briefcase, started packing and without informing anyone she left...

When Hector woke up, he found himself alone. He first got changed, surreptitiously exited the hostel, and went looking for Naira everywhere.

***

Already a week had passed and he could find her nowhere. He was broken down. But he realized that Naira should not be at blame. He regretted everything he had done. Only if he would use another way to show his love...

He asked his men, his bodyguards, to look for Naira in the entire city. Every morning he would go to college, forced to listen to lectures, and as soon as the classes were done, he took his car and his men and went around looking for her.

One year had passed looking for her in California. Hector gave his exams and got graduated. He now wanted nothing but to look for Naira elsewhere. But his businessman father forced him to join his company. With no other option, he worked for his father. He worked day and night and after 4 long years, he became the CEO.

Even when he was working, in any possible way, looking for her, he couldn't give his 100%. But now, he could do as he want. He decided to go and personally find her.

He asked her friends, her relatives, and everyone who knew her, but the result was the same. He had to spend another year behind, looking for her. His motivation was now diminishing. At last, with the last hope, he decided to visit her mother.

"I have been looking for Naira everywhere. Three years after she disappeared, one certain day, I received a message from an unknown foreign number. It said that it had transferred me 10,000,000 dollars. I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought that it was a fraud, so I checked my account to find the amount. I had received the money. At that time, I felt that it was Naira, so I traced the number but it turned out that the number got expired. This secret helper kept on sending me such huge amounts every month, with each time different numbers. If you can find Naira please look for her. I am greatly worried for this girl. I fear she is in great danger because every night I hear her screams. And a mother can understand every emotion of a child. Please, sir, help me find her." Pleaded her mom

"Mam I have been looking for her for the past 6 years. You were my last hope of clues. Though you yourself have no clue, whatever you said has given me a little hope. I will search for her, ma'am. Do not worry. I will find your daughter and keep her safe." He said

"But.... May I ask, who are you?" Said her mother at last

"I am a soul searching my love." He said and left
