Why are you crying? What happened?
Are you here? And I didnt notice. Nothing. I just remembered some episodes from my life.
Tell me what happened to you? You can trust me, no one will know about it.
Thank you. Maybe I will tell you in time, but not today. Leave me alone. Do not be afraid, I will not get into the water.
OK. Whatever you say. With these words, Mansur left. The wine was left alone. She lay down on the sand and closed her eyes. The ocean was calm. The air is not the same as in the capital of Russia. Vina missed this place so much. Not far from this secret corner, there was the very guesthouse that the late Zhamal did not have time to inherit. Vina did not know anything about it. She just sat on the sand and crossed her arms watching the illumination of the lanterns that shone in the distance and illuminated the facade of the building.
Where can I get such a sum of money? A plan had matured in her beautiful head, but she did not have such a sum of money to bring all these ideas to life. The next morning, Vina was sitting and drinking coffee in the very restaurant where she had once danced, and Arthur noticed her. The girl was looking at one point and was immersed in her thoughts. She could not see anything around her. Even the way a man with a scar on his left cheek was looking at her, and a hood covered his face.
Has she been sitting here for a long time?
Since the morning.
What does she want?
I do not know. But clearly something is not good. He and Arthur have a lot in common.
«Youre right. If something becomes known, call.
OK. The man with the scar went out; Vina remained sitting and slowly finished her coffee. From that moment, surveillance began on the Guilt. She did not know about it. Exactly two days later, in the same cafe, Vina was sitting with two men and talking animatedly with them about something. A day later, the guesthouse, which was lit by a dim lantern not long ago, was rented and Vina spent the night in it. Arthurs former possessions were returning to her with lightning speed. The money for the lease of this building was borrowed from a bank. This girl was confident in her strength and took this risk.
Vina did not know that the scarred man was fascinated by her strength and beauty. He did not show his face, knowing that she would not be happy to see him. This formidable man sent people to her that she needed, threw up a sudden amount of money, exposing everything as if it was Arthur who was saving it for her. Vina was so happy about the money, and after booking a ticket, she flew to Moscow ahead of schedule, with two rented dancers.
Business in Moscow was developing as quickly as in Indonesia. Vina started with restaurants and guesthouses. Several buildings have already been rented in several countries. Now, Vina could not redeem anything, since she did not have such a sum of money. The most native and expensive building for her was the «Oriental Fairy Tale». The restaurant was closed, but this «monster» simply did not leave the office in which Arthur once sat. She recalled all the events since the opening of this restaurant. The highlight of the program was Sultana, and she wanted to do everything exactly the way Arthur did, and to some extent, she succeeded, but she lacked the nail of the program. Vina understood that Sultana would not take this step and her husband too. Restoring all the pictures in her memory, she remembered that she had seen a video in which Sultana advertised the opening of a restaurant. An idea has settled in Vinas head, with the help of this video to attract the attention of guests, and she herself will perform with the Sultana program. I dance not almost worse, maybe even better.
CHAPTER 2
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.
Arent you jealous?
No. Not a drop. Now you are dancing just for me. Sultana sat on her husbands 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 didnt even Look, I just heard your name, and immediately realized that I had to go. Sultanas 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!
Dont forget about the time! The joker! I dont 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?
Dont 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 daughters 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 Arthurs 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. Arthurs 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 Arthurs 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. Arthurs 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.
«Youre right. The next morning, Amir and Sultana went to their fathers 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.
«Well 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? Wont 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!
Dont 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 dont 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?
