Love is blind

CHAPTER - 4

Chapter 4.

It's been 4 days since I came here. While living here I learned what real family is. What is the love of parents and how they take care of their children? It is a blissful feeling that I have never felt. Being an orphan, it is a big thing for me, to get all of this from strangers. 

I have been provided all the facilities by Mother and Father. She does not allow me to do any work, and from time to time she comes inside the room and asks me if I want anything or not. Usually she is busy with work throughout the day, and both Mom and Dad work in the office. I heard that they have their own business. 

But as soon as she comes home from work, she immediately enters my room to check if I am safe or not. I understand that her daughter had tried to commit suicide after all, and she does not even know that she is dead. She thinks I am her daughter. So this fear is still sitting in her mind that I will try to commit suicide again. She also hesitates to leave me alone at home, but she has to do work as well.

I spent these 4 days comfortably in this big house. I have only worked all my life and have never rested like this, so I feel like I am a cat that only lives at home and eats and sleeps. I feel bad too. I do not feel good that I am just doing nothing in my life, in the name of some other girl. I still wonder where my body is.  After all, what happened to me?

I was reading some books in my room, which were not mine but Alice's. Mom said that Father's sister gave it to me as a welcome gift so that I will not be bored in the house alone. What a show off! I do not know why I think that she is the one who pushed me in that room that day. When I ran out of there and could not see anyone, I saw she was outside, waiting for me in the car. She is weird. She smiles at me  and plays a cute act of Dad's little sister, in front of Mom and Dad. I asked Mom for her age.  Mom said that she is 2 years older than me. This means she is 24 years old. 

She seems strange to me because many times I saw her entering my room without permission. Even at times in my absence she enters the room.  Normally I do not come out of my room. Most of the time, I stay in my room. I do not understand her. She is not doing anything wrong with me but she is not what she shows. Sometimes she says weird things, like she is testing me. I think she is thinking that I am acting and I remember everything. 

I do not want to quarrel with her because all these things are not related to me. Whatever things she says to me, I do not understand anything and I am not willing to know. I have no relation with all these matters. I just want to spend my life away from all this s**t.  

“Anna!” I heard Mom's voice and looked at the clock and saw that it was time for dinner. She must have been calling me to eat. I immediately came out of my room and went towards the dining table. I reached it in a few seconds as I was very hungry, but today the atmosphere seemed different.

I took my place like I did not notice the odd feeling and found that both Mom and Dad were smiling upon seeing me, and Mom had some papers in her hand. I started eating food without any question, but I was still nervous. What is the matter? My eyes were on the papers. 

Alice also came and gave me a fake smile in front of my parents.  I just want to slap this little b***h who plays cute in front of her brother, and acts like she is just the cute little sister of his who takes care of and pays attention to her elder brother's daughter.  I am just tired of her acting. I know she does not like me. She is acting. Does she think if she smiles at me then I will believe her? As I was focused on my food, suddenly Mother started talking to me and I looked at her.

"Anna, someone came to meet you," Mom said and gave me a big smile. I looked at dad and he also smiled but looked behind me. I followed his eyes and saw a very old woman was entering the dining table.

"Mom!" Alice was shocked to see her. She hugged her. now I understand she is Anna's grand ma.  

"Brother, why you did not tell me that mom came?" Alice was getting angry on. Dad. He only laughed but I noticed that grandmother's eyes were only me as she was trying to say something. Grandma took her place in the middle chair.

“Mom this is the papers that you asked me for," the mother said to grandma. She handed her the paper.

"I want to talk to Anna alone," Grandma said and food stuck in my throat. her voice was dangerous and she was sounding serious. Why she wants to talk to me alone? everyone left the room but Alice was still there.

Alice was sitting in front of me but she looked more nervous than me, and she wanted to know what was written in these papers. I looked at her and realized that she was thinking something. No, she was looking scared. 

“What does this paper relate to? I also want to know about it,” she asked the grand mother and grandmother smiled at her.

"Alice, did not you hear I said I want to talk to Anna alone?!" grandmother said and she sounded dangerous this time like she was warning Alice. she looked scared of grandmother and nodded her head. she had to leave the room like mom and dad.

"Anna, my child do you remember me? I am your grandmother," she roamed her hand on my head lovingly. I smiled looking at her only. She will be said if I say I don't remember her.

"This paper is the property papers. I know that you will go to the office tomorrow so I have transfer everything in your name. I will die soon and I loves you too much,  so I left everything to you," grandmother told me and as soon as I heard her, my jaw dropped. she placed the papers in front of me. I became millionaire in few seconds!!!

