I look at the page in clear astonishment, if there is Carper's name than there can be more as well. But the sad truth is that everything is so jumbled up that I can hardly make out anything else. The reason that I can see Carpers name, is because it has been highlighted, just like the page in Paul's room. What could this mean?

"And.... here is her great art book! Her master gifted it to her, she was very excited about it." She says handing me a book. "Who was her master?" I ask, whenever I think of Tania having a master, the black man comes in my mind. She shrugs her shoulders and is about to say something when her phone rings.

"Hello! Mom?"

"Oh... no I'm just at the lake."

"Yes its very sad! She was a great teacher!"

"What about her?"

"OK I'll be there. Bye!"

With that she shuts the phone. I know that they have been talking about Tania., "I have to go, my mother says it is very important!" She says in a hurry and runs away in her car. She just acted really weird!

It definitely had to do something with her mother's call.

"I would like to have your potato sticks and cream shake." I tell the waiter and wait for Paul to order, "Um mm, I would have your mini turkey pizza with a drink." He says. The waiter then disappears, I take in the highly polished restaurant, the lighting is bright and the table cloths are red, typical.

"So, when do you go back to work?" He asks, making me uncomfortable. I haven't thought about work lately, I guess my mind has been distracted, "Well.... I plan on rejoining office on this Thursday." I tell him. Though I'm not so sure.

"Ahhh.... two days from now, I'm sure it would be good for you to work. You know it might get your mind of off things." He says the last to words very coldly. "Actually son, I want a suggestion from you, I am planning on dyeing my hair, what colour do you think would be appropriate?"

I try my best not to choke. Paul has very light hair, which are already greyish, and by his looks he doesn't even look like a Russian, "I.... I am wordless." I say and he looks at me surprised, I quickly try to cover it up,

"I mean, you've gotten nice hair, and you wouldn't even lookin your forties. I mean most people in their forties would have more grey hair....." I stop before I realise that I am looking like an idiot. "So are you suggesting that I do not dye my hair?" He asks, definitely offended.

I lean back in my chair, trying to sound calm, "I never said that! If you really want to dye your hair than brown would look the best." His expression changes from surprise to comfort, "That's what I think too. And by the way I was wondering........" he is interrupted by the waiter coming with our orders.

Once he places our foods, I ask him to continue, "Well, I was wondering if you cleaned my room today?" He asks with his mouth full, he definitely made me uneasy, "Yes Paul, yes I did." I confirm and his hand flies to his pockets where as I take a bite of my potatoes, god they're hot!

He takes out a folded piece of page, and I think that it is that page, "Why did you not take care of this?" He asks, I look out of the window, it is really dark now, "Well, I was going to take care of it when the door bell rang and then I got engaged." I tell him calmly.

"Then are you saying that you didn't take a look at it?" He asks, he is pushing it, badly. I really don't have a clue about what answer he wants? I don't say anything for a while, I just drink my shake. "I think that this paper is going to be very important to you. It is about your brother and your mother, have a look at this." He says handing me the paper.

"You know to tall you the truth Tania was a hideous person, and do nevr follow her, as she did something only Hitler would do!" He says leaving me astonished.
