There is a competition going on, Where you are a prize to be won,

There are many competitors in this race,

Where victory will only be given to grace,

Because I love you with great respect,

As gracefulness is my love’s best aspect,

I’m sure to win this Love Race’

After reading it twice, he gives himself hope and courage that his love story would go according to his expectations. But unfortunately, he was wrong.

Obsessive Love Disorder

Next day, Trevour’s brother Austin does a research on the Internet where he tries to figure out his brother’s nature. After a long research, it is realized that Trevour was suffering from a disease called Obsessive Love Disorder. In this condition, aÊperson feels an overwhelming obsessive desire to possess another person toward whom they feel a strong attraction, with an inability to accept failure or rejection. Some people argue that obsessive love is considered to be aÊmental illnessÊsimilar to "attachment disorder,Ê, andÊ." Obsessive lovers may feel entirely unable to restrain themselves from extreme behaviors such as acts of violence toward themselves. They may be entirely convinced that their feelings are love. The biggest cause can be the sight of their loved ones with someone else other than themselves, causing jealousy and possessiveness in them.

This mental illness is meant to have four stages: Attraction, Anxious, Obsession and Destruction. Currently, Trevour seemed to be in the third stage and was possibly about to enter the last stage, the Destruction stage.

Worried Austin now plans to either cure his disease or to get him his love at any cost.

He goes to his brother’s room and finds his book of poems, where his poems were only based on love. He reads one of the stanzas entitled ‘Deepest Affection’:

Between us, there is no border line,

But still you are not mine,

If you live at sky,

I would definitely learn to fly,

Above clouds, I’ll reach you at any cost,

Or else on earth, I might be lost,

Because my love has Deepest Affection

He likes the creativity, but dislikes the affection intensity.

Lindsay and Trevour share a Quality Time

That week, on one special day for Trevour, he was waiting for Lindsay at his home. As the doorbell rings, he goes to see it getting excited. He opens the door, and sees Lindsay. He gets speechless but he allows her to enter inside.

Next moment, they are sitting at his garden silently. Lindsay asks him:

‘Aren’t you going to say anything?’

‘Oh yeah’ he says getting confused, ‘well I don’t know what to say’

‘Ask anything, how am I or anything that makes me feel that you care’

‘I care?’ he asks really liking what she said.

‘Yes I mean you always care for me so why aren’t you making me feel like it’

‘Just give me second I’ll be right back’

He stands up immediately and walks inside towards his home. He was actually enjoying what he realized about Lindsay that she felt his care. He wanted to be alone for a while thinking about this.

Later, he goes back to her and says:

‘So what can I get you?’

‘Nothing…except your time’ she smiles.

These words give him a delightful feeling of pleasure. He happily sits next to her and as usual listens to her while she was talking to him. This was their relationship, she used to talk and he used to silently listen and enjoy her company.

As it gets darker, they begin to walk together around the garden. While enjoying his walk with her, he reads out his favorite poem in his mind, ‘My Eternal Destination’:

You are my painful love,

For you my feelings always rise above,

I feel you in my every heartbeat,

As your presence makes my bitter world sweet,

So I’ve made you ‘My Eternal Destination’.

You are my most uncomfortable desire,

As loving you is like burning on fire,

I realize you are my most desperate passion,

Which has lead to my heart’s massive destruction,

But I’ll bear everything for ‘My Eternal Destination’.

My love and affection is getting extreme,

Because I see unexpected romance in my every dream,

Not even for a single moment, I can bear your absence,

Because without my world has no romance,

Therefore I’ll grab every rope leading to ‘My Eternal Destination’.

Seeing you is my most delightful vision,

Due to which I constantly feel you as an illusion,

Even though burning me to a coal,

You’re still a blissful comfort of my tortured soul,

And one day I’ll finally reach you ‘My Eternal Destination.’

Lindsay a Target

Pamela and Rupert gather all the money they had collected and are now preparing to leave. They have packed up their house, but while they are there, Rupert is still not sure about leaving so soon, so he asks her:

‘Pamela, wait…I don’t think we should leave right now’

‘Look forget Lindsay, we have conned enough people’

‘But she has something we really need. She has a lot of jewellery in gold and I want it at any cost’

‘Look just leave her, we have to leave Vienna before someone catches us’

‘It doesn’t matter no one will catch us. Lindsay is a hen that lays golden egg and I can’t let it go when I have the opportunity’

‘Well our flight is this week’ Pamela replies, ‘if you really have to con her then do it within…’

‘…I know what I have to do. Just wait and see’

Lindsay was their next target and they were planning to con her. According to Lindsay, Rupert was an honest guy but she was wrong, as she didn’t even know his real name.

