Immediately when I woke up she was not there. I immediately searched for my phone and luckily I found it. I looked at the time it was already 12 pm and I overslept. I was already late for the meeting with another real estate agent. I then searched around to see if all my valuables were still there and everything was still there nothing was missing. I sat there surprised and confused who was that girl. As confused as I was I then headed to the shower and showered for an hour. Flashbacks of yesterday’s events flooded my mind. When I got out of the shower my phone immediately rang. The real estate agent who assisted me before called in telling me about an apartment that was available and assured me that I would definitely love it. I immediately headed to the location he sent me.

When I arrived he took me for a tour. And the apartment was exactly what I wanted. A fully furnished 3 bedroom, 2 and half bathrooms, study room which I would use as my office, huge spacious kitchen along with a living area. I loved the apartment that I even signed the lease immediately. I then went to the shops to buy household appliances just so I can make the apartment more homely. After that I then relocated to the apartment and decorated the apartment till late. Since the mystery girl was living rent free in my room I decided to go look for her so I returned to Europa in search of her unfortunately I couldn’t find her. I then thought that she might come back to my hotel room so I decided that later on I would return to the hotel maybe she’ll drop by. So I returned to the hotel and spent the night there. I waited for what seemed like forever but she didn’t show up.

I decided to go to the security and request to see the CCTV to look for the number plate of the car and I got it. I then called Joseph whom I would call a brother who I grew up with in the orphanage. He works with the police department so I asked him for a favour to check for the owner of the car for me. He assured me that he’ll get back to me with the information. I then tossed and turned throughout the night thinking about her. I didn’t even know her name but here I was thinking about her and feeling her lips on top of mine and her skin touching mine. I have never in my life seen anyone like her. A short, curvy light skinned girl with her natural afro hair worn out and her grey eyes and her pink lips. I was definitely mesmerized by her. I was warned about crime in Pretoria but they forgot to warn me about the pretty girls this place have.

I was woken up early in the morning by a call from Joseph. “I have looked into the number plate you asked me about. That car was stolen somewhere around Mamelodi two days ago. And thanks to your information the car has been located somewhere around the Union buildings but the person who stole it was no where to be found. By the way how did you know about that car?” He asked. “I happened to have hitch hiked it” I lied. “Do you remember the driver?” He questioned. “I don’t remember the driver since I was really drunk that’s why I asked you to look it up so I can personally thank him” I said. He then asked about how Pretoria is treating me we kind of catched up but a few details were left out on the conversation. Him calling me assured me that I was not hallucinating that girl exists and I’m determined to find her. I fear that I might have slept with a dangerous criminal.

I then had breakfast at the hotel and later left go grocery shopping since I planned to have a home cooked meal for supper. I drove to Bloed mall and did some groceries and accessory shopping. While shopping I saw that mystery girl in every girl I came across. I was beginning to act like a lunatic following people around only to realise that they are not who I was yearning to see. I came to Gauteng to help psychiatric patients and at this rate I might become one myself. I then decided to brush off the thought of her. I got to my new apartment and started packing my groceries and doing some touch-up with the decorations and I was very satisfied with how the apartment looked like. I then started preparing for supper. The menu for the night was steak, rice and some salads along with some side dishes. Accompanying the meal of the night was a glass of red wine.

As I sat down to eat I started thinking about her again and at this rate I would go insane. I was told that Pretoria girls are dangerous but they kinda forgot to mention that they can make you go completely insane with their beauty. I just decided to play some music while enjoying the meal just so I can get her off my mind even if it’s for a few minutes. I ate peacefully and I finished my meal without any disturbance. As I was getting ready to relax just before the big day of my life. I received a call from an unknown number but the caller ID was saying Dr Davis. I answered. “Greetings Dr Dennis Daniels sorry to call this late. I am Dr Mia Davis a neurologist from Muelmed Mediclinic. I calling with regards to one of my patients who was readmitted yesterday” he said.

“I am already waiting for lab results for brain infection but I already did CT scan and everything seems normal. I have already sent the patients previous medical records and would like your psycatric opinion on this patient.” Dr Davis said. “I’ll look into the medical reports and I would avail myself tomorrow so I can personally examine the patient” I responded. “Goodnight Dr see you tomorrow” she said. “Goodnight” after the call I headed to my office and opened up my apple PC. Just as she said she had already sent the email. I looked into the email. The patient’s name was Shantell Montana. She is 26 years old. Has history of being violent and has tendancy of stealing cars which were all discovered. This abnormality began after her mother died and her father immediately remarried.

She has ran away from the hospital a couple of times and has no intimate relationship known of. She usually talks alone and most of the things she says make no sense. “She’s definitely a psychopath” I said reading through all her medical records. I set an alarm of 5 o’clock in the morning. And took a shower before calling it a night. I then received a call from Joseph waking me up in the middle of the night. “Our perpetrator is a female didn’t you know about that” he asked. “No I didn’t know. Did you find her?” I asked. “Nope but they are still searching for her” he said. “Then was there a reason to call me at this time if you haven’t even found her yet?” I asked furiously. ” I’m just returning the favour. You have the tendency of calling me late at night. By the way are you really sure you don’t know that woman” he asked. I just decided to hang up since I was very bad at lying.

I couldn’t sleep a wink after that call. Shantell Montana she’s a coloured probably. What could be the cause of her psychiatric disorders. I guess I’ll find out more tomorrow. I should keep my professional life away from my personal life. I have to actually focus on myself now and focus on my patients when I’m at hospital because this would someday affect my marriage life. I don’t even know why I am thinking about marriage when I haven’t even dated anyone. I tossed and turned throughout the night and before I knew it, the alarm was already ringing. I went to shower and drove to the petrol station to fill up my car. I drove to the hospital. I can’t wait for the first day as a qualified psychiatrist. I drove to the underground parking lot for employees and parked my car. I then headed to the elevator and went to the ground floor.

I approached the receptionist to ask about where I have to report to. A good looking young lady who had long hair approached me. “You must be Dr Daniels, hi I’m Dr Mia Davis” she said. “Oh hi” I said nervously. “You are a doctor but you are nervous I feel for your patients” she said with a smile. “Well I’m different around my patients” I said. “I hope you are right. Come this way” she lead me to the elevator and went to the third floor. She directed me towards another office.

‘Dr D Daniels Psychiatrist ‘ it read.

“This is your office and this is Letty Morongwa your receptionist and this is Mam Grace Mabona your assistant. They will help you out so familiarise yourself with them” she said. “Okay I will” I said. “My job here is done if you need anything you have my number. Use it” Dr Davis said while walking away. “Morning I’m Dr Dennis Daniels but I would gladly appreciate it if you address me by my first name” I said introducing myself. “That would be hard since we are used to addressing doctors by their title” Grace said. “Whatever you feel comfortable calling me with I’ll accept it” I said. “Here are the files of the patients you are assigned to” Letty said. I took the files and sighed a little bit loudly. “I haven’t even spent 30 minutes here and I already have so much work. Alrighty then ladies let me get to it” I said walking towards the office. I got in and went through all the files. When I reached Shantell Montana’s file I felt somehow. It was as if we were connected.
