Pandora was hell worried, it was almost Kate, she has promised to return home immediately they were through with what they had in school but it was getting late already. Her parents were worried because they haven't heard from her since she left and secondly her line was not connecting.
Don't you think we should go to the school and check on her?
Let's wait for thirty more minutes and if she doesn't come after then, we won't hesitate to visit the school. Donald's wife sat down to face the wall clock as she counted the number of times the clock hands moved on the surface of the clock.
" it's twenty minutes already, I don't think she will come, let's go for our daughter.
Be patient a little, she might be held in traffic or probably on her way. what if we miss our ways?
I don't care Donald. if you're not going with me, then I'm going alone. I'm going in search of my daughter.
Joanna! Joanna!! Donald called but she walked away without looking back, she jumped into her car and zoomed off. Donald was left with no other option but to follow her immediately. He got there before her, he entered the school premises but it was so quiet.
Donald, Donald, and Joanna called as she alighted from her car. " where is our daughter? where is she? Donald answer me. she pleaded.
I just arrived here, lets' search for her together,
But it seems there is nobody here,
just be patient Joanna, I'll ask the security that is here in the school.
Excuse me, sir, Donald said.
Good evening sir, how may I help you?
I'm Mr. Donald, I'm a parent of Pandora and she attends this school.
yeah, Mr. Donald, I can recognize you.
Did the vacation of the college hold here today? He asked.
No sir, it didn't hold here. but the students gathered here and a bus came to pick them to the venue.
Where is the bus now? has it been returned? Joanna quickly asked him.
Yes ma'am. the bus returned about two hours ago. I believe the students would have gotten to their destinations by now.
what? Did you see my daughter?
I'm sorry sir, but I'm not familiar with her. He told the couple as he walked away.
Donald, what do we do? Joanna asked her husband, her eyes were already teary, she knew what she went through before she was able to get her daughter and this is happening.
The teacher in charge of the vacation was called and she gave her version of the story.
" what do you mean by what you just said, sir? Joanna asked in rage.
" I have just given you an account of what happened. your daughter wasn't seen on the school premises nor was she at the vacation venue. That's all I have to say, ma'am, Thank you. He told Joanna for a second and then he switched off his phone.
Donald, let's report to the Police, she told her husband.
Yes, dear, that's what we will do immediately. They went to the house to get a picture of their daughter but as they hurried out to leave, they saw Pandora walking hastily to the house. She doesn't look like someone tired of the day's activities. Her mother rushed to embrace her.
Where have you been and where are you coming from? Donald asked her.
Donald please, she has just returned. Let's not stress her that much.
Joanna, don't you dare interrupt this conversation. Pandora, I'm asking you a question and I need an answer immediately. Where have you been all day?
Pandora bowed her head, she doesn't want to see the anger on her father's face, she just wants to feel it. He heard the steps of her father moving towards her.
I went to look for your daughter, she told them.
My daughter? Donald asked in response and he also turned to look at his wife. What is she saying?
Whom did you go to look for Pandora? Joanna asked as she walked to the side of her husband to look at her very well.
I went to look for Gabriella. Your long-lost daughter.
What? How could you do such without our knowing? Joanna asked her daughter.
Mummy, I went to look for the daughter you loved so much, I feel lost whenever I'm in this house, I don't feel your presence anymore. The only time I see you too is when we want to have breakfast and after that, we don't see again till the following morning.
Donald's heart melted when he heard those words from his daughter. what she was saying was nothing from the truth. Since he tried to expand his business, he has had little or no time with his family. The only time he gets to see them is at the breakfast table, although he works with his wife in the same company they barely see each other because of some complications they had at the office and now his daughter is complaining about it.
Nevertheless, he won't let her know that he is pained about what she has just said. he won't allow her to win their time because if he does, she will repeat this same action.
Pandora how can you look for Gabriella without letting us know about it. Gabriella is gone, you are our only daughter Pandora, nothing changes that forever. Joanna tried to console her daughter.
Pandora, I understand that we no longer spend time with each other during these recent months, I have tried my best to explain what is happening at the office. My job is taking my time for the main time. But all will be well soon. I'm trying so hard to put everything in other.
Don't you ever leave this house without telling us where you went to? Your mother almost fought with the person that is in charge of the one-day vacation. Donald paused for a while because he noticed that she wasn't paying attention to what he was saying.
