717 Closure
"Why don\'t you ask Quin to talk to him?" Ming asked.
"Quin said that he would but you know elder sister that Quin is still a baby right?"
Ming chuckled and helplessly shook her head, " What are you saying Rose? Our Quin is very wise and mature."
"No he isn\'t, he still acts like a baby. He wasn\'t this babyish in the past but anyway, I like taking care of him so it\'s fine."
"Okay, so what do you want me to do?" Ming asked.
"Hmm can you please ask brother Singtan to talk to Ben after the wedding?" Rise asked.
Ming nodded her head and smiled, "Hmm I will."
….
Next day.
Evening.
Norway mansion.
"Woahh girl, you look fucking gorgeous."
Rolling her eyes at him, Clara chuckled, "You look handsome too."
"Hmm how do you think I will look if I wear that weird looking snake print belt that your dear lover gave me?"
"You would look even more handsome."
"Tsk tsk what a smooth liar." Taking the belt out of the wardrobe, Philip chuckled, "I can feel his hatred for me through this belt. Do you think that he will hesitate to kill me if he gets a chance?".
"Ben isn\'t like that okay? He is the sweet type." Clara retorted.
"You think? Just because he is sweet to you, that doesn\'t mean that he will be sweet to me as well. He will surely plunge a knife straight through my chest if he gets a chance."
"Is Matt coming too?" Clara asked.
"Uh huh, he is coming with his sister. He is still super mad with me and I need to coax him later so I wont be coming home tonight."
"Hmm, alright. I\'ll take a cab and return back. Don\'t worry about me, I\'ll find a way out."
"Hey Clara."
"Hmmm."
"You are seriously looking very beautiful today."
When she gave him a weak smile, Philip sighed, "Only if that smile wasn\'t forced."
"Shut up." Grabbing her bag, she added, "We should leave."
Wrapping his arms around her shoulder, he said, "I promise I\'ll fix everything soon and then you and Ben can be together again. Everything will be back to normal and—"
Cutting him off, she said, "Nothing is the same now and it will never be Philip. Do you think that after everything I did, I deserve Ben? He deserves someone who isn\'t a coward. I let him down, ah you know what? I crumpled him down, I broke him Philip. I ruined our beautiful relationship and now no matter how much I want him, I can\'t have him because I feel guilty whenever I see him. Like I know he will accept me with open arms because he has a heart of gold. Ben has always been like that, kind, loving, caring but I can\'t take advantage of him. He deserves someone who fights for him, who has the courage to stand up for him and his love. I am definitely not the one who did that—"
Cutting her off, Philip frowned, "Don\'t say that Clara, you are not a coward. You are one of the strongest women that I have ever met. Circumstances forced you to take such a huge step, in fact, I forced you into this and you have no idea how guilty I feel about it but I am fucking selfish. I took advantage of you when you were at the weakest point of your life because I needed someone to cover up my identity. If anyone who is a coward is me and not you."
"Nothing can justify the whole situation okay? So you don\'t have to try to pacify me. I just want him to be happy and find someone who actually deserves him."
"But you deserve him Clara, you deserve all the happiness in the world."
Wiping her tears away, she chuckled, "You are saying this because I am helping you out, even you know that whatever I did was wrong."
"But it\'s my—"
"Whatever you did was to save your love Philip. You fought for your love and you are still trying very hard to be with him. I never fought for anything because I just wanted to get out of that damn family and free myself. That is called being selfish." Clara explained.
"So can you see him with someone else? Can you even imagine him with some other woman? How would you feel when you see him with someone else?" He asked.
"I would feel exactly how Ben has been feeling for so many months and may be that is how KARMA is going to hit me hard and you know what, when that happens, I won\'t complain because I deserve it."
Philip sighed and helplessly shook his head before pulling her into his embrace. "Everything is gonna be okay."
"Nothing is gonna be okay in my life because I ruined it."
Sobbing for quite some time, she pulled away and chuckled, "My makeup is gone and now I look horrible."
"You don\'t look horrible but your eyes and nose are super red. I\'ll wait for you in that car okay? Just come down when you are ready."
After Philip left, Clara calmed herself down before touching up her makeup and leaving the room.
…..
Li mansion.
"Dude, what the fuck are you doing here?" Sam asked.
Gulping down the whole content of the glass, Ben got up and shrugged his shoulders. "Nothing."
"You are drinking? Already?"
Without waiting for his reply, Sam added, "We gotta leave otherwise we will be late and its closure day remember? No more Clara or lingering around the past anymore starting tomorrow."
Ben sighed and nodded his head before following Sam behind.
Would he really get a closure tonight? Will he really stop thinking about her starting tomorrow? Did he really want to stop thinking about her?