"But why? I hope you know I do not remember anything. I am sorry but I do not want your property grandmother," I said while giving her back but she stopped my hand and gave me a serious look.

"I know you do not remember anything because of this I have come. I want you to remember everything that happened to you before at any cost!" Grandma said and looked angry and said both.

"But why grandma?" I asked and she placed her phone infront of me.

"This is the message that you send me 2 days before your suicide. you are I was talking about few things and you wanted to share something to me but I had something to attend. you could not tell me and after 2 days I got the information that you committed suicide," Grandmother said and few tears come out of her eyes. I moved closer to her and wiped her tears.

"why are you telling me about this?" I asked and she looked around before getting closer to me.

"I want you to find out who is behind your suicide? I know you very well. people says that it was a suicide and maybe it was true but I am not ready to accept it. you were my brave daughter. there must be something big that you could not handle and could not tell to anyone because of this you choose to commit suicide. I am sorry that I was not with you the day when you needed me. I wish I could hear you so that I could change everything in your life. I want you to remember Anna, why you committed suicide and who is behind all of this," grandmother said and I could sense the seriousness of this matter.

"the way talking to me I think that you to doubt someone," I said to her and she smiled at you.

"see, did not I tell you you are my brave and intelligent daughter. you are absolutely right. I doubt my daughter, Alice," I was shocked to hear grandma. she was doubting her own daughter.

"now I will not able to meet you soon because I have to leave the country but I want you to find out everything,"she said and I nodded my head but there was still confusion in my mind.

"but how can I find out about this?" I asked grandmother and she get up from her seat.

"you need to make your way. it all started and ended from the building of your office. you need to go there and find out. at the same time you need to remember your signature. I very well know that you do not remember your signature and it will create problem. Alice would take advantage of this in front of lawyers. your mother also thinks that you remember your signature. you have to hide it from your mother and regain your memory as soon as possible before it is late," she said and I nodded my head. she hugged me tightly and kissed my cheeks.

"I believe you can do it," grandma said and when outside of the dining room to meet mom and dad who are waiting for her in the hall. but suddenly as she was about to reach near the door she turned back and looked at me.

"this is all your property Anna. no need to give up and no need to share it with like you always do. she is behind this property," grandmother said and walked out of there. I did not went out of the dining table rather I was hearing everything that was going on in the hall. grandma announced to everyone that she transfer all her property in my name.Alice was fighting with her saying that she is the right owner of the property not I.

There was tension in the air. They were thinking I would run away if they gave me too much stress about the business or anything. Alice was using the strong point saying that I do not know Anna's signature. But if they think I will run away then I will be caged in this house. I will never be able to go out. I will not be able to go anywhere. No! I can not let this happen. I need to do something. I will die in this house. 

as I was about to enter the hall grandma immediately handle the situation and give a angry look to Alice which was enough to make her mouth shut.

 "this is my property and I will decide who will handle it! I am also not giving it to your brother and he has no objection about it then why are you the only one who is affecting? Anna is your niece and if she is handling my business then why are you getting angry? why is it bothering you?" grandma asked her and it was enough to make Alice mouth shut.

"I am asking something Alice?" grandma demand an answer from her and I saw Alice face as she was about to cry.

"I am sorry mom," she replied this and ran towards her room while crying. mom-dad and grandma noticed me standing near the hall. grandm asked me to join them for coffee. everyone was acting normal and no one was paying attention that Alice was not with us or not.

"Soon Anna will remember everything and handle my business," grandma suddenly speak to mom and Dad. and I got nervous.

“Really? you will remember everything? And you will go to the office too?" Dad asked me and I said yes. Both of them were looking at me anxiously and wondering whether they should believe me or not. 

"I can understand the concerns from both of you, but I do not remember anything about my past. While I don't remember anything, there is no need to worry about it. And trust me I will remember everything soon. I will let you know why I was depressed too, and trust me when I remember I will tell you the main reason for it too! And I promise I will not run away when I go to the office." I said this with a sweet smile, and as soon as Mom and Dad saw it they were convinced that I was recovering my memory. It was good that I handled everything on time. I should act like i am remembering everything, which is a great lie. grandmother smirked at me and I smiled at her. she was happy with my acting and doing this I just now gained her trust.

i will not Alice snatch anything that is Anna's. I will go to the office, and I will really not run away. I do not have any place to go anyways. 

