WHO ARE YOU

Diana quickly took her gun from the table and hid it under her shirt. She slowly moved towards the door and opened it ajar.

But someone from other side pushed it open. It was a man in his 30s with short stature and a muscular built.

"Where is Angelina?" the man shouted.

"Who are you?" Diana said while sliding her hand inside her shirt and gripping the gun.

"I am Edward Payne." The man answered.

Diana knew Edward very well. Charlie had already told her about him.

"I am Angelina. What do you want?" Diana replied.

"Stop joking. Tell me where is Angelina. Someone told me that Charlie divorced him. I am really going to kill Charlie." Edward was really angry.

"Yes, I am Angelina. And Charlie divorced me and gave me this house in alimony." Diana replied in a calm tone.

"Are you real? You think I am a fool. I can see through your plan clearly. Tell me where's Angelina or ?" Edward said threateningly.

"Or what?" Diana asked.

"I will call the police." Edward replied. Diana rolled her eyes.

"Okay. Do whatever you want. Just don't disturb me. If you want to know anything more, better go to Charlie or his new wife, Roselia." Diana replies in an annoyed voice and shuts the door.

'Charlie has replaced Angelina with this random woman. He must have killed Angelina. And now trying to cover it up. He used Angelina to fulfill his desires. And when his infatuation with her was over, he killed her to marry some other girl. And to hide the murder, he made this woman Angelina.' Edward thought inside his head. His anxiety grew with every step, he was taking towards his car.

'What can I do? Police won't help me.  I can only find Charlie's new wife, Roselia and save her from having the same fate as Angelina.' Edward was determined. He called one of his spy and started his car.

Charlie was banging his bedroom door in the new apartment.

"Angelina! I am sorry. Please open. You are better than me, you are better than Diana. You are the best. Diana don't stand a chance in front of you. Please open the door." He was shouting continuously, while beating the door.

But Angelina was not replying.

He had no other option. He took out his gun and shot the lock on the door. The door opened. He ran inside.

His face turned white, when he saw Angelina laying unconscious in front of him in a puddle of blood. Her white bride dress was stained red. Angelina has attempted suicide.

"She will be fine. Blood loss was not too much. She will recover in a few hours." Doctor said to Charlie.

Charlie was a bit relieved. He was scared to death, when he saw Angelina laying in her blood. He immediately took her to the hospital. But now, he was worried about the next question, the doctor was going to ask.

"How did it happen? Why did she tried to kill herself?" Doctor asked.

"We just had a small fight. She never did anything like that before. I don't know. She is so brave, she has faced so much. I don't know why she gave up now." Charlie replied.

"Well! I hope nothing like this happens in future. Please take care of your wife. You can meet her after sometime." Doctor told Charlie and walked away.

Charlie goes inside the ward. Angelina is laying on her bed wearing a hospital gown with an Iv drip set attached to her hand. She is  staring at the ceiling without blinking.

Her contemplation is broken, when Charlie speaks, "I am sorry, Angelina."

"It doesn't matter now." Angelina replied without looking at him.

"It matters because I love you. I am a fool for saying what I said. Please forgive me." Charlie replied.

"I may forgive you, but how will I forgive myself. How can I be such a coward. Maybe the old brave Angelina inside me is dead. This new Roselia is a weak damsel." Angelina replied.

"No, Roselia is brave too." Charlie said in an encouraging voice.

"How can Roselia be brave? You made Roselia out of your fears, so it's obvious, Roselia will be weak. You killed Angelina, because she was too wild to be tamed. Angelina's courage died with her identity." Angelina replied, a single tear rolled down her face.

"Please forgive me." Charlie was feeling an anger rising inside him. But he tried to control it.

"Okay. Now please let me sleep. I am really tired." Angelina said.

Charlie nodded and moved outside the ward.

'I will always be bad. No matter what I do, I will always be considered bad. I try to understand and love everyone, but I always get hate in return. I try to be selfless but always get blamed for being selfish. Nobody understands me. Neither my father nor my wife.' Charlie brain was going wild. He was not able to control his emotions.

He was really hurt. 'Despite, always keeping others first, no one never cares for me. Everyone cares for themselves only. I have truly no one in life. No one will cry for me, when I will be gone.'

Now, only tears were his companions.
