POV: Clazer Oath tells his past to Dr. Ruther.

24 November 2021,

The day after, Ruder's birthday,

There were still absent-minded thoughts crossing my mind. I was disturbed. I have Sirania with me but I was constantly thinking about Vinneta's words, maybe I can't go on with this revenge.

I was constantly telling myself that my love for her is fake, it was more like.......I don't even know how am I going to take revenge on Mrs. Deroz. I never met her.

I had something else to do as well.

I decided to meet Vinneta in the same park where I told her about Kabir.

I don't want to disrespect Sirania's feelings, there must be a way, so I called Vinneta. She totally ignored my calls... but I want to talk and solve all the matters she can help me with and find Kabir's family.

So with a little pep talk in my head, I decided to go to Vinneta's home.

I rang the doorbell but there wasn't any response for about 2 minutes. I began doubting if anyone was home.

And I was right.

Disappointment overdrove me. She must be out for work. I visited Heartpool Street Cafe but they said she took the day off.

So the next thing I decided to do was to just casually meet Jacob. At last, she is his girlfriend. I entered the cafe, none of the family members were there in the cafe, only a couple of waiters, and a handful of customers.

One of the staff members recognized me and informed me that Mr. and Mrs. Smith were out of town, and Jacob might be in his room. So I decided to go upstairs.

I walked upstairs. I could hear Jacob's faint voice talking to someone.

"Yah! I don't know... but still okay."

I knocked on the door and entered as it was open. Jacob looked at me and smiled. He waved at me to say hello. He was on the phone.

"Yeah, I got it. I will come on time, bye... love you." He said blushing and ended the call.

"So Mr. Hot, what brings you here?" He asked putting his phone on charging.

"I was passing out due to boredom, So I came here to meet you."

"Not for Cake?"

"No, not really for cake. A piece will be enough though..."

I know I sounded greedy.

"I can give you a cake instead of just a piece, but sorry Clazer I have to go out, I can hardly manage half an hour for you."

"Where are you going? Are you meeting someone?"

"Vinneta..." he said blushing.

So I was right.

"When did it all start? You never told me.." I asked him out of curiosity.

"I guess about a month ago, not precisely, I saw her working in that Heartpool Cafe, then followed and stalked her. Also during the same time, she came to our JS shop to ask for the job of a waitress, she does a dozen jobs. She is really pretty and hardworking but dad refused her because she had little knowledge about cake and all.

After the result day when we were celebrating, I followed her to the Church and we collided into each other, then I carried her home because she was hurt, I told her about my feelings the same night, and I asked her to be my girlfriend and planned a date which was ruined for some reason but we exchanged our numbers and decided to go out all of a sudden on Sunday, and later I confessed to her again."

"And she accepted your proposal? Impressive, that also explains how your mom and dad knew her..."

"Hard work has paid off now. Her mom got a proper job now. So she has decided to cut off her number of part-time jobs. She took today off and we are going to the mall."

"Good Good. Make sure you dress in a Black outfit. I will leave now. I just remembered dad wanted me to meet one of his clients."

Of course, that was a lie.

"Wait for 15 minutes more. I haven't told you the best part of the story yet."

"Vinneta told me her POV yesterday."

"Oh I see." he laughed.

I rushed out of his room and out of the cafe and asked the driver to drop me at the mall, the exact location both of them were going to meet.

I know Vinneta closely by now. She has a habit of coming to our meeting place earlier than me. I spotted her at the entrance of the mall, held her hand tightly, and took her inside the mall. She began to struggle out of my hold. But still, I was forcing her to come to the corner with no crowd looking at us.

"What's this nonsense Clazer? People are watching!" she glared.

"Can't you answer my phone then?" I ranted.

"I was busy..." she said avoiding eye contact.

"You have enough time for a date with Jacob, but couldn't answer my call?"

"He is my date. Also, if you know that Jacob is coming here, then why are you here? Are you insane or what?"

"Please help me find Kabir's family." I requested to pass her a piece of paper.

"This location is close to Kabir's mom's address. Also, this is in the area you live in. Help me find it."

Vinneta's eyes got filled with tears. She looked down.

"I need some time for it. London isn't small, nor is this area where I live."

"Will you help me?"

She nodded and asked me to leave the mall.

I was about to leave. I spotted Jacob in a black shirt but he didn't notice me as he was busy parking his car.

Suddenly someone pulled me aside "So Dating two girls?" a soft voice said.

I pushed her, It was dark in the basement. I can't see the face. I held her hand and then swung her to left, where there was a narrow light. It was Cristina. Damn anything in the world but not her.

"What are you doing here?" I asked her hesitatingly.

"I thought malls are public places..." she laughed loudly.

"They are, but did you just follow me?"

"Kind of, but no. Why do I have to follow you?" She laughed again.

"What have you seen?"

"Everything from the start. Who are you finding? Who is Kabir?" she asked.

Thank God I didn't say anything about her mom or Sirania.

"Fuck. See Cristina, I can explain everything."

"No, I don't need any explanation."

"You won't tell anyone? Not even to Sirania. What's the price to keep this a secret?"

I wanted our conversation to end as fast as possible.

"No I won't tell her and excuse me I am not poor who goes for negotiations, maybe your Sirania is."

She wasn't the Cristina I knew.

"Pardon?"

"Yeah, you heard it right. Look Clazer, I don't know what you were talking about there, but I know if Sirania comes to know this, it will be havoc. Not for you but maybe for Vinneta. And If I tell Jacob it will be fun. So I will tell you one of my secrets to make us even."

A silence followed. Cars began to move from the basement towards the exit. A narrow strip of light from the headlights fell on us every time a car passed.

I tried to look up at Cristina, she began murmuring.

"I loved Robert Twas, I was extremely mad at him, but then I realized that he loves Sirania, not me. So I decided to forget him forever without even confessing to him... but I did. For how long I am gonna sacrifice for others? I told Robert I love him. Even if he says he didn't love Siraina, I know he still loves her.....No Word Policy for you. It's our little secret"

She continued after a small pause.

"I will love it when you will take Vinneta or another girl with you and then I will be happy to see Sirania crying, she will realize the pain I am suffering from," she smirked.

"I can't do that to Sirania nor do I love Vinneta. You are misunderstanding here." I crossed Cristina's words.

"Whatever, just make sure I hope that you cheat on her or leave her alone. You know each coin has two sides. I will leave, see you later..." she waved.

TBC.
