Faryah

15.

----------------Los Angeles, California

---------------------- Olyster residence( same night)

I staggered as I walked into the mansion, I was broken. I needed Pamela by my side. She was the only one I could think of right now. I pushed the door open and walked to the living room, throwing myself on the couch.

She was throwing away all the years we spent together, she was throwing the memories and promises all away. As if it meant nothing to her. It was my fault for lying, but it wasn't a valid reason for her to break up with me. It was not a valid reason for her to throw everything away. My eyes were red from all the tears that poured out of them. I was so hurt.

" Khalid?" That was Neill. My nice step brother. His voice had a touch of class, easy to recognise anywhere. " Sup" I answered, not even trying to look at him. I heard him sit beside me. " What's up dude?, Faryah's dead?, I never thought you two were that attached" How could he possibly think that she was dead. He had a pretty crazy imagination. " No, she's still in her coma" I answered with a whisper. " Then what's up?" He asked again. He was going to find out eventually. " Ella broke up with me" I said again in a whisper. There came the awkward silence I was waiting for.

" Want to talk about it over some drinks?" He asked and I shook my head. Him of all people knew I didn't drink alcohol. " give it a try this time, or fine I'll get you a can of coke" he said as he got up and walked to the kitchen.

I really didn't know what to do with my life right now, all my plans, I had Pamela in all of them, now they were all ruined, all gone. " Here" I collected the chilled coke that he handed over to me, I took a big gulp and felt a little bit calm. He sat beside me, he took a can of coke too. " Talk to me" I sighed as he said that.

" I lied to her about Faryah, I didn't tell her about Faryah being my wife, she asked me to marry her when I got back from Indonesia and I agreed, without telling her the truth, so she found out and ended things earlier today, I'm still wondering who told her, I told Mother, Brandon and Grandfather not to tell her" I revealed to him and took another gulp out of my can coke. " It's Sophia obviously" Sophia. She was always causing trouble. Always. " But you know, she helped you, if you had lied to her longer and she found out through another source, it wouldn't have been nice, It's good she found out now" Neill added. She did, Ethan and the others were right. " I tried explaining things to her but she still broke up with me, it hurts Neill" I felt a tear roll down my cheek. " You'll be fine"

" I'm trying to find who to blame you know and pour out all my anger on, I wanted to blame Faryah, she's at fault, if she didn't agree to the wedding, I wouldn't be like this, but I can't find it in my heart to be mad at her" I said again. I wasn't thinking straight. " You are not thinking straight, how can you blame Faryah, I'm sure she didn't want to marry you either, she did it for her grandpa like you did for Grandpa Julius, don't blame anyone, you're the one to blame for lying to Pamela" He was right, always right. " Faryah seems nice, you can move on with her, she's already your wife" I wasn't in the mood for his jokes.

" You know Khalid, I'm going to confess something to you" I was the one that needed advice now. Not him. " What?" I asked. " I'm in love with Faryah" that took a different turn. I didn't know what to say, I had a lot on my mind. How could he possibly fall in love with Faryah when he was crazy about Sandra. How did he even fall in love with her?, why did he even fall in love with her?.

" You're crazy about Sandra" I answered and looked at him. " I don't know anymore Khalid. Ever since I saw Faryah on your wedding day, in her dress, her beautiful white dress, she looked so innocent and fragile and very beautiful, her beauty captivated my heart Khalid, it was like love at first sight" I couldn't believe this was happening. How could that have possibly happened. " what do you mean by that, you want to forget about Sandra, all the times you shared, all the memories and everything, you want to throw them all away just like that?"
