Chapter 37 ( New Changes)

Third P.O.V

As days passed and months came and even Months passed but the devils and Rodriguez were still in Dubai for the last 3 months. The pandemic worsened during this time, and death news came. Not only different people but also people they knew were mourned. As days had gone by Lina stopped going to the hospital to learn and help not only because of the pandemic but to be able to give more time to Sapphire which was not a piece of good news for Damon and Bryan. They didn't want Carolina to stop her dreams just because of a baby that too one she didn't have any connections with. They didn't want Lina to form any motherly attachments with her and then break her heart when they would have to return her to her rightful owners or family. They didn't want her to settle down as she had to many times to take care of her brother and her family. Maya was no help like always and Xerxes was busy being a chef and earning for the family. They wanted to look after Lina's heart and make sure that she didn't have any heart breaks like she had to be separated from her family. What they didn't know was that Lina already was suffering from heartbreak and Sapphire was the only thing helping her to be okay again. After all who in their right mind could forget their best friend and first love?

Carolina's P.O.V

These 3 months have been so hard for me. Doing my studies, taking care of the mafia, and taking care of Sapphire and amidst all these only one thing is on my mind. Not a thing but a person. Rafid Yamin. He has been on my mind since I left Bangladesh. I was thinking of texting him but then I realized he would know my texting style so I resorted to calling him. As I am inside my room with Sapp beside me and the phone ringing and my heart beating, my ears ringing my heart goes Boom Boom Boom thinking will he pick it up. What will I do if he picks up, What if he understands it's me? All these thoughts were running around my mind and then I heard the sound I was dreading. He answered the phone " Hello, Who's this? Hello, Hello " I didn't say anything but just took a breath of air from being too overwhelmed and he started stuttering " Hello, Is this really you? Please tell me. Please say something, Carolina! I know It's you please say something !" He begged again and again then I said by changing my voice " Sorry Wrong number " Before he could reply I cut the call and kept my spare phone silent because I knew he would try to call me again and if he found it off then he would understand it's me. I didn't realize that I started crying and then Sapph came towards me and started wiping my eyes which made me brawl my eyes out. I didn't hear someone coming inside my room but I could sense I was being hugged by Ira and Alice and I confessed something I didn't want to " I like him too much to let him go. Please help me IO can't take it anymore !"

Rafid's P.O.V ( Surprise surprise )

It's been 3 months, 5 weeks, and 2 days since Carolina left the country. I also know that she didn't behave meanly to us without reason. She just wanted us to stay safe and away from all the Mafia-related things. After she left all of our friends met up and all of us then started pointing out her weird behavior change and why she could've distanced us from her and didn't want us in her dangerous life. What she didn't realize was that in the few weeks we lived there everyone got used to her and her caring nature and loving behavior and Rakib is still thinking about her day and night. Even if he was pissed at her for a few days but then she became all he could talk about and then I started scolding him more often because it would pain me physically to hear her name. The fact that I kept thinking about her day and night was irritating me and I didn't even know why but according to my dad he knew what had happened and to this day I still remember that day. All of us were having lunch and then suddenly Rakib brought up how he was missing Carolina a lot that day and I just snapped " Can't you talk about someone else? Why don't you talk about your friends and stop talking about her all day long? I know she's pretty, loving, caring, funny, and played with you a lot but didn't you see how she left us? Without a second thought, she left with those stupid guys she calls friends. It didn't take her even a month to forget about us. She has left us for 15 days now with no contact so why do you still talk about her as if she's your freaking life ?" After shouting all this I left the dinner table and went straight to my room and locked it so that I could calm down and not take any harsh decision but then my father knocked on the door and I was compelled to open the door. He said to me " Listen, I didn't come here to make you understand or scold you but I came to play with you! It's this new game come on let's play! So I will say a word and you will say whatever comes to your mind ok " I nodded my head with confusion written on my face but still went with the flow ." Game; COC, food: Pasta, Accessory; Ring, Loyalty; Friends, Love; Family, Life; Caro..." Then I kept quiet thinking I was actually going to say her name. She had turned my life upside down but she somehow managed to become my life. Hearing me My dad said " You were going to say her name and I know it so don't you dare deny it. No matter how dangerous her lifestyle is she managed to take care of us and her whole family this shows that she is a great girl. Just because she was behaving rudely with you and your friends you guys became angry with her but did you realize that she did this to make sure you guys were safe and away from all the danger !" Hearing this from him made my mind realize that all this time I had been wanting to find a reason to not love her but what I didn't realize was that my heart had already made space for her.

I couldn't stop the tears from coming because when I realized that I loved a person it had been too late to say anything. Bawling my eyes out I kept thinking about all the moments with her. The time we played basketball together to defeat the opposite team when we decorated our class together, the time we made the science project when she made sure I had eaten my lunch during our math Olympiad and was taking care of my health, our moments together at the library where I would fake sleep and she would read a storybook. All the precious moments were flashing on top of my head saying " Such a big idiot you are " and laughing at me.

As some days passed and days went by in a flash during which my family and friends could see that day by day I was getting more and more agitated and depressed without Carolina. They knew and understood me but didn't want to accept the fact. Today I received a call from a Bangladeshi number that I didn't know despite knowing this, I received the call and was saying " Hello, Hello Who's this ?" before I could say anything else, someone took a breath of air. I didn't know but I got a feeling that it was Carolina. I couldn't help but ask " Hello, Is this really you? Please tell me. Please say something, Carolina! I know It's you please say something !"I begged to know who it was but another voice told " Sorry wrong number " and cut the call before I could further investigate.

I didn't know what to do. All this thought overwhelmed me so I thought of taking a break from everything and just going to my village to stay with my grandparents.
