A mother-in-law who loved her more than anything in this world.And she could be- No, she was the reason she was in danger."Young Madam, you're here!" In the waiting room, an old woman stood up.Nanny Mary hugged Zaria. Slipping into a familiar embrace, Zaria felt calm and her breathing turned even. Her voice was very low, lacking energy."I don't see Dad here.""Old Master Anderson is with the doctor discussing Madam's tumour."Zaria sucked a breath."What happened to Mom, Nanny Mary? How could she collapse all of a sudden?"Nanny Mary's grip on Zaria loosened and she sighed."Old Madam... She was thinking very hard these past few days. Her expression was also not happy. Perhaps she was under some unknown stress."
Lost 101: The Suspicious Nurse
"Excuse me, Miss?" Someone shook her. Blinking her eyes open, she was greeted by a man in a white coat. She was a little dazed."Huh?"The light was encircling the place when she came to her senses completely and moved her neck which hurt. Sleeping in a chair and that too on a cold night with no blanket made her body freeze in some places.Albeit the area she was in was a secluded corner– away from the hospital, still, she could hear the faint bustling of people, the stomping of their hurried feet, and the sounds of wheelchairs screeching on the floor.Last night it was all too quiet that she forgot she was in a hospital and slept. One short nap became a thorough sleep and the long night evolved into a day.Her phone buzzed.Mumbling an 'excuse me', she checked her phone to see 6 missed calls from home and got worried."Hello?""Ria, we're trying to reach out to you but you weren't answering." Nanny Mary's voice filled with concern greeted her. "Is everything alright there?""Yes, yes
Lost 102: Lost Memories
"Sofia, so you have finally decided to leave this house for good?" A loud voice sounded in the room, and soon the smashing of objects followed. Her little sister, Abigail winced. To her, it was a norm. Her mother's hysteria, coercion, and in the end, her guilt. Abigail sighed. She knew what the outcome would be if she let it continue. "Yes, I want to leave, and I will leave." Sofia was hell-bent. One of the reasons she wanted to escape was this. Ever since he left, her mother was never the same. For years, she tried to get her mother to accept reality. That she had to learn to live without him. However, it all went in vain. Her mom never understood. He was her everything to the point that her daughters had no value in her eyes. Everything started with him. Everything also ended with him. "You aren't going anywhere! I dare you to leave!" "Watch me." Sofia shrugged. "No! You can't leave. You will not leave." Helene Roderick grabbed her daughter's arm. A hysteric glint flashed i
Lost 01: This Seemed Rather Important
"Wake up, sleeping beauty!" The birds chirped outside the glass window of the room of Anderson mansion which belonged to none other than, Zaria Smith. The rays from the hot sun glazed the window glass, greatly. Too shiny! It made her stir in her sleep as she quickly yanked the light pink quilt over her head. She was seconds away to close her eyes again when she heard her maidservant, Elizabeth Jones, commonly known as Lisa in her friends, called her out. "Ria, come on, get up! It's afternoon already." Of course, it was a lie. Madam Anderson had told Lisa to wake Zaria early today. Lisa knew Zaria would not awaken that easily. Elizabeth and Zaria were the best of friends of the same age. They did not care about the master-servant relation between them. What mattered to them the most was their strong friendship which had been built
Lost 02: How About You Find That Out
As Zaria made her way to the kitchen, she saw the kitchen maids hurriedly working like machines. She was baffled. It was not like that the maids slacked off usually, but it was strange today. What was going on? "Hey, Felicia, what's going on?" She asked another maid who she considered her friend, but Zaria's relation with her was not that strong as that of hers with Lisa as they were bosom friends. Felicia, a sweet little girl with bright orange hair and chubby cheeks full of freckles, was seventeen years old, working as a part-time servant at Anderson's mansion to unhinged the economic burden of her parents. She was a high school student, but her hard work still could not be compared with most people. She worked hard to earn with good and fair means. Felicia was startled to see the young miss up so close. Not that her young miss looked like a creep wh
Lost 03: I Hope My Babies Are Safe And Sound
When Aunt Mia refused to tell her anything with a smile, Zaria guessed that the person coming at the Anderson mansion was not that much of a significant figure in Mia Anderson's eyes. After all, only some people could catch her aunt's eyes. In her mind, Zaria simply just did not want to pay attention to that stranger because she was growing green with envy as she kept looking around. She could not bear anyone receiving the treatment as her. Because of that person, everyone was playing riddles with her! She hated riddles. She liked everything easygoing. That was one of the qualities of her Elian. He was easygoing, so she also loved easygoing things. Easy to have her hands-on, easy to read, easy to understand, easy to see, and easy to get along with. 'If that whosoever guest were to be a pers
Lost 04: Strange Man
She reached the man in no time. Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned. She now believed it was all true. What she felt right at this moment was like a mother whose child was being bullied by the big wicked monster! "What a daring person you are! You, strange guy, what have you done to my baby!? Don't you know you can't touch someone's possessions? I must say you dare to do this. Wait, just let me call someone here." The man was flabbergasted to see a girl dashing toward him with puffed cheeks. It was normal for him to receive proposals from the foreign girls whether the adults or younger ones when he was abroad studying and would be approached with peculiar strategies which could make any male have shivers, but this time this girl's eyes had nothing but wrath for him. He felt addled for a moment, but then he realized the little flower pot in his h
Lost 05: It's You!?
He stood there, dazed. He did not expect the spoilt girl he thought would apologize to him this easily. No girl could ask for forgiveness this easily, or admit that she was at fault. He could proudly say that he was experienced in this department. Seeing her embarrassed expression was an amusement for him. He wanted to see that more often in the future. Would that be called bullying? He realized he was still grinning. Perhaps, that was because he had come back after so many years? He shook his head and took steps near to his haven. Thousands of memories came by in his mind about this place. Nothing had changed. It was all the same. The familiar air, the familiar feeling. It was the place where he took his first steps, the place where he learnt to go to school from; th
