Sarah's POV
"That Rhea shouts at you in the restaurant?" My dad screams.
He is very angry. Miss Fatima tried to hide what happened in the restaurant, but because there are several people who witnessed the scene, the news spread. Unfortunately, the news came to dad.
"Yes dad," I answered.
I jumped in shock when he suddenly hit the table with his hands. I know that with his moves, he is already drowning in the waves of anger. I know him. Since I was a child, there are only few times I saw him being this angry.
"She is really unbelievable! I already give her all of the properties she needs but still, she did not stop on insulting the both of you," dad said. "I'll confront her."
"No no no. Please. Let us just, forgive her. Maybe she is just stressed that time that is why she said that," Miss Fatima said while holding Dad's arms.
"No. I will not let her to insult you. Especially my daughter. Confronting her is the only way to stop her deed."
Miss Fatima contimue to plead my dad not to confront Rhea. She knows that if that happens, it will create more trouble, or worse, Rhea will make her revenge.
I know the true side of Rhea. Once you mess with her, she will surely not miss that moment. She treasure her dignity and imagd more than her life. That is why there are times when she stump on several people just to save her image from the mud.
"Sandro, please. Do not let your anger to control you," Miss Fatima pleaded.
"Please," Miss Fatima added.
Dad looks at Miss Fatima's eyes which ia full of begging. I know dad can not resist that beautiful eyes of Miss Fatima.
Dad took a deep breathe and he smiles to Miss Fatima.
"Okay. I will forgove her this time."
I feel relieved when my dad became calm.
I knew it! Dad really loves Miss Fatima. Imagine, he is burning anger but Miss Fatima managed to remove that unnecessary feeling.
"But, if this will happen again, I will not miss it," dad said with a warning tone.
"Thank you for understanding dad," I said as I hug him.
"You said that she called you losers?" he asked.
I nod as an answer.
"Sandro, she also called Sarah a dumb*ss," Miss Fatima said.
I was not surprised. Rhea used to call me in different bad names when I am still living with her.
When I failed on something, for example, I failed to top in our exam, or I did not win in a competition, she would call me 'loser' 'brainless' and anything that she can describe as a disappointment.
"She is testing us if we will lose against her. But she's sorry, we are good fighters," Dad said with confidence.
"What do you mean,Sandro?" Miss Fatima questioned him.
Instead of answering the question, he gave a wide smile. But I know that there is a secret behind those smile. I am not sure but I know that what he is thinking is a very good plan.

Rhea's POV
"I can't believe it!" I shout between the anger that I am feeling right now.
"Calm down, love," Dwyane said.
"I can not make myself calm! She just shame me infront of several people. You know what I hate the most. You know that my dignity is the most precious thing in my life! I won't let them to ruin my image?"
I remember when the Fatima shouts at me in her restaurant. She can't play with me like that. It is not because we are in her own restaurant so that she can shame me.
My anger increases when I remembered that those people in the restaurant shouts 'Boo' at me.
"So what's your plan now?" he asked.
I think of a plan to make them suffer. The plan must be perfect. I need to destroy their lives and their dignity.
What they did to me in the restaurant is unacceptable. I will not miss this one.
I secretly smile when I already think of a very good plan.
"Will you help me with my plan?" I asked Dwyane.
"Of course. You know that I am always on your back."

Third Person's POV
While Sarah, Sandro, and Fatima are thinking of a plan how to fight against their foe, Rhea and Dwyane are also constructing their plan on how to destroy their rivals.
"So you mean, we will sabotage their restaurant?" Dwyane asked Rhea.
There is a doubt in Dwyane. He thinks that the plan made by Rhea will not work. However, he can't protest against her. He knows that Rhea will always win in the end of their argument.
"Exactly. That is the best way to give my revenge to them."
"But you are already banned in their restaurant, right? How can we enter?"
Rhea smiled like she is very confident about her plan.
"Disguise. As easy as that."
On the other hand, Sandro thinks of a plan on how will Sarah and Fatima will show that they are not losers.
Proving that Sarah and Fatima are not losers will make Rhea more ashamed of herself. This is the only way the Sandro knew.
"We will enhance the piano skills of Sarah. I have heard that there is a piano competition on March. We have lots of time to practice," Sandro explain.
"So, if Sarah wins in the piano contest, Rhea will surely be mad," Fatima said.
"Can I do that?"
Sarah is doubting herself.
"You can do that," Sandro and Fatima encouraged her.
Sarah remembered the time when she failed to hit the right key during the contest when she was still young, and that is the reason why Rhea looks at her as a loser and a disappointment.
"I will help you, Sarah. We will help you," Fatima said will holding Sarah's hands.
"We believe in you and to your talent. So please believe in yourself," Sandro said.
"Can you do that for us?"
Even Sarah is still doubting her self, she said a 'yes'. She thinks that maybe during their practice, she can gain her confidence.
"You can do it. We are always on your back. We are here to support you."
Knowing that there are people who are always there to support her, Sarah thinks that this can be the way to escape from the bitterness of the past.
