Rebecca had left for her office trying to cover up her tears but eyes would not stop it. Years after she get to see the person she loved but the anguish she had was still alive in her. What was pinching her the most was her first and only love was standing in front of her and she didn't recognize him.
Anyhow she reached her office and although she was working but all she thought was about Daniel. She had loved him always. And she was also certain that someday he will return. But in this way that she won't be able to recognize him was something she had never though of. The day passed. She checked the time and Venice was about to land. As she left for the airport, she saw Daniel near her car. Terrified of any drama that can be caused at her workplace she calmly went to Daniel and asked him what was he doing there? Daniel also calmly replied, “Rebecca I know this is your work place but you have to listen to me, I have been waiting here since morning. Please give me a chance to speak.” Avoiding any drama, Rebecca told him to speak whatever he wants to and then he can leave. Daniel didn't want to miss the opportunity so without wasting a second he told her,
“Rebecca, I along with my family had to leave overnight because of Venice. The day I proposed you, everything seemed perfect but the same night Venice visited me in my room. She was infuriated. She told that she loved me and never want to see you with me. I told her that I only loved you but she threatened me that if I don't leave you she will not let me stay in your life. I asked her to go back home and I wanted to tell you all of this in the morning. She returned but and an hour or so later police arrived in our house and asked my parents for their immigration papers, which you also know my parents didn't have. So we were deported back to Russia overnight. Do you remember us three stealing that purse from that shop for Venice because she liked it so much and we didn't have enough money so we stole it. That night when I told Venice that I have no romantic feelings for her she told that shopkeeper that I stole the purse and later that night police was at our home.
While back in Russia also she was in contact with me every time. She threatened me that if I try to contact you she will put more obstacles in my way. My parents were scared and asked me for their sake to not think of you anymore. But this time when she again managed to get my no. she said now Rebecca has moved to LA, she has forgotten about you we should get together now and this was the time I went against my parents and came here. She is unaware of this otherwise she will create another havoc.” Rebecca's mind was listening to all this but her heart wasn't ready to believe any single word that came out of Daniel's mouth. All Rebecca said was, “I came out of the office because I have to go and pick Venice at the airport.” "What?" cried Daniel. “Oh my God my parents, my parents, I have to call them.” ( will be continued next week)
