Chapter 7

“What kind of place is this” Daria screamed over the loud music playing in the bar.

“It's a club hun”Elena replied, already dancing and vibing to the music.

“its a strip club, look!” Daria screamed again, pointing towards the strippers in front.

“I know, relax have some fun” Elena screamed back, still dancing to the music. “We are celebrating your relationship, move your body” she said, leasing them to the bar stand.

“Martini on the rocks please” Elena requested, the bar tender. “What do you want” she leaned over to Daria, who looked very uncomfortable.

“Orange juice” she replied sitting beside elena. The bartender shot her a wierd look, “what orange juice? in the club?” Elena replied with the same look on her face.

“Make it two martinis” Elena informed the bartender, “what's wrong are you okay?” She asked Daria.

“I am just not feeling it tonight” Daria replied, “but you agreed to celebrate with me” Elena's face dropped.

“I know but…” Daria was cut off by Elena, “we will leave after our drinks okay” Elena suggested taking the glass from the bartender.

Daria threw her a subtle smile at her as she sipped her drink, sipping her drink she glanced through the club.

One drink turned to five more and quickly elena was drunk and dancing in the center of the dance floor. 

Daria was fed up and pushed through the crowd and grabbed her. “No!, let me dance”  drunk Elena cried out, as Daria took her out of the club.

“I love you so much, Daria” Elena suddenly screamed, turning heads towards both of them. “i know baby, get in the car” Daria replied placing Elena on the passenger seat.

Quickly Daria drove off, with a sleeping Elena. Using the navigator Daria drove past the same Cafe from earlier.

Immediately she stopped, the car and got down. For some reason she felt drawn to the cafe, like she had some kind of connection or memory to it.

Still staring at the Cafe her eyes caught the sight of the same woman from the airport.

Her short ginger hair danced in the wind as she, sat on the tables outside the cafe, there was a little resemblance which Daria couldn't help but ponder on.

“I have to go meet her” Daria decided as she walked across the street to the cafe, when suddenly Elena called out to her screaming.

“Daria, don't leave me please” she called out, Daria turned back around but the woman was already gone.

'where did she go?’ Daria searched for the woman but Elena kept calling out to her.

“I am hungry Daria” Elena cried out, her face turning to a frown. “Please!!” She continued.

“Let's go come on, stay in the car I'll go get you something” Daria replied, as she struggled to get Elena into the car.

“Be good” she added shutting the door. Daria went into a nearby store and picked some snacks for Elena.

And through the window the same lady, walked past the store and got into a red McLaren and drove off.

Daria couldn't stop thinking about the last the whole drive home, she dropped elena off at her place and gave her a drink to sober up and called her assistant to stay with her.

“Call me if you need anything” Daria instructed the assistant before she left.

On the drive home Daria searched for the lady but there was no trace of her, anywhere.

“Hey baby, come sit” her father offered as she walked past the dining room.

“Thanks Dad” she replied taking a seat at the table, “where is Adi” she asked serving her plate. 

“He's on a business trip” he replied, “he left this evening, he said it was urgent” he added.

“Okay”Daria paused, giving it some thought “dad, did I ever have a sister” she asked.

Jacob paused, as his face turned pale. “No you dont” he replied hiding his reaction, “why do you ask”.

“I don't know, I just..” Daria stopped, “it's nothing, I just felt like it would have been nice to have one” she shrugged her shoulders.

“Are you sure” Jacob asked, cleaning his lips with a napkin. Daria nodded in response “hm mm”.

“Okay I'll get to bed” hesaid leaving his food. “But you're not done with your food” Daria asked concerned, it was unlike him.

“I know I lost my appetite” he replied, placing a kiss on her forehead “Good night my baby”.

“Okay good night Dad” Daria said, as she watched him climd up to his room.

In Jacobs room, he quickly grabbed his phone and called someone.

“You said it wasn't possible but, she just asked be about having a sister” he said agitated.

“I don't how that's possible, but you could bring her in for examining” the doctor suggested.

“I can't do that, I can't risk bringing her back to that trauma” Jacob immediately refused, hanging up the phone.

He walked towards the drawer and pulled out a picture frame of a woman and two girls.

“I miss you so much right now” he said staring lovingly at the woman in the picture.

A tear rolled down his eyes and unto the picture.

Meanwhile at the dining table Daria picked up her phone and decided to video call Nicholas.

“Hey momma, missed me” Nicholas said as he picked up the phone.

Daria blushed, “how was your day” she asked trying to hide her red face.

“I missed you more than anything I did today” he replied “but I will be back tomorrow, so we will have dinner together at my place,get ready” he added.

“He is awake” Ludwig informed Nicholas over the call.

“I'll see you later momma, be good” he said to Daria as he,cut the call and took off.
