Important author's note at end. Make sure to read it. I mean it, guys. It's important from the point of my story....

***********************************

I sat on the dining table, opposite to Patricia. This whole situation seems oddly weird to me. Everything is silent except the tinkling of spoons and forks.

"Your mom is going to stay, one more week at your aunt's." Mr. Wilson told Patricia.

"I think it's a good thing that she is not here today." She looked at me. "I don't know, if she would see Adam what would she say."

"They both don't look exactly same but there are some prominent similarities. Anybody can get confused." Jason said, shoving a spoonful of pasta in his mouth. They all are talking about me as if I am not here. Great!!! Should I say something?

"Are you enjoying the food?" Mr. Wilson asks me.

"Yes, sir. It's delicious." I wipe my mouth with the napkin.

"Good. I am done. I got a business video conference to attend. I should go." Mr. Wilson stood up. "Patricia, Jason! Keep your friend a company." He turned and walked up the stairs, disappearing into the corner.

"Well, I have called someone who can help find Anna. He is kind of an investigator. I think he can help. If you have any latest photo of Anna, give it to me and I will send it. Also, if you can give me your school name and the name of the hospital where Daniel worked, it could help too." Patricia said to me.

"Yeah sure!" I sent her Anna's picture, my school's name and the hospital name, so she can forward that to her investigator.

Patricia stared at her screen for a moment before she murmured, "She looks happy here!!!" Smile played on her lips. "She still has those rings."

"What rings? I never saw any rings on her finger." I raked my brain, remembering if I ever saw a ring on her finger.

"Not on the finger. Look here.!" She tapped her finger to zoom on the picture. "You see the chain that she is wearing."

"Yeah! She mostly used to play with her pendant but I never got any chance to see it." I remember, everytime she used to look at me, she would place her hand on her neck, holding her pendant. I always wondered about her pendant and now I know its mystery.

"The chain doesn't have any pendant. It has the rings. I am sure of it." She looked at me before continuing.

"The promise rings which Nathan and Anna gave each other. It was a platinum band with each other's initial on it. Nathan's ring had a 'A' and Anna's had a 'N'. Before Nathan was getting buried, dad took out his ring and gave it to Anna." She stared off in the distance. "Enough sappy talks! I am gonna go and talk to Nick about Anna. If you want, you can go and rest or Jason and you can go into the TV room."

"Yeah! that's a better idea. Let's go Adam." Jason said.

"Don't play video games!" She chuckled before disappearing.

"Let's go. TV room is this way." He walked straight and then turned right to open a door, revealing a big room. There was a wide screen plasma screen and a home theatre. There were shelves and shelves, with movies and books and of course, videogames.

"Woah! This is fantastic." I took in the view. Our house is big. I mean, there is a reading room, a piano room, we have four bedrooms and a swimming pool in the backyard. But this house is a freaking luxurious mansion. It feels no less than a hotel.

"The video game collection in my house is way better than this! These are only some of those which Patricia can play as well." Jason said, putting a DVD in the player.

"And she can kick your ass in those." Patricia said, entering the room and walking to stand beside Jason.

"Pfft! I was just going to say that babe." He hugged her and mouthed looking at me, 'I let her win'.

"I heard that." Patricia hit his chest while he just chuckled.

"So Patricia, did you talk to Nick?" I asked her.

"Yeah, he said that he will start to work and inform us as soon as he gets some kind of lead."

"Okay! I think I am gonna go and sleep. I have to be back tomorrow."

"Yeah, sure. Jason! We should sleep too. We have to go to café tomorrow to test some new dishes for the menu. I think we would have our breakfast there only." Patricia said.

Turning off the player and the lights, we made our way outside the room. I suddenly stopped infront of a door. It had a little piano picture pasted on it.

"Um, what is this room used for? Does it have a piano in there?" I asked.

Patricia and Jason looked at each other. She stepped forward and slowly turned the knob to open the door. She flicked the light switch on and the dark room filled with light. There in the corner of the room was a piano. There was a big king size bed in the center of the room. On the side of the room was a table with some books on it. The wall infront of it had several photographs on it.

"This is Nathan's room. Mom doesn't want to move anything from here. It has been still the same. The books are where they were. Everything is in its place. Everyday the room is cleaned and fresh bedsheets are put on." She said, her fingers grazing the books on the table.

I looked at the pictures on the wall. There was a picture of Wilson family. Nathan was a toddler, dressed smartly in a suit and Patricia is in her mother's hand. There was another which had young Nathan dressed in boy's scout uniform with other boys of similar age. There were so many pictures.

I caught the sight of a picture that I have seen before. The same one from Anna's house. There was Nathan holding Anna by her waist, looking and smiling at her. In one of the photos, Anna was riding piggyback on his back. Every photograph which I saw, Anna was either laughing or smiling. I wonder if I can ever make her feel that way again?

"Adam, I think I found something for you? Maybe you could use it to have insight about Anna and Nathan." She held a leather-cladded book in her hand.

"What is this?" I furrowed my brows.

"Nathan's journal. He didn't write daily but wrote the important things. The one he always would like to remember. I am sure, there could be some things you might get to know. He never let me read this but I am sure, at this time that he won't mind if you have these." She spoke softly.

"I am sure it would have the entry about when they first met, from where their story started. I leave these journals to you." She gestured towards a book shelf where several diaries where kept, looking similar as the ones in my hand.

"Well, good night then." They called exiting out of the room and leaving me alone. I opened the diary, my fingers moving along the pages. Flipping over the pages, I finally found the one that I was hoping for.

A/N: Hello guys! Who celebrated her 18th birthday yesterday on 23-08 and finally got into the medical school??? that would be me.... yaay! I finally got into medical school.!!!!

A big Thank you for being super patient with me. I appreciate it. It took me long enough to put this chapter.

First some important things. Thanks to @britbrat747 and @nonameless12. They both helped me with some of my questions and doubts. They helped me in establishing the time frame of my story. I was having a little trouble with it but know I think I have a fair enough idea about that. so, thanks to them again. I have said this before and I am gonna say that again. Make sure to check out their works.

So, let me clear the time frame to you guys also. This story is set in 2017 but let's just consider it in future months, just for the sake of the story (there is no future time travelling here). Anna joins the school in mid-session and they all are seniors i.e. in their last year. Nathan died in 2016, I am not specifying a date here. Anna's parents died in 2014, when she started her freshman in high school. and she also meets Nathan at that time. Adam and Anna both are 18. I don't know if there are anymore information that is relevant here. But if, you got any confusions or questions, feel free to ask them in the comment sections below.

I hope things get clearer as the story progresses. I am trying my best here. Please just be with me. to all the silent readers, please vote and comment. So that, I know that you exist and support me. Until then, Happy reading <3...

Question- I am having a bit of trouble. So, I need opinions. would you rather like to know the past in form of diary entry or in a flashback? If flashback, should it be Anna's or I have rather interesting idea to do it in Nathan's? but I seriously need you guys to help me with this.
