Belle got a call from an unknown number the next morning. She answered it, "Hello?"

"Belle", the voice that came from the other side almost gave her an attack. She froze.

"Please don't decline the call, just give me five minutes", Ethan said immediately thinking Belle would quickly cut the call and block his number from her phone.

But no, nothing of that sort crossed her mind, "Wrong move, Ethan."

"Do you still love me, Belle?", Ethan asked.

"Ethan, why don't you understand! I-", Ethan interrupted her, "Do you or do you not?"

Belle didn't answer.

"Belle?", Ethan called out desperately. A tear escaped Belle's eye. She had no other way to get rid of him. They both were different.

Belle mustered up some courage after the short but a very uncomfortable silence, "It's been six years, Ethan. Move on!"

"So you don't love me anymore?", Ethan asked one more time hoping that Belle's  answer would change.

"I don't. Now stop bothering me!", Belle declined the call and immediately started crying.

After wiping her tears realizing that she would be late for college if she didn't get it together, she inside the bathroom.

Little did she knew or notice that Ana had heard it. All of it. Ana was angry. Remember when I told you Ana had changed and that she didn't believe in love anymore then. Well, let me tell you something, she didn't believe in love for herself. Her rules didn't apply to anyone else, particularly Belle.

She walked inside her room and picked her phone and saved Ethan's number in her contact list. She then went outside.

Ana was having a free period after lunch break and she had been thinking about calling Ethan since morning and now that she was sure that it was right thing and that Belle was not around too, she decided to call him.

He didn't pick up the call.

She dialed again.

She kept trying until finally he picked up, "Whoever you are and whatever you want, can't it wait!? Jeez! I am in the middle of a very important meeting!"

"Aggressive much, Romeo", Ana said.

There was a silence for a few seconds on the other side, "Ana?"

"4 pm. At Golden Mug. You think you can make it?", Ana asked.

"Why?", Ethan asked.

"Can you or can you not?", Ana asked again.

"I'll be there", he answered.

"Good", and she hung up.

It was three thirty pm and Ana was ready to leave the Rodriguez Mansion when her mother appeared out of nowhere, "Where are you off to, young lady?"

"To the cafe. Golden Mug", Ana answered.

"Alone? Why?", her mother asked.

"Because I am allowed to now", Ana stated the obvious.

"Take Belle with you like you always do", her mother said.

"I am going to read a book there. She will get bored", Ana said.

"Take her or go back inside", Nairobi said.
