Chris is little confused by her action.

Lia is working. But her mind is fixed with helen. she can't stop herself falling for him.

Lia : Ahhh ! What the hell. I can't concentrate here.

Lia straight went to the cabine of her boss.

Lia : May i come in boss .

Boss closed his laptop and looked at Lia.

Boss : Why ?

Lia : I want to search for someone. ( her voice is shuttering)

And lia left from there.

She straight went to the gallery again. But you didn't enter. You even don't have his photo. You both never taken photos.

So lia asked everyone who comes to the gallery.

Lia : Hey hey. You know Helen ?

People 1 : No mam..

Such way you asked many of them. But no one knows other than his name and his work.

So you thought of going other art galleries.

You asked many of them. And asking the galleries managers. But the only information you got is.. " Sorry mam We know only his name and his work"

7pm.

Lia : Holy shit ! What the heck is this. Helen ! You idiot where you been ( kneel down and crying under the tree near the park where you both meet always. )

Someone had there hand in Lia's shoulder.

Lia turned to them.

Lia : Chris ?.. ( crying )

Chris : Lia please don't cry Lia. I can't see you like this. Come on get up. ( he helped lia to stand )

Lia : (  crying hard )

Chris : Liaa? Please don't cry. What happened lia ?

Lia : ( she told everything about Helen )

Chris : Oh my God. Lia please don't worry. He'll be alright. He will come to you. Please don't cry. Please lia.

Lia : No Chris. It's been 1 year. He never did like this. He...  (Crying ) I... I don't know chris.. ( crying ) I.. Don't know.. What...to do..

Chris : Did you ate ?

Lia : Hm

Chris : Sorry. Lia please take care of you please. Eat first come with me. (He grabbed your hand)

Lia : ( She yanked his hand ). No iam not coming. I want to go home.

Chris took a long breathe and nodded. He can't see you like this. He worried about you. He know you'll not come with him so..

Chris : Ok i'll book a cab for you then.

Lia : No chris. Can you drop me ?

Chris can't believe himself. He was happy that you trust him.

He took his car and he started to drive to your home.

Lia faced window all the way.

He droped her in home and he went.

Lia came home. She tried calling Helen again. It's still switched of..
