Chapter 1
Alice
"Roseie,I am going.I can't stay here!"I called for my best friend.But she was almost drowned into alcohol.We are in a club.Actually She dragged me here.Ew,I hate this place.Some were dancing,Some were drinking,Some were doing dirty stuff.But I didn't drink anything as I can't tolerate.
Roseie again showed me her infamous puppy eyes & started whining, " Please,Just for some moments.pleaseeee!"
I rolled my eyes,"You're saying it till I told you to go home."
"Please,please,please!"
I sighed,"Fine!But for 20 minutes straight."I glared at her.She smiled & went away.
I again ordered a glass of orange juice & Started investigate sharply what the barman is mixing.I mean someone also can mix something in my drink.The man handed me my glass & I started drinking.I jolted up feeling a touch in my shoulder & saw a boy is pulling my next chair to sit.I didn't look.
"Hello,beautiful." He tried to flirt.
I looked at him,"Hello old man." I smiled innocently.
He widened his eyes,"What did you say?"
I mentally rolled my eyes,"I understand, an old person can't hear.It's okay."
By now he was burning in rage, "You should do your eye check up."He tried to play & I also tried to play along," I already went there three days ago."
He scoffed & said,"Then why can't you see the handsomeness in face,baby?"
I pouted angrily,"Am I your wife's newborn baby?Why are you calling me baby?"
He smirked & said,"So my baby is innocent.Don't worry I can teach you many thing."
I scoffed loudly looking at him."First,I am not your child nor your wife's.Second,I go to my school - college for learning & I do have teachers to teach me.Moreover my dad already teached me half of my things in my childhood."
"So-"
"Get up from here!Don't you have wife or girlfriend waiting for you.What are you doing here?"I asked.
" It's none of your business."He said.
"Didn't you call me your baby,a few moments ago?& doesn't a child has all rights to ask her father a question?" I also threw.
"God,please shut up!" With that he went away."Good for you." I mumbled.I checked my watch.2 minutes left to be 20 minutes.I got up from my seat & started going towards the crowd,searching for Roseie.I found her dancing with a man.I went near them & snatching her hand from the tight hold.I drangged her outside.She was still dumbfounded.We reached infront of our car.
"What is it,Alice?"
"It's already 20 minutes." I said as I opend the car door & sat on the driver seat.She sighed & sat with me in the passenger sit.I started the car.
"So?" she started.
"So?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Did you meet anyone?" She asked with a smirk plastered on her lips.
"Hm.With an ugly ass."I replied focusing on my driving.
" Eh!How can you say ugly ass?He is extremely handsome."She said.
"Ok." I said.
I drove the car infront of Rosie's house.She got off & waved at me,"Bye Alice.See you tomorrow."
Then something clicked onto my mind.I quickly started the car & drove to my house in fast speed.My mind was blank.I couldn't feel anything.I parked the car in the parking area.I ran to my house & went to upstairs to the room.The room which was made for 'Memory'.
I pushed the door inside as I let myself in.It was clean.I always make sure it is clean.The photos which were hanging on the wall,brought tears in my eyes.It's the room which was full of photos, cards,paintings & many other usual things.I sat on the floor as my legs gave up.All the bitter & sweeter memory flashed infront of me.
Tomorrow,21 September.The Black Day for me.
I used to had a friends group which were known as Redpark.We were 6 in numbers.We're like a brother sister.Not my blood- related but by heart related.The strange thing is we six don't have any parents.That's why we all live together here,happily.But it didn't last long.It flew away.It's all started from 6 years ago.
Flashback
(6 years ago)
9:00 pm.
Today is 21 September night.Everyone was happy.Elders were cooking while some were in the pool,swimming.They are 6.Alice,Jisan,Ria,Jennie,Jihan & Liona.Ria,Liona,Jihan,Jennie was elder.Alice & Jisan was younger.
"Everyone,come!Dinner is ready."Ria & Jennie called everyone.Alice & Jisan also heard the voice.So they quickly went to their room to dry themselves.Then they went to the dining hall for having their dinner.After dinner,everyone washed their own plates & gathered in the living room for watching movie.Everything was going smoothly.But suddenly Ria got up.Jisan noticed and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I am coming from the photograph room." She said smiling at her little brother.
"Okay,come quickly." She patted her head & went away.Everyone noticed it but their attention was on the movie playing on the screen.It was already one hour & the movie was about to end.Suddenly Alice noticed something was missing.
"Guys!Where is Ria?" She asked frowning as she noticed the time.
"Didn't she said,she went to the photograph room?" Jihan asked.
