THE LAST MESSAGE

Gevariel tried to catch up to Theresia but the girl was already in a taxi. Geva immediately stopped another taxi. "Shit! Why did she have to hear everything?" Geva muttered in anger. He hit the taxi seat while grumbling. Geva didn't ride his own car because of his trauma.

Geva had arrived at Theresia's house but after asking the housekeeper, it turned out that the girl he was looking for had not returned. "Where are you, Theresia? Forgive me. I was very worried about you." Geva tried to think but he couldn't find a way. He didn't have a single address or cell phone number of any of Theresia's friends.

Geva's cell phone rang and he picked up the call. "Have you met Theresia yet?" Uncle Sam's voice was heard.

"She's not home yet, Uncle. I don't know where to look for her." Geva was confused and he pulled his hair in frustration.

"Try to be calm and remember. Which place do Theresia usually go when she's angry or sad." Uncle Sam gave advice. The middle-aged man was still in Gevariel's apartment. He would wait until Geva came home.

"I don't know, Uncle. So far I only know her favorite food, her hobbies, and her favorite things. I never find out about friends and places when she's angry or sad." Gevariel answered. Even though he didn't love Theresia, he was very worried about her. Geva didn't want anything bad to happen to Theresia.

"Now you calm down! You better go home first. I'll get someone to look for her."

Gevariel thought for a moment. "It's true what he said. My search will be in vain too. I don't know where to look for her." Geva spoke to himself. The taxi that had not yet had time to receive payment from Geva was waiting for him outside. He got back into the taxi and returned to the apartment.

Theresia entered her family's luxury hotel. She purposely didn't come home because she thought that Geva would definitely come to her house. Theresia entered the presidential suite room and threw her backpack she was carrying on the sofa.

"I was so stupid to be fooled by all his attention. How come I never realized that he never loved me? I have repeatedly felt awkward with his attention, but I always denied it. I didn't realize he was the one who killed my parents. How am I going to tell all this to Quineera? I love the man who killed our parents." Theresia was busy with her thoughts.

Two days ago Theresia contacted Quineera who lived in London. She promised to introduce Gevariel to her sister. "Quinn would be disappointed if she found out I was dating mommy and daddy's killer."

Oxford, London

Quineera was studying at an elite and well-known campus called Oxford University London. At the age of 17, she had successfully completed her senior high school education. This was Quineera at the prestigious campus. "Young lady, we have arrived at your campus." Quinn's driver stopped right in front of the campus.

"Thank you."

Quineera got out of the car and looked closely at the campus. "Dad, mom, I will make your dreams come true. You always hoped that one of us would take over your company. Theresia has chosen her own path in life. I have to make your dream come true." Theresia was never really interested in the company. She prefered to be independent with her job as a zumba, yoga, and meditation instructor.

"Quin!" A man was heard calling Quineera. He was Brave. Brave was Quineera's best friend and senior when she was in high school.

"Hi, Brave!" Quin waved her hand in the air to greet her alumni brother, Brave.

"I'm glad to meet you here." Brave's words provoked Quin to ask.

"What is going on?" Quinn asked. It was unusual for her to see Brave's serious face.

"I need your help to be my fake girlfriend. Someone always sent me gifts. It is so embarrassing." Brave pleaded for Quin's help.

"Why should I?" Quineera pointed at her own face.

"Because you are my best friend. You must be willing to help me."

"Hmm, Let me think for a moment?" Quin patted her forehead with her index finger while thinking about Brave's request.

"I'll buy whatever you want. But please just this time. Help me get rid of that crazy fan." Brave folded his arms and pleaded in front of Quinn.

"Okay. But you will buy anything, right?" Quin made sure that Brave would keep his promise.

"Yes, Princess. Whatever you want I will buy it. As long as you don't ask for a Liverpool pitch." Brave replied jokingly. His persuasion managed to melt the heart of a Quineera.

"Then please guide your lover." Quin replied and bowed her body made the man laugh.

"Stop acting so formal!" Brave immediately pinned Quinn's head under his armpit. They were comfortable with each other because their friendship has existed for three years.

Theresa was desperate. The whole night the girl could not sleep because of the hurt and disappointment she has experienced. The man she loved with all her heart has lied and tore her heart. Love turned to hate because Theresia believed the man was the killer of her parents. Great love mixed with hate overtook Theresia. The girl's heart ached. Theresia typed a message on her cell phone and sent it to Quineera.

'Take care, my beautiful sister! Sorry if so far I rarely visit you in London. I hope you are doing well there. I pray that you will always be given a long life and happiness.' One message was sent to her sister Quineera.

After writing the last page in her diary, Theresia put it back in her bag. Theresia had a bottle of medicine in her hands with a high dose. The heartache she felt made her mind stagnate. Theresia couldn't stand this torment. Theresia put all the medicine into her mouth and took a sip of the bottle of mineral water.

"Mommy, daddy, I want to meet you." The last words that came out of Teresa's mouth.
