As Anna came down the stairs, she sat on the couch with her hands locked, praying that everything goes fine. She hopes that her best friend gets her happiness.

But then the maid came near her as she politely asked her, "Mrs, do you want something to eat? I shall bring tea or coffee for you?"

"A cup of glass would be fine. Thank you for asking." Anna also answered in a soft tone to which the maid nodded her head and in the next few minutes, she brought a glass of water for Anna which she drank in one go.

At last, when she looked at the maid who was still standing there, Anna understood one thing as she opened her mouth, "Do you have something to say?" 

Although she knew that, it was not her place to talk to the lady about the concern about her but as they both were alone, she had to ask her because she had noticed in the maid's eyes, the eagerness to say something a lot but she was hesitant.

"N..No.. I mean... I have seen Young Master for the last six years and how he always acted. He rarely comes to this home and the Elder Master is very much disappointed by this." 

Anna frowned. 'What has this to do with me? And Elder master? Who is this Elder master of the family?' Anna had many questions and without wasting any time, she asked the maid. 

"Elder master...?"

The maid cleared her misunderstanding by replying back, "He is Young master's father and the person, who is the heresy of the family. Most of the important decisions are taken by him and right now, he is living in the adjoining house." 

On her way, she did see the house that was beside this one and knew it was much bigger than Jack's mansion. No doubt he is the superior person in the family and everyone addresses him respectively. 

'But Jack doesn't seem to like him. He called his father an old man?' But Anna was in no place to ask about their sour relationship.

"Maybe because he doesn't like the environment here? It is his life and as his friends, we can only guide him on the right track. Aunt...he isn't any child. He is already thirty-two this year and he can make his own decisions." 

Anna tried her best to sound calm. She knew that her words might hurt the lady but this was still the easiest way she used. Each word she used and selected was intentionally selected.

"I got it. But I hope that the Young Master finds someone in his life so that his dull life can be more colorful." But then the maid herself realized that she had spoken more than what was needed.

Hiding her face in embarrassment, she further continued and changed the topic, "I have to.. take care of the dinner. I will leave." 

Anna didn't say in return but only smiled. She knew that the lady was simply concerned over Jack's personal life but there is no one to decide for him.

'I should once call Alena and check on her.' The thought suddenly came to her mind as she opened her phone to dial her number, which First didn't connect.

But when she tried for the soon time, the call went through and a sleepy voice was heard, "Alena? are you there?"

"Hm.. what would I even do? Anyways did you find Jack? Please tell Meyers! Is he alright?" Hearing Alena's eager voice to know more about Jack, Anna gulped nervously.

She knew that this was wrong. She wished to tell Alena the truth but somewhere, her eyes drifted to the upper floor where Jack's room was situated.

'If I say that he is alright, won't her hopes to become higher, and what would happen if Jack doesn't go to her wedding tomorrow?' A tight lump was felt in her throat to reply to him back.

"Anna? What happened? Can you hear my voice?" Alena's voice brought her out of the daze but Anna knew that she had to reply. 

Taking a deep breath, she opened her mouth to say.

"I...I'm still searching for him. But till now, there is no news of him." 

SILENCE

SILENCE

Anna knew that this might tug her heart very deeply but this was the only way, in which Alena will not get hurt much.

If she made fake promises, it will be much worse than the heartache she will feel right now.

With a dry smile on her face, Alena laughed half-heartedly, "Do not worry, I trust that you will find him sooner or later. I should try his phone, maybe he will pick my call or reply to my message." 

"Alena" 

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you the timing of my wedding tomorrow. It is around eleven in the morning. Be on time and witness how I get ruined. Goodbye, now, mom is here." 

Alena didn't want to talk to Anna right now. Her heart was aching and paining so much that she laid on the bed with her dried eyes.

From the very beginning, she was continuously sobbing for the last two days, hoping for a miracle to happen but it looked like God wasn't on her side at all.

She tried everything she could, confronting her parents about it, tried soothing talking but nothing worked on her behalf.

It was as if, the whole heaven was against her and her wish. Everyone Is Happy I the marriage except her, the bride. Why? Why can't she just let it go and everyone simply understands that this isn't made for her?

The only thing that was now left with her is to wait for Jack to appear, although her hopes have already died down till now.

With her eyes fixed on the wedding decorations that were going on in the house, she hoped that she could die.

'Come back to me, Jack. Save me from this..'
