Clara was doing her nails in her house and listening to music . Rach was also wondering why was she not concerned about her relationship . She just broke up with Steven and now she was acting so calm what was going on in her head . Finally she asked her ;

Rachel:  " What are you planning Clara ? "

Clara put down the nail paint that was in her hand " I am not planning anything why will you even think that ? "

Rachel: " Oh come on stop pretending . "

Clara: " What ? I am not pretending . What made you think that I am ? "

Rachel: " You just called off your wedding with Steven and now you are acting so calm . You are eating pan akes and doing your nails . "

Clara: " So how do you expect me to react ? "

Rachel: " Well not like this for sure . You are not crying , you are not panicking . Did I have a wrong conception about breakups or what ? "

Clara: " Oh don't worry about that . "

Rachel: " After being in a relationship with Steven for years you called off your wedding . How can you react like nothing has happened ? Were you with Steven all these years for his money ? "

Clara: " Well nothing has happened . . . . . . . . Nothing has changed . I will marry him and no I was not with him for his money . I love him and he is my property others can't keep an eye on him . I guess I have answered all your questions " She blows her nails to dry the nail paint . 

Rachel: " How can you marry him don't you remember you just called off your wedding . Hello Mam ! where is your mind . "

Clara: " I know what I did but I still stand by my words . "

Rachel: " Then I will ask you to explain yourself . Because everything is going over my head . "

Clara: " Don't you remember the letter . "

Rachel: " Yes I do . You wrote it in front of me . "

Clara: " Good so you know half of the thing . Everything is just a game of that letter . "

Rachel: " Sweetie you think that you are explaining yourself but you are not in fact you are making everything more difficult to understand . "

Clara: " Steven will read that letter and then  he will get drawn towards me . He will come running to me and he will beg me to marry him . I will also shed a few tears and then I will tell him that I feel insecure because he breaks my trust . When clearly he don't do anything to break my trust . He loves me more than I love him bt I will throw all the blame at him and then I will burden will guilt . To an extend that he will plead me to take him back and when I will take him back I will be the bigger person . Frankly he will worship him . Lately I have been feeling that I am losing my control over him . I am doing every thing to tighten my grip . "

Rachel: " I guess it won't be as easy as you are saying . "

Clara: " What are you saying , I am already halfway there . I have such a control over his life he thinks that he won't be able to do anything without me . "

Rachel: " You are a mean b***h I must say . "

Clara: " Tell me something I don't know . "

Rachel: " I always thought that I have a lot of things to teach you about boys but today I have realized that I was so wrong . There are a lot of things that I have to learn from you . Please be my teacher . "

Clara: " Well this is me . "

Rachel: " Since you know everything can you predict by when Steven will be here . "

Clara: " As far as I know him , he must have not stayed for long at Emily's house because he knew I was mad . He must have gotten expensive gifts to cheer me up and then he must have gotten home . Then Estella must have given him the letter . he must have cried for a while after reading the letter then Estella must have asked him to come to me . So according to my calculations he is on the way . "

Rachel: " Are you sure ? "

Clara: " I am one hundred percent sure . "

Rachel: " How could you be so sure . I mean you must be having some doubts at least . "

Clara:  " I don't have any doubts when it comes to Steven . I can see right through the man . "

Rachel: " Why are you punishing him if he loves you . "

Clara: " He called for it . He loves me then he should no that he can't do anything that will hurt me and he will have to stay away from the people I don't like . "

Rachel: " I don't even have to guess that person is Emily . "

Clara: " Yes . . . . . that road side thrash ruined my professional life and now she thinks that she can also ruin my personal life . I will her a taste of her own medicine . "

Rachel: " That is good , that is good . I am proud of you . "

Clara: " Ok Steven must be coming so I will prepare myself to cry . "