Sarah's POVI wake up peacefully today. Like what I am doing everyday, I smile and forget the problems that I have encountered for the past few days.I know that forgetting the problems is not the best solution, but will I let myself be drown in sadness? Of course not. So that I just smile and do several things for me not to remember the problems I am facing."Miss Fatima, are you going to your restaurant today?" I asked.She is fixing herself up so I think that she is going to her restaurant."No. I am going to meet my old friend," she answered."Oh.""But that will not take too long. We will just talk about our lives and after that, I will go home," she get her sling bag and walk towards me to hug a goodbye."I'll be home before 1pm. Be ready. Later we will start your piano lesson.""Okay. Bye."
Miss Fatima's POVToday is indeed a good day."It is nice to meet you again, Fatima," Sydney, my old classmate and friend, said while having shakehands with me."I feel the same," I replied."Maybe in other times, if we are not busy, we can hangout. I want to meet your husband and also Sarah.""It is my pleasure to introduce you to them. Bye. Have a safe trip to Spain," I said.She gave me a warm hug before leaving.Yes. She is now going to Spain for a business trip. She said that she will stay there for almost three months.Sydney is a very busy person, and also a successful businesswoman.I remember when we are still studying in highschool, we are in the same class. Our subject teachers are mad at her for she does not pass the requirements on time.Sydney is intelligent, but lazy. We
Miss Fatima's POV"Miss Fatima, am I doing well?" Sarah asked me."Yes. You are doing so good," I replied.Her fingers move so fast while playing the Bohemian Rhapsody in piano.While watching Sarah, my phone rings."Sarah?" I interrupt her."Yes?""I am going to answer this call. Just continue on playing."Her nod is a signal that I can leave and answer the phone call.I look at my phone to know who is the caller but the display is just a number."Hello? Who is this?"(Miss Fatima!)Wait! That voice sounds familiar!"Geneveive? Is that you?"Geneveive is my assistant. I feel nervous. She will not call me if there is no emergency in the restaurant.(Ma'am. Please go here in the restaurant. There is a very big
Miss Fatima's POVWe are still here in the restaurant, checking and analyzing the CCTV footage from the chef's area."Can you sat when is the time that the insects were discovered in the chef's area?" PO2 Lopez asked the old woman.The old woman thinks for some second before she answers the policeman's question."Maybe, before 12 noon. I am not sure."The police authorities started to look for the CCTV footage before 12 noon at this day. It took them only a few minutes to find the footage. They start at 11:30 am.We are just sitting still while facing the monitor and keeping our eyes landed on its screen.At the start of the footage, there is nothing suspicious in the chef's area. As usual, the chefs are cooking the orders of the costumers.We just watched the footage. After several minutes, there is still nothing to worry. The policemen
Sarah's POVI feel very frustrated when no one in Rhea's house opened the gate for me. I am here for more than 15 minutes, I kept ringing their doorbell, no one answered. I also shook their gate to get their attention but still, there is no response from the people inside."Excuse me," I get the notice of one of the homeowners in this subdivision."Yes? How may I help you?" he asked."Ahm, is the owner inside of her house? I want to talk to her. I kept ringing their bell but I get no response.""I don't think so. Ma'am Rhea just left her house not that much. Well, today, I only saw her left her house in time of the afternoon. I didn't notice her after that.""Thank you.""You're welcome. Just keep knocking or you may try to call her through phone." he said before he leave.Just like what he said, I continue on ringing their doorbell, and I did
Miss Fatima's POVI can't believe it. Sarah was able to face Rhea without even feeling sad or bereft.I know Sarah. She loved her mother more than her life and herself, so I was surprised at what she said."Sarah, I can't understand you," I said while holding her."Huh? What do you not understand on what I said? I became like her," Sarah replied to me."Sarah, what I'm saying is I don't understand why you have to be like her. Rhea is a kind of person who is arrogant, and she's stumping other people just to get on the top. And I don't want you to imitate her. We better talk about this matter inside the house. "Sarah and I entered the house. I asked her to sat down on the couch first and then went to the kitchen to get something to eat while we are talking. I feel like this is going to be a long and long conversation.While in the kitchen, I h
Sarah's POVMy head is in frustration!I can't understand Miss Fatima. Does she even know that I confront Rhea because I want to help her?"Argh! How difficult life could be?!" I said while massaging my temple.My head is now aching. Maybe because I am stressed, plus the argument that happened a while ago.In order to forget my problems, temporarily, I open my laptop so that I can open my social media accounts and have some chit - chat with my friends. I think it's been a week since I last open my facebook account.I am tapping my fingers in the cursor pad of the laptop while waiting for it to load the home screen."Argh! Why does it took so long?"I almost throw my gadget. Good thing that I manage my temper. If that happens, my father will surely be mad at me. He will say that I am wasting money by destroyi
Third Person's POV"Why? Do I have to?" Sarah said with a poker face.Her sentence is a strong proof to know that there is really something wrong between them.Sandro can now feel the tension between Sarah and Fatima. This is the first time that he sees her daughter like that.Sarah looks very furious. He can see the her daughter is really mad."Of course, you have to. You cannot just leave the house without permission. Don't you think there will be someone worried for you when you losesuddenly?" Fatima exclaimed.Even if Fatima knows that Sarah is angry at her, she still have the concern for Sarah. Fatima knows that Sarah is acting so rude towards her because of argument that happened earlier."I can go outside whenever I want! I am already 18! I have my own decisions for my self!" Sarah shouts at Fatima, saying that she has her own mind to
