Leo had lost against his fate, he thought...
"Do you...remember now?" Cally whispered her eyes flooding up.
Leo looked at her, her green eyes making him remember something, something which happened the same way it is happening right now.
Then Leo remembered what happened, he remembered how he fought with that tall man to snatch the gun from his hand, how he...had accidentally shot Luna and how that man pushed her in the river.
He remembered how he ran away leaving Leo with a gun in his hands when he heard the villagers rushing towards the bridge.
He...remembered everything. And as it flashed, his eyes immediately looked away from Cally's He stood up and so did Cally.
"It was me?" He mumbled.
"Leo!" Cally called him out.
"I killed her..." He kept murmuring until held Cally his shoulder and turned him around.
His eyes are full of guilt, rage and tears.
"I am that damn murderer!" He yelled and Cally hugged him.
"No no...you aren't...you never were..."
He didn't hug her back and whispered,
"They were right...I am a psychopath...I did the same thing again."
"No, they aren't. You never were a coward, you did all you could've." She rubbed his back.
Cally was relieved that now Leo remembered everything from the past, but, she was also worried about what Leo will do now.
Leo pulled him out of the embrace and looked at Cally,
"I'm sorry." He looked down.
"For letting you down. I can't ever be cured, I can't...ever escape from the fact that once who saved my life...I am her murderer."
And he walked away.
"No...wait! Wait, Leo!" She ran after him but he vanished into the crowd...
*******
A Year Later...
"Are you sure ma'am? Do you really trust him?" Her assistant asked her.
She looked at him and nodded,
"After all...this is the only thing I have as my mother's remembrance...I won't play with it." She said in a low voice.
She walked through the corridor, people greeting her as she walked past them when finally her assistant opened the door of the meeting room, and there he was standing to welcome her. Wearing his usual one of the tailored suits.
"Ms Brown!" He greeted as he shook hands with her.
"Mr Carter!" She had a slight smile on her lips.
"Nice to meet you." He smiled and she nodded.
"So...shall we proceed?" Sarah asked.
Niall cleared his throat,
"Yeah, sure!..."
After an hour...
Sarah descended the small stairs build outside the huge building of her company, B&B also read as Brown and Black.
As she came out reporters surrounded her,
"Maam is this true your company b and b and the ambition are getting merged? Are you both really doing a collab?" The reporter asked.
Sarah smiled and looked at Niall who now stood beside her,
"Yes we are, it's time we both huge companies come together and open different foundations in different fields, starting with the electronic of the ambition and the dresses of b and b."
"There are rumours that you and Mr Niall will soon be getting married, is this true?" One female reporter asked.
"Well...you never know...answer maybe be negative or positive. Let's keep it a secret toll we can." Niall answered.
They both stepped down and sat inside Niall's car, they were hurrying to go somewhere.
"Why are you in a hurry?" Niall asked.
"You really want me to go to the wedding in this dress? Let me at least wear my gown? You're all dressed up doesn't mean everyone it!" Sarah nagged.
"Well...you still look beautiful!" Niall complimented to which Sarah just scoffed.
She shook her head and looked outside the window.
The car drove quite fast and finally stopped outside a shop,
"Let's do your quick transformation!" Niall exclaimed and opened the door for her too.
"Did you do telepathy just now?" She joked and he scoffed.
Inside the shop, after a while of nagging and arguing, they both agreed on one purple dress, the dress was knee length and had many flares.
"I'll be back!" Sarah said and rushed inside the changing room.
She came out in a minute and Niall was stunned, even with light makeup, which she wore for her office she looked beautiful, her hair which was down lying on her shoulders looked extremely pretty.
"I guess...we shouldn't be here anymore now, let's go else both crude and bridegroom will kill us."
They both ran out and again Niall drove swiftly towards the venue. They barged inside and we're totally afraid when they saw people wandering around and drinking.
"It..." Sarah said
"Already happened!" They both ended up in unison and looked at each other.
"Yeah! You both are needed to be punished." Sam came into the frame wearing his tuxedo and smirked.
"Being clumsy is something I would expect from Sarah but Niall? You too!" Here came Lisa wearing her off-shoulder gown.
"No no!" Sam motioned his index finger.
"Niall is the same." Sam taunted.
Sarah scoffed and Niall gave out a boring look.
