After he walked out of the campus, he went to a nearby juice restaurant.
He sat in one of the seats placed near the window and ordered a muskmelon juice.
His friends, who stayed back, assisted the police. In shock, Mr. Roman came out of it when they were about to take away Sheila's body.
Even though his younger daughter achieved what she wanted, it went futile as her crime get caught.
The head of the sheila's department wanted to thank Alastair, but he didn't find him anywhere near the campus.
Bellatrix gave the autopsy report to the polices, and Thomas handed the evidence they gathered.
Mr. Roman asked the police to arrest his wife as well, as she is the one who planted the envy and jealousy seeds to his daughter.
The younger daughter shouted, "what are you trying to prove father; she is already gone. Now, do you intend to drive me away as well..?"
Mrs. Roman panicking on Mr. Roman's words, said, "Husband, honey, whatever happened, we can't change it.
If this shameful act goes out in public, what will happen to our family's pride..?"
Mr. Roman laughed aloud and dismissed them and left from there. His innocent daughter died in the hands of these two evil people.
There was a fault from his side as well, always siding with them thinking they will hurt, but what about his first daughter.
Before leaving, he informed the inspector, " I will come to the station and file an FIR against these two criminals."
Bellatrix shook her hand and went to towards their head with her friends.
All of them thanked their professors on behalf of Alastair as well before walking out of the campus.
Police collecting all the evidence cleared up the crime scene and took Mrs. Roman and her daughter into custody.
When the remaining friends came out of the campus, they spotted Alastair inside a restaurant with snacks and juice.
He is neither smoker nor drinker. On occasions, he tastes the alcohol but never done smoking.
Even Thomas and other friends are also don't do drinking and smoking much often like youngsters nowadays.
Thomas and Bellatrix went inside the restaurant along with other friends.
Alastair was observing people inside the restaurant. Human beings nowadays bother only about themselves.
It's not like there is something wrong, but showing empathy towards other living beings wouldn't cost them anything right..?
Thinking this, he walked towards a couple who are arguing with each other about with whom their pet dog should live.
When Bellatrix, Thomas, Reyan, and George came and took their seats, at the same time, Alastair moved towards the couple.
Confused with his sudden move, they looked at each other. Alastair spoke to the couple, "aah! Mr and miss fighting couple, if you don't mind, I would like to have this dog as my pet."
The fighting stunned at the sudden intruder in between their fight, looked at Alastair as if he is some funny joker.
Alastair repeated his words, but the male one doesn't want to give up this dog as he gave him to her on her birthday.
But the female one doesn't want to keep any of the gifts the male one gave to her. Sighing to himself, the male one commented,
"Alright, Mr. Stranger, I hope you will take good care of him, I do want to keep him with me, but it would make the breakup more painful."
The female one gave the dog with Alastair asking the same to take care of it. The male looked at the dog tearfully, patting him on the head said, "Browny, be good and trouble this new brother, okay..?"
Even though it doesn't talk, the dog clearly understood that they are abandoning him to a new member. It looked at him pitifully but placed his left paw in his right hand.
The male one smiled happily and handed over the dog to Alastair. The dog is a white golden retriever bread. Browny barked at Alastair as if it is greeting him.
He laughed heartily, making everyone look at him, Alastair sheepishly rubbed the dog's head and returned to his seat.
Bellatrix looked at him questioningly, but Thomas gave him a thumbs up.
She is also the first to question, "Alastair, you are not going to stay in your house, then why bother with a dog..?"
Thomas was about to answer, but she beat him, saying, "Yeah! Yeah, I understood what you want to say, but I am concerned about this dog. After all, it looks too cute.
Even Reyan and George supported Bella saying, "Yes, Alastair, you will not be there to take care of it. You know very well about our careers. Don't you..?"
Thomas spoke, cutting them off, "Guys, chill! Okay..? It's not a big deal; he has a house and a housekeeper, so he will surely take care of it."
Alastair chimed in, "exactly dear. Worrywarts, that couple was in a dilemma and thought to give away this cutie into an animal care center.
So I went and offered to take care of him. You all know, right..? My adoptive mother always wanted a dog like this to run around the home.
Since she is no more, I want to fulfill her wish complete at least now.
Everyone nodded their heads, agreeing on his words, and then they had their snacks.
The parents of others except Alastair called everyone to congratulate them on receiving their degrees.
Bellatrix parents' are forensic doctors like her, whereas Geroge parents are into business.
George's parents are into politics; his mother is the mayor of London city, whereas his father runs an NGO on the city's outskirts.
Reyan's parents are doctors like him; they even have a hospital under his name in which he will start working from now on.
Their parents wanted to have a small party in their circle. Like these friends, their parents are also closely acquainted.
The friends' gang rejected their idea and roamed around the city until it's night. All of them are considerate towards Alastair.
Alastair is grateful to them for their thoughts, but he doesn't want to have any close relationship because of his work line.
Alas, he also can't leave them as they are the only ones he had in this world.
When it's almost time for dinner, they left for the restaurant their parents arranged before.
Their parents had already arranged dinner for them, saying that they will also join when it's time for it.
When they came to the "Rock n Roll" restaurant, it's already half-past 9. The table is already has reserved for them.
Since one of their parents is the mayor, they allowed Browny also. It doesn't matter whatever you do if you have power.
Sometimes it's not like the powerful ones are abusing their power. But it's people who are hellbent on currying favors.
After 10 minutes, the parents' gang arrived. They congratulated all their children after all their children graduated from the prestigious university.
When their parents asked about the dog, all of them burst in laughs narrating Alastair's awkward situation at that time.
Alastair shrugged his shoulders, saying, "what can I do when people are so bothersome.
Moreover don't you think it is hmm, what is it pretty, cute! something like that."
The parent's gang nodded their head, agreeing with Alastair. After Alastair lost his parents, it was them who took care of him.
Even though he rejected their gifts, they never failed to give him warmth along with their children.
Unlike other parents who are so bothered by their pride and social circle status, these parents appreciated their friendship and togetherness.
They valued their children's opinions and their future more than their image in society.
All of them ruffled Browny's head and welcomed him into the family.
Bellatrix's father opened up the champagne and congratulated them on clicking glasses.
All of them ordered their favorite dishes and stared discussing random things.
All of their parents asked Alastair first about his plans. After all, they are parents.
Every one keenly looked at him, Alastair cleared his throat and opened up about his plans.
Men appreciated him for his thoughts, whereas ladies were concerned about his wellbeing.
Thomas's mother, Mrs. Elsa first probed him, "Alastair, what is the need for this? With your talent and knowledge, you can choose any other future, but why this..?"
His father, Mr. Joseph Wolferic, answered with a question, "why not this, I will fully support him. Youngsters should have thoughts and ideas like this.
Understanding they can't stop him, all the ladies made him promise that he will visit every once in a week alternatively.
When dishes came, the youngsters' gang heaved a sigh of relief as their parents sparred this time, but poor Alastair stuck up.
Alastair appreciated their concern worry upon him; after all, this is his family, a massive family from now on.
Like every parent, they felt proud looking at these youngsters who are bickering with each other as they used to in their childhood.
Their families' young generation will venture into the world to discover themselves and gain their foot. These youngsters are their dignity and pride.
The only thing they have to wait and see if they will withstand the pressure and difficulties in their fields, or else they will succumb to them.
