Episode 26
Crystal enters the secret hideout sneakily making sure nobody sees her. Escaping from the prison was really really simple in fact dissapointing for Crystal who was expecting tougher security. If she could the Governor of a Phillipine country in the presence of 22 police, 12 soldiers and 11 bouncers then the prison was just a game to her.
“Where were you. I couldn’t find you anywhere on the tracker” Dina says immediately she sees Crystal.
“I was arrested” Crystal says and pulls of her shoes.
“Oh how was it”
“Too easy, seriously Dina I really felt dissapointed. I mean I was expecting something tougher”
“Crystal that’s for you, others might be finding it difficult to escape. So what’s your next plan”
“Am leaving this country ASAP”
“As expected, I already got you tickets. A new identity, you are already working as a waitress in a local restaurant. Your name’s Kylie Enmark, do you like that or should I get you a new identity”
“Erm where’s that”
“London”
“I guess I can pull that off”
“So your flight is in the next two hours, anything you wanna do”
“Xander” Crystal says and brings out a note and knife
“Dina am going to write a letter to him, please make sure he sees it”
“You are going to miss him aren’t you”
“We were never meant to be. He’s working for the law, am working against it. Both of us are just going to accept that painful fact”
“Oh Cry am going to miss you”
“No you won’t, you are coming to meet me right”
“Nope, I’ll be staying with Jimmy”
Crystal gasps.
“I knew it, I always knew that a love connection would spark between you two”
Dina smiles and hugs her bestfriend.
“Am going to miss you so fking much, I love you so much I could cry”
“I love you too Dina but am not crying”
Dina laughs
“Btch” She says and releases herself from the hug.
…………………………….
Xander sits down his car which is parked at the corner of his road, he was confused angry and broken.
Just as he’s about to start the car and drive like a mad man again an envelope enters his car.
He opens it and reads the letter which was written in bl00d.
* THE FIRST DAY I MET YOU I KNEW I WAS GOING TO LOSE MY HEART TO YOU , I NEVER REALIZED IT THEN I WAS TOO STUBBORN TO. I CAME INTO YOUR LIFE WITH THE PURPOSE OF GETTING YOU TRAPPED BUT I ENDED UP GETTING MYSELF TRAPPED. I STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS, AM STILL CONFUSED, BUT I KNOW WITH YOU LOVE IS SOMETHING I WOULD WANT TO FEEL EVERYDAY. AM SORRY IF…………..*
6
YEARS
LATER
……………………
Jimmy and Dina both walk hand in hand on the side of the road discussing about different stuff.
“So have you heard from Xander yet” Dina asks changing the topic.
“Nope, the last time we talked he said he was going to find her no matter what it takes. It’s been 6 years already but he’s still looking for her”
“Am really sorry my best friend is making your bestfriend life miserable”
“Well miserable is not the right word. He’s more than miserable. He never smiles, he’s now alcoholic than he was before. The last time I went to his mansion, he had the paintings of Crystal all over his house. Xander is obsessed with her”
“I really wish I could tell you where she is but I made a promise…”
“It’s okay Dina, I won’t force you and I understand, I really do”
“So are you going to pick Amy from the daycare now” Jimmy asks immediately they reach home
“Yes, it’s after 4 already. We would meet you at the museum” Dina replies.
“Okay you take the red car” Jimmy says and pecks her.
“Tell Amy daddy loves her”
“Would do”
…………………………
“Xandra Stephenie Enmark” Crystal calls her 6 year old daughter in a very firm tone. The little child looks scared knowing that her mother only calls her full name when she’s in trouble.
“Yes mummy” She answers folding her hands.
“Why did you hit Gregory and make him bl.eed so bad” Crystal asks. “Mummy he said he likes me but I don’t like him”
“So that’s why you broke his nose” Crystal asks.
“I only broke his nose mum, I didn’t do anything” Xandra replies shrugging.
“Sweetie you can’t go around breaking people’s nose and bursting their lips, you would become a bully”
“But mummy I am not big and they are all older than me, so it’s not bullying” Xandra replies defending herself.
“God you are so stubborn” Crystal laments.
