SIYA LEFT THE ROOM AND RETURNED HOME. I WAS UNABLE TO CONCENTRATE ON MY WORK. I KEPT THINKING OF NICHOLAS. "I DON' T THINK IT WAS NICHOLAS' S FAULT. IT WASN' T HE WHO GOT CLOSE TO SIYA. SIYA MUST HAVE TRIED TO GET TO CLOSE TO HIM. HUH? HOW DOES IT MATTER? THE REALITY IS THAT SIYA IS A PREGNANT. SHE IS THE TO - BE - MOTHER AND NICHOLAS IS THE TO - BE - FATHER BUT HE DOESN' T WANT TO ACCEPT IT." SUDDENLY SOMEONE OPENED THE DOOR AND CAME IN. I LOOKED UP. IT WAS ANDREW. HE HAD A SERIOUS EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE. HE SAT ON A CHAIR. 

"HOW ARE WE GOING TO TELL ABOUT THIS TO DAD, SIS'?"

"TELL WHAT?"

"DON' T ACT LIKE YOU DON' T KNOW WHAT JUST HAPPENED. JUST THINK. YOU PROMISED TO DEAL WITH FATHER. MAYBE SIYA WOULD BE SAVED, BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU? DAD WILL KILL YOU WITH HIS MERE LOOK. YOU ARE IN FOR TROUBLE."

"SO WHAT IF I' M IN TROUBLE? SIYA IS ALSO IN TROUBLE. I MEAN, SHE IS IN MORE TROUBLE THAN I AM."

"DON' T GET FOOLED BY HER TRICKS. DO YOU REMEBER? SHE USED TO PLAY A LOT OF PRANKS ON ME AND YOU WHEN WE WERE KIDS. I DON' T TRUST HER. I DON' T KNOW THE PERSON WHO BROKE UP WITH HER BECAUSE WHILE SAYING THIS SHE DIDN' T MENTION HIS NAME BUT I DON' T THINK IT WAS HIS FAULT. SIYA IS SO ANNOYING."

"BUT - "

"NO BUTS." HE CUT IN. "EVERYTIME FATHER SCOLDED YOU INSTEAD OF SCOLDING HER BECAUSE HE DIDN' T KNOW THE TRUTH. YOU USED TO COME TO ME AND SOB LIKE A CHILD. TRY TO REMEMBER ALL THESE EVENTS. I WARN YOU, DO NOT FALL IN FOR HER TRAP THIS TIME."

ANDREW' S WORDS MADE SENSE BUT I DIDN' T THINK SIYA TO BE TRICKING ME THIS TIME. I DIDN' T KNOW WHAT TO DO. "SHOULD I BREAK MY PROMISE OR SHOULD I HELP HER."

"DON' T THINK SO MUCH. SHE IS VERY GOOD AT ACTING. I BET SHE ISN' T TELLING THE TRUTH."

"FINE, FINE. I WON' T HELP HER. YOU CAN RELAX."

***********************************************************************************************

"LINDA IS SUCH A BIG IDIOT. SHE BELIEVED IN ME SO QUICKLY." SIYA WAS BUSY, POURING SOME WHISKEY IN HER GLASS.

"YOU AREN' T DOING SOMETHING RIGHT." NICHOLAS WASN' T VERY COMFORTABLE WHEN HE CAME TO KNOW THAT SIYA WAS TRICKING HER SISTER.

"OF COURSE I' M RIGHT. IF YOU DON' T LIKE ME YOU CAN ALWAYS GO TO MY SISTER' S SIDE. 

"DID I SAY THAT? NICHOLAS WAS ANNOYED.

"OK. FINE."

"WHAT WOULD YOU EARN BY TRICKING HER?"

"I LIKE TO SEE HER BEEING SCOLDED BY FATHER."

"THAT' S IT?"

"YES. I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN MOM CARES FOR HER MORE THAN ME. I WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU STOP ASKING ME QUESTIONS."

NICHOLAS LOOKED AT HER WITH ANGRY EYES. "YOU LOVE ME BUT THAT DOESN' T MEAN THAT YOU CAN ORDER ME TO DO SOMETHING WHICH DOESN' T PLEASE ME."

"NICHOLAS, PLEASE. DON' T SAY THAT YOU JUST GOT ANGRY BECAUSE I TOLD YOU NOT TO SPEAK MORE."

"HUH! FINE."
