Chapter 38: Chapter 38

BRUCE

I was already awake at 5am because I didn't really sleep well, since I was already awake, I got up and made my own coffee while I was sitting in the kitchen, I was looking at Simoune's picture. I hope you're okay Simoune, I hope I can see you now because I don't know what to do anymore. I want to hug you and be with you again

Why do you choose Vince out of so many men? Well, I'm here. I've been here for so long, Simoune, but you haven't even seen me or you just really don't like me? Hey, I don't know!!!

I decided to go outside to get some fresh air, when I sat down outside, I immediately noticed that Lucy got up

"You’re to early" Lucy said

"I can't sleep" I said

"Is that so? Alright, I'll just make my coffee and I'll come with you" Lucy said

She went straight to the kitchen to make coffee. It's a good thing that Nanny Lily and I are close and Tito and I are quite close because otherwise, I wouldn't want to sleep over here, I just did it for Simoune.

After a while, Lucy sat next to me

"Where is Simoune, right now? How is she? Has she eaten? What happened to her?" Lucy said

"I don't know, we will have to wait another 4 hours before the mall opens. After that we will know" I said

"I hope we can see her, Simoune is also lucky and she has someone like you who is very patient in everything" Lucy said

"Of course, you're lucky too! And I'm your friend!” I said to her

"Is it really lucky?!" Lucy asked

If it wasn't for my friend, I might have ordered her

"Why not?" I said

"Hmmm... maybe it's okay?" Lucy said

"What's okay?!" I said

"Maybe I'm lucky too" Lucy said

"Well you must be lucky! It's a shame that I'm going to bring gas to pick you up!" I said

"That's your obligation as my friend!!" Lucy said while pointing me

We were surprised when Nanny Lily suddenly spoke behind us

"Are you awake yet? I'm going to cook so you can eat later when we leave" Nanny Lily said

"Thank you Nany Lily!" Lucy said

Nanny Lily went to the kitchen while Lucy and I drank our coffee at the door of Simoune's house

"After we eat, take a bath!" I said

"Yes! You want to take a bath now?” Lucy said

Even when actually talking to Lucy! After drinking coffee, we decided to join Nanny Lily in the kitchen, we sat on the chair while she cooked

"You know I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about Simoune, I've been taking care of her since she was a child so I cried a lot because now she's in danger" Nanny Lily said

"Almost all of us are worried Nanny Lily, the first thing we should do is pray that Simoune is safe" I said

"That's right, so last night I did nothing but pray. I told Lord, Simoune is a very kind child, so I hope Lord will save her" Nanny Lily said

"I didn't sleep well either, because I was thinking about what she was doing right now and it's ugly to think that we are able to sleep soundly while she wanders around wherever she happens to be" I said

"It's really embarrassing for me to fall asleep right away" Lucy said

"It's okay, I know you were also very tired yesterday from finding Simoune" I said

"I will try to call Simoune again, maybe this time she will answer" Lucy said

She took her phone and started to call Simoune but her phone cannot be reached, so we did nothing but wait for 9am to go to the mall and see the CCTV

"Oh here you eat first" Nanny Lily said

"Thank you Nanny Lily, we need it now because there will be doing a lot of searching later" Lucy said

We started eating, suddenly the door of uncle's room opened and he came out

"You guys are already awake, I talked to the owner of the mall and he allowed us to go there at 8am so we can go to the mall earlier" uncle said

"Great uncle, did you sleep?" Lucy asked

"Actually no, I called my acquaintances who can help us like the police who will come with us later at the mall" uncle said

"Eat first uncle" Lucy said

Uncle sat next to me and his face shows that he cried last night

"Even though Simoune is stubborn, you still love him, don't you?" I said to uncle

"Of course, even if my daughter Simoune doesn't like me, I'm still her father. She's the only one left for me, that's why I love Simoune so much" Uncle said

I feel that uncle is in tears because his voice is red and shaky

"Since I found out that his mother was cheating on me, I have asked for nothing but to raise Simoune and send her to an expensive school" uncle said

"Simoune is super lucky for you uncle, she hasn't realized that yet" Lucy said

"I hope she realizes that" Uncle said

Uncle smiled at us then she spooned the food and then ate. Lucy and Nanny Lily and I have already eaten so that we can get ready earlier

"Do you have any clothes?" Nanny Lily asked

"Yes there is, we took it last night from our houses Nanny Lily before we came back here" I said

"Is that so? Alright, I'm going to take a shower because I want to go with you where you're going" Nanny Lily said

Nanny Lily immediately went straight to the restroom and took a shower while uncle was still drinking coffee and eating while Lucy and I were still eating

"If your Nanny Lily isn't done yet, you can go up to the bedroom of Simoune to take a bath" uncle said

"Alright, I'll take a bath there" Lucy said

After Lucy finished eating, she went up to Simoune's room and took a shower. I know that she took a shower there because she just wanted to make up HAHAHAHA. After Nanny Lily finished taking a bath, I entered the restroom.

