my life is only mine. - Page 13

afterwards I called my brother to see how far he had come, but in my haste I forgot to ask where he was going. He didn't call me. I assumed he was with a client. He always worked like that. What a fool I was at that moment.

I went to the museum and there I went to the excavation with the professor. I was very happy and nothing could distract me. I helped to discover another very rich excavation.

Professor Aziz was very proud of me and he kept telling his students that. We found something that no one else has. We slowly removed the sand from the ruins of a building and then we discovered that it was the building of a very rich family. I came to the hotel very tired and on the way I took a sandwich to eat. I was happy because the chef also made me the lemonade I asked for when I went to the museum. In the hotel, the staff was very pleasant. Everyone spoke English, so I was happy about that

I entered the room and went to take a shower and get ready for bed. Tomorrow I had agreed with the professor that I would arrive at the museum by 8 am. I needed some sleep. When I finished everything, I wrapped myself in a towel and lay down on the bed. I first picked up the phone to call my parents because I knew they were interested in what was happening with the excavation. Mom was happy for me and dad wanted him to come to Egypt too,

Mom asked what happened to Johnny because they hadn't heard from him. I didn't know what to answer her. I managed to agree that he is good and that he is working on a case. I was a little scared too. My brother never allowed himself to not call his mom. Now I didn't know what to think. After our conversation, I tried to call my brother, but his phone was switched off

ll sorts of things, now I was also a little worried. But I said to myself, well, I'll try to get it tomorrow. So I went to sleep and called my brother first thing in the morning, but again his phone was not on. I said to myself, ok Julija, let's leave it until tonight to see if he will call and then get everything on your feet to find him. And with that thought, I went to the museum and together with the professor I followed where we left off yesterday.

It was very interesting and very tiring, but we did not give up. And again, like yesterday, we took breaks to have lunch and drink coffee. it was very hot and I had to wear a scarf because I had long hair. When we finished for the day, we headed back. Then I told my teacher about Jonny and how I am now afraid for him. My professor told me to try to call him one more time and if even then he is unavailable to inform him and to start looking for my brother. And that's what I did. My brother hasn't contacted me and I'm already suspicious.

I called my brother several times, but he did not answer. I was very worried about him. I still didn't want to call my parents because I didn't want them to worry. It was enough that I was on the verge of tears. I called Professor Aziz and told him that Johnny was not answering me. The professor told me that he was waiting for me to tell him because he was just on his way to my hotel.

I was grateful to him because he didn't want to leave me alone at this moment. He came to the hotel and immediately invited me to come down to the hotel lobby. I came down and approached him and said.

Good morning, professor. I am so glad to see you. I don't know how to act. Johnny is my brother and I know he is sometimes

irresponsible, but for so long not answering, that doesn't seem like him.

The professor just patted me on the shoulder and walked with me to the reception desk. He talked to the receptionist and asked to see the hotel manager. When he finished everything, he turned to me and told me what he found out. Like this.
