– Hi. You are on time as always! What is interesting to say?
– Nothing. I found out that this woman was able to rent a guesthouse in Indonesia, and that your cherished restaurant will be opening on New Year’s Eve.
– Something sluggish. I am sure that it has covered a lot more.
– «That’s all I’ve been able to find out.
– Thanks for that. Sultana, as always, silently listened to the conversation of two friends, and sat in an armchair.
– What happened again?
– You know what I am interested in.
– What?
– Who will perform in my place? She advertises my dance, and me but I will not be there.
– «You’re right. You are dancing just for me.
– «That’s not the point.
– And in what? How long have you been interested in this topic?
– No. But still interesting.
– Whoever performed there, it will not be you. And no one can copy you. Especially if she performs herself, this dried roach. Her style is the complete opposite of yours. A smile played on Sultana’s face, and she calmed down to some extent. But curiosity continued to live in her.
Vina was actually preparing for the opening, and tried to learn Sultana’s dance, but she could not do anything. Vina and Sultana were actually two different people. Sultana was life itself, her dances were rhythmic. Veena’s dances were Indian, and in order to learn at least one Sultana dance, it was necessary to make every effort. – What should I do? Vina was confused. – Sayid, what should I do?
– I think that at the opening you need to greet the guests yourself. Explain Sultana’s absence by not being able to fly. And you have two twins in reserve.
– A good option. But I will still try to deliver this New Year’s gift to his customer. First, she will dance for me. Vina decided to personally fly to Thailand to search for Sultana. Said flew with her, having previously made a phone call to the person who helped Jamal in the search.
– I will find out where she lives. It will not be difficult to steal it. If you want, I’ll bring it to you personally.
– No. It is too early for you to show your face.
– Who did you call?
– The person who is already waiting for us there. Consider that we have already found it.
– So much the better. I wish I had a private plane. I need him so much.
– You will have it very soon. The New Year in Indonesia will bear fruit, as well as the «Oriental Fairy Tale»; will also give a good result.
– Yes. I completely forgot about Indonesia. Vina was so worn out by work that she partially stopped looking after herself. She entered the role of Arthur, and together with him, she became somewhat similar in appearance to him. Gradually, femininity faded in her; Vina began to visit beauty salons less often, since she did not have time at all, daily jeans and a sweater replaced beautiful women’s clothes, she almost did not take off these things and washed occasionally. All these moments have turned this young beautiful girl into a not well-groomed woman.
Arrival in Thailand affected the Guilt on the positive side. – I like it here. It is so warm and colorful here. Vina went down the ladder not in the best shape, she was wearing warm clothes, and a careless look made this woman not so attractive. Said did not pay attention to these little things, most of all he thought about the safety of this woman, as he understood the danger she was in. For Vina, coming to Thailand was not something unusual, since she had lived in Indonesia all her life and swam in the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
– What will be the orders?
– I want to rest and get myself in order. And tomorrow morning we’ll start looking.
– «As my lady commands!» Vina was already used to Sayid’s expressions, for her these phrases sounded like a colloquial expression. After closing herself in the room, the girl came up for the first time in a long time, went to the mirror and looked at her reflection.
– Get yourself cleaned up! What I have come to. After standing for a while, I went outside and bought a sundress without fitting, in the first counter stall. Arriving at the room, she took a shower and wrapped in a towel went out onto the balcony. There was one thought in her head—Sultana. She no longer thought about anything, and did not pay attention to the neighbor standing on the next balcony, who was greedily examining her figure. After standing on the balcony for a while, Vina went into the room and put on a sundress. This sundress was bright yellow, and long to the floor. Vina bought herself such a bright thing for the first time in a long time, especially without fitting, and she liked it to her face and soul. After combing her not-so-long hair, the girl went down the hall and headed to the cafeteria to drink coffee. Sitting down at a table, she saw Said sitting not far from himself and next to him a man who, despite the heat, covered his face with a hood over his head. Only her eyes were visible, a thought flashed through her mind, but she quickly dismissed it. – It is not him. Why would he be here? Their eyes met, and he quickly averted them, and slowly got up and left the room. Said sat down to the Wine.
– You look good! That is better.
– Who is this? There was a direct question in her eyes and in her voice.
– This is your man. He is needed for business. He knows where Sultana is.
– That is how. I think I know him.
– You do not know him. Said confidently lied. Although he perfectly remembered their meeting at the bar in the Oriental Fairy Tale. He knew about the murder of Diana, but still he understood that they could not do without this man.
– «And where is she?»
– We did not come here for nothing. She is a student of a very prestigious university, and you will see her soon.
– Well, if so. Well settled. Vina hated Sultan with all her heart and soul, just because she was lucky in life. For the fact that Sultana got married successfully and for love, received a good education, and she danced better than she did. Vina just could not come to terms with it, and decided to get rid of her no matter what. Moreover, it was because of her that unpleasant things arose in her husband’s life. – My husband stumbled on this girl, if it was not for her, we would have been happy. Vina forgot that her husband killed her sister, and she killed him. Sultana overshadowed her mind. – What university does she study at?
– Mahidol. Vina tearfully listened to the name, and ordered coffee.
– We will start tomorrow.
– No. Tomorrow is just preparation. After tomorrow. Do not forget that we still have to take her to Moscow. Vina listened to Said, realizing that he was speaking correctly, and feelings of resentment and envy clouded her mind.
– OK. Said calmly went outside, and Vina stayed to finish her coffee. After sitting for a while, she decided to take a little walk before going to bed. A man with a covered face was watching her from afar. Each of these men found this woman attractive, and each kept his distance, realizing that she was the wife of the late boss.
Amir and Sultana, who were not separated, always returned home together. – It will be more difficult
