As soon as the evening came and as planned Clae brought Lisa to the destination where Xander is waiting for them. Before heading out Clae asked Lisa to blindfold.
Lisa: Hey Dissy, what you are up to?
Clae: Come on Liss, please.
Lisa: Okay okay, as your wish.
(then they headed to the entrance where Xander is waiting and she signalled him to go first and he obliged her. Once they entered the party hall, Clae removed Lisa's blindfold and stepped backward by letting her alone. While taking a while to adjust her vision, her classmates rushed towards her by screaming HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA. She was so suprised by this because all of these years Clae and her used to celebrate it their rooms, by this sudden suprise she was shocked and tears started to form in her eyes. Meantime Clae appeared middle of the crowd with cake in her hands by singing birthday song, which made Lisa into overwhelming emotion. Everyone started to applaud and started to cheer, once Clae reached Lisa she put the cake on the table and hand over knife to Lisa to cut the cake. Before cutting the cake Lisa hugged Clae happily and started to cry.
Clae: Shhh, it's not time to cry it's time to enjoy.
(she took her hand near the cake and gestured her to cut it. With everyone's applaud Lisa cut her cake and took a piece nearby Clae's mouth. Xander was observing all the scene by standing Clae's side. Clae repeated the same to Lisa and the gang started the party by igniting the champagne. Veryone was enjoying the party and Xander took a gift box with the rose which Clae brought and insisted her to gift that 99 roses by herself. He stepped towards Lisa and handed over it by wishing her.
Xander: Many more happy returns of the day, princess.
Lisa: Thank you so much Xander, it really means alot to me. By the way why formalities and all.
Xander: Liss we are friends and I wanted to gift my friend, so better accept it.
(she accepted it thankfully and opened the box and stunned by a platinum ring in it, exclaimed in suprise).
Lisa: OMG, it's amazing! Thank you Xander.
Xander: it's my pleasure that you liked it, by the way Clae is the one who selected it so all credits to her.
(Lisa shifted her gaze to Clae and smiled happily. As the time arrives everyone started to take their leave. When it's time for Lisa too, she called Cale but she is nowhere and started to search her with Xander. Later they found her near the washroom entrance on the window side. They rushed towards her and started with arrows of question. Later only they found Clae was crying what make them to shock.)
Clae: What happened, why are you crying, what's wrong?
(she touched shoulder, once she sensed her touch Clae turned and hugged Lisa and started to cry. Xander was watching everything in a confused and worried tone. He couldn't understand what's happening and shared his gaze towards them silently. Clae cried very badly and mumbled Eric's name with sobbing which made Xander totally shattered.
Lisa: What happened to him?
Clae: He.... m....et with an ac.....cident just jow u...ncle called me, I want to see him, p... please take me. pl...ease.
Lisa: First calm down, Clae calm down let's check about his condition first of all and we can go there.
Clae: Nooo, I need to see him right away, please let me goo.
(Xander couldn't understand but he was totally stumbled by her pleading and screaming)
Lisa: Clae, listen to me first we can check his condition and then we can go there since our final exams are heading so we can't go there right now, try to understand. If your not satisfied let's call your dad and ask him to check, is that okay?
Clae: Yes, your right let me call dad.
( by completing her sentence Clae fetched her phone and about to dial her dad but Xander stopped her)
Xander: Dissy wait if you call your right now in this condition he might get worried about you, so I'll call my man and ask him to check that person condition and will ask him to share the photo of him, is that fine?
(by his words Clae's face litten up and she held Xander's hand thankfully)
Clae: Will you be able to do that, huh?
Xander: ofcourse I'll do it, first you two head back to your rooms meantime I'll check about that person, okay?
Clae: No until I know about Eric I won't return, we will come along with you to your home, please.
(Xander glared her emotionlessly, Lisa gestured him to accept it so he agreed to take her along with him. Later they returned back to his villa. Once they entered Lisa took her to guest room and confront with huge effort and made her to sleep. Then she returned to living area where Xander was on a call regarding Eric. Once he is done they both shared a worried glare and started to speak)
Lisa: Xander I know to have feelings towards Clae, but ...
Xander: Don't worry go on, who is he?
(she took a sigh before continuing).
Lisa : Eric is her uncle's son whom she loves madly and she will go to any extent for him, but he loves her only for her assets. Which I tried to explain her which is no avail so I ended up. He is such a bastard and also have affairs with so many women's. If I'm trying to say anything to her she would never believe me and ready to end up friendship instead of him.
( she completed everything with one breath and glared him worriedly)
Xander: okay, why don't you try to collect any sort of proof against him?
Lisa: Do you think I haven't tried that, if you show that she will say it's photoshop, mimicry extra.. That much that bastard tuned her, do you know one thing, her dad too don't like him that's why she hide her relationship from him too.
Xander: You are right I have feelings for her but I won't force her, if she love anyone I'll accept it happily until it's good for her, but now that bastard I won't leave him. Ans if they... both...uhh..
Lisa: Never, even though Clae is modern girl she would never lose her dignity that easily. Since they for four years she haven't let him touch her, that's the only goodness.
Xander: Okay, first we can update her about his condition and then we can try to prove his true face, now head back and take care of her.
Lisa: okay, but Xander if your the man of Dissy I would the first to be happy, remember.
( Xander nodded his head and gestured her to return. Once she is out of sight he lost his temper and headed his bedroom and started to through everything in his room, since it's soundproof no one hear it. He was completely broken and can't able to accept that she loves another man, he held his hair and fell on the floor by yelling)
