She is missing

"Do you mind if I hold you?" Noah politely asked when he walked out of the party with a drunken Sasha and to which she replied with a silent nod.

When he got her silent permission, Noah wrapped his arm over her waist to support her as he led her inside the mansion.

Since the first floor of the mansion was filled with chaos due to guests and maids, Noah took Sasha to a lonely room on the second floor.

"You go and clean up, I will wait," He suggested like a gentleman,

"You are not going to come inside?" She asked with an expressionless face,

"Do you want me to accompany you?" His eyes widened in surprise, does this question means that she finally accepted him as an acquaintance, maybe a little more than that?

"No," She twitched her mouth and mercilessly turned him down. What did he expect from her? Noah gave her a flustered smile and opened the door of the room to let her inside,

"Go ahead, I will wait,"

"Thank you, handsome man," She replied plainly,

"How long are you going to call me by that title?" He touched the tip of his nose and tried to hide his blushing face.

"As long as you are alive,"

This girl!!!! A shy smile bloomed on Noah's lips as he listened more to her.

He used to believe that there is no one can defeat him when it comes to pick-up lines and making others blush, however this woman...She effortlessly sends butterflies to his mind,

"Just go," He pushed her inside the room and closed the door, Noah leaned onto the wall with an elated mood, a charming smile hanging on his lips.

What is this overwhelming warmth spreading over his mind? He had dated numerous women and none of them had made his heart flutter like this.

While Noah was lost in the thoughts, inside the washroom, Sasha was struggling to wash off the risotto sticking onto her emerald green dress with the handheld showerhead,

Even after thirty minutes when there weren't any responses from the girl who went inside the room, Noah decided to check on her.

He entered into the room while calling out for her and other than the sounds of the running water nothing resonated there,

"Sasha are you alright?" He sounded agitated since there aren't any responses from her, He walked towards the bathroom and faintly knocked on the door,

"Sasha, are you-" Even before he could say something, the bathroom door opened itself and revealed a fragile woman sitting on the bathroom floor with wet clothes.

"Sasha, what are you doing here???" Noah crouched down and asked panickily.

Her proud face appeared vulnerable and lost, as she sat there drenched in cold water. Even though there were a lot of questions in his mind Noah chose to remain silent as he met with her agonised eyes.

He quickly took a towel from the cupboard to wrap around her shivering body. As he helped her to dry her thick hair, a clear confusion was visible on Sasha's face.

Why is he being kind to her?

Noah handed over a bathrobe to Sasha and suggested,

"Change your clothes and let me inform Lia, she might have some clothes for you,"

Sasha stood listening to him, silently. That gesture...It felt odd.

There wasn't a single person who has treated her like this yet somehow the overwhelming sensation felt familiar,

"You understood?" She replied with a nod,

"Good," He smiled and left the washroom while rolling up his sleeves, While walking out of the room, Noah picked the phone to call his sister. However, even after ringing a few times, no one picked up the calls.

"Sasha, don't go anywhere, I will come back in a moment,"

He reminded Sasha who was still in the bathroom and left her alone as he went to search for his sister.

Once Sasha realised that she was alone in the room, she came out of the bathroom without changing her wet clothes.

I must get home!!!! She muttered under her breath and quickly picked up her wallet with trembling hands.

"Staying night out in a stranger's home is not good, I must go home," She chanted repeatedly and left the room.

As she got out of the room, she was hit by the cool night breeze. A quick shiver went down her spine and Sasha crossed her arms over the chest to keep her warm.

However, the breezy wind from the giant balcony in the corridor was continuously blowing and it made her shiver in cold.

Sasha tilted her head and took a glance at the balcony, The patch of starry lit sky was visible from the balcony and it made Sasha forget herself, for a moment.

All of sudden, Instead of going downstairs, she turned and headed towards the stairs leading to the rooftop.

At the same time, Noah was ardently searching for his sister to inform about Sasha's condition.

Since it was already late, Lia was busy sending off the guests. When Lia saw her little brother was searching for her, she already made a guess that Noah was approaching her to discuss Sasha.

"Lia, I have something to-"

"If it is about Sasha, then I don't want to hear," Even before Noah could say something, Lia shut his mouth.

"Lia, listen to me first," He grabbed her shoulders and steadied his sister who was struggling to avoid him at any cost.

"Sasha got drunk,"

"What?" Lia's pretty face lost its colour as his words reached her, Sasha has been taking medicines for a while and she was strictly prohibited from drinking. Her chaotic mind gets out of control under the effect of alcohol,

"Where is she?"

"Oh I have asked her to wait," Noah answered, "She is on the second floor,"

"Let's go and check on her," Lia dragged her brother upstairs and to their surprise, they were welcomed by an empty room.

"Where is she?"

"She might be in the room," Noah chimed and called out for Sasha, but no one replied. He immediately rushed towards the bathroom and knocked before entering. However the bathroom was empty,

"Where did she go?" Lia asked in a panicked tone,

"She must be somewhere here," Noah clenched his teeth in frustration and searched for Sasha's things in the room.

It didn't even take any longer for Noah to realise that Sasha's things were banished from the room.

"I think she left, her things are not here," He said as he checked the bathrobe left on the bed,

"She left in wet clothes?" His eyebrows creased in worry, "Lia, can you give her a call?"

"I don't have her number," Lia confessed in a guilty stricken face. She never thought that such a situation would arise if she invited Sasha over for the birthday party.

"You don't have her number? How can you not have your friend's number?" Noah raised his voice,

"I told you...she is my patient. She is having a difficult time socialising with people.. that's why I asked her to join the-" Lia stopped as if she got reminded of something,

"Noah, can you check the rooftop?" She requested in a terrified voice,

"Rooftop?" Noah retaliated with doubt,

"She couldn't even walk properly, then how will she climb the stairs and go to the rooftop,"

He tried to convince himself that Sasha must have gone home rather than sticking around with strangers.

However, Lia has refused to believe his words with her experience with Sasha as her doctor.

"She has a traumatic past, Noah. Her thoughts aren't anything like normal people. Nowadays she has been having nightmares of falling from the high raised buildings and I even told her to visit the places she has been seeing in her dreams. I am worried that she might-" Even before Lia could finish her words, Noah left the room and rushed towards the rooftop.

On the way to the upstairs, his gaze fell on the wet trails of water droplets leading to the rooftop, as if someone walked in wet clothes.

"Noooo...it can't be," Noah climbed the stairs with a trembling heart. He himself witnessed how vulnerable was Sasha before he left her in the room.

What if she really tried to recreate the incident and took her life in the process. Noah hurried to the rooftop and found the wide rooftop empty.

"Sasha!!!!"
