"Since, when did your wife disappear, son?" Susan asked gently.

Mike raked his fingers through his hair in frustration, his jaw tightened.

"I was still talking to her at noon today. I was expecting that when I returned from the airport I will find her waiting for me here in our home. But when I entered the door, it was quiet and nobody's home. I thought she was just sleeping or taking a shower in the bathroom, but when I enter the bedroom, her clothes were already gone along with her traveling bag. She left the brown envelope containing the letter along with my car keys beside the lamp in the bedside table. That's all," Mike narrated the happenings earlier with a dull expression on his face.
