Chapter 176: Songs are not forgotten.

" Okay , Thanks.."

" Aunty, Let me get you something to drink.." Alyssa said and got up. Gladly nodded and stayed to waiting for her.

When Alyssa was outside she quickly ran downstairs as she was supposed to meet Calcel. When she reached the cafe she looked around but he was no where to be seen.

' He said he was waiting from here ! '

She wondered and then went to the receptionist..

" Good afternoon, Did you see any tall handsome tall man here ? " She asked.

The receptionist almost laughed at her description. " There are many tall handsome men that come here ! " She said.

" Okay, He is very tall and medium body. Thin lips, Sharp nose..." She tried to explain.

" Oh, He was just here but he came inside with another woman. And if I remembered the woman was looking for you at first . " The receptionist said.

" You mean They met ? " Alyssa knew she was in trouble if Gladlys and Calcel met.

" Yeah..." Said the receptionist .

' Then where did Calcel go ? What if he told her about our relationship ? I will be in trouble. It will look bad. Aunty might think that i took away her late daughter's lover. '

Alyssa thought as she rushed back inside. She even forgot to take the drink she just promised Gladys.

She went asking if anyone had seen Calcel until she just saw him get out of Hopkins' office.

She sighed and went to him.

" Calcel, Where have you been ? " She asked holding his hand ..

" I was talking to your boss. What's wrong ? " He asked seeing her discomfort.

" We can't talk right now. Something came. Hurry up and leave ! " She said.

" What's wrong, You look worried ? " He asked cupping her cheeks.

" I will explain everything later. But right now you have to leave. " She said.

Calcel could see how worried she was and he knew that something wrong was with her.

' She looks so scared. She must be hiding something.Could be suspicions be true. That this could be Alyssa ? '

Calcel was very wise to notice that she was chasing him away for some reason so he didn't insist.

" Okay I will leave. Take care of yourself. " He said and she smiled.

" Thanks dear . I am sorry that you have found me like after traveling the whole way. " She answered now smiling.

He smiled back and left. When he was in his car and sat down and thought about it.

He remembered everything he saw from the photos again and the videos. And the voice.

' Did the doctors mistake them ? Or what exactly happened ? '

Calcel got his phone and rung someone.

" I want to investigate about something.." He declared and after drove off.

Gladys who had been left in the room had also not settled.

' Yeah, Her voice is exactly like Alyssa's yet at first she had a different one. I have to prove if this could be my daughter . '

She was thinking when Alyssa came back with coffee .

" Aunty, I am sorry for behming late. " She said sitting down again.

" Its alright.." Gladys cheerfully answered and took the sip of it.

" You told me that you lost your memory right ? " Gladys

asked.

" Yes Aunty.." She answered.

" Ever since the accident, Which things have you discovered about yourself ? " Asked Gladys.

" Not much..I wouldn't have found out what happened to me exactly if I had not met you that day at the Mall. " Alyssa was frank.

" I am sorry I told you to let you know how I got to know you. " Gladys said.

" That's all I know and it is what has pushed me up to date. " Alyssa said.

" ...I am...how did you join the competition ? " Gladys questioned.

" I joined when I was still staying with my parents and when I passed through, I asked Mr.Hopkinsville to let me participate in the makeup show to choose his new ambassador. And by God's grace, I went through.." Narrated Alyssa.

" You know that video went viral. I saw it too. " Gladys chatted.

" Huh.." Alyssa giggled.

" That song that you used,Did you write yourself ? " Gladys asked.

" Yes. I wrote two days before the competition. I thought it would be the best way to convey my intentions for the makeup since people tend to forget speeches.." When Alyssa said this Gladys remembered back then when she was talking to her daughter.

" But Alyssa, Why do you like writing songs ? " She had asked Alyssa who was just 18 by then and she had nor yet become famous.

" Because songs are not easily forgotten like speeches. " She little girl had answered her.

Gladys suspicion increased when she remembered this and her eyes almost dropped tears.

" Aunty, Are you okay ? " Alyssa asked when she noticed Gladys' wet eyes.

" ..I am...you know old age. Our eyes tend to pain sometimes. But I am okay.." Gladys lied.

" Aunty, Allow me to take care of you. I really can ! " Alyssa joked and Gladys smiled.

" But how are your parents ? " Gladys asked.

" I haven't heard from them but I believe that they are doing well. " Alyssa said because of course she had been sending Robert money.

" Why don't you find a day and pay them a visit ? " Gladys when Alyssa's face turned solemn.

She remembered how they kicked her out of the house and said.

" They won't be happy to see me. I think i better not go there. " She said.

" Oh, Sorry. I will not ask what happened exactly. " Gladys decided to stay out of it and said.

" Where do they live ? " She asked.

" They live in Naziz. " She answered.

" Ooh..." Gladys realised that she has been here for over an hour and then got up.

" Marvis, Thank you for everything. I think I should leave now. " As she said this Alyssa also got up.

" Okay Aunty. Thanks for the visit. " She said.

Gladys stepped forward with a smile and then put her hands in Alyssa's hair to caress her.

" Its been nice to talk to you. " As Gladys said this she pulled out a hair from Alyssa but Alyssa didn't realize.

" It was nice talking to you too. " She answered.
