"What you want?" Asked a old stammering voice. An aged lady from the neighborhood. She wasn't looking too healthy with her cheeks flowing down with wrinkles. Her words were so blurred that could not be understood so easily. Well, Lily remembers that the lady wasn't there at the time they came there. Because she was feeling too scared at the same time that she had her eye on each and every details that could be noticed because they were actually trespassing someone's house. 

"We are looking for Sabrina...I mean Sabrina Campbell" answered Lily, with so curious to find where she is ! 

"Okay...Am amazed Sabrina hass.. a visitor !" Lady says with a grin in her voice. Like it's really a kind of joke. 

" Where is she? Do you know she tried to kill herself !!! " Asked Jared 

"Come on In. hand..sssome !" the old lady invited them in her house.

The old lady serves coffee and  humming her favorite song of "It's my life, it's now or never" doing all the chores of the kitchen. She forgot about her new visitors and keeps busy in her song and and pouring out refined flour in a bowl. Jared and Lily stares at one another. They look at coffee which seemed perfectly fine. Made within minutes from the coffee machine and poured into the designer china clay cup. Her kitchen had finest cooking vessels and necessities. She just had to pick somethings from one place and pour it into another equipment and TADA ! Ready ! The house was full of lights and fresh flowers. She made every set up as to feel young again ! 

"So..." Jared tries to bring up the topic as the old women who's name also was unknown to  them seemed to forget about why she has called them inside. " Yesss, yes" lady turned around. " You like this song...Bon Jovi, My crush...from a long time" She blinks her eyes to them and again turns towards the platform. 

Lily tightens her grip around Jared's hand and whispers "Jared, this is getting so creepy. What if this women is psycho and tries to kill and eat us, Just like the movies..." Jared stands up " Okay Ma'am, we gotta go" 

"Wait dearr, The water hass just boiled" 

"Oh my God, she's gonna cook us" Lily frightens up and shouts. Jared holds her hand from running away 

"What, Am making sssmashed potatoes for lunch. Ssit down, you will like them" 

"Not Sure thing, I hate potatoes, No offense ! But we gotta leave and find Sabrina. That's why we came here" Jared says with a smear anger and trying to maintain a calmness in his manly voice 

"Oh, yes..Ssabrina !" Lady sits down

"Dear, my name is Charlie, and yeah Ssabrina. Sshe is my bestie neighbor. There's a vast age difference between us but we have a lot in common ! Well, who are you two? Never seen you before. She may live in different house besides. But we use to be in each other's company as long as she stayed home" 

"We got this letter from her. BTW, she's a total stranger to us but we had to help her" Lily handed the letter to charlie

 "We investigated about her a little bit, so as to know this was something real cause we have came all the way from Vancouver"

"Oh my, yess thiss iss her writing. She hass realized that I won't be here for a long time with her and was scared to lose me too. She was scared of the life she will have to live after I am gone. Because there's no one else with her" Tears came in Charlie's eyes " She's afraid of the loneliness that will grab her"  

Lily looks at Jared with eyes full of tears " Yeah, being alone is the worst misery anyone can ever suffer. It's actually difficult to overcome since there's no one else we have a mission to live for"

"So to escape she decided to settle with this. She couldn't tell me but at least she wanted someone to know" Charlie takes a deep breath

"Where is she now?" 

"Hospitalized. She has regained her consciousness today morning. It's been nearly a week that I am missing her. I couldn't go to see. She use to be with me, but I knew she misses the outside world more. I didn't know when she wrote that letter and send so far. She must be amazed that she has got response too."

Charlie walks up to kitchen platform and continuous scrapping the potato skin. " Why you don't like potatoes, They go with every dish and can be customized as per cooking too. I will make some for you both" 

"We are going to See her, do you want to come ? "

"Where are you going?" charlie turned around to ask,  again lost with the track of conversation she just had. 

"Oh Damn, not again!" Lily smiles at Jared