"Hm.But it's been one hour already." Alice said.
"What?!" Liona shouted.
"It's okay. Calm down guys.Maybe she is in her room,sleeping." Jisan tried to assure.
"Whatever you say!" Jennie & Alice shouted together.Jisan rolled her eyes playfully.
"Let's go, I am sleepy!" Jihan yawned stressing his arms.Everyone got up from the couch.
"Alice,take the water bottle to Ria's room.She left it here." Liona said handing Alice the water bottle.She took it from her and started her way towards Ria's room.
At first,she knocked on the door.But got no response.She again did the same thing.Still got no response.Again & again she was doing the same thing.But the answer she got is silence. She clenched her fist & pushed the door inside to see the room was dark.Alice turned on the lights.The bed was empty.
"Where is she?" Alice mumbled.
She Knocked on the washroom door,"Ria!Are you there?"She shouted.But the answer was same. Silence.
She huffed & again shouted,"Look!I'm not in the mood to play hide & seek.Just take the water bottle or I am leaving it in your night stand.Good night."Alice turned around to leave but the inconvenience never left her.She again said,"Gosh!Ria.Enough of playing, now come out.please." suddenly the door of the room wide open revealing Jisan.
"Why the hell are you shouting?" Jisan asked annoyed.
"San,I can't find Ria." Alice said.
"What do you mean?" Jisan asked.
"Since I came here,I am shouting but got no response."
"Ok,calm down.Let's search." Jisan said calmly.They started searching.The room was quite big.
It has been 20 minutes.Jisan huffed & sat on the bed.Alice was standing with a tensed face.
"Wait here!I am calling others." Jisan said as he left for his work.Afrer some times,everyone gathered in Ria's room.The two younger explained them everything.
"Did you check the photograph room & the other room?" Jihan asked.
"No." Alice asked.
"Then why the hell are you standing here.Go!" Jennie shouted.Everyone started searching.But Ria was nowhere to be found.
"Where did she disappear out of nowhere?" Liona said.
"I don't know.I don't have good feeling." Alice asked with almost teary eyes.Jennie immediately hugged her."It's okay.Let's wait till morning.Okay?"
Morning came.Usually the morning of Redpark is full of joy,laughter etc.But today,everything was a mess.The members of Redpark didn’t find their lost sister yet.They didn't sleep at night.Hunger was nowhere.Jisan & Liona spend their whole night infront of conputers for tracking or searching.They are legend at hacking.Alice spent her whole night by talking with police officers.Jennie contacted with every person they know.Jihan went out at night searching for her.Tears were rolling down from their eyes like a rivar.
"What will we do now?" asked Jisan crying.It’s been half an hour since he started crying.
"I don't know...." said Jennie laying on the couch."Did anyone ask the caretaker?"
Alice sighed deeply."I did.But no use."
Since that day no one knows where is Ria.Is she alive or death.Redpark tried their best to find a hint.But they miserably failed.Next year in the same night,Liona disappeared.Redpark lost their two parts of heart.Then Jihan,Liona.Last year, Jisan also disappeared from the same room,same night.
I am left now.And today is my last day probably.I think I should be prepared for vanishing.I started crying touching every photo of ours.After jisan disappeared,I tried in every way to at least find a trace.But No!Like always I failed.It was started with Ria.Maybe will finish with me.Who knows?But I am not afraid anymore.I don't why everyone went to this room before disappearing.It's kinda strange for me.Do that mean,I will also come here before vanishing.I...I won't.Yes!I won't come.I have to live for finding the reason.The six company which is famous throughout the country is controlled under me.It's so hard for me to control other five company along with mine.We built our own business.I can't let go their hard work off.I always try my best.But will happen to those, when I also disappeare?
Next day
(21 September)
I got up from my deep sleep hearing the alarm's annoying sound.It's my last day here.I should get ready.After doing my morning routine,I had my breakfast.I called my lawyer for settled down everything.The company matter is setteled.Many asked me why was I resigning.I just avoid their question.Two young lady & four gentlemen will take over the business.I already sent all the important papers to them safely.& also told them many secrets of the company.They invited me for dinner.But I politely denied saying it’s okay.I know one thing that the reporters will appear infront my house holding papers & cameras.It was already time for lunch.I decided to go out enjoying my last day.I got ready for going to orphanage.I ordered many gifts from them which will directly reach to the orphanage.One more information,I linked the six company with every orphange of our country.Half of the benefits of the companies will go to the orphanages.I also hired some loyal people before completely giving the company to others.When the children will grow up,the first thing they have to do is settled them down & help them to find a job.Then leave them in their own way.
