CHAPTER 2

Оглавление

There was exactly one month left until the New Year. Sultana was sitting on the Internet, and in one of the social media groups, she saw a video in which she performs. After reviewing everything carefully, Sultana learned about the festive opening of the «Oriental Fairy Tale». The girl was looking forward to her husband. – You have finally come.

– What happened?

– Look here.

– You are still trying to attract the attention of customers! Amir said with a laugh.

– Are you still laughing at me?

– No way. What is the big deal? Videos and videos. It has been so many years.

– Aren’t you jealous?

– No. Not a drop. Now you are dancing just for me. Sultana sat on her husband’s lap and kissed him tenderly. She was so passionate about her husband that she completely forgot about opening a restaurant. – By the way, Lyosha saw this video first and invited me to the restaurant for the opening. And I didn’t even Look, I just heard your name, and immediately realized that I had to go. Sultana’s eyes shone with happiness, she did not know that the host of the restaurant was Wine. – What else is interesting there? Let me see. Amir sat thoughtfully at his computer. Sultana tried to tease him, but she could not do anything.

– And what is interesting there?

– Nothing. I do not like all this. Who is behind all this? I know who will help us. Amir dialed a video call.

– Hello Thailand!

– Hello! Amir said with a laugh.

– What should happen to make such calls at such a late hour?

– I am sorry. I completely forgot.

– Well, what?

– Who is the owner of the restaurant «Oriental fairy tale».

– God rest his soul! Rest in peace!

– But seriously?

– I will not upset you, but this is the wife of the deceased. Beautiful Indonesian!

– A nightmare.

– I think so too!

– I am looking at you having fun, despite such a late hour.

– Yes, my wife and I do not sleep here!

– And we are not sleeping!

– Don’t forget about the time! The joker! I don’t know how or what? But this is not good.

– I wonder what she wants. To be honest, I already believed in a miracle and calmed down.

– Me too. I thought that woman was out there somewhere. But not here. Gee. Is Arthur really dead?

– Don’t laugh like that. Otherwise, he will rise again.

– Exactly. This type is not to be trifled with. And what should I do now?

– I would like to find out at least from someone close to her what this woman is up to. And it is even better to examine the feet of her feet.

– Yes, but how? I will try to find a person and get him hooked up to her. Maybe something will come out of this.

– It would not be bad. Thank you.

Amir and Sultana were among those caught off guard by this news. They were also one of those who did not like this news, but they were the only ones who knew that it was not good. Sultana was more of a best friend than a wife. Their way of life was adjusted; they did everything together, studied together, walked together, and sometimes cooked together. Ahmed was glad of such changes in his daughter’s life, and, accordingly, his own. Sultana shared everything with Amir, she had no secrets from him, although it would be impossible to hide them. Amir was always in a hurry to get home from practice, he did not spend time with friends, and every trip to public places was family. This couple was not separated.

The cases of Guilt continued to develop with lightning speed. Hotels and restaurants recouped their investments. But since Arthur’s business was criminal, then, accordingly, the participants in these dirty cases did not take long to wait. In the city of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Arthur had a man who dealt with stolen cars. And since word of mouth worked, then this faithful dog did not take long to wait. Vina did not have time to take phone calls. Arthur’s Faithful Dogs, who were once loyal to him, and used to be faithful servants of their master, they came running to the call as a faithful flock. Vina was very pleased with this turn of events. To some extent, she was happy with what was happening. – Cambodia, this is what I need. I will kill two birds with one stone. I will promote this business, and this business will kill Sultana. A car will hit her, accidentally. It will be an accident. Vina was exulting, and at that moment, it seemed that an evil spirit possessed her.

