[Don't get confused. I am starting Edwin's chapter from the night when Celeste helped him in getting home].

There was a knock on his door. But the person did not wait for him to answer and bragged inside furiously.


"Are you going to get up?" the old man shouted at his son.

Edwin was already awake due to shouting from his father but he still pretended to be asleep.

"How beautiful it is….. to see my 30 years old son getting drunk and outsiders are calling". He was being sarcastic.


She called? A question popped up.

"Its been four years you are behaving like this. What the hell is wrong with you? Do you want to see me dead?"


Edwin was getting irritated. He got up and looked at his dominating father harshly. "Why are you talking about dying? Weren't you the same in the past too? You are reaping what you sow. Because of those fu***** habits of yours my mother died. If you will die too I won't have any regrets". His eyes were getting red.

His father stood there still, "Get married as soon as possible". He ordered and left his son inside the room. Edwin threw a crystal decoration piece on the door, "If this is what you want I will never do it…." He shouted from behind.

His head was hurting badly and his father made it worse. Edwin stumbled and went to freshen up. He became a commercial pilot because he wanted to run away from this house, before his father would find him even at the end of the world within two day. Now, he can peacefully leave the country without fearing for being found out.

His mood was already spoiled. He received a call at the moment. The person told him about the facts for which he hired him. "Okay I understand". Edwin said.

He felt bad about his behavior. He made another call and the person attended his call after a long time. He was getting anxious but when she finally attended the call and spoke his mood was lifted up. "Why are you calling me now? Don't you ever dare to call me again I am very busy".

She scolded him and he listened to it quietly. He hesitated for a bit, "I am sorry Celeste……"

Celeste was stunned to hear an apology from his mouth; it was like an eighth wonder in the world. "What…. What did you say?" It was like she had not heard correctly.

He did not want to repeat again but it was his mistake, 4years ago too and months ago too. He needed money for her brother and he treated her like a prostitute. Maybe she was right; he didn't know how to respect women. It was because he has never seen his father treating her respectfully. The word respect he doesn't know the meaning of this world.

But he wants to treat her differently. He wants to say all those words to her he has never said before. The guilt of treating her badly was weighing down his heart.

"I said I am sorry…." He gritted his teeth.

Celeste laughed. "Did the sun rise from the west today?"

"And thank you…" he bombarded another bomb on her head.

Celeste was quiet this time. She felt something was wrong with him. He was not his usual self. "oh Okay". She awkwardly said.

He hung up.

Edwin got ready in his uniform, his bags were fully packed. He was going to Mexico for a flight and before going he wanted to talk to her.

Celeste was working in the office when she received his call. She felt overwhelmed by his attitude. He was sad. She could easily feel it. But what was the reason she could not tell.

Her life was finally getting on track. Ian got released from the lawsuit and got admission in a sports university.

She got a good job and was relieved. Finally the struggle of 24 years was coming to an end.

But does she know life does not go the way we want it........

After a week,

It was a snowy night. Celeste finally wrapped up her work and came outside. She was unaware that it was snowing. She looked at the sky and sighed. Despite the harsh weather she started to walk. A horn honked from behind, she turned to glance at the luxurious car. He downed the window and signaled her from his fingers to come and sit. Celeste glared at him and ignored the man.

He opened the door and ran behind her. "Stop". He tried to hold her wrist but she dodged it. "What do you want now? Can't you leave me?"

"I want to have a talk with you". He looked serious.

"Listen up Edwin, I already had enough of you. Now please…. Please stop this drama and there is nothing left for us to talk about. I regret… regret meeting you". Her eyes were filled with hatred.

His eyes were getting teary. But there was a sad smile on his lips. "You hate me?" he asked.

"Yeah I despise you with the core of my heart". It did not even take a second for her to reply. Celeste pointed at him, "People like you make fun of weaknesses. In what situation I was… you had no idea but you slapped me and treated me like a…." Words were stuck in her throat. Why she was getting so emotional, why his words were hurting her so much she had no idea.

He looked in her eyes, "Hate me as much as you want…. I deserve it". Edwin turned towards his car and took out an umbrella. Without saying anything he placed it in her hand and left.

He roamed around the roads for the whole night. The hatred in her eyes was killing him.
