Chapter 8. Fake Love
12 December 2022
POV: Narrator
The doctor finished looking over Sirania's diary pdf he peeked at his wristwatch and stared back at Clazer, "That was very stupid of you to agree to all her terms." He commented.
"I didn't want to disappoint dad, so I agreed to it anyway." Clazer let it out in a sad tone trying to avoid further conversation.
"24th December is the day of decision, here we are on 12th December, 12 days left, what will happen? Also, since when did you and your dad start agreeing on matters? Tell me that first."
"Since mom left us," Clazer replied coldly.
"Hmm, About my first question."
"I will tell you when the right time comes," Clazer said staring at his phone.
"Hmmm. What happened next?" The doctor picked up the pen and started making notes.
"I want to confess something before I continue," Clazer said still staring at his phone.
"Yeah? Feel free to share anything, don't worry, a doctor is a patient's best secret keeper. What happens in this room stay inside this room."
"It wasn't like dad actually got an idea about doing business in England, It was me who asked his secretary to highlight the issue of profit that will be earned by investing in Deroz company...
I also made sure that Sirania's mom understands the profit they will earn by dealing together by paying his personal Secretary more than he could imagine." Clazer clarified and waved his phone in the air to show the doctor.
"Looks like my phone is dead, can I put it on charging? I have a charger with me." he continued.
Clazer gets up from his seat and starts voice recording.
On
00.00.01....
"So don't tell me now you knew Sirania before!" Doctor asked.
"I disagree, I didn't know about Deroz's family background, but I did know Mrs.Deroz has two daughters."
"Is this how this all started? Is this where Kabir comes into play? And what is a girl sitting in a different country who didn't even know you have to do with it?" Doctor inquired.
"All I wanted was to get close to Deroz, via business. That was all I had in mind. But when Sirania reached me through her stupid confession, she made a way for me, I couldn't resist but use it as an opportunity."
"Opportunity for what? revenge?" the doctor questioned him back.
"For Kabir......" Clazer said and sat back on his seat.
The doctor let out a heavy sigh.
"So were all those feelings of yours a lie?"
"Can't Say... Sirania's diary pdf had no entries after 1st September. I believe that she wrote it purposefully for me to read. Also, I never saw her write after that."

14 September 2021
I got ready for college and the driver dropped me off, I wasn't allowed to drive.
At college, almost every student treated me like a Prince. Most of the girls swooned over me. But I never thought that one of them would directly approach my dad and that he would agree.
I was informed by my so-called friends that Sirania has won the college beauty contest every time since freshman year, and she was the dream girl of many boys.
During lunch, I walked out of my class to the class next door. Leaning against the classroom door, looking for Sirania, when I spotted her seating close to the window, my heart skipped beats when her hair kept following with the flow of air, I addressed in a deep voice "Dear, can you come out for a while please?" I pointed outside the door with my thumb.
I did not mean to flex it but observing the way all the girls looked at me, I knew they were jealous.
Sirania was in shock for a while, she couldn't handle all of this as well as the rest of the class.
Cristina hissed, "I think he is calling you."
Sirania was out of her trance. "Yes...yes...Yes" she said in a shaky voice as she attempted to hide her face behind her small fingers, her cheeks turned color to rival the rose-pink hue of her nail polish and shone through the gaps.
She walked out and I held her hand. I started walking with her to the college's garden, everyone was watching us from the top of the gallery.
"I read your diary." I initiated the conversation.
"You didn't call me so I...I thought you didn't want to start anything or didn't finish reading it yet." she said in a sad tone avoiding eye contact, her cheeks still flushed.
"I am a quick reader, daily Wattpad user, Ms. Overthinker..." I pat her head softly teasing her. Even though I knew it was fake...I went with the flow...because my heart couldn't take it on.
"Okay, I will go now," Sirania said, blushing again.
She couldn't even make eye contact, she turned her head to the side to avoid looking at me, but the sudden rosiness of her cheeks gave her away.
"Where?" I asked. Gripping her hand tight, I pulled her closer to me.
I quickly ran my fingers through her hair, it was fun teasing her.
"To..to clas...classroom." Sirania baffled, she was so close to me, I could hear her breathing heavily.
"You want us to date for a year, right? That was your plan." I asked her, patting her head. She was like a cute dog, completely red now, she wanted to hide her rosy face from me, so she hugged me.
I laughed aloud, it was quite ticklish I must say.
"No, actually yes, it was my imagination though, you know my dad is a little....." she started blabbering, saying things that didn't make any sense.
"Your dad wants us to date or you?" I doubted her.
"It was me, I take all blame, if you don't want then it's ok. There is no force," she said innocently blaming her old man for it. She was so cute, I couldn't stop laughing.
"I am ready to be your boyfriend for a year, who knows we can work this out pretty well and maybe even marry as per your imagination. I agree with your all conditions."