Said adequately coped with his new honorary position. He adequately replaced Jamal, the only thing that he was his complete opposite. This man had a delicate taste, a clear and insightful mind, and most importantly, unlike Jamal, this man carefully watched himself. He was sensitive, polite, well groomed, and also very cunning and smart. This man was simply necessary to the Wine in this situation like air. As for the Guilt itself, she had no idea about the crime, which was handled by Arthur. Vina did not know about the arms trade, the girls, and all the murders he had committed in his entire life. To some extent, Vina managed to establish this business from scratch quite well. Since Arthur himself inherited this business ready-made. He just made his own changes to it. The guilt started with bare walls, with an empty purse, but if of course Arthur’s people did not stand up for her, she would have nothing it turned out. The scarred man followed the shadow of Guilt and tried in every way to protect her from danger. Vina did not know anything about it. It was not love. This secret patronage could be attributed as a tribute. This man respected this woman, and knew her love for her boss. He understood how hard it was for her now, and understood the danger, who was lying in wait for her. In addition, the feeling of Guilt towards her late husband made itself felt, and he undertook to patronize this woman. He often wondered if this woman would open her doors to him, if she would let him into her dirty business. But an inner voice told me that no. And he stayed in the shadows.

Meanwhile, Amir and Sultana were about to go to Laos— – My father will examine your legs, and I will feel safer this way.

– And what is the need to go? Let us just send a photo.

– Something tells me that I need to go. Especially since, we have not been home for so many years.

– Well, if you think so, and then let us go.

– Are you laughing at me?

– Not at all. When are we going?

– I bought tickets for the day after tomorrow.

– Very good. I will have time to get ready.

The arrival of Amir and Sultana was a surprise for everyone. Therefore, a festive table was set for such a solemn occasion. – How have you grown up! Nina and Sultana were setting the table and whispering about something. Amir and Rashid locked themselves in the office.

– What happened to you?

– What makes you think that?

– You arrived so unexpectedly, in the middle of the school year. What happened? Rashid asked this question in a firm tone.

– Yes, Dad happened. Arthur’s wife has returned to their joint business, and Sultana and I do not know what to expect. You know I cannot read her fate.

– Bring her here quickly.

– Lets not do it today.

– Okay, tomorrow morning.

Everyone sat down at the table. The dinner consisted of four family members, as the arrival was unexpected. – It seems to me it would be safer for you to move to live in our city. It would be better for everyone.

– Dad, we live well. Then we will see.

– Sultana, how do you look at it?

– To be honest, I feel better at home.

– I understand you, but it is better for Amir to be here. I can ensure your safety here.

– Not a fact. If there is a danger, then it is impossible to hide from it. It just needs to be eliminated, not run away.

– Lets not quarrel. The children have come to us.

– «You’re right. The next morning, Amir and Sultana went to their father’s office. Sultana sat down in a chair, Rashid carefully examined her feet.

– Dad, what is it?

– Wait. After a long pause, Rashid said softly. It is a pity that I cannot set deadlines, but there is a risk.

– Which one?

– There is a threat to life, but she will remain alive. It will last long enough. I do not even know what to do with it. It would not be bad to communicate with the Guilt itself.

– I have been thinking about it too. Only how?

– Sit down; I will examine your feet. Amir was sitting quietly; Sultana was standing next to him. Tell me are you inseparable?

– In general, yes! Amir replied with a smile.

– That is what I understood. It will be hard for you.

– What do you mean?

– Difficult trials are waiting for you ahead. I do not know how you will cope.

– Well, you will help us. Amir said with an idiotic smile.

– «We’ll see,» Rashid replied with the same smile.

Amir and Sultana stayed in Paksa for only two days and left back. Amir did not have time to visit his best friend and regretted it.

Rashid saw the danger, and did not know how to prevent it. All these dangerous games have gone too far, and Rashid saw only one-way to stop it all, is to kill the Guilt. He no longer saw the point of hiding, wandering, and even more so to conduct business negotiations. All this was meaningless. Rashid understood that he had the responsibility to take care of the safety of the lives of his son and his wife. In his heart, Rashid was secretly attached to Sultana, and realizing that his attachment was madness, he showed his dislike for this girl in every possible way. Sitting in his office, Rashid was thinking, what is the best thing to do? – Go with them and settle everything? Alternatively, fly to Moscow and settle everything. Or settle everything on the native land of this Indian woman?

– Who are you talking to?

– I will do it my way. With these words, Rashid got up from his chair and proudly walked out of the office.

– What happened? Won’t you tell me?

– You will find out later. The less you know, the more you sleep.

– What is wrong again? These secrets. I will find out anyway. Nina stood with a serious face and understood that something serious had happened.

