Clara: " So what now ? "

Mindy: " You will go to Tyler's place ? "

Clara: " Yes I have to , Steven is with him . I will have to console him . "

Mindy: " Ok , tell them that when you saw me I was leaving with my lover . You tried to confront me but I was not ready to listen to you . And in the mean time I will go and get rid of this baby . Make sure that Tyler don't find out about it . Keep it a secret . "

Clara: " Ok ! "

Mindy: " And !  "

Clara: " Don't worry I won't let him know anything . "

Mindy: " And also take care of Ty . I know he must be devastated .  "

Clara: " You do care about him , don't you ! "

Mindy: " Of course I do . . . . . . . I . . . . . uh. . . . .I , I mean . . . . . I have loved him all my life . And I really wished for us to stick together ! But you know things don't always go the way you plan them to ! You know . . . . . . . . . . . . we have planned like a zillion of things together but , . . . . . . . . . . they were mere childhood dreams or fantasies . You know like when we are kids we don't care about anything . . . . . . . . . . we don't even give a damn about future but as you grow old you finally wake to reality and you realize how stupid you were earlier to underestimate the power of fate . "

Clara: " I feel bad for you . "

Mindy: " I will be fine, trust me . "

Clara: " Do you feel anything about this baby . "

Mindy: " I fear I don't . . . . . . . . You know I have always hated it so much that my heart has become stone about it . "

Clara: " I think I should be there for you . . . . . . . . . Do you want me to come with you ? "

Mindy: " No I will be fine . "

Clara: " Ok but . . . . but if you will need me for anything just give me a call and I will be there . "

Mindy: " Ok , sure . "

Clara goes to Tyler's house ;

Clara: " Hey Steven ! "

Steven: " Clara . . . . . . what took you so long ? "

Clara: " Actually . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "

Steven: " Did you found her ? What did she say ? Do you have any news that can lighten the tensed situation . "

Clara: " Where is he ? "

Steven: " He has locked himself in the store room . "

Steven: " So , Did you found her ? What did she say ? Do you have any news that can lighten the tensed situation . "

Clara: " I fear I don't ! I rather have some news that Ty won't like to hear . . . . . . . . . . So let's just let it go . He is already going through a harsh time . "

Tyler: " What is it that I won't be able to hear . "

Clara: " Let it go . . . . . . . . . . . . "

Tyler: " No . . . . . No . . . . . No . . . . . . . . I don't want to let it go . . . . . . . . I want to know . . . . . . . . I want to know everything . . . . . . . . . Did you see her ? Was she with that bastard ? Did . . . . . did she looked sad ? Was she in regret ? Or did she look happy ? "

Steven: " You don't have to get into all this man . . . . . . . . Just let it go man . . . . . . There's nothing you could do . . . . Thinking about her will just give you pain . . . . . . . . "

Tyler: " Well tell me this when Clara will leave you at the altar . "

Steven: " Tyler calm down , Please . . . . . . . . . . . . "

Tyler: " My bride just left me . I am nothing but a joke in front of everyone . My relatives are mocking me . My family hates me . Tell me what shall I do . And you guys want me to let go of everything . How can you even think this . I don't get you man . . . . . . . . . . You guys are saying this because you don't know what I am going through . . . . . . . . . . . And if you will say that you can understand be that will not only be a lie but also a selfish move from your side . . . . . . . . . I can't let it go . . . . . . I don't want to let it go, so please tell me . . . . . . . . I want to know . . . . . . . . I want to know everything . . . . . . . . . Did you see her ? Was she with that bastard ? Did . . . . . did she looked sad ? Was she in regret ? Or did she look happy ? "

Clara: " I know it will hut you Tyler and I hate to be the person that is giving you this news . . . . . . . but . . . . . . .She . . . . uh . . . . she looked happy . I stopped her to confront her but she told me that there was no love between you two . . . . . . and . . . . . . .that calling off the wedding was her only chance to escape the future that she has always dreaded off . . . . . . . . Trust me Tyler I hate her for betraying you . . . . . . I really do . She was wrong to leave you . She was very mean to call your love as a joke . I curse her that she will never be able to find love in her life and she deserves it very well after everything she did . She has called for it herself . . . . . . . "

Tyler: " No please don't curse her . . . . . . . when I proposed her that I will always wish the best for her . I want her to be happy . It's just that I hate that I am not the person she chose to be happy with . "

Steven: " Look at you Ty . . . . . . . even after everything she did to you . You are still not able to hear even a single word against her . . . . . . . . . . I mean , this is love . . . . . . You are the definition of love . You don't hate her and that man . . . . . . . . . . "

Tyler: " Who said that I don't hate him ? . . . . . . . I hate that bastard and I want to kill him . . . . . . . He snatched her from me . "

Clara: " May be this is for the best . "

Tyler: " How come it is for the best ? . . . . . . . . . The only person that I ever loved . . . . . . . The only person that mattered to me has left me . . . . . . . . . . I don't see any hope now . . . . . . . . I feel like my future is darker than the night . . . . . . . . . . Everything is ruined . . . . . . . . She was like the last piece of my jigsaw puzzle . . . . . . . . . you know , I am incomplete without her . . . . . . . My world started from her and ended on her . She was all I had . She was my pride . . . . . . . She was my life . I mean she still is I can't just forget her in a blink . . . . . . . I mean we have a zillion memories together . It will take me my entire life to forget her . . . . . . . I wonder where we went so wrong . She is so important to me , without her my world has shattered . . . . . . So tell me how is any of this for the best ? "

Clara: " I don't really have an answer for that ? "

Steven: " So what are you planning to do now ? "

Tyler: " I don't know . . . . . . . . . I don't know . . . . . . . . . . Did she tell you that why did she start hating me so much ? "

Clara: " No she don't hate you . . . . . She just said that she believes that you two were holding each other back . . . . . . you know . "

Tyler : " What ? . . . . . . .What ? . . . . . . . . she said that ? What made her say that ? . . . . . . . . .We both understood each other's personal life as well as proffesional life . We gave space when needed . I don't know why she said that . . . . . . . . . "

Clara: " She also said that she believed that you two were in a toxic relationship . . . . . . . "

Tyler: " She really said that ? "

Clara: " Yes . . . . . . . why will I make all this up ? "

Tyler: " We were in a toxic relationship ? "

Clara: " Yes , those were her exact words . "

Tyler: " I can't believe this . . . . . . . . "

Steven: " So can't I . . . . . . Isn't it pathetic ? "

Tyler: " Till yesterday I had the visions of my bright future in front of my eyes . "