Back at Trevour’s home, he was gathering all his romantic poems and was planning to finally propose his love. He was a little afraid of getting rejected, but his misunderstandings gave him hope that Lindsay might accept his love.

That day he bought blue flowers from a store and dressed up differently in a black suit. He had higher expectations from what he was about to do but was unaware of the fact that his world was going towards a downfall.

Answer before Proposing

That evening, Trevour goes to Lindsay’s house all prepared and knocks the door. Lindsay comes out to see, she opens the door.

‘Good evening Lindsay’ he says.

‘Oh Trevour it’s you’

‘Were you expecting someone else’ he asks curiously.

Rupert comes from behind and looks at Lindsay:

‘Hey Lindsay’

‘Hi Michael I’ve been waiting for you’ she says delightfully.

Rupert enters inside her house. Trevour gets badly shocked to see what he just saw in last few seconds. He asks Lindsay:

‘What the hell is all this? Who is he? Why is he entering inside like this?’

‘Well he’s my boyfriend Michael. I invited him here myself’

‘Boyfriend?’ he asks almost out of his senses.

‘No we are lovers actually’ Rupert adds.

‘Whatever’ Lindsay whispers.

Trevour loses his normal state of mind seeing all this happen so quickly. The flowers and his poetry book fall from his hand. He turns around and walks away somewhere in the streets. He had the answer and it was rejection, the thing that scared him the most.

Lindsay picks up his book and calls him. He gets even farther, so she keeps it and goes inside her house with Rupert.

That midnight, Trevour is in state of shock and is unable to recall anything of his life’s previous history except for what just happened this evening. He was losing the sanity of his mind.

Austin was sitting outside, he knocks his door, but Trevour gives no answer. Austin realizes that there must be a problem in his love life.

‘This love story isn’t going to have a happy ending’ he says in his thoughts.

Lindsay gets Conned

Next morning, Lindsay wakes up and finds that Rupert was nowhere in her house, as he slept there last night. She walks around calling him but gets no answer. She sees some sleeping pills next to her glass of soft drink that she drank last night.

Then she sees that her closet was also left open. She gets a little alarmed and rushes to check inside. As she checks inside, she sees that all her jewellery boxes were missing. She wonders what might have happened. Then she recalls the last night incident and remembers that Rupert was the one who had given her the drink and he must have added the sleeping pills, due to which she overslept.

Slowly she begins to realize that Rupert had been playing all along with her and now she was conned. She begins to weep realizing how much loss she had just suffered in wealth as well as in a relationship.

She doesn’t have her breakfast or lunch for that day as she was very much disappointed, but not as much as Trevour was. After walking for a while, she takes a look at Trevour’s diary. She reads a poem entitled: ‘My Eternal Destination-2’

My soul mate, I really love you,

As that’s the only thing I can perfectly do,

My heart will give you all the care,

But something here is not fair,

That from you I only get sorrows,

Feeling like a burnt rose,

Thinking of My Eternal Destination.

No matter, for you how much I sacrifice,

My greatness never had any price,

Just give me a chance,

Then I’ll show you the greatest side of my romance,

Being with you seems like facing a weakness,

But without you it’s a misery and loneliness,

As you are My Eternal Destination.

Thoughts of losing you give me fears,

Flooding my world with tears,

I want you more than anything,

Because to me you mean everything,

Sometimes I feel and I see,

That you never should have happened to me,

But unfortunately you have become My Eternal Destination.

She wonders for whom he might have written this poem. She turns over more pages and sees that there were many other poems written as well. She reads some and as she turns on the last page, she finds a line written that was about to change her life forever:

“For Lindsay, the love of my life”

She gets quite surprised in a sad way and remembers the way how Trevour brought those flowers last evening. She gets an answer to why he always seemed jealous and possessive.

Lindsay’s Strategy

Now Lindsay was conned and was left all alone, so now when she had nothing else left. She decided to go to Trevour and apologize if she hurt him unintentionally. After that she had to continue living a romantic love life with him, as he was the only caring and supportive guy she knew.

But before all this, she had to report police about Rupert. But the problem was that she didn’t even know his real name and had no picture of his’.

Meanwhile, she sits on her couch and reads other poems to see how much Trevour really loved her. She begins to read a stanza: ‘Moment to Remember’

After a long run,

Something has to be done,

Obstacles should be removed,

Distances should be reduced,

Like dull to bright weather,

We can be from away to back together,

Making a perfect Moment to Remember.

She admired his creativity and without wasting any time, she dresses up properly and prepares to leave.