I took a shower and got dressed right away when I left the restroom, Lucy still couldn't get off. It was said that Lucy bathed very slowly but it's okay because it's still early

Uncle is no longer in the kitchen so I feel that he has already taken a bath. After a few minutes, Lucy came down carrying the clothes she was wearing earlier

"You took too long to take a shower" I said

"At least I take a shower! And of course I still put on makeup! So that I'm not haggard when we look for Simoune" Lucy said

“Gosh! You just took too long" I said

"I want you to be quiet!" Lucy said

I checked my phone because Simoune might text or call but nothing was there. I also looked at the clock and it was 7:30am which is really good and the time is fast as if it was just 5am, later it came out that uncle had said that

"Are you ready to leave?" uncle said

"Yes uncle!" Lucy said

"Sir, can I come with you? I can't rest here knowing that Simoune is missing, sir" Nanny Lily said

"Alright, Nanny Lily, if that's going to calm you down, go ahead" uncle said

"Thank you sir!" Nanny Lily said

"Uncle whose car are we going to use?" I asked

"Maybe it's just mine so that yours doesn't run out of gas" Uncle said

That's right uncle, so I don't run out of gas all the time AHAHAHA We got out and went to uncle's car. I sat in the front seat and Lucy and Nanny Lily sat in the back

While we were on the trip, I couldn't get the worry out of my mind

"I hope Simoune is safe uncle" Lucy said

"Don't worry, Simoune is safe, and I hope she can wait for us" uncle said

We quietly went to the mall and the police were also there, when we got to the mall, we immediately went down to go inside and see the CCTV

"Thank you sir for helping us find my daughter" Uncle said

"Nothing sir, part of our job is to help" Police said

We entered the mall and went to the CCTV room to watch what happened yesterday

"Sir good day, what time is your daughter missing?" Mall staff said

Uncle looked at us like he didn't know what to say so I held Lucy close

"Around lunch time? That's it" Lucy said

"Alright, where was she when she disappeared?" Mall staff asked

"It's outside the mall because that's where she's waiting for us because we were supposed to meet" Lucy said

"Alright, I'll check the camera outside" Mall staff said

The mall staff is fiddling with the camera and editing the time to really see how Simoune disappeared. It was only a few minutes before they saw the clip of Simoune's disappearance, so they immediately showed it to us

"Sir, this is the clip you are looking for" Mall Staff said

We immediately looked at the CCTV and saw on the camera that someone approached Simoune and took the phone and closed her mouth. After that she was taken in a black car whose plate number is 359-UCJ. When I saw it, I immediately looked at uncle

"Uncle, we just need to track this car and then after that we will know where Simoune is" I said

"Alright, I'll just call my acquaintance who knows how to track cars" uncle said

Uncle went out to call his acquaintance while I was getting the copy of the clip of Simoune's disappearance. I thanked the mall staff then I went out and went to my uncle

"What, uncle, are you going to meet your acquaintance?" I asked

"Yes, everything is settled, let's go" Uncle said

We boarded and went to Tito's acquaintance's place

"What happened? Do you know where Simoune is?" Nanny Lily asked

"Not yet, but the plate number seen on the camera will be tracked and after that we will know where Simoune is" I said

"It's good, I hope we can see Simoune" Nanny Lily said

I was thinking of nothing but seeing Simoune. I have been very worried about her for almost a whole day that she has been missing, We can't even sleep well looking for her and I hope we can find her

When we arrived at the Location, Uncle, Lucy and Nanny Lily and I immediately went inside

"I was going to track a plate number to you, will we know the location right away?" uncle asked

"I'll try my best to find it right away" uncle’s friend

"Thank you, this is his plate number 359-UCJ" Uncle said

We were just waiting for his tracking. I'm almost restless because I want to know where Simoune is. I know that uncle is the same with Simoune, I know that he is also worried about Simoune

DADDY OF SIMOUNE

When we got to Fidel's house, the uncle’s friend who knows how to track plate numbers, I immediately talked to him

"I was going to track a plate number to you, will we know the location right away?" I asked

"I'll try my best to find it right away" Fidel said

"Thank you, this is his plate number 359-UCJ" I said

While waiting I couldn't wait to see Simoune, she is the only child of his mother and I will not allow her to be lost. I know I missed her so much and I’m blaming myself why she’s missing, but maybe I’m not the reason why I lost her now

I hardly slept last night thinking about her. I'm calling everyone I know just to help us find her. It's good that she has friends like Bruce and Lucy who are willing to help me find her

I hope we see you son, I hope you are safe wherever you are, Simoune.

NARRATOR

So Simoune's daddy brought Bruce, Lily and Nanny Lily to Fidel to track the plate number they saw on CCTV, while they were waiting, their faces showed concern for Simoune. So Bruce tirelessly walks in and out of Fidel's house while Lucy is holding the phone and trying to call Simoune.

While they were waiting for the result, Nanny Lily cried because she was so worried about Simoune they almost never raced to find a trace of Simoune's disappearance

Can they see Simoune? Can they save it from Mila's Dad? How is Simoune? How long will they search for Simoune?
