C12 Come find me.

I slowly opened the seal on the envelope and poured the contents on my lap curiously. I wanted to see what on earth was making the envelope so bulky.

What I saw next made me gasp in astonishment. Apart from the letter which spilled to my lap, bundles of money also followed.

I quickly placed my right palm over my mouth to prevent me from screaming. I then slowly picked up the bundles of money laying on my lap one by one with trembling hands completely ignoring the letter or should I say forgetting about it.

' Who is kind enough to send me such huge amount of money?' I wondered in amusement for I had no friends nor families. Just haters.

" Why don't you go through the letter?" My subconscious asked.

" Perhaps you might find some clues" She encouraged and I nodded.

I slowly took the letter from my lap and opened it. I took a deep breath before I started reading the contents out aloud.

" Hey Acapella" The writer greeted. " I know despite trying to convincing you of your foolish idea to go and apologize to your family for nothing you did wrong, you stubborn head would not listen and still go right ahead". I laughed at that particular statement instantly confirming my suspicion of who this letter was from.

' But why did he leave money behind for me?' A huge amount at that' I found myself wondering.

" I am sure you will find your answers in the letter, so keep on reading" My subconscious whispered.

" It you are reading this letter, then I guess your so called family has kicked you out".

' Harsh' I thought grimly then continued reading.

" I am not going to say I told you so nor am I going to console you for you might be crying buckets by now or might have".

' Well,he was wrong'. I thought. ' I did not cry buckets'.

" Yeah, you just shed tears" My subconscious mocked.

" I know also, by now, you would have found out I am no Doctor, nor have I ever worked in the hospital".

" I am also sure, you might have be thinking I am a hardened Criminal for clearing every single traces which might have indicated I impersonated a doctor."

" Well, except from killing you" I read out with shaken voice. Goosebumps covering my entire body.

" If you are ever interested in finding out who I really am, why I did not end you while I had the chance and what my mission in the hospital was, come find me in Italy".

" I left you bundles of notes and a ticket for your flight just in case you really decide to come".

" See you soon little bird, I am sure you will find me. I believe you will" . was his last statement.

I scoffed angrily folding the letter back in place. " How unbelievable!" I muttered.

" I believe you will find me" I recited his exact words in disbelief.

' What the heck was my business with him?' I wondered.

" Why on earth would I even go to Italy and think of looking for him?" I asked myself.

" Well, he is your nice doctor and you care about him" My subconscious answered my question and I scoffed.

" No I do not" I argued.

" Then why protect him when knowing he is dangerous?" my subconscious asked.

" Because we have no proof he is indeed dangerous" I replied. " Besides,he did not hurt anyone" I added.

" Has not" My subconscious corrected me.

' Whatever' I thought.

" So are you going to allow the plane ticket to go to waste?" My subconscious asked and I remembered he mentioned getting me a flight ticket in the letter. Unfortunately,I did not see any flight ticket while spilling the contents of the envelope onto my lap.

" Check again" My subconscious nagged and I did with curiosity.

' Might have gotten stuck ' I thought as I took the envelope from where I flung it to by the side of my bed and looked inside only to find the flight ticket like I thought stuck to the side with the envelope's gum attached to it.

I pulled it out gently to avoid any tear and found out my flight was scheduled to leave tomorrow noon at 5pm giving me all the time I will need to decide whether I will love to leave for Italy or not.

If I would choose the former, it means I have to leave everything behind, all painful memories behind and start afresh.

" Well that will be easy since I have no friends or family" I muttered to myself hoping to convince myself.

' it was the truth' I thought. ' I have no one so nothing is holding me back'.

I am going to go. I decided. 'Not to look for the nice Doctor or anything but to go and start afresh since I have nothing here anymore' I thought.

" It's time to move on" I said to myself quietly before stuffing the letter, bundles of money and flight ticket back into the envelope and placing them on my nightstand.

I pushed aside the duvet on my leg, got up and yawned in fatigue.

" Today has really been a long day" I thought with sleepy eyes before arranging my bed. After that, I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth before going back to my room and laying down on my bed completely exhausted.

I remembered to say a silent prayer to the Lord.

" Please guide me in my path,oh Lord". I switched off the lamp on the table and closed my eyes before shortly drifting into slumber with just a thought.

' What will my life be like in Italy? Happy or more sorrowful.
