Steven: " It's good that you are thinking this way . And you should fulfil your father's wish . I am sure he will be very happy to see this . "

Emily: " You think . "

Steven: " Yes I do . "

Emily: " It is comforting I really want to turn out like my father wanted me to . "

Steven: " I want to thank you from Clara . "

Emily: " Why is it so ? "

Steven: " She will be so glad to know that finally she is a part of her big project . I hope you are not upset about it . "

Emily: " No of course not . Acting , modelling was never really me . My step mom forced me into that direction . But still I want to be independent . May be I can get a part time job . "

Steven: " You can work with me in my company . "

Emily: " Really ? "

Steven: " Yes of course . I am sure there will be any job for you and that way you will be able to support you and your daughter . "

Emily: " Oh my God I don't have enough words to thank you Steven . Thank you . . . Thank you for everything that you have done for me and my daughter . We both are very grateful to you . I really hope that one day I will be able to repay you . "

Steven: " Don't say all these things . I have just done what a friend will do for another , nothing special , so don't worry . And don't ever say again that you want to repay me . That makes me feel shallow . "

Emily: " Ok fine . "

Steven was physically present there but his mind was with Clara . He ditched her for th second time and both the time the reason was Emily . And not to forget Clara hated Emily . He knew it very well that she must be very angry . Because she thinks that Steven choses Emily over her . When she was not true at all . the situation plays with them . He choses Emily because the situation makes him not because he prioritizes Emily over Clara . He will never do that . He was checking his phone every other second . Emily noticed that Steven looked lost .

Emily: What am I keeping you from ? "

Steven: " Nothing , nothing . " ; His words and his expressions contradicted each other .

Emily: " What is it Steven , Tell me ? "

Steven: " Nothing special it's just that I had a date with Clara today . Actually we have not spend time with each other recently so today was going to be about us . "

Emily: " And I asked you to come here . Oh my god . I am so sorry . "

Steven: " You don't have to be sorry . your father died , you needed someone to be for you . Of course you can't expect that from your family so I had to be here . Clara . . . . Clara will understand . "

Emily: " Will she ? "

Steven: " Well no . . . . . "

Emily: " Oh god last time this happened she totally freaked out . Now again she will yell at you because of me . Now what will I do ? "

Steven: " You don't have to do anything . I am there and I know that Clara can't be mad at me for long . I will take her for dates all week long . I will buy her all her favorite things . Everything will be fine . She will understand . "

Emily: " But now you should leave . "

Steven: " Will you be fine ? "

Emily: " Yes I will be . Now don't worry about me , just go . And if its possible tell her that I am sorry for ruining her date . "

Steven: "I will call you about the job . "

Emily: " Just think about you and Clara don't worry about anything else right now . "

Steven rushed to his car and drove away . He knew that Clara will be upset with him . Just to prepared by his side he got a lot of dresses and jewelleries for Clara .

He parked his car outside and ran to his room . He thought that Clara will be there .

" I am sorry , I am so sorry Cla.." Clara was not there and that was not it . Her clothes were also not there . All her belongings were not there . Steven's heart skipped a beat .

He accidently dropped a photo frame that was kept on the table . Estella heard the sound and came into his room . Steven was walking here and there .

Estella: " Steven , you are back . I did not see you . But it is good that you are back . "

" Where is Clara ? " He said . Deep down he was getting this feeling that he was about to hear some bad news .

Estella: " What happened between you two ? "

Steven was not able to understand this question , " Nothing happened between us . " He replied . " Where is Clara ? "

Estella: " Steven she left the house . "

Steven was not able to believe what he just heard " What ? . . . What did you just say ? "

Estella: " I am so sorry but she was very angry . She gave me a letter and asked me to give it to you and then she walked out of the house with Rachel . "

Steven: " What letter ? "

Estella showed him a letter . Steven read it .

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

' Hi Steven , you are reading this letter this means that you are back home and I am gone . Steven I always thought that you were everything that I will ever need and that's why I wanted to marry you . I knew you were my missing piece and the day we will unite to become one I will get complete . But lately I have started questioning everything , you know . I started to realize that I didn't meant to you as much as you meant to me . You are already complete you don't need me . And more over you have someone , you know who I am talking about . So since you have here I understand that my existence don't matter to you .

Honestly Steven I am tired of demanding something that is already mine . I am your girl friend and your future wife the least I deserve is your time but now I have to beg you for it . You are the most important person in my life but sadly I don't hold the same position in your life and I don't think I can live like this . I was with you because I felt safe but now I feel suffocated . You are the reason of my happiness but sadly I am not yours . And I feel like I am standing in way of your happiness . I am tired of being your option when you are my priority . I don't know if I want this . I am sorry Steven but I guess this is it . I guess we both should move on . When we are not sure about our present then how can we make a commitment for our future . I am keeping the ring with this letter . Good bye . '

Steven was shattered after reading this letter . " Goodbye ! Goodbye ! what the hell does that means . "

Estella: " What happened ? "

Steven: " She called off the wedding ! " He bursted in tears . 

Estella: " What ? No this can't be true . I guess you have read something wrong . She can't call off the wedding ! Why will she do that . "

Steven: " Oh my God ! What will I do now . Clara left me . . . . Clara left me . ow can she leave me . I can't live without her . . . "

Estella: " Why will she do that ? I thought things were fine between you both . "

Steven: " Yes they were but I managed to screw up everything . I ruined our relationship mom , I ruined our relationship . "

Estella: " I think that there is a big misunderstanding you go and talk to her , I am sure you both will get over it . "

Steven: " I don't think . What will I do without her ? I can't even imagine my life without her . "

Estella: " Steven listen one thing never give up on love because nothing is over it . I am sure you both will be able to work it . Just act mature and talk it out . "

Steven: " Yes , you are right . I will not give up on my love . She think that I don't love her enough . I will prove her wrong . I will tell her how important she is to me . I will win her back . "

Estella: " That is the spirit . I am proud of you . "

Steven pulled back himself . There was a big misunderstanding . He didn't wanted a stupid misunderstanding to destroy there relationship . He knew that Clara loved him and even this decision was out of love for him . She didn't wanted to share him with anyone .
