Love And Isolation

Eve's Journal#1

March 20, 20XX

It's been a week since my fiancè's disappearance. I started to write this journal because I've never been so lonely as before. I don't want anybody but Isaac. My life is not complete without him.

Isaac was going to a business trip. He promised that when he got back, we'll start the preparations for our wedding. But, why? Why did it end up like this? That day, the airplane he was in suddenly crashed due to maintenance failure. It feels like my heart shattered into small pieces. If only I was the one who's over there, not him. I can't bare to live a life where there is no him.

I miss him. I really really miss him. I wish he's alright. I wish his just recovering himself in an unknown place that's why we couldn't find him. I wish that is the case. So Isaac... Please come back to me...

I want to join the rescue team, but David, his secretary, wouldn't allow me to go. His secretary keeps on saying that no matter what happens, I am not allowed to go anywhere given the fact that I am not in good condition. Does he even know the feeling of losing someone important? Maybe, not. He's as cold as stone after all. He's not human! He doesn't understand what I feel at all!

It doesn't matter whether I am in good health or not. I'd rather die while finding him than die doing nothing. I must help in finding Isaac. I must do whatever I can. I have my own connections. I am not as simple as they think! Even if Isaac's father doesn't like me, I will prove that I deserve to be with his son. I will prove it by showing how capable I am! I can find him with my own abilities! I may be a person with a weak body, but I am not useless. I didn't become the Vice-President if I am not good enough for that position. I will prove that he is wrong about me. I will prove that my love for Isaac is genuine. I will prove that even in death, we will be part of each other.

Anyway... Come to think of it... David was not with Isaac that day. Did I miss something? What if... What if the secretary... He...

No. I must think rationally. I don't have anything to prove my suspicions. David is not only a secretary to Isaac, but also a brother. Though they are not blood related, they treat each other as if they are in the same family. David has known Isaac before me. Isaac always assures me that I should trust David. But... What if... Just what if... I need to be careful. I need to go back to the company and stop these useless acts. If I keep acting like this, I will not know the truth. I could feel that something is happening behind my back. I should not trust anyone for now... I should avoid getting attached with anyone until I find out the truth behind my fiancè's disappearance.

Eve's Journal#2

March 29, 20XX

This is bothersome! It's been nine days since I started handling the company.David didn't even complain when I told him that I want to handle the company affairs during Isaac's absence. What is the difference between working every day and finding Isaac? Both of those activities will definitely affect my health. Why didn't he stop me? Is it because he thinks that I am safer in the company? Or is it because he really doesn't want me to participate in finding Isaac?

David is really getting on my nerves! I tried to cofront him three days ago, but he just stared down at me not saying anything. Thank my patience, David! Or else I've already hit your face with one of Isaac's baseball bat collections.

Relax, Eve... Forget about that stone-faced secretary.

Going back to the main focus...

I've been working in the company for more than a week. It seems "normal"... Too "normal" as if there's nothing wrong. "Normal" upon knowing the fact that Isaac, the President, is missing...

I visited every department. The staffs seem to be working well. They are doing their tasks as usual. I also asked David regarding this, and he told me that everyone isn't informed with Isaac's disappearance.

The h*ll I would believe that!

The accident was all over the news. There's no way that no one, not even one, will suspect that Isaac might be one of those people who had gone missing in the plane crash!

If that is REALLY the case...

Then I guess, I should move on with my next move.

First, David is acting like a bodyguard to me, not a secretary. Observing my every move... Telling what I am allowed to do, and what's not.

Second, all the people in the company. Not even one suspects...thinks that Isaac might not be in a business trip but is missing up until now.

Third, Isaac's father. I think that he really hates me. Isaac is missing, and he didn't even show up once to me. Am I just nothing? Isn't he worried that I am the one in charge with his son's company?

Oh, crap! I need more braincells to understand what's happening around me. It feels like I will end up brain dead if these keep going on.

Good thing I am quickly recovering from my condition. The personal doctor that Isaac assigned to me said that I can now involve myself in outdoor activities.

Outdoor activities...meaning...RESCUING ISAAC?

And...guess what? When I asked that, she just gave me a cold look and answered me with a BIG FAT "NO" as if I was auditioning in America's Got Talent, and I should do better next time.

The h*ll with these people!

David...

My personal doctor...

If it was David, I would be more understanding and accept that answer. But my doctor?! My ever sweet and loving doctor? Who would have thought that she will give me that attitude as if I am a kid asking for a candy that I am not allowed to eat?

Though I am acting like a kid right now... But... I do sound reasonable, right?

Eve's Journal#3

Outdoor activities...

Swimming... Playing golf... Hiking... Fishing... Biking...

What else? They even let me join in every outing that they can think of. Do I need to be present in all of the out-of-towns in each department? What the h*ll is going on?!

David just keeps silent as it was nothing.

Isaac is missing and I need to find him. It's more important than anything else. Why am I allowed to participate in those nonsense, but not in joining the rescue team? It's been a month already. It's only month, but it feels like I have already wasted half of my life doing this short-term-happiness activities.

Happiness... To the point that I almost forgot about Isaac's disappearance.

Forgetting... No... Oh no... Why does it seem like they are forcing me to forget about him? Are they doing it on purpose? If yes, then why?

David...

My personal doctor...

All the people in the company...

Are they in cahoots with each other? What if they are hiding something from me? This is bad. I've let my guard down. It has to be stopped.

I need to go home.

(Eve left and went home.)

As usual... David followed after me. I could really feel that he's just outside my room, waiting for my next movement.

I don't understand why... He's always there wherever I go... Protecting me... Assisting me...

I even drew a picture of David while thinking of those moments I spent with him.

Oh, no... Am I already falling for him?

But... what about Isaac? Should I start forgetting about him?

AS IF I WOULD DO THAT! ╮(─▽─)╭

This is not a typical high school life romance where in a pathetic female lead will fall in love to whoever is good to her... protecting her... someone who's like a knight in shining armor... Prince charming... Like Shrek, and blah blah...

Though David is a stone-faced good-looking man, I will not fall for that. I need my Isaac!

This is not a stupid fairy tale! This is FINDING NEMO!

Anyway, I just drew David's face so that I have a target when playing darts. I feel much better whenever I hit the bull's eye on his nose. Hahaha! Should I hire a witch to put a spell on my drawing so that he could feel every pierce of those darts on his face?

I am acting like a kid right now... What should I do? Should I just escape so that I can look for him?

Huh? A ringtone... It's David's... I've known it since I met him. He's talking to someone. I know that this is rude, but I think I should listen... I don't like eavesdropping. But if there's a possibility that he already has a lead to Isaac and he is just hiding it from me, I would rather do it.

I'll make sure to write what I am going to hear from their conversation.

It's 11:48 p.m.

I wonder who is talking to him right now. It's already late at night.
