BEYOND LOVE
EPISODE 4
Since we visited the Investigator office three days ago, no development had been made about the location of the missing Investigator. The secretary said she had report to the police but she has not been contacted since then. I’m not that consign about my money that he I believed he looted away with but the location of Maya.
Based on the story narrated by his secretary, he found out something which he is yet to register and I believed that his finding could be the missing piece of the puzzle to find Maya location but seemed am being punished by God for all my sins because I don’t why it will be her of all people that could have been the victim of such happening.
Why would it Maya that will be missing. Just like a fish can’t survive without water, I can’t survive without her.
I’m very weak today so I can’t go to the police station so I picked up my phone to call one of the officer there. Even though, I had his number, this is my first time of calling him. Have always makes sure to go there in person but I can’t today.
Hello, I said. After brief introduction, I asked about the development regarding Maya case but he responded coldly. See, Mr man, why are you like this? Have already told you times without number that you should exercise patience. We are working around the clock to find her; so, just trust in us. He complained.
I trusted you. I replied getting infuriated. If I didn’t have trust in the police, I won’t be coming there every day. But on the case of me exercising patience, am I not patience enough? It over two weeks since she went missing but you are still telling me to be patient. What kind of patient is that? It not like am not even patience. I am just asking to know about whatever development you might have made regarding her case but all you can do is to start talking to me harshly. You don’t even care my partner is the victim here. You don’t care my emotional and mental state. That unprofessional from you, officer. I replied to him annoyingly.
Mr man, if you want sympathy, you should know where to go. All we can do here is to do our job. We are trying our possible best to find her but you not giving us breathing space won’t even allow us to carry out our duty as expected. If it affecting your health I advice you visit a therapist so you don’t fall into depression or get another girl. He replied nonchalantly.
I am not surprised by your outburst. I replied already worked up. If only we are seeing each other perhaps there would have been exchange of blows between because I know I won’t be able to control myself in this situation. Since the first day I tried to fill a missing person report but one of you guys told my maybe she is at another man’s house was the day have realized most if you guys were not fit to wear that uniform. You guys should be use to replace animals in zoo because there is no different between you and them except the fact that you are standing on both feet while they can’t. Even some animals are better than you. I actually lost my trust in you guys since the day I realized you people give out guns to armed robbers but I still believe there might be some good guys among you but you have proved my believe otherwise. I said to him before angrily hanged up the call on him before he could make another comment.
It seem I shouldn’t expect anything from the police anymore. They actually have never been helpful from the beginning but I still keep pushing for a miracle from them but it now certain have shattered whatever expectation ii might have from them with my uncontrollable outburst.
The magnitude of my action dawned on me. I can’t find the Investigator I hired and the police who were my only source of home have already been lambasted by me. What do I do? It seem the possibility of finding Maya drift further away every day. Every day, I wake up to a more saddening news. Since she went missing have not at all been myself. I am thinking, losing weight and can’t concentrate on whatever am doing. I am slipping into depression. No matter what I do to at least take her off my mind never prove fruitful. It already a week since have last been to work. Though, will workers will surely do the needful but other people eyes can never be like ones.
I sat on the floor besides my bed thinking. Since I ended the call with the police office, I haven’t move even an inch from the spot I am. Tears started streaming down my cheeks. I did not even make an attempt to stop it from flowing nor wipe if off my face.
Rapidly, my vision became blurry until everything became dark. It feels like am spilling in a large mine roller. There is no place I can hold unto for support. Precipitously, it all stopped as it was controlled by someone. Then a bright light shone followed with a figure of who I assumed should be a lady. She seem like the source of the light so I can’t actually make up who she is. The figure walk briskly towards me from the other end of the room.
When she is just ten feet away from me. She stopped. I looked up at her face which is now clearly visible. I am surprised to see Maya looking straight into my eyes. Her skin glow even more than the last time I saw her. Her eyes radiate liveliness. She stood there looking at me. I stretched out my hand so that she can take it but it seemed as if she is fixed to the spot. She opened her mouth but I can’t hear whatever she was murmuring as she isn’t audible enough for my ear to grasp.
