when somebody gets lost

last week I saw an advertisement on the newspaper about a girl that got lost... this happens even in the most boring of places, oman... i thought that this only happens in places like american and canada, stuff we see in movies and read about in little novels, i never thought that somebody might dissappear here in oman...

it really hurt me when i saw that advertisement, it was a girl a bit younger than me, she was seventeen, she went out one day and never came back... i tried to imagine how the mother of this girl would feel, how did she manage to sleep that night when her daughter never got back home, how did she manage to sleep the next day and the one after, and the one after... it is really scary and sad... i wonder if they will ever find that girl again, what happened to her, did she run with a lover, was she abducted, raped, and then killed, or was it a hit and run accident...'

at times, i think of the weirdest little things, what happens to the girls bedroom, will it be left ready for her to come back, how long would it take for the family to realise that she might never come back... i always wondered what happens to the stuff belonging to somebody who dies, who takes them, what do they do with them?....