Everyone was happy and smiling, except Alice who just now glared at me through her window. after staying only for 2 hours grandma went back. I came to know that she is on business trip and song she will get retirement from her position of chairman. she was really strong woman. she gave me can motive to live my life and find out what happened with Anna.

After finishing the food I went to my room, thinking about what I just did at the dining table.

I told a big lie. I have to dig into Anna's past. I have to find her documents and see how she used to write and sign. For that I have to go to the office like she used to. I have to follow grandmother's strategy. I can not ask Mom for this. I will go and look for her signature everywhere. Going to her office is the only way to save everything, or her aunt will grab everything. 

Only, eating and sleeping like a lazy ass in your own room round the clock is very suffocating. So it would be better if I continue in the office. Well,  it is a great opportunity for me. I just don't know what Anna's subject was. I was an art student, and good at my studies. What kind of work does she do in the office?

I was in my room thinking about all of this when Mom came to my room soon after. She said that she wants to take me shopping, so that she can buy new clothes for me.  

I was very happy to hear this because the clothes of this girl were so bad, that it seemed that it was the clothes of an old aunty!  I can not bear to wear it anymore. 

Today I saw that money really speaks. These rich people are really something. They do not care about money and spend it like water.

She also took me to the shopping mall and asked me to buy the clothes there. I selected some clothes of my choice, but she also purchased some clothes of her choice. She bought me at least more than 20 clothes. I was very surprised to see all this, but I saw that she looked very happy so I did not stop her. I let her do what she wanted. 

She even bought me an iPhone!

I never dreamed about buying any expensive phone and she bought me this. I refused her, but she did not pay attention to me and gave it to me anyway. I had to accept it.

We both came back after shopping. I was lying in bed and thinking about my life. My life changed so strangely in these 4 days that I did not understand why this was happening to me.

Suddenly I have family, parents and they love me very much, and a mysterious aunt who hates me the most. I have a lot of property and business, but I don't know Anna's signature. I don't know what new twists life is going to make.

 In the morning. 

After taking a shower in my room, I was coming down the stairs and heading towards the dining table. Before going to the office, Mom told me that she had prepared breakfast for me and she ordered me to eat before going to the office.

As soon as I reached the dining table I saw that Alice was already eating there and maybe she had finished the food. She got up from her place and looked at me from top to bottom.

I did not pay attention to her because I was now looking forward to eating. I was very hungry. As I was about to pick up my food, suddenly she came close to me and she picked up the plate and threw it in the trash can. I was shocked. I saw everything and as soon as I was going to speak, she started laughing at me like a witch.

“Oops… I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I hope My niece will not take it to heart,” she makes fun of me and apologizes and starts walking away from there. She picked up her bags and went out, but she stopped and turned and looked at me. 

“Looks like you have to go to office on foot as usual, because I am going to take the car with the driver.” 

Hearing her talk, my blood was boiling. I was not angry that she was going by car and I had to walk to the office.  Walking is my childhood habit. I don’t have any problems with that, but I was angry that she threw away the food. She didn't even know the importance of this food.  

I saw my food lying in the trash can and my blood was boiling even more. I never thought that she would throw the food in a dustbin. I drank a glass of water and went to the kitchen. I was looking for food, but it seemed that she knew that I would go to the kitchen in search of it, so she probably hid all the food somewhere or she did something to it all.

I don't understand this girl. What type of game is she playing? It seems that she is jealous of me too!

I was changing my clothes and wearing my One piece. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw that this cloth looked very good on me. It was totally my style. I admired myself, but I was knocking this hair so much, which used to come in front of my eyes again and again.

I had thought of solutions for this hair yesterday, when Mom took me shopping. I brought a lot of clips and rubber bands. 

I entered the bathroom with my phone and scissors. I watched a lot of YouTube videos at night so that I learned how to cut my hair. I played the video and after watching it, I started cutting my hair. I cut my hair like I used to keep my hair before, in the same hairstyle. 

I came out of the bathroom and I looked at my hair in my mirror. I had my hair cut off very well. I was happy with my work and also satisfied. 

While walking on the road, I had my phone in my hand because I was looking for a way to my office through Google Maps. This city was new to me, so I did not know the way to the office. After walking, I reached the building of the office and I put my phone in my pocket. Entering it, I was watching everything very carefully and eagerly. I saw many people calling and many people were talking and forming their group. Maybe it was not time to go to the office.

Although there were a lot of groups present, one of those groups looked familiar. Alice was standing with them. At the same time, I noticed Alice was standing with her friends and having her coffee with them. On seeing her, I closed my eyes in anger. I did not know that she works in this office. If I had known, I would never have agreed to come here. I turned my eyes and did not look at her. I don’t want to fight with her here.

