Next day in Morning, Chris woke up and saw Saraya was sleeping on the garden's bench.
He walked to her, covered her with a blanket.
She opened her eyes startled.
"Oh I didn't mean to wake you up," said Chris.
"No, it's okay. I was already awake," replied Saraya.
"Wait! You didn't sleep all night?" Chris asked worriedly.
Saraya shook her head and said," let's go make breakfast for Jacob."
"But there are cooks for this," replied Chris.
"Oh yes. I forgot." Saraya rolled her eyes.
After having breakfast all of them changed into black clothes.
Dana and Saraya wore a black knee-length dress while Jacob and Chris were wearing a tux.
Jacob was trying to wear a tie while Dana walked in and helped him wearing the tie.
"You know I'm always with you." she looked deeply into his eyes.
"Yes I know," he replied.
"Jacob. Baby, please be strong. I don't like watching you like this." Dana kissed his cheeks.
Chris and Saraya were standing behind the door smiling.
"What a perfect love story," Chris whispered.
"Yes. I'm glad Jacob found a wonderful girl for himself." nodded Saraya.
They both walked in the room.
"So you guys are ready?" asked Saraya.
"Dana doesn't leave Jacob alone today. Stay by his side no matter what," she added.
They reached the graveyard where many people came for condolences and the whole media was present there.
"Mr Jacob! It was really bad to hear the news about your mother. What will you do now?" One of the reporters blocked Jacob's way.
"No questions." he tried to pass the crowd but another reporter blocked his way.
"Mr Jacob we heard your mother was on drugs. Was her character bad?"
Hearing this Jacob's blood boiled and face became red.
He clenched his jaws and was about to hit the man just then Saraya walked forward and said," I told you all to give us some privacy and please don't talk rubbish about a dead woman. At least spare her! Go away otherwise, I'll call the security." she said calmly.
While Chris and Dana took Jacob in.
A woman was staring angrily at Saraya but she didn't notice the woman and went inside.
After the funeral all the people gathered there came one by one for condolences.
Saraya was attending the guests while a woman came and stood beside her facing front.
She was a tall and slim woman with such delicate features and her facial expressions showed her angry face.
"I see you are treating everybody well," she said.
Saraya turned her face towards her and said," Megan."
She took a deep breath and said," How dare you talked to paparazzi about my mother?" she raised a brow.
"Well. I have no bad intention. I was helping Jacob." she replied.
"Is it your duty to help him?" she asked narrowing her eyes.
"Yes, it is. He's my friend and I have all the rights to help him," said Saraya.
"I told you to stay away from him. Don't you understand?" Megan shouted a bit loud.
People nearby stared them, she smiled at them and said," Stay away from my brother. You have done enough. Consider this a warning to you." she whispered angrily.
"I will not. Unless he says so. And why are you so concerned about him? You left him years ago." Saraya frowned.
"You slut! You are nothing but a goddamn p********e who seduces rich men just for money. Nice people like Jacob doesn't deserve a w***e like you that's why your parents abandoned you." she gave her an icy stare.
When Saraya heard those words, tears shimmered her eyes, she quickly lifted her face down and tried not to cry but continuous tears were falling from her eyes.
She listened to the rest of Megan's insult with eyes buried on the ground.
"Is there a problem?" A stranger walked to them and asked in a polite tone.
The man looked at Saraya who became a statue, looking down with tears in her eyes.
He stared her a few minutes, then without saying a word she left from there.
The man raised a brow and said," What's the matter?"
Megan quickly stepped forward and said," Aaron! It's been a long time." she smiled widely.
As she was about to hug him, he took a step back. "Mr King. Call me Mr King," he said.
"Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't know I have to call you by your last name." she winced.
"Now you know?" he asked.
She nodded embarrassingly.
"So is there a problem with that girl?" he asked.
"Oh I'm afraid not," she replied.
"Who was she and why were you scolding her?" he asked calmly.
"She was no important, Mr King. Don't bother. Oh, and did you met Jacob?" she asked.
Saraya's POV:
Everything was going fine till Megan arrived. I decided to avoid her because I knew she will say something that might hurt me. After hearing those harsh words, I couldn't control my tears, I wanted to slap her so bad but I remembered Jacob and stopped myself. I bear her insulting words. When she mentioned my parents I felt like a bus hit me. My heart suddenly became so heavy. I tightened my jaw so that I couldn't say something. I left before more people like that man could come and ask the matter.
Saraya ran from there and walked on the road.
She walked and walked and saw the beach, sat on the bench near the water.
She admired the view and cried secretly.
Hours passed by she kept on sitting there.
An old man saw her and walked to her. "The thunderstorm will start soon, you should go home. Your parents must be waiting," he said.
"I have no one to wait for me." she gave a weak smile.
After a few minutes, the heavy rain along with the wind started falling.
Within a second the whole beach was empty and Saraya was all wet.
She looked here and there, the sound of the wind and heavy raindrops were loud enough to frighten her.
After talking to Mr King, Jacob looked for Saraya among the people but couldn't found her.
"Dana! Where is Raya?" he asked.
"Raya. She was here. Wait I'll check. Chris could you please stand with him for a while?" she looked here and there finding Saraya.
A few minutes later Dana came running to Jacob. "Jacob! Jacob!" she breathed hard.
"What is it? Relax." he moved his hand on her back to relax her.
"Megan and Raya had an argument back there and Megan insulted her so bad that she left from here crying." she took a deep breath.
Jacob tightened his fist and clenched his jaw.
Chris got angry too.
"That b***h!" Jacob cursed his sister.
"Find her!" said Jacob and left from there.
Chris ran to the parking lot, asked Saraya's assistant," Where is Saraya?"
Joey got nervous and said," I don't know she was inside with you guys. Isn't she?"
"Call her," said Chris.
Joey called her a few times and got no answer. "She isn't picking up."
Jacob and Dana tried to find her.
Jacob's eyes fixed on Megan.
A rage of anger flushed all over his body and walked fast towards her. "Why did you do it?" he asked glowering her.
She was talking to some people, winced and politely excused them.
"What did I do?" she asked crossing her hands.
"You know what I'm talking about. Raya! What did you say her?" he gritted his teeth.
"Well I reminded her, her reputation and position," she smirked.
"I told her that rich people like us like you don't have to be seen with her. She has a bad reputation," she added.
"God damn it!" he held his head with both of his hands.
"How could you? Why did you? She is my best friend. Don't you know?" he clenched his jaw.
"Jacob! I'm your sister. Don't talk to me like that. I haven't said anything wrong." she said angrily.
"Do you know what people say? That you and she are sleeping together and that you and her having a secret affair. People say she is your mistress!" she said.
"Let them say whatever they want to. f**k them! I don't care." he frowned.
"But I do. A famous actor like you doesn't have to be seen with a characterless girl like her. Why don't you understand?" she said in pity.
"Megan!" he shouted and raised a hand to hit her but stopped.
"Don't force me to do this," he said.
"You will regret this. Mark my words!" she screamed in anger.
"Leave!" he shouted.
Megan stared him blankly then left without saying a word.
He held his head with one hand and the other hand was resting on his waist and he was continuously walking back and forth.
"f**k!.......Fuck!" he shouted.
He quickly took his phone out and dialled a number.
"Chris? Did you find her? Okay." he hung up the phone and dialled another number saying," Hey DJ. Did Raya come to your place by any chance? No? Okay." without listening to him, he ended the call.
