Chapter 25. Other Side of the Coin
Narrator: POV
We surely know Clazer's Opinion but there is always another Side to the Coin.
Jacob had feelings for Vinneta when he saw her working so hard in the Heartpool Cafe and even before that.
He was following her when she visited Church but couldn't dare to go inside because she might noticed him.
He was exhausted and helpless standing near the gate of the Church and decided to go back home as Vinneta was taking too long, she was talking to the Clergyman, but when it began to rain, his heart felt like he should see her again one more time.
Jacob remembered another beautiful story When It begins to Rain. ( Available now On Wattpad.)
He rushed back at full speed and bumped into her at the turning.
Seeing her in pain, unable to stand, he carried her home. He wanted to express those feelings, and he went with the flow, without even caring that she doesn't even know him.
He tried connecting with her through Instagram but she wasn't answering him.
But Jacob wasn't aware that Vinneta had feelings for him too. (P.S that Sounds like My Stalking Love Story... also available on Wattpad)
The day after she accepted him and they shared their first kiss, he texted her to meet him near the Church, and she gladly accepted the offer.
But due to Robert's circumstances, he just forgot about her and she accidentally met Clazer who was waiting for Sirania.
Jacob was feeling awful and disappointed because he couldn't meet Vinneta yesterday. Of course, that was going to be his first date.
Jacob thought it would be great to visit her home as he knew the address and apologize for not showing up.
Around 9 o'clock.
Near the basement of Vinneta's Apartment.
He reached in front of her apartment but couldn't enter as he was nervous, he started chewing his nails.
As he was building up the courage to go inside, he saw Vinneta's mom (Ms. Kerd) coming out of her old car. She knew him and recognized him but he doesn't have any idea about her.
"Oh, dear! What are you doing here this early in the morning? Come here?" Vinneta's mom called him towards herself.
"Sorry but, I don't recognize you, ma'am," Jacob answered back honestly.
"I saw you carrying my daughter that day when it rained. Don't tell me you guys are dating or something!" she said with her sharp eyes pointing at him.
Jacob clicked that she is Vinneta's mom.
"Uhm...I just... bumped into her that day..." Jacob said blushing.
"You consider me a fool? No guy who bumped into a girl sends her request on Instagram asking for a date. What's your name?" She replied rudely.
Jacob was scared of her now, he avoided eye contact and was staring at the floor.
"Jacob Smith, we run a shop JS Bakery and Cafe at Central. "
"I know that place... it's quite famous, so I can easily find your parents and complain about you..."
"How do you know that I asked her out? Did she inform you? Do you don't want me to date your daughter?" Jacob asked helplessly, he was scared.
"She told me about you...she tells me everything. And don't worry about me. I like you, you can date her." Ms. Kerd said laughing. Vinneta seemed very close to her mother.
"I actually had to meet Vinneta yesterday but there was an emergency so I couldn't make it. I came here today to meet her and apologize." Jacob confided.
"Such a lovely boyfriend you are for my daughter. So...how far have you both gone in your relationship?" Ms. Kerd asked with a mischievous smile on her face.
She pulled Jacob's cheeks making fun of him, it was her nature.
"Stop embarrassing me...! What about your new job? Vinneta told me about it." Jacob was completely flustered now.
"It's amazing...Don't try to impress me, you should try it on my daughter instead."
Jacob's phone began to ring. It was Sirania. "Just a minute" excused himself to pick up the call
"Hello, Sirania..."
"Hello Jacob, actually ...yesterday I promised Clazer to meet him but I forgot later because of Robert's situation......Please....his phone is switched off. Can you visit his house and get him on the phone for me? Please please...."
"Okay, I will be there soon," Jacob said ending the call.
...............
"Everything all right?" Vinneta's mom asked him.
"Sorry ma'am, I can't make it upstairs, An emergency came up."
"Okay, I will rag you next time properly, and don't come empty-handed to apologize to a girl!" She grinned and Jacob blushed.