“You are going to stay with uncle Philip, I need to go to the market, make sure you don’t finish his ice cream”
“That’s impossible mom”
“Yeah go to the car and madam drop my phone”
“Awwww mom. You’ve changed your password again, how did you know I know your password”
“Am your mom remember” Crystal says and Xandra laughs.
“I love you mom”
“I love you too honey but I ain’t giving you my phone”
Xandra runs inside the car and Crystal follows seconds later.
………………
“Hi Kylie” Philip, the owner of an ice cream shop greets Crystal.
“Philip sup. Am dropping Xandra here. I need to go to the market”
“Okay no Problem”
“Please don’t give her any ice cream for free”
“Awww Kylie, you know it’s going to be very impossible for me to say no to this” Philip says and points at Xandra who was already making a cute puppy dog eyes.
“Na don’t let that fool you. She’s the real devil. I’ll give you money for just one cup that’s all. Please don’t give her more than that” Crystal says and kneels down to peck Xandra.
“Be a good girl honey, okay and don’t let anyone stare at you for too long, don’t get noticed ”
“But mom am too pretty not to get noticed”
Crystal sighs and tickles her, she stands up minutes later and leave.
“Uncle Philip my ice cream”
“You sure you want the ice cream now, I mean that’s the only ice cream you’ll get till your mom gets back”
“No uncle Philip. Am going to have a lot of ice cream” Xandra says and sits on an empty chair.
Drinking the ice cream halfway, a young man comes in. Immediately Xandra sees him she walks to the ice cream counter and starts crying.
“Please uncle Philip, please have lost all my money, please just give me this once and I’ll pay you letter”
Philip who knows what she’s doing plays along.
“No lady, no money no ice cream” He says refusing.
The young man looks at the cute little girl and feels a new feeling of love inside her for the little child and it was hurting him to see her cry.
“Hey little girl don’t worry, you can have as much ice cream as you want”
“Really” She asks getting excited.
“Yes”
“Thank you thank you. Uncle Philip give me the largest cup and the second largest cup with strawberry toppings” She says and he laughs at how cute and familiar she felt.
He helps her carry the cup to her seat and gives it to her there.
“So can you finish that” He asks sitting opposite to her.
“Yep” She says and licks the spoon.
“So what’s your name”
“Xandra, but my mom likes calling me little devil” She says.
“Xandra????, my name’s Xander. Isn’t that a coincidence”
“Mmmm mmmm” Xandra says enjoying the cup of ice cream.
“You know you really remind me of someone special”
“Someone you love??” She asks as she opens another cup of ice cream.
“How do you know” He asks amused by her smartness.
“I just know. You know my mom always said love is painful but do you know what I said”
“What” Xander asked getting more interested in the little girl.
“I told her love can be painful but if it’s true love it’s worth the pain, like when she gave birth to me she was in pains but see now it was worth it” She said and Xander chuckled.
“You really are a smart girl” Xander says impressed.
“I know but my mom’s way smarter, you know she’s the only person I can’t fool”
“Oh really, I would love to meet your mom”
“Na you don’t want to”
“Why??” Xander asks curiosly.
“She’s so beautiful you might fall in love with her”
“More pretty than you??” He asks.
“No no no, she can’t be. It’s impossible, am the most pretty lady on earth” She says and Xander laughs.
A car horn is heard and Xandra stands up.
“My mom’s here already”
“Really how do you know it’s your mom” Xander asks.
“That’s how she horns, good bye Xander” She says and pecks his cheek.
“Uncle Philip goodbye” She waves at him
“Thanks for the ice cream” Xandra says and runs out.
“Wait” Xander calls but she was out already.
The little girl had made Xander laugh and smile in the last 6 years, it was really funny how someone other than crystal could make him feel loved again
………………….
“Xandra I’ll get you a new ring tomorrow, am not going to the shop, I couldn’t even greet Philip. Am running out of time”
“But mummy that ring is my favorite” Xandra complains.
“Honey”
“Mummy I promise I won’t beat up any guy again please mommy”
“Promise?”
“Yes mom I promise” Xandra says.
“Okay fine honey” Crystal says and makes a U turn