Amir and Sultana were ready to go home. – We will come for the New Year!

– Don’t make any plans yet.

– Dad, do not scare me like that.

– What are you hiding from me all the time?

– You see. Worried Mom. Sultana stood silently and listened to the family speech. – Mom, nothing happened, you know Dad.

– That is for sure. Nina agreed with the words spoken, realizing that something was wrong.

These few days spent in Laos did not fly by noticeably. Adult children felt parental care and care, and relaxed for a moment. – Maybe Dad is right. Maybe it is worth living in my homeland for a while.

– «I don’t know myself. I am sick of these threats to my life. We cannot just go outside; we could be killed at any moment. When will it all end?

– «I don’t know myself. Wherever we go, there will be danger everywhere. My father is up to something; let us wait for his actions.

Meanwhile, the Wine got into the taste; she realized what it means to have a business like hers. She was doing great, and she felt like a queen. Her blood was boiling, and she did not notice how her authority began to grow among Arthur’s former companions. Money and power overshadowed the eyes of this woman, and she did not think that this medal has a reverse side. Besides companions, friends and loyal dogs, Arthur also had enemies. Before his death, Arthur did not have time to distribute the debts, as he was not going to die. This criminal king was going to live forever, regardless of his lifestyle. He also had eternal problems with brothel owners. Since Arthur did not know how to run this business. All these unfinished business, and remained unfinished and, it would seem, they went with Arthur to the grave. But since Vina decided to resurrect the whole business, Arthur’s debts were resurrected along with the business. Vina was sitting at the bar next to Said and drinking the coffee he had prepared for her. – You have a special talent. Only you know how to make this kind of coffee.

– Of course. I am Moroccan. In our homeland, Arthur and I attach great importance to this drink.

– Tell me about Arthur’s native roots. You know for sure.

– Yes. It is you at the address.

– Me, Arthur and Jamal. We are our close-knit team. But the day came, and I was left alone. It is good that you decided to resurrect all this. That is why I’m happy to help you. This is a sacred thing for me. I have known Arthur since I was a kid. We were neighbors. His childhood was difficult; he grew up without a mother. Arthur had a brother, their father paid little attention to them, and Arthur often came to our family to hide from his father’s anger, or just to eat. When the children grew up, it was time to inherit the business, and Arthur showed cruelty. He got everything. Jamal and I have always been there. Then you know.

– No. I know such a little. It seems to me that there is something else that I do not know about. He talked so much on the phone. And I don’t know languages. He made so many flights, and I do not know why or where.

– «You don’t need to know. You have already achieved so much in such a short time. Wait, it is just getting started. Over time, you will be even stronger, and you will achieve even more. Vina knew she had not heard everything. Said, in turn, did not want to involve the Blame in the trade in human goods. It was their deal with the man who killed Diana.

– I wonder how it is in Morocco. I would like to see it.

– I am at your service. This is a mysterious country.

– Show me the house where Arthur was born and grew up!

– Donna Vina, I will be happy to arrange this tour for you. Just order it. The contact between Vina and Said was so well established that Said could calmly say you are to blame.

Increasingly, the guilt began to spend time in the apartment, the fear passed; the memories remained in the past. Vina lost track of time, and it seemed to her that an eternity had passed since those sad events that were present in her life. She was so engrossed in real problems that she simply had no time to remember the past. This girl even forgot that she was married, and in fact, it was the second marriage in her so young years. Phone calls, bills, flights, all this became a daily way of her life, she completely forgot about the people who were once there. Arthur’s men replaced these people.

As mentioned earlier, Vina’s husband agreed to the divorce voluntarily, but still he was saddened by the fate of his sweetheart after learning about what she decided to do. This man began to secretly monitor the affairs that she was conducting, fearing for her safety. Sergey understood that nothing good would come of it, and every day he waited for bad news.

The restaurant was a few weeks away from opening. The Oriental Fairy Tale was officially closed, and nevertheless men began to visit this institution and wonder if a dancer who once opened this institution would appear here. – We saw the video on the Internet, she should be here. Vina immediately realized that we were talking about the Sultan.

