Ethane’s POV
“I love her so much” his voice was cracking and I could understand how he must be feeling. Not having someone you love can be quite disheartening and heart breaking even for the toughest person.
“What if she doesn’t love you anymore?” I tilted my head.
“Then I don’t know what I would do…why can’t she just understand that I didn’t break her heart. I never intended to lie to her because even I myself I am still in shock” he continued to shake his head.
I couldn’t bear to see my friend so heartbroken.
“It’s been 2 years already,” I reminded him.
“Time didn’t change anything.. I still love her, even more than I did before” he scratched his head roughly with all ten of his fingers and messed up his hair.
“I never even got to tell her the truth…she never gave me a chance to explain herself. I am losing my mind just by thinking about her Ethane, I have everything but without her I feel like I have nothing” Scott let his tears flow.
“She is getting married tomorrow…they are giving away my love. ” Scott slammed his fist on the glass stool in front of him, shattering it to pieces.
“Then you should go back and fight for your love” I replied back almost immediately.
“How I’m I supposed to do that when she doesn’t even want to see me?” Scott stood up and looked away from me.
“If you really love her…you would ensure that she doesn’t get married to anybody who is not you” I tapped him on the shoulder and left him.
Mara’s POV
I woke up early in the morning and went to mum’s room but she wasn’t there…how weird, I always wake up before she does but anyways I have to go. I have a court hearing today…today is the final hearing for that man’s case.
On the road later that day.
“Why is there so much traffic today? What is going on?”
Mara was lamenting as she was stuck in heavy traffic…she needed to be at the court in the next 15 minutes and she had been waiting in traffic for over 2 hours.
Suddenly someone opened the back door of her car and rushed inside.
“What the heck?” She hurriedly pulled out a gun from her car’s pigeon hole and was about to shoot but paused when she saw who the person was.
“Thief! Thief…catch her” was the first memory that flashed in her head when she saw who had dived into her car.
“You!!!” She dropped the gun back in the pigeon hole…when she looked back, she saw that Mia was hiding from someone that was dressed in black and armed with a gun as well.
Mia had ducked so low that she could hardly be seen. She didn’t even want to know why they were chasing her or why she was hiding from them as she drove off the moment she noticed that the traffic had cleared up.
“Drive slower you are going to kill me…Mia held onto the front seat as Mara drove above the speed limit, she almost got a ticket from a corp.
“You are the one that dived into my car…I am here risking my life to save yours and you are busy complaining” Mara stopped the car when they were far enough.
“I also saved your life so I guess that you can call it even” Mia unknowingly blurted out and covered her mouth immediately.
“Wait! What?” Mara exclaimed…she was so confused.
“Ask you mom…maybe” Mia said again and tilted her head towards her right as she flung the door of Mara’s car open and made her way out.
Later that same day
Mara’s POV
“Good evening mom” I bent down to kiss my mom on the cheek as she sat on the couch.
“Good evening…you are back early today” she dropped the magazine she was holding and stood up to give me a hug.
“How was the court hearing today?” My mum asked me as dhe freed me from her hug.
“It was fine…I won the case” I smiled.
“Obviously…my Mara has never lost a case and she would never lose one right?” My mum looked at me with so much love.
“Yes mum..” I replied with a faint smile and looked away.
“Hey baby girl? What’s wrong?” My mum lifted my chin and looked into my eyes.
“Nothing mum” I tried to lie even when I knew she was going to fish out the lie. She has always managed to find out what I was hiding from her…. she even got to know that I was helping Keren sell drugs in the past.
I seriously wanted to ask her about what that look alike of mine said to me but I didn’t know how to put it. Would she be offended if I do?.
“Mum have you ever…ehrm.. seen..” I took a pause.
“Seen what?” She focused all of her attention on me and that scared me a bit.
“Seen someone that looks like me before and how did she save my life” I said in one breath.
“Mara I think you should go and eat now” my mum ignored my question before she walked away from me.
Rose’s POV
“Why are you breathing so heavily Mia?” I asked Mia as she nearly fell into our apartment.
“I have to go take my bath now” she answered as she struggled to breath and clutched her shirt trying to rub her chest.
It looked like she had been running from a very far distance to the apartment. I looked around when she had entered an apartment and I didn’t see anyone chasing her.
I slammed the door and ran after her but she was faster than me as she had already entered the bathroom.
I leaned on the door with my ear glued to the door and as always it sounded as if Mia was talking to someone again…I couldn’t hear the other voice but Mia was having a serious conversation.
I know Mia isn’t abnormal…I can never believe that Mia talks to herself but ever since I met her that is the kind of behavior she has always exhibited…but now I am starting to worry about her.
