SERIES : the missing key (episode 3)

(EPISODE 3)
*********
“You can stare at me from now till
tomorrow but you will never find the
key on my face. I expected that by
nowyou should know thatthey key
is not here and start searching for
it in other sections of the house.”Dad
said in anger'“I know I kept the key
here and none of the kids are with it.
I believe this is the only place the key
should be.” Mum replied defensively.“Maybe a ghost
came to this house and took it. You are
very sure that you kept the key here
and it is not here yet you only concentrate on
searching the same place; are you okay?

Look woman, you and your
daughter should stop embarrassing
yourselves and search for this
key in other sections of the
house.”“Ada, go and look around your
room and if you don’t find it go into
Linda’s room, while I search in our
bedroom, I will also check the kitchen.”
Mum instructed Ada as they both
dispersed. She was silent because
somehow she felt guilty that itwas
her fault that this was happening.Dad
followed her into
the bedroom and
they both continued
to search the room
in silence. Dad
hadn’t looked at the
time since thelast
time he did. I think
he was afraid of
what the time
might be.His special
meeting was by
nine o’clockbut he
was supposed to
have a short
briefing with one or
two staff and his
boss before
thedignitaries who
were supposed to
be present at the
meeting arrived. He
hadin his
possession, the
most important
document
thatwould be
needed for the
meeting and he was
supposed to discuss
some points with
his staff and boss
before the meeting.
Without
thedocument, the
meeting won’t
hold.The silence in
the room was
scary. Mum knew
that this was more
serious than
anything. She
decided to check the
kitchen as it
wasobvious that
the key was not in
the bedroom.She
walked out of the
room into the
kitchen. The key
was nowhere to be
found. She came
back into the
bedroom. Dad was
sitting onhis bed. He
was facing down as
he supported his
forehead with both
hands which rested
on his laps. She
feltpity for him and
afraidfor
herself..“You know,
I think you are doing
this deliberately,” he
said. The key was
nowhere to be
found, the blaming
game must take
anotherdirectio n. “I
don’t know why
you are doing it, but
you are trying to
make mego crazy. I
am trying to know
what I have done to
youto deserve all
this.”“Why would I
try to make u go
crazy?”“You tell
me.”“Well I have
nothing to gain by
making you stay at
home and discharge
your tantrums on
me. I kept the key
where it is normally
keptand …”“And a
ghost came and
took it.” He cut in, “I
never knew I had
ghosts in my house.
You must have
planned this either
with the kidsor
alone!”Mum was
getting angry with
his accusations; she
didn’t want to
continue the
discussion. So she
heads towards the
exit of theroom,
“You can say
whatever you like
but I believe the key
is somewhere in
this house and it
shall be found and
then you will leave
for work with your
troubles.”Ada
entered John’s room
after she had
finished searching
hers.“What is it?
Why are you
entering my room?”
he rudely
asked.“Don’t you
know that we are
searching for the
lost key? Everybody
is busy trying to
locate it, instead of
coming out to help;
youisolate yourself
in your room.” She
replied.“Leave my
room, the key is not
here. I am not with
the key. What will I
be doing with it
here; please you
guys should leave
mealone. I am not in
the mood for your
problems.”“Lookat
the dirty room you
are telling me to
leave, you are not
even happy I am
stepping my legs
into this refuse
dump.”“Thank you,
my room is a refuse
dump,now
leave.”She angrily
banged the door
behind her she left
the room and
entered my
room...********
