The lost smile

36

I was glad that Xavier was not angry with me, I was really worried for him when he went unconscious suddenly in the restruant without thinking anything, I quickly brought him back at his home. The prank U did on Ria to stop their romantic date and teach her lesson. Did you drink alot?" I asked him curiously." No, Xavier. Never drinks," Maya Xavier's mom replied me.

"I have only took a sip of a wine, because Ria insisted me so much," Xavier's answered glanced at me. The things were strange that he only took a sip of wine and went unconscious." She did the same things as her mother had did once with me," Maya face was red in anger." What do you mean? " Xavier and I ask- ed her together." She had spiked his drink, she must have planned something evil but Sophia's prank halt- ed her plan," she said clearing our doubts." Yes, you are right. That's why she regularly insisted me for a drink. Although I refused it," Xavier's eyes grew wider in relization of Ria's truth. Rage throbbed inside me like a heartbeat and wanted to punch Ria's face very badly. Earlier I was a bit guilty for the prank, but now I am delight that I did to her what she deserved." I don't think she is pregnant with Xavier's body," I said furrowing my eyebrows daubtedly. If she can spiked his drink, then she might lie also." Yes, Xavier my son stop believing her and ruined your life in her lies," Xavier's mom Maya also tried to pursade him. We averted our gaze to Xavier's gloomy face, in the hope that he will persuade and understand Ria's lies and tricks." Mom and Sophia. I am confused right now. If she is lying then I will he guilty in my entire life," his face hardened and eyes flashes with sorrow. I felt so bad for his restlessness that he was stuck between lies and guilt. The same feeling that I had once gone through, he has lost his smile in the same way like mine had lost." We will faced it together," I interwined my fingers with his. His gaze averted on our interwined hands and exhaled a long breath. Maya asked Xavier to call Ria in their private hospital to have the DNA test. Xavier, Maya, Zack and I were already in the hospital and waiting for Ria. She came in the hospital with a aged-lady who had the same eyes of Ria and looked familar with her. Meanwhile, Maya short and crossed her arms over her chest. Zack body tensed and hug- ged Maya in his arms." Who is she?" I asked Xavier infuriating. The lady wore tight dress and dipped her face in more makeup than Ria." She is Liza. Ria's mother," Xavier replied me. I mouthed to him. She was Liza, and zack's ex and she was the one whom Maya hates." Hello, Zack dear," Liza comes forward to hug Zack. But Maya stopped her in between and glared her. She rolled her eyes and scrunched her nose in disgust looking at Maya's face." Why did you called my daughter here?," Liza asked arrogantly." We will have DNA test of Ria body," Maya informed her." Is she joking Zack? Your son made her pregnant and now he is doing same just like you, running away from his responsibilities," Liza said blandly to Zack." If Ria is carrying Xavier's body then he will surely take his responsibilities. It's my promise," Zack said strenly. Liza gave a lopsided grin at his answer. As, she glanced at me and narrowed her eyes," we will see to it," The doctor came and took Ria with her. Inside the room for the medical test.

After an hour, Ria and the doctor stepped out of the room. "The reports will be in an hour. Till then you have to wait," the doctor informed us."We will wait for the reports," Maya answered will her back. The was doctor nodded her head in response, but as she was leaving she glanced at Ria and blinked her eyes fewer times. I felt something wrong in between them, as my intution were kicking me out. Ria and Liza sit in the next bench of us. They both were whispering something and had a sly smile on their face. Xavier exhaled a deep breath and topped his fingers in anxiety. "Just be calm, everything will be okay," I mumbled, tried to calm his anxiety. "I hope so too," he replied in saddness. His hands were cold and clammy in panic. as I touched it. I could not do anything in this difficult situation except supporting him. But I have to go check on the doctor once, I feel there was something she was hiding. I excused myself to drink water, and moved to the corridors. where I could find the doctor. Then, I stapped at the door of pathology. Laboratory the doctor's voice was heard. slowly, I twisted the knob of the door and opened the door "Just changed the reports.

As I have asked you," the doctor said to the other girl. "Okay madam," she replied giving a curt nod. The doctor turned off her heels, before she saw me. I quickly closed the door and hid in the next room. I sighed in relief and walked out of the room 5 minutes. I was confused about which Reports she was asking change. I should asked her junior, but she would help me or not? I stepped inside the pathology laboratary and saw the same girl whom the doctor was giving Order. As her gaze teared from the test tube to me, she asked me." who are You? How did you came inside?" I am Sophia and your doctor Claire special patient." "But mom you are not allowed here," I took out Five hundred dollars from my pocket and kept on the desk. "I will give you this in return. It's for someone's life sake. Please help me," I requested her in the hope . She might help me as she does not looked like a selfish type girl. "Mom, I won't take money. But I will help you," she smiled. I was relief that she agreed your to me." What Clair your senior doctor had asked to change? "She asked me to change the reports of a patient Rio's DNA test. The samples are not matching with the Xavier's.

DNA Sample," she said while forwarding the reports to me. I took the report and saw it was clear that Ria was not carrying Xavier's baby. I always felt she was lying to us. "So you will state that she is pregnant with his child," I asked her. "Yes, clair has asked me to do it. Though, I said her not to do but she is the a threatened me, "she sighed heavily. "Don't worry. Clair will not able to do anything," I stated her. Then, I asked her to prepared the reports as Clair had asked her and the real report I kept it in my pocket "When I will call you then please come infront of Clair's Cabin. And I promise nothing will happen to you," I gave her assurity so that she didn't back off. "Okay, I will be there. I don't want to do wrong things that will destroy someone life," she said sadly. "Thank you" I came back to Xavier, he looked in a complete state of fear. I can't tell him now, I have to wait for the right moment. I sat near him and interwined our hands. Soon, everything will be good and we will be back together.
