Looking For Clara

Looking For Clara

Everything all reflected back to her as she kept running in the dark. She was really so scared. So she just killed three people!!

She trembled in fear as she entered a dark place and found where to sleep tonight before making her way tomorrow. She does ponder what’s going to happen tomorrow.

But if actually, they’re all dead nobody will know what happened except they’re alive, and she has to be on a run starting from Tomorrow morning because she knows that her life is on the run.

But what if she finds her way to Donovan tonight? She was certain that he would save her and accept her in but that seems like a bad idea. She just can’t go back to him. No she can’t! She has to solve her problem by herself.

Clara enters the uncompleted building Which she has seen then sleeps on the empty floor.

The morning came so quickly that she was able to wake up by hearing the sound of the chipping birds whistling melodically through the trees.

She cleaned sand out of her body and stood up. She could have gone to that hotel which she had lounged with her grandmother back then because that was the place she had put some of the money which she stole from Donovan back then but she was scared of doing that.

What if the hotel people have seen the money now and they’re searching for her? So many thoughts were bumping through her head, so she decided to retreat some of them.

Wilson was very terrified and Frightened on hearing the bad news concerning his son. But he doubted the rumor until he had visited his son in the hospital where he was admitted.

Tears almost popped out of his eyes but had to hold it back on seeing the doctor. He can’t show his weakness to people. He’s a popular businessman who is known all over the country, so he can’t disgrace himself here or make people look down on him by doing such a thing.

“You’re his father right?” The female doctor asks because it’s actually obvious from their look. “Yes I am”.

“Okay! Good news for you”. Luckily, the gun didn’t hit hard on his Palm but although he lost the first short finger in the palm because the fingers pulled out immediately the bullet hit it, so I’m very sorry for that.” But apart from that, he will recover Very soon.

“But we couldn’t treat the other two guys that were brought along with him!!” They’ve already given up the ghost before we could attend to them.

He was very speechless on hearing what the doctor Said as he stood frozen for a while. Unable to comprehend a word from his mouth. “Do you mean to say that my son was shot by a gun?” He asks in Curiosity as the doctor nodded his head.

“Yes sir, and you should know that I’m only helping him because I know you! “Basically; we don’t treat cases we aren’t aware of and neither without the police attention, but I’m just trying to help you, so you have to understand”.

“So you mean the three of them were shot?” He asks again wanting to confirm this time around before making his assumption. “Yes sir “. The doctor replied, standing on her words.

“Alright! Thank you very much! Please do all you can to save his life and I promise to reward you at the end”.

“I will sir; please take a seat there! He should be awake any time soon! Do call my attention if you need anything! With that, the doctor left the hospital ward.

Donovan! A mischievous grin escaped his face as the thought of Donovan came to him. He’s the one that did this to his son! He doesn’t need a soothsayer to tell him anything about it because he knew that he did that out of revenge on him. But Donovan will regret it! He will regret messing up his life in the first place.

Clara was left with no option but to look for work in order to survive and also to travel out of this damn control filled with chaos to her. And luckily to her, she was approved to be a waitress in one hotel. And the pay was kinda okay.

Clara no longer bothers with the situation on how she will find food and shelter for herself as she sleeps in the hotel after closing then eats some of the leftover food which customers request her to Trash away. She couldn’t go back to Jane, her best friend or Donovan Because she knew that history will definitely repeat itself, and she doesn’t want such a thing to happen.

She was really so happy on knowing the fact that her matter wasn’t brought up on the internet which proves that Dennis was dead and nobody was able to tell about what had happened that night. In other ways, she was still going to get the hell out of here. She really can’t continue staying in this country because of the dangers attached to it.

Owen had been noticing the eccentric unfamiliar behavior Donovan had been trying to display for some time now, and he really doubts it if this was all about Clara. And here’s him just sitting down quietly, thinking about something which he found so strange.

Good afternoon master!! He greeted him but got no response from him until he got close to him and that was when Donovan noticed his presence as well.

“I’m really concerned about how strange you’ve been acting for some time now, it’s everything really Okay?” He asks as Donovan nodded his head without saying a word.

Please talk to me!! I’m really damn fucking worried about you okay? “Is this about Clara?” Do you miss her? Do you want to see her?

Donovan’s look at him jokingly and scoffed as he nodded his head. “Don’t ever talk about her in my present and how can you even suggest Such thing?” He was really furious at Owen for making Such statement.

“Okay alright I’m sorry!!” He uttered then bit his lips as he walked away.