Just five seconds after, I was going to the other side, I felt a pain in my arm and I looked back. It was none other than Alice.

“What the f**k is wrong with your clothes and hair?” she shouted at me and I pulled my arm from her gripe. She was releasing her anger on me.

“Why? What’s wrong?” I asked her.

“Why have you changed your hairstyle? Why is the length of your dress short, and not like below the knees?!” she asked, and I saw the length of her dress was too short. It seems if she bent over then people were going to get a good view of her ass. And she was daring to give me a lecture about my hair and dress. She irritated me like hell. 

Is she trying to control me?

“I don’t remember anything. I wanted to change my style. I would not take your permission before doing anything,” I said and she gave me a dirty smile.

“Do you think that by showing your face and ass you can attract more guys to f**k you?” she asked, shocking me. What kind of things is she saying? But I rolled my eyes.

“Go to your friends ! And show your ass to them, not me,” I said and smirked at her. I walked away without looking at her. This girl really wants a tight slap from me. I could feel her angry gaze following me. 

 As I walked towards the office canteen, a smile came to my face. This is what I was searching for! I immediately ran towards the office canteen and saw that there was a lot of food. I immediately ordered some food and sat on the chair; now I feel good, because I was very much in need of food. I was very hungry. Luckily Mom gave me pocket money too. Right now I am a beggar. Well, she gave me a card too! It is all really too much for me.

After some time, food came in front of me and I was using my phone while eating; it is one of my habits. This phone was very good, or maybe it was because it is expensive. So I was seeing a lot of functions and features in it, which is new for me. 

"Oh my God, Anna? Is it you?" I heard a girl call my name and I raised my head and looked at her. She came running towards me in high heels. I was very surprised to see her running in high heels. I was also wearing high heels on my feet, and I was having difficulty walking in them, but this girl was running as if she was in the air. 

"If you were going to come to the office, why didn't you tell me? You must definitely want to surprise me. I'm so glad to see you coming back to the office," the girl told me. I was trying to remember who this girl was but it was my stupidity. I was unable to recognize this girl because it is not in my memory.

"Sorry but I didn't recognize you," I told the girl and she looked surprised. 

"So is it true that you lost your memory?" She asked me while holding my hand. I understood that everyone present here knows about my accident. And at the same time they know that I have lost my memory. It was good information for me because through this I can continue the drama of losing my memory. I nodded. 

"Oh no… It is a big problem. It shouldn't have happened at all," the girl said to me in a worried voice, and I do not know why I was feeling the danger in her voice.

"What happened? Is there a problem?" I asked the gir,l and as soon as I asked my question, she removed her eyes from me as if she was hiding something.

"No, no problem. I was just saying this. Well, my name is Julie," she told me with a smile, and suddenly her face turned white. I saw that she was looking behind me. I also looked in the same direction. A tall man was getting out of the car. 

"Come here!" The man called a woman to him and the woman stood up to him in fear. I don't know why the atmosphere suddenly seemed strange. 

"Have you done the file I asked you to work on? Show me." The woman was showing him the file as soon as he ordered, but her hands were trembling. 

"What's wrong darling, why are you shaking? Do you need me?" Saying this that man's hands approached that woman's ass. 

My eyes widened with surprise to see that he just grabbed her ass like he owned her. He did it in front of everyone and no one was paying attention. I do not understand what is going on. At the same time my eyes were fixed on that woman, who was only standing in front of him and shaking. She was not doing anything. I was about to get up from my place but suddenly Julie stopped me.

"I think we should go from here. It is time to walk in. At the same time I will tell you where you used to work," she told me in a hurry.  Rising from my place, I turned back and looked at the man and woman, but by then both of them had left. With my purse and phone, I followed Julie.

On the way, Julie told me that she works in the same department as me. Julie told me that she and I met many times on the way so she knows me but the way she talks it seems she knows too much things about Anna. she showed me my department, my feet trembled with fear. Because it was the accounting department. This meant that Anna worked in the accounting department. I am dead! I was an arts student. Now how I will work here?! 

"Are you sure I used to work here?" I asked the girl again, and she was smiling and saying yes to me. My jaw dropped in fear. 

"You have to go in and sit in the fifth seat. That is your place," she told me and I nodded my head.  She left, but left a bomb in my head. I did not go in, and instead I sat in the chair kept outside the department. I could not understand what I would do now.
