‘Romance?’ Austin asks getting the idea. ‘Anyways, what is your price?’
‘Good, you don’t want to waste any time…I like it. I’ll tell you where he is after I get my money from you. I took Trevour’s pictures today and you’ll get them any moment now, I have sent them on your postal address’
‘Where do you want to see me?’
‘Wait for the package that you’re about to receive’ Rupert says, ‘you’ll find all the details. And one more thing…if police is involved then you’ll get your brother’s dead body, that’s my word’
The call gets disconnected. This delay doesn’t satisfy Austin as he wanted to see his brother immediately and admit him back to the mental hospital.
Later, when he checks his mailbox, he finds a huge envelope that was posted to him by someone anonymous, but actually Rupert. He takes it inside his house and hastily tears it open, as he shuts the door. Inside the envelope, there were some photographs and all of those photographs had an amount of two million euros stated behind.
Now he had to collect the stated amount without involving police if he wanted his brother safe.
Trevour plans to Propose Lindsay
Next day, at Lindsay’s house, Trevour was lying on his bed. He was a little confused thinking for how long he and Lindsay would stay like this. He wanted something to progress in their relationship. He thought of proposing her but he had lost his diamond ring somewhere in the hospital. He sits up and after a while gets out of his bed.
Lindsay was cooking food in the kitchen. He comes to her and stands right next to her,
‘Good morning!’ she says looking at him smilingly.
‘Morning’
‘…You seem disheartened’
‘Disheartened?’ he chuckles, ‘That’s a strong word, I’m not disheartened, I’m just confused…I wanted to propose you’
She laughs silently, thinking how he was talking without thinking of what he was saying.
‘You want to propose me?’ she questions. ‘So what’s the problem?’
‘I have lost a diamond ring that I had to give you’
‘What? You lost it?’ she asks getting worried.
‘Yeah in the hospital?’
‘In the hospital, are you sure?’ she enquires anxiously.
‘Yes but why are you asking like this?’
‘I always knew you were having something for me, I read it in your diary…But if it’s in that hospital then it’s not a problem, I’ll ask that nurse who helped me let you out of that place’
‘I don’t think she’ll find it out, I mean it might be stolen by someone’
From the kitchen’s window, Rupert was recording their entire video in his camera, as he had to show this video to Austin.
Austin Confronts Rupert
That evening, Austin was waiting for Rupert at a parking area of a restaurant. He was holding a brief case that had money. He waits for almost an hour, until all the lights turn off. Austin stands still. A small bulb light flashes open.
Rupert arrives in front of him. Austin asks him:
‘I’m sure you’re the person I’m waiting for’
‘…Hand me the bag’ Rupert claims after a while.
Austin hands it over as if he was losing everything,
‘Now where’s my brother?’
‘I’ll leave, if I get away safely, then I’ll tell you about your brother’
‘What is that supposed to mean?’
‘I’ll make sure if there are no cops following me’
Austin gets even more tensed now as he was just seeing delays.
Rupert leaves taking the brief case and giving Austin a C.D. that had Trevour’s video.
That moment at Lindsay’s house, Trevour was writing his poems in a diary. Lindsay comes and sits next to him on a couch. She tells him:
‘Trevour I have good news for you’
Trevour looks at her as if he was questioning what it was.
‘I called that nurse at the mental hospital’ she says delightfully, ‘and she told me that she kept that diamond ring safe since the day you were admitted’
‘Oh really…so it’s with her’
‘Yes and I’m going to get it from her tomorrow morning’
‘Can I come with you?’ he pleads.
‘No of course not, I mean if anyone catches you there then you’ll be caught’
‘Well, ok’
They sit and talk like this until it gets a little dark outside.
Lindsay’s Gone
Next morning, as Trevour wakes up that morning, he was expecting Lindsay to be back from the hospital but she wasn’t home. He calls her roaming around at the house. She was nowhere and this really upsets him. He makes a phone call to her but her cell phone was powered off.
He waits until afternoon passes by and this wait disturbs him even more. He goes outside the house and waits until evening turns darker.
The following day, Austin prepares to leave his home as he got his brother’s exact location from Rupert last night. He leaves on his bike towards Lindsay’s house that was in the forest and was at a quite long distance from his home.
