She walks in.
"Andres!! I am talking to you!" She pulls out her hands on my shoulder attaining my attention.
I shoved her hands off, "now let this be clear to you that, whatever games you played hours ago, I hate it! What or who gave you the right to go blab out the truth to Riya in such manner?".
I shouted.
Lisa moves a step backward, "aww! Are you angered by that? Did you feel sad seeing Riya cry or better yet, did she come crying to you?.
In a sarcastic tone, I was made fun of.
"Are you going to play this card with me? Did you forget I don't joke with the people I love and let me warn, if you ever try this stunt again or even look at Riya's direction, you will be sorry".
My threatening voice quivered her, she rephrased her step and walks to the door.
Just when she tries to go, a question was lent out to me.
" Andres, are you sure, you're not in love with Riya? Because if you ask me, I'll say you're head over heels in love with miss being so perfect,"
She tells and finally fled.
Her words echoed in my ears.
The following morning, the footstep of someone running got my attention, immediately I opened the door to my room and took notice of Riya sneaking out of the house, with a hoodie over her head and a pair of sunglasses.
"Where's she going?.
I run back in to change and left to trail in her particular direction.
Riya boarded a taxi and so did I, after giving the driver an order not to lose the cab Riya was in.
We continued trailing, until it, finally stopped downtown in front of an old building.
Riya gets down from the cab and walked in, I did the same, after giving her a headcount.
Question of the day?.
A) Now that Riya's true identity is found, what happens now?
B) Lisa's presence in Andres's life, can it prove to be for good or fatal?.
C) Andres is still oblivious to his feelings for Riya, will he figure it out on time or not, is Riya really who she claims to be?.
82.
trailed Riya and saw her knocking on the third apartment, on the second floor of the building.
An elderly lady pushed the door open, donning a huge smile, Riya happily hugged her as they both amble back in.
Something urged me to forge ahead, as I did, ambling close to the same door Riya walked in.
I buffed out a deep breath before continuing to talk.
"I thought you didn't know who your parents are? Because based on the information I got and the words of Elena khan, she tells that you had no identity at all!! Were you pretending all this while?".
Riya ran out of words to say to me, she turns to her mom.
"Listen to me son!!! Riya at first didn't know anything about her biological parents, Elena took her when she was only a child and trust it wasn't easy to make Riya realize the truth of what happened years back". She gives a headcount before preceding once again, "when I finally got to make her realize the truth, we both decided to have Elena jailed for the evil she committed!"
She sits her hand on Riya's shoulders.
After taking heed of her words, I fell my eyes back to Riya who shoots me a gloomy look, who should I believe?, Because all the while, Riya has been pretending not to know anything about her real identity, not only did she fool everyone at home, she also made me look like one.
Can I be able to trust her once again?.
83.
Back home)
The cab halted at the entrance of the mansion, I got out throwing a serious look on my face, Riya walks faster and pulled me back, "what is wrong with you? Why are you acting weird?". She mumbles
I gently removed her hands still venting how pissed off I was about the whole truth I retain a while ago.
"Are you seriously asking me that? Huh" I dipped in asking a question, Riya moves a step backward and throws a response to me, "look Andres!! I don't understand why you are furious with me, isn't it the same thing you did? You also lied about your true identity".
