The Heptagon

XVIII

Alexandra took her easel, pallete, paint brush and canvas out into the wilderness to hide from Emmanuel as he's currently grounding her. After Alexandra's condition improved, Emmanuel goes easy on her and he decided to return to work. Although Alexandra might have lost all her memory, her gift and talent for art remains. Just as Alexandra was about to finish a painting of her and Emmanuel, a guy approached her and complimented her drawing, "Such great talent you have..." Alexandra stood up and bowed to the guy as a form of thanks. "Hey, aren't you Alexandra..." the guy asked. Alexandra nodded her head happily, "You know me?" The guy sighed, "I think you forgot we were in the same school, I'm Jeral..." Alexandra smiled and shook his hand, "I like your name!" She beamed. Jeral noticed that there was a guy and girl in Alexandra's painting. "Lemme guess, this is you and that's your boyfriend?" Jeral pointed to the girl and guy respectively. Alexandra shook her head, "That's just my crush. I really like him... but I'm too lousy for him. I lack of qualification... he's some excellent psychologist while I'm unemployed..." Jeral laughed and said to  Alexandra that its impossible for such a talented and pretty girl to not find happiness. Jeral then said to her, "If one day, everyone rejects you, come look for me again. I'll accept you." Alexandra laughed at Jeral's retarded sentence, "Oh God, my curfew is up, Emmanuel will be back anytime... it was nice meeting you, Jeral! I have to go now... I'll see you soon!!" She beamed as she packed up and ran off. Jeral was left in smiles.

"WHAT?! YOU ARE BREAKING UP WITH ME NOW?! HOW COME?!" Kenneth exploded. Estella growled, "There's nothing between us already. Let me go..." Estella was about to pull her baggauges out when Kenneth stopped her. "Estella. We still have a child right?" Estella was stunned that Kenneth found out about their child. "The child is dead. I did an abortion." Estella snapped. Kenneth's heart skipped a beat, "You... you what?! How could you?!" Estella told Kenneth how the child is going to suffer now that he's financially tight, and lied to Kenneth that she is returning to United Kingdom to find her dad and start a new life. Since then, Estella and Kenneth's relationship is over. Kenneth was so vexed and upset that he's child was being killed by Estella just like that, and he vows to take revenge for his dead child...

 Melissa sat foward and her face was 5cm away from Bryan, "You seriously don't remember a thing?" Bryan gave her a confused look. "Huh? Remember? Yah! I remember! I'm your younger brother." Melissa sighed and shook her head, "Okay. How did you look like when you were young?" Bryan was speechless. Melissa then spilt out the truth that Bryan actually did stay with Annabelle and Jeral, and she and Bryan isn't blood related, as she only saved him while she was on Camp Rescue Duty. "So that's why I found Annabelle and Jeral so familiar... But I still don't believe you." Melissa facepalmed at the stubborn guy, so she took the next few days to think of a solution to help him get back his memory, instead of bringing him to an expert.

3 months later, Estella decided to persue her own career to provide a living for herself, since she has already left her child. She continued making use of her false name Alexandra to apply for a position in the Art Museum. Just as she reached the bus stop, she noticed a familiar figure, she slowly walked towards the girl. As soon as she peeked at the girl's face, Estella dropped her clutch. "It can't be Alexandra... She's dead! I threw her in the well 4 years ago... Impossible..."  Estella started panicking as Alexandra could have exposed her crime. "Hi Miss! Do you need help?" Alexandra beamed cheerfully and asked. "AH I'M SORRY!!!" Estella fell on her knees. Alexandra seemed astounded by her actions.

"Alexandra!" Emmanuel called out to her from the car. Before entering the car, she helped Estella up onto the bench. Alexandra took out a piece of paper and pen, she wrote her handphone number on it, "If you need help call my number, I'm Alexandra! I'm not very sure of my surname but take it as Ng since Emmanuel's surname is Ng. Bye!" She then skipped into Emmanuel's car. Emmanuel asked who was that girl that she was talking to. "I don't know actually, but she seemed like a really nice girl! Although she did kneel on the ground and apologized to me... which I don't know why..." Emmanuel then suddenly thought of something, which made him jammed break the car. Alexandra yelled, "Yah! You should really learn how to drive properly. Aish~"