However, Trevour couldn’t sleep the night as he had lost his hope of Lindsay ever returning back. By the evening time, he cries a little thinking about her and to reduce his pain he goes back inside the house and writes a poem for his loss in love again, ‘My Love is Nowhere Around’:
‘Someone I loved is missing,
Who was my most precious blessing,
Every moment seems to be a painful punishment,
As this punish reminds me of a day of judgment,
This fact is not at all fair,
That I have searched her everywhere,
But My Love is Nowhere Around.
Without her it’s only torture and pain,
As every tear fall seems to be a fire rain,
Lovers should not be separated like this,
Crying for every moment of bliss,
Losing love might be the second name of deepest sadness,
A fact in my mind is creating madness,
That My Love is Nowhere Around.
My emotions were always pure,
But now my illness has no cure,
Life is passing on in hell,
Where roses have a burning smell,
My position in lovers might be first,
But now my condition has gone worst,
Because My Love is Nowhere Around’
After nine o’clock, his door begins to knock. He rushes to open it, as it could be no one other than Lindsay. But as he opens the gate, it was his brother Austin.
Unbelievable Shock!
‘What are you doing here?’ Trevour asks him angrily.
‘I’m here to pick you’ Austin replies hiding his delight of seeing his brother safe.
‘Get lost!’ he says closing the door.
But Austin stops the door from closing, pushes it open and enters inside. Trevour walks backwards and says:
‘I’m not coming with you, I’m not insane’
‘You’re not insane I know, you’re a little more than that. You’re retarded’
‘Get out!’ Trevour yells picking up a glass.
As Austin gets closer, he throws the glass towards him, but Austin dodges it.
Austin stops and takes out his camera. He turns on a video clip and shows it to Trevour.
‘You better see this’
Trevour takes the camera from him and sees the video clip,
“It was a video of two days ago, when Trevour was in kitchen. In the video Trevour was talking to Pamela instead of Lindsay.
‘…You seem disheartened’ Pamela said to him.
‘Disheartened?’ Trevour chuckled, ‘That’s a strong word, I’m not disheartened, I’m just confused…I wanted to propose you’
After a while,
‘I have lost a diamond ring that I had to give you’
‘What? You lost it?’ Pamela asked getting worried.
‘Yeah in the hospital?’
In the video, Trevour was actually talking to Pamela instead of Lindsay”
Trevour was confused and shocked for an instance. He says to Trevour:
‘Hey I remember this. But I was talking to Lindsay I remember. What have you done in this video?’
‘I haven’t done anything. It’s a real video without any changes in it. You weren’t romancing Lindsay; it was Pamela who was taking the advantage of your mental illness’
‘What rubbish are you talking about?’ he asks getting annoyed. ‘I don’t even know this girl, I don’t think I have seen her, you have done something in this video’
Austin takes out some photographs and hands them over to Trevour.
‘Take a look at these’ Austin says.
Trevour takes the pictures and looks at them where he finds himself sitting on a rock at a lake with Pamela instead of Lindsay. Trevour remembers this moment and gets very much confused and doesn’t believe anything he was seeing or was being told.
Austin calls two guys who were standing outside. They come inside and get hold of Trevour and take him outside. Confused Trevour asks without resisting:
‘If it wasn’t Lindsay all the way long, then where is my real Lindsay?’
‘She’s dead’ Austin claims. ‘She died several weeks ago’
What Actually Happened?
Last Week of June
Trevour was at the seaside holding his diamond ring, Pamela who was attracted by his diamond ring, slowly walks towards him and as she reaches him, she talks to him:
‘Good evening’
‘It’s not a good evening’ he replies absently.
‘Why are you so alone here?’ she says looking at the ring.
‘Who are you?’ he asks without caring to know.
‘Well I’m…’
Trevour turns around and walks away leaving the seaside. She follows him. Trevour keeps on walking absent-mindedly until he reaches the roadside. Pamela and Rupert were following Trevour all the way long.
On his left, Trevour sees a stall of knives and daggers being sold. Without letting the stall owner know, he picks up a sharp and large knife.
As an unfortunate coincidence, Lindsay arrives at the opposite side of the road looking for Trevour. Rupert hides himself seeing her and Pamela gets closer to Trevour. Trevour says in his thoughts looking at Lindsay:
‘Oh Lindsay
I love you so much’
