Ravana is standing on the terrace looking blankly at somewhere. She slowly leaves cigarette smoke and looks at it being dissolved. Donzai comes and stands behind her.
“I heard Robert was here.” Donzai asks.
“Hmm…” Ravana indifferently answers.
Ravana looks at Donzai. Her eyes look sad. Donzai looks at her worriedly.
“What do you think would happen to Robert if Elsa wouldn't have left him?” Ravana asks.
Donzai feels a bit relieved thinking it’s not about her. He looks at the sky and thinks.
“They would have lived happily ever after?” Donzai says confusedly.
“Why would Elsa leave him if she was happy?” Ravana asks.
Donzai looks at Ravana and signs. He doesn’t know what to say.
“He looked different today. He seemed a lot like before.” Ravana says.
“What did you guys talk about?”
“About life…”
Donzai looks at Ravana being confused. He lights a cigarette,
“Maybe he was like that because he was missing Emma. Today is her birthday, you know.” Donzai leaves smoke.
“TODAY IS EMMA'S BIRTHDAY!” Ravana shouts.
“Yeah…”
“Oh my gosh! I forgot.”
Ravana immediately calls Kevin.
“Hello, Kevin. Immediately buy something amazing that a twenty years old will love! Fast!”
“For Miss Emma?” Kevin asks.
“How do you know?”
“Today is her birthday…”
“Even you know! Why didn’t you tell me before?”
Ravana starts to go down to her cabin.
“I reminded you yesterday.”
“I forgot, okay!”
“No worries. I already bought something for her.”
“Great. Make sure she receives and likes it! I will leave it to you!”
Ravana writes a message to Emma wishing her a happy birthday.
Stephney is walking in the corridor of the hotel. She thinks about checking on Robert. Robert lives in a suite at the hotel. She opens the door and comes inside. Robert is sleeping. She was about to leave when she saw a cake on the table. "Happy Birthday, Emma" is written on the cake. A piece is eaten from there and the rest is just lying there.
"I forgot about her birthday... Today was a bad day to take leave!" Stephney looks at Robert and mumbles.
Stephney cuts a piece of the cake and eats. She sits there staring at the cake.
Exactly a year ago, on this day she met Robert. Stephney gets a bit of flashback from that day.
Stephney was working at the bar when she got a call.
“Hello Steph?” A male voice from the other side.
“Yeah”
“I have a client for you. But let me tell you this first, he is a total jerk.”
“What about the payment?”
“Don't worry about payment. He is loaded. Just his personality…”
“I am not marrying him. As long as he pays properly that's enough!” Stephney said in a cold tone.