"Well...honestly, it's all your fault!" Sarah replied.
"Yeah!" Niall agreed.
"And...how so?" Lisa folded her arms.
"You both should've rescheduled your wedding when you already knew today was our meeting." He explained.
Sam scoffed, "You mean brat-"
"Let out child come inside." Johnathan and Merilyn came towards them.
"Aunt! You look beautiful!" Sarah complimented Merilyn who wore a baby pink gown.
"Not more than you, Sarah!" Sarah smiled
"Do you really have to do that?" Niall butted in.
"She literary barged inside the changing room with the first dress we both agreed on, no makeup or nothing. She looks just average." And he earned a glare.
Everyone laughed.
"Let's go in, Anna and Cally have been finding you," Lisa said and dragged Sarah with her.
"You both should excuse us...we have many people to meet right now." Both John and Merilyn left.
Sam gave a glass of drink to Niall as they walked inside,
"I sincerely never thought you and Lisa...would be a pair." Niall scoffed.
"Why though? Everyone said we look good together." Sam nagged.
"No...actually...after how it was between Lisa and Ray, I never thought. By the way...where's he?"
"He...went a world tour, curing people with mental sickness."
"Wait, but us was nearly six months ago." Niall stopped and looked at Sam.
Sam nodded,
"Yeah, he went away just after Cally returned with Leo. Cally told me, actually...Lisa that he needed a break and he was just waiting for Cally to come back."
Here Sarah and Lisa went near Cally and Anna,
"How's our bridesmaid?" Sarah came with a smile.
"Don't act normal! You'd promised you'll be on time." Cally said and Anna glared while Lisa just sighed.
"Well...I've got enough scolding for it. And I'm not in any mood to replay all those again." She picked up a glass of wine from the tray of the waiter.
"Hmm...okay, okay we understand. And, how did your meeting go?" Anna asked.
"Good, it went smoothly." Sarah smiled and took a sip from her glass.
"And how's Leo?" Sarah asked.
"He...is all good, might be in any corner talking with people."
"That's good, I'd never thought he might be cured after how I'd seen him." Sarah looked at Lisa.
"Our hospital has the best doctors, doesn't it?" She joked and Sarah rolled her eyes followed by their laughter.
"And by the way...I heard you moved out from aunt Margaret's house too?" Lisa asked.
"Yes she is, and I can't be any more upset!"
Sarah and Lisa turned to find aunt Margaret standing behind them, wearing her floral dress.
"You both betrayed me! How could you?!" She scolded playfully and stood beside Anna.
"I miss both of you, if you get some time then, stop by our house one day." Margaret offered.
Sarah nodded with a smile, "Let's plan for this Sunday, what's say?" She looked at Anna.
"Why not, after all, I miss aunt Margaret's cookies."
"Just cookies?" Margaret asked and Anna nodded sheepishly earning and smack on the shoulder and everyone laughed.
Anna's phone blinked, she took a glance.
"Okay, I'll go, have to prepare for tomorrow's interview. Let's meet on Sunday!" She smiled and hugged Lisa,
"Congratulations once again." And she left after hugging Cally and Sarah.
Margaret left too as one of her friends called her.
"Okay you guys may talk, I'll go find Sam. His parents were finding us earlier." She rushed towards Sam.
"How things went with Leo, I heard he was quite broke after remembering what happened?" Sarah asked.
"I had a very rough time in finding him, I was worried that I might've lost him for former in that crowd on that beach, but then I found him in a corner. Then I fixed his appointment with the best counsellor in China. It took some months but, here we are all good." She smiled as she looked a Leo standing in a corner talking with Niall and Sam wearing a white shirt, blue pants and a grey coat.
"I think he is the one." She ended up saying and Sarah stopped sipping the wine from her glass and looked at Cally.
"Did he pro-"
"Not yet, but I know. When nurse Mable died, I saw breaking again. I guess I can be his lifesaver. That day when we went to the hospital to bring his stuff back to his new house, I saw that painting. That painting was of Luna. She really had the same eyes as me, even if he may consider me as Luna, I won't mind being with him. I like the way it is right now." She smiled and looked at Sarah.
Sarah nodded, "He cares for you, I can sense it."
"What about you?" Cally asked and Sarah froze at her place, she knew where this was going.
And it happened the same way,
"Are you still stuck in what happened a year ago?..."