"Yes, I will bring something for her, don't tell Vinneta that I came, keep it a secret. I will handle her anger later."
"Hmm..." she smiled broadly as Jacob left the building.
Jacob left for Clazer's house.
Vinneta's mom walked upstairs to the 12th floor and rang the doorbell to meet Clazer who had spent the night in her house.

Meanwhile,
In the hospital around 9 o'clock.
Cristina greeted Mr. Twas along with Mr. Deroz. They enter the room where Sirania was sitting on the sofa and Robert was undergoing regular morning check-ups.
"How are you feeling, My son?" Mr.Twas asked in a shaky tone.
"I am fine, just get me discharged quickly, and also I want to go back to Seoul," he added in a low tone.
"Yes, my son..."
Cristina walked to Sirania and whispered, "What happened Sirania, is everything fine?"
"I can't contact Clazer since last night." She replied.
Mr. Deroz and Mr. Twas completed all discharge procedures and Mr. Deroz left for his office.
After some time, Jacob entered, and Sirania spotted him along with Clazer.
..................
Cristina entered the room, Robert was sleeping and no one was in the room.
"What will you do about your feelings for her, Robert?" Cristina asked him trying to wake him up and sat next to him on the bed.
He wasn't asleep, he just had his eyes closed. He took a sharp breath as soon as he heard Cristina.
"I can't get over Sirania so soon..." he replied opening his eyes slowly.
"Hmm, uhh....get well soon.." she replied with a smile but the pain was clear in her voice.
"Thanks for informing me about Clazer and Sirania. I planned to check on her by coming to England myself..."
"So you decided to move on now?" Cristina asked.
"No, not at all. You know how Sirania helped me in childhood, I can't just move on now."
"How was my acting?" Robert asked her all of a sudden
"Which acting? Wait... you mean you were okay all this time and this hospitalization was the drama?!" Cristina replied shocked out of her mind.
"Yes, you told me that Clazer will be in Jacob's Cafe around 4 o'clock so I planned to visit the same cafe around 3 o'clock with Sirania and then the unconscious drama. My health gets worse when I consume lactose products so that was the case. Lactose Intolerance, not any heartbroken mental attachment or depression, dad is unaware of this fact....it's true I had some anxiety issues back in Seoul...But I haven't had one for a few months now." Robert said removing his IV straps.
"Wow! And just why did you do this? "Cristina said trying to hold herself together. She had been worried shirtless about him and here he confessed that was a drama all along.
"I will tell you soon. I am not that petty crying boy you used to see me as three years ago...Life changes... I changed. I acted like that boy Sirania once loved, but that boy is lost somewhere. I am not him anymore. I know I am like Clazer, the boy she loves. I just wanted to check if she actually loves me till now or not..."
"So she does?" Cristina asked with both her palms over her chest.
"Ask her... she is your sister." Robert chuckled.
Cristina looked at Robert as he laughed wholeheartedly. She had missed this laughed Robert so much. Last night was so scary, his dad was so scared. But here he is, laughing like a four-year-old who managed to pull a prank. Unable to control her emotions, she held Robert's cheeks and pressed her lips against his. She kissed him aggressively as if punishing him for all the tears she shed because of him.
Robert was stunned by this sudden stunt pulled by Cristina. His eyes were wide open and he was looking at Cristina.
"Mind explaining this?" Robert asked blushing all of a sudden as he realized what happened.
She walked out of the room without saying anything.
"Hey wait!" Robert called her but she was gone.
............
Cristina rushed home from the hospital, locked herself in her room, and cried till she felt comfortable.
..............
Robert was discharged. Sirania and Clazer along with Jacob dropped Robert and Mr. Twas at International Airport and they left for Seoul (Korea).
Everything was okay at last, or so they thought...
To be continued...........
Questions
1. Who wants Cristina to Justify her actions?
2. How Sirania did help Robert in past?
