96 What if? (2/2)

Zoey swept the floor, dust off all the surrounding furniture. Piled up all the scattered shirts, towels, and coats around. She even lined up all the shoes in his entrance hall and throw out his garbage to the garbage tunnel in their floor.

When she finishes everything, from cleaning his unit to preparing their dinner. Zoey started knocking his door, ”Nickel, are you sleeping?” she asked.

No one is answering her, so she thought that he was already sleeping. In case is does, Zoey thinks that it would be better if her eat and drink his medicine better going to bed. Zoey turned the knob and opened the door. She entered his room and didn't see anyone inside. ”Where did he go?” she asked herself.

Zoey examined his room and it was dirtier compared to his living room, kitchen, and entrance hall. It was actually your typical man's room. Wherein you'll see a mountain of clothes on his desk chair, his side table is full of trashes and books are all scattered everywhere.

Zoey looked around including his wardrobe, but she didn't see the man he was looking for. The only place available to search on was his bathroom. To be courteous to the man of the house, Zoey once again knock the door and informing him that she was there looking for him.

Zoey put her ears close to the door to hear any movement inside. Aside from the running water there is no other noise created.

”Nickel? Are you alright?” Zoey slightly opened the door enough for her let him hear her words. ”Are you alright?” she asked again. With the slight opening of the door, the steam from the hot shower escaped room.

”Oh!” Zoey was startled with the hot steamed on her face. ”Was he taking a bath?” She asked herself.

”Nickel, are you alright?” this time Zoey is already shouting her words but at like before she receives no answers.

Panic starts building within her. What if he got unconscious then hit his head somewhere. Should she enter the room with his permission?

What if he was just having a hot steam therapy while taking a dump with earphones in his ears.

What if he is okay?

What if? What if? What if?

There are a lot of what ifs running into her head. What if one of her thoughts came true? What will she do.
