Laila

Four friends were travelling by car to see the festive lights. 

"Whatever happened to Laila?"

"Don't know. I haven't seen her in the last week in class."

"I was inviting her for today's outing, but my calls and messages went unanswered."

Laila was their fun-loving classmate.

The fourth friend seated on the passenger seat, was silent. 

The events of the last week had played many times in his mind. 

Things would have been different if only...

"All okay, Vicky?"

Vicky wanted to say everything was fine trying to sound normal.

But, he froze seeing Laila's reflection in the rear-view mirror.

  4. I hope when the detectives start questioning Laila's friends about her disappearance, the other 3 remember how quiet Vicky was...
