A week passed, Clarisa stayed with Khanza, now she has to return because her duties at the place have ended.
"Za, don't you papa Brother live alone?" Clarisa seemed reluctant to leave.
"So I forgot, I'm used to living alone." Khanza chuckled softly.
"But you're pregnant right now, I'm worried about leaving you alone. Come home with me, I'll find you a new place to live, I guarantee no one will know." Persuade Clarisa.
"No, thank you. My dear sister, I'll be fine, go take care of Mamah and Papah." Khanza hugged Clarisa at a glance.
"Bas stubborn." Clarisa rubbed Khanza's head, then dragged the suitcase into the trunk.
The wave of Khanza's hand accompanied Clarisa's departure, his eyes staring at Clarisa's car which slowly disappeared at the end of the road. Eventually the hatred disappeared from Clarisa's heart, making Khanza very happy.
"May this be a good start to our lives, son."

When Clarisa was driving her car on the street her vision caught someone crouching looking at her car's leaking tires.
"That's Nicholas, right? Looks like the car's tires are leaking, do I have to help her?" Clarisa.
But at last, feeling sorry, he pulled his head out of the window, "you're Nicholas, right?" When Nic turned his head immediately, he scrunched his forehead, presumably he did not recognize Clarisa because they rarely met.
"You talking to me, Miss?" Nic looked back and forth afraid that the woman was asking him not.
"Yes, who else are you. Your name is Nicholas, right? Leave your car there, I'll give you a ride to the office." Nic looked more and more at Clarisa's astonishment.
He stared at the circular watch on his wrist, it was already noon, if he waited for Ren to pick him up it would take a long time, no taxis would pass, what's more there's a meeting schedule around one o'clock in the afternoon, and it's already 12:00 if he waits again it'll definitely be too late.
Nic makes sure his car is locked and goes to Clarisa, and she enters.
"Sorry Miss, do I know you?" ask Nic while putting on the seat belt.
"Clarisa Carson!" Clarisa replied flatly while reapplying her car.
Nic immediately looked at Clarisa's face and confirmed what he knew to be true, "you're Khanza's sister?" Nic stared in disbelief.
"How are you?" Clarisa answered the question with a question.
"That's exactly what I want to ask you, did he ever come to your place, or call you?"
Clarisa raised her eyebrows, "is she calling me?" Clarisa again answered with a question again, "but she used to come to our place before she left, after which we didn't know where she was going." Clarisa explained.
Nic sighed softly, his hands flicked the bangs that covered his eyes, from his face could be read if in fact he was tired, frustrated and resigned, losing Khanza made his heart disturbed.
"When he said he wanted to go to our house in country C, we believed him and let him go. But, until this moment I don't know where it is, how it is and what it's like." Nic looked down inside.
"If he wants to leave, just let him go. What are you looking for. Aren't you getting married, maybe she wants to find herself." Bright Clarisa.
"But why do we have to do this? He seemed to disappear in the swallow of the earth, we put all our ability to find him, but until now he has still not been found. I'm afraid something bad happened to her."
"Why do you care so much about my sister, who even her own family doesn't care about?" Clarisa throws a serious question.
Nic turned his head with a look of dislike towards Clarisa, "that's because you're blind, a kid as good as her you guys just throw it away. But I'm not you guys, who'll just let Khanza disappear from our lives. Maybe you're happy about his departure, but we're not, until whenever I'm gonna keep looking, I'm not gonna give up until he's found!"
The car pulled over, having reached the front of Nic's office building, "thanks for Miss Clarisa Carson's ride, next time I'll get back at her." Nic was about to open the door, but Clarisa's words made her intention stop for a moment.
"If Khanza comes back, what do you want to say?" clarisa's successful question keeps Nic glued to the spot.
"Do you love her?"
"Are you going to leave your fiancee for her?"
"Tell me, what reason do you have, why do you insist on bringing him back, whereas you yourself will marry another woman. You can't possibly not know that he put his heart on you!" Nic in droves with questions answered by Clarisa.
"I just realized that I love her, but there's one thing that makes it impossible for me to cancel my engagement for now." Nic's answer made Clarisa snort rudely, it really disappointed her, if Nic had said she loved Khanza and chosen to marry him, she would have probably said what she knew about Khanza. But in fact Nic's answer did not make him satisfied, so Clarisa again swallowed the words that were about to be thrown from her mouth.
"Miss Clarisa, once again I thank you for the ride today, if you know anything about Khanza please tell me." Nic got out of the car and walked in.
Clarisa drove her car back on the road to her house. Maybe he has to keep quiet for some time about Khanza, it seems Nic has not really been serious about his feelings.
Ringing the phone diverting his attention, Clarisa picked up the phone and clamped it with her shoulder, as she had to stay focused on her steering wheel.
"Hello Mah?"
[Where are you still?] Sarah's voice sounded like she was crying.
"I'm on my way home Mah, just wait until ko." Clarisa said calmly while remaining focused on her wheel.
"What is it, Mah? Mama want me to buy you something?" ask Clarisa.
[Not ko Ris, you can just go home, Mamah miss you." he said, then hung up the phone. But precisely because it made Clarisa even more suspicious, Clarisa knew her Mom was hiding something from her. Clarisa's racing her vehicle as fast as she can, she wants to get there soon and find out what's really going on.
The car arrived at the yard, Clarisa circulated the view, the article from front to inside, many people wearing all black clothes. In his heart he guessed, could it be that his Papa died?
Clarisa was yelling among the people standing in a row of police barricades. They surrounded the coffin containing a middle-aged man wearing a white coat. Sure enough it was his father, Clarisa's legs were trembling, her body was dazed instantly.
