POV ~ Clazer Oath telling the past to Dr. Ruther

Date 14 March 2022

Sirania did everything to make sure I date her. The question arises, where she is now?

At dinner, Dad informed me that she was here in California, also she was trying to meet me but Dad didn't allow so.

In the era of calls or texts, why didn't she contact me?

I was sure her strict and rude mom has blocked me from her phone or could have seized her phone and locked her in the home or even worse.

I was getting bored at home so I asked for Dad's permission and the driver drove me to Park with my bodyguard around me.

The park was nothing like those of the smaller towns, theirs were miniature formal gardens for the elderly that had retired there for a quiet life. They had benches, ornamental trees, flowers year-round, and water fountains in clear lakes that were stocked with Koi carp.

I finally sat on the bench and remembered Vinneta, was she my good friend? I don't remember exactly. Did I need anything from her? Revenge? No not possible.

I messaged her to meet me. She agreed and she did ask me about my health, I ignored her messages and asked her to meet me as soon as possible.

I wasn't aware that she was in America already and even seems familiar with places when I told her about that park, she said yes, she knew that location, and that's super close to where she was at present.

She told me she will be there in 5 minutes.

...............

A young man, my age comes running toward me, he sat on the bench with me. It was strange my guard didn't stop him because he was busy texting someone and had a mask on.

He had a black hoodie with ripped jeans, "Hi," he said slowly looking at me and his voice was familiar.

I turned to see his face completely "Hello" I replied, couldn't see him.

"How was England?" he asked me, he was typing something on the phone.

"Sorry we know each other, I tried to look at him"I was a bit shaken.

And I got a notification, from that unknown number, again, another text.

"Remembered me? Maybe not? How can you? Don't even try to call me. Don't talk just do what I say."

I immediately message back "Who are you?"

No response.

I dialed the number, It just not connected to that receiver.

I look around for that black hoodie boy, he wasn't there, I saw him running toward the exit, I followed him, but my guard was following me.

I meet Vinneta right near the park exit. I was about to hit her.

"Ahhh.....Oh...you got a deadly accident, why are you running?" she stopped me.

"We meet now, see you after 14 days. Go home " I said in a single breath and started chasing that boy again.

She was shocked. He was gone that boy was gone.

"Sir, why are you running?" My guard breathing heavily behind me

"Did you see him?"I said pointing toward the direction

"Whom sir? I didn't see anyone. You just started chasing someone."

"There was no one, Clazer," Vinneta said from right behind the guard. "I saw you running aimlessly." she continued.

"You are lying" I shouted, I quickly rushed to the car and ordered the driver to drive me to the cyber station.

I had my one friend there, I need to find the owner of the sim card.

It's someone named: Kabir Ruther.

He informed me that this number was traced back to London but was issued from America as an International number.

But he can't track his location.
Who is Kabir?
Was he in a black hoodie?
Even Ruder was talking about him?

-----------------------

In Ruder's home,
POV: Narrator.

Vinneta was totally ready to accept that Clazer must have forgotten about Kabir, but now Clazer still can't accept the new him, Ruder is not as rich as his friends are he is a middle-family son and has to face many challenges. He studied with Clazer in the same school and college and received a scholarship for his studies always. He lives with his father who is a policeman but still, their life is complete.

Ruder's mom died when he was 10 years old, and his dad Mr. Williams looked after Ruder.

Ruder tried to unlock the door with keys when he realized that the door was opened,

"I thought you will be late today?" Ruder mumbled in awe.

"Today there was no crime so work got finished early, so I thought I can cook for us today"

"How's Clazer? " his dad inquired

"Fine"

"Recovery Rate? "

"Hmmm, Yeah, he is recovering fast. Still complains of that hallucination thing. "

"That's not something new. He is your good friend, he always cared about you and now it's your turn."

"Yeah, I am helping him" Ruder in irritation.

"I still remember when you were, 8 years old, crying in a park near the school because I couldn't pick you up thanks to my late shift. Then you were teased and bullied by students of junior school. And Clazer appeared as god beating them all to death in the garden with the help of his driver. That's when you meet each other for the first time and you decided to make each other your friend for your whole life. He requested his dad to admit you to the school in which he used to study. But I am happy with my small government job and house. I knew that now you have grown up, earned the best college with your hard work, and got someone to tell you."

"I know that I still remember" Ruder drank a glass of water from the kitchen.

SUDDENLY RUDER PHONE RINGS.

Ruder answer the call from an unknown caller,
"HELLO RUDER, CLAZER IS ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL. " that's the voice of Mr. Oath. He was breathing heavily with a hooked voice.

"What? When.?" Ruder shockingly

"Today evening"

"Jesus, I am coming, send me the hospital's name and address"

Phone calls ended.

"Dad I am going to the hospital, Clazer is admitted to hospital again."

"God's give him strength. Wait I will come with you"

-------------------

In the hospital

Ruder asked Nurse about the newly admitted patient due to a health emergency. The nurse informed them to visit the private ICU again, and both of them rushed toward the Room, outside the Room was Mr. Oath seating on a hospital couch.

"What happened? Mr. Oath?"

"He returned home from the park and started talking to his dead mother again, I told him, she is dead 6 and a half years ago. I don't want to hurt him. But he started arguing again that she is seating here right ahead of us. I picked up the vase and aim in the direction he was pointing, he got angry and lost consciousness. "

"What you did do? You know that cause unconscious always whenever you tell him the truth in this violent way. " Ruder yelled at Mr. Oath and he began to cry.