– Why do you need it? A man of very unpleasant appearance could not tell the truth to Vina, and his gaze shifted to Said. Said immediately recognized this man, and hesitantly made it clear that he knew what he was talking about.

– You can talk in front of me. There is no need to be afraid.

– I am flattered. With a nasty smile, the man said, looking at the Guilt. Said could not hide the purpose of this man’s visit, since this type was not a gentleman and opened his mouth in the presence of a woman. – Your husband Arthur promised me this girl for the night, and could not deliver. Moreover, this girl has created a lot of problems for me. And since you were the wife of the deceased, therefore, I have the right to recover from you what is due to me.

– Yes, but.

– I am not interested, but. The interlocutor said in a menacing tone. It is better if you bring it to me yourself. And the sooner the better. Otherwise, you will find yourself in her place. For the first time in all this time, Vina felt fear. Her hamstrings were literally shaking. She involuntarily looked at Said and he nodded in agreement. The man casually adjusted his jacket and left loudly, slamming the door. His car could be heard leaving.

– Is it true?

– Really. Arthur was selling live goods. Sultana managed to escape. She turned them both in to the police.

– «So that’s what it’s all about. I will fix it. That is why my husband was so angry with this girl.

– And not only because of this. This girl certainly fought for life, but she had a lot of problems.

– So you need to put everything in its place. We will give the sharks food. Vina was smiling sweetly, and excitement shone in her eyes, the same as Arthur once shone. Said was fascinated by her courage, grip, passion, courage.

The couple returned home, where Ahmed and a delicious dinner were waiting for them. Tell me, what was the urgency to go to Laos? You were going to the New Year.

– Dad, we will tell you everything later. Sultana did not want to worry her father, and wanted to hide the impending danger.

– Well, if you do not want to, do not tell me. Ahmed carefully hid his resentment and began to eat dinner. Amir noticed this chagrin.

– My father has problems in the clinic; he called me to replace him during his absence.

– I see now. And I started to worry. I thought, what is it?

– It is okay. Do not worry. In the evening, in the Sultan’s bedroom, she combed her luxurious hair. Amir admired her beauty. – Your hair is so beautiful, and you hide it under a handkerchief.

– Don’t you like it?

– No. Conversely. I like the way you tie a handkerchief. You look mysteriously beautiful. Sultana smiled mysteriously, her smile matched her appearance. Marriage was becoming to her. She dressed beautifully; her Muslim clothes emphasized her beauty and at the same time made her inaccessible. The integral part of this oriental girl was the ability to tie a handkerchief beautifully. Sultana always wore a headscarf. Sometimes, she wore sunglasses and it made her look more solid. Sultana had many glasses; you could even say a collection. She picked them up under scarves, Ahmed brought her scarves, and as a result, this girl had a hobby, collecting glasses with scarves. These essential elements complemented the beauty of this girl-woman. – Your thoughts are so far away from me. Tell me, what are you thinking about?

– You do not understand. You have no idea what is about to start. Amir went up to his wife and hugged her to him.

– Don’t get depressed. Maybe nothing will happen. Maybe this Wine just opened a restaurant. She needs to live on something. She is also, after all, an ordinary person.

– Maybe you are right. I was just scared.

– To be honest, yes. I worry about everyone, including my parents. Sultana did not answer anything, and went to bed. The room in which Amir and Sultan lived could not be called a family nest; it was more like a family country. The room was quite spacious and well furnished. There was a lot of furniture, it stood in all corners, but at the same time, there was nothing superfluous. The house bought in Thailand had nothing to do with what was left in the past in the city of Poipet. Few people remembered about this hut, or spoke aloud. Of course, nostalgia lives in the soul of every person, but a person quickly gets used to luxury and rarely remembers poverty. Ahmed was so happy about this move that even Sultana was surprised to see her father so animated. It is possible that Ahmed simply rejoiced at his daughter’s happiness, and therefore was ready to do anything for her happiness. In addition, Ahmed managed to promote his business in Bangkok so that he hired a salesman and was engaged only in doing business. He opened his own store, which sold not only scarves, but also many other interesting goods. In addition, Ahmed knew how to cook deliciously, and he put his abilities into practice, realizing that students have no time to do cooking.
