The Family And Enemy

The Family And Enemy
Bleeding back


Victoria is monitoring her artist's preparations for the filming of the latest film. Victoria feels like the new film looks like Dyra.


"How's the filming going?" the black-glassed woman approached him.


"We're still looking for a suitable location for the next scene, miss."


"Are there no fire villas in this town?" ask the woman again.


"Hmm, if it's just simple there is but we need a little fancy." Victoria read the script again.


"What if the building is on the edge of the forest? I just went around the city and saw the building. There's a sense of horror too."


Victoria was silent for a moment. He felt no stranger to this woman before him. Of course he knows her. He is a famous film producer from Canada. Olivia Mabella's.


"I know the owner."


"Mrs, we can talk to the owner and we'll hire him. Whatever price. That place would be perfect for the fire scene."


"Yes, I'll try" Victoria was afraid that Albert would not allow her to use the Bela mansion.


"But can I ask?" Victoria wanted to ask about the film's script. Olivia nagging.


"Why do you want to produce a movie in this town?"


"I know why you ask like that. But sorry, this film is not related to the incident 3 years ago. The film was produced 5 years ago. So I hope you don't get me wrong."


"Ah, sorry I'm too sensitive. But it's really similar." Victoria had a suspicion inside her.


"Yes I know, the case reached Canada as well. So I think this city will be very supportive of the production of this film. Plus this movie reminds us of that case."


"You are right. That case would make this movie famous." Victoria remembers Bela. Her charming smile makes anyone miss her.


.........


Albert relaxes in his room. The room he and Bela used to occupy. His memories were still wet with tears. Even the perfume and cosmetics are still neatly arranged in place.


Every morning Albert woke up, he saw the shadow of Bela standing in the window curtain. Wipe it with a smile. Then Albert took her in his arms. But it was just his imagination.


Every time he saw Bela doing homework. Albert wanted to hug her but immediately Bela's shadow disappeared. How much does his love for Bela mean he can't forget her?


Every second of every minute only Bela had in mind. Simultaneously the pain again struck his heart. He's been like a madman. No one else cares about him. He wanted to end his suffering by deciding his pulse but there was still Elvan he had to take care of.


"Why is it so hard to forget you?" Albert hit his own chest.


"Because you love me and I love you." Bela stood in front of him and smiled.


Drrt Drrt


Her phone rang, Victoria called her.


"Yes, why?"


"....."


"I'm at home."


"....."


"Guests? The filmmaker? I'm at home. Let's talk at home. Bring him here." Albert disconnected his phone and threw him in bed. Then he went into the bathroom to clean himself up.


..........


"This is Olivia Mabella. We want to hire the Bela mansion to shoot our latest movie. Did you allow it?" Victoria introduces Oliv to Albert. And he got to the point.


"What's the reason you want to use the mansion as a backdrop?" Albert watched Oliv.


"Look, our latest movie has a fire scene. So we want to use that mansion. It will feel different when we use artificial property. After all, the mansion is no longer used?" Oliv explained to Albert while looking into his eyes.


"Don't look him in the eye, brother. He'll know you right then and there."


She was reminded of the words of Sheila. He quickly lamented what he had just done. It would be a lie if he didn't miss Albert in the least.


Albert was glued by those eyes. His eyes are like Bela's. Instantly his chest felt tight.


"No," One word that can't explain a thousand pains.


"Why? Did you burn down the mansion?" Victoria was emotionally disturbed. Nagging talk.


Albert and Oliv looked at him.


Does he know anything?


That's what the two men thought. They seem to go back to that incident.


"Alright, just use it as you like." Albert got up from his seat. He can't take it anymore. Victoria has rewound the memories of the past that she wants to forget.


"Thank you very much" Oliv smiled. Albert saw that smile. He felt Oliv was similar to Bela but in terms of mana. And Olivia made her dried-up wound bleed again.
