Chapter 5 Luke And Adrian
900 Words
I went through all the bags and then started unpacking my things into the Chester drawers again the wall closet the the closet.
As I was packing, I see something in between the folded clothes.
I pulled it out.
Its a picture of me and a boy.
I seemed genuinely happy in this picture.
He is holding me bride style in his arms.
We seem to be in a park or something.
But I don't recognize him.
I flip the picture over.
There's a date and a name.
11/07/2020
Luka, Maya
Forever.
I was looking at the picture again and found it odd that I had this in my drawer hidden in my clothes.
Maybe he was my boyfriend?
Maybe Nana didn't allow us to be together?
I have literally just stumbled onto my first clue to my past life.
I placed the picture in my wallet and continued unpacking my things.
The closet is so full of things and boxes I might as well just unpack it and see what can ne tossed.
As I am about to take out the boxes Nana rush in and stop me.
Meha... No.... You can't... Please leave them in the closet, now isn't the right time... Please... "
Nana seems genuinely worried.
So I put the boxes back and hold her hand.
" Nana, are you sure I didn't have any bad habits or friends or maybe... A boyfriend? "
Nana's eyes shoot up at me.
She seems to know exactly who I am talking about.
" Meha... Please forgive me for my mistakes my child, but if the police gets involved in this matter I might lose you for good, please Meha just forget about anything you find...
I tried to get rid of all the old memories but I seemed to have missed something."
I looked at Nana and I can see the fear in her eyes and the trembles in her hands.
She is really hiding something from me.
She takes my hand and we head down to the kitchen.
She made a few dishes which she said is my favorite.
We eat our dinner, do the dishes and head to the lounge to have our tea and watch some tv.
Suddenly the door bell rings.
Nana was about to get up but I am closer so I get to the door first.
I opened the door.
There is a handsome young man standing in the door with dark black hair, peirceing blue eyes full red lips staring straight at me.
I looked at him up and down than turned to call Nana.
I was heading in when he suddenly grabbed my wrist.
"Maya..."
His voice is deep, it makes my whole body break out in a sweat.
I look back at him and can't understand what's happening.
He definitely knows me but the audacity he has to grab my wrist.
I pulled my arm free.
"Look here Mister, you might know me, but I sure as hell dont know you so back off."
I am stunned at my words and at his shock.
I walked away as I see Nana head to the door.
I sat on the sofa and continued watching my drama.
I could hear them talking.
" Adrian, why are you here, you know Maya Just got home a few weeks ago and Aiden is alos still lurking around .. If he finds Luka.. "
" He is dead Nana"
I listen to them in silence.
"what do u mean... Adrian... Luka called me a few days ago... He was fine.. What are you.."
I hear the Adrian talking again.
"Nana, calm down... Can we talk inside?"
Nana,looks over at me than back at Adrian and invited him inside.
They disappeared into the house.
Isat there trying not to be to suspicious aboit what theu might be discussing but to no avail.
I was about to get up and go look for them when Adrian suddenly appeared in front of me.
"Maya... Um sorry... I am Adrian... Nana is like my own grandmother and we all grew up in the same house... We are like family... I didn't know how to face you after the shooting and..."
Adrian was still talking, but I just wasn't interested.
I walked past him and went to look for Nana.
He stood there dumbfounded.
I find Nana in her room.
She looked like she was crying.
I walked over and sat next to her.
" Nana are you okay? "
I asked as if I didn't hear what Adrian said aboit Luka being dead.
She took my jands and held them tightly.
"Meha, I am so happy you dont remember much... Or else.."
She stopped talking.
"Or else what Nana?"
She shook her head.
"Nothing... Dont mind me.. I am just being sensitive."
She literally shut me down and git up and went to the kitchen.
I followed her.
Adrian wasn't here anymore.
He must have left qhen he saw I wasn't paying attention to his so called sad story.
I helped Nana with dinner, did the dishes and went upto my rrom.
I sat on my bed and looked at the picture of Luka.
What the hell was I really involved in.
How is Aiden and Adrian and Luka connected to me.
Why was Adrian saying Luka was dead
And why the he do I feel like Aiden is in the middle of it all.
