Chapter 49 GUILTY?

• Audrey, who had all along being waiting for her son for the past hours, glanced at the clock and it was already 11pm yet no sign of him at all. Wondering what had kept him up so late in town, she rose to her full length with a furrowed brow. Anxiety and much brooding combined to shed several kilogrammes of fat from her body.
• "What's going?– He had never stayed out so late like this." She stated and as if on a sudden impulse, gasped with darting eyes. "Or did something really happen to my son?" She cried. Just then, she heard a voice– it was high pitched with laughter and giggles along with chats which sounded like one coming from someone outside the room. She instinctively shuffled to the door and pulled the lace curtains. Audrey peered through the glass window with eagle eyes just then, she noticed a familiar figure in the garden. It was Rubin who seem to be adoring the beautiful evening. Her lips instinctively curved in a smile as she let out a sigh of relief but then, something seem to bat her mind.
• "Who was he talking and laughing with?" She wondered, her eyes swiftly searched for his companion but then, all signs proved he was alone. She glanced through the window with a furrowed brow, a brick of confusion visible on her face. "I see no one apart from him, so who is he talking to?" She stuttered. But then, she shoved off the thought and pulled the door open as she sauntered out.
