Meanwhile, the person who was following Amir made a call to Poipet. – Chief, Sultana’s father is walking around Moscow accompanied by Amir. Finish him off or wait for your arrival.

– Wait for the arrival. I will be back soon.

Fate favored Ahmed again, and this beautiful morning he was taken to a country house. No one knew about the location of Sultana. Only phone calls were made. And it was decided that it would be safer for her that way. For a while, Sultana stayed as a guest, and was a welcome guest. Igor’s house was monitored by the police and by Arthur’s people. Arthur himself arrived late at night. The first thing he did was to come to Vina to see her. The not so long separation strengthened their feelings, and this couple grew morally. She merged into a single whole and this love gave nourishment to the fallen forces of Arthur, thanks to which his strength strengthened, and he became even stronger, and with him his atrocities. Vina herself could not believe in her happiness and during Arthur’s absence decided to open up to her sister. She told her everything on the phone and now her main task was to get married. She could not return to her homeland unmarried.

Vina’s sister was more intelligent than Vina herself. This girl was not so amorous, dreamy and impulsive. Diana was all severity and seriousness. Many men were afraid of her, the severity of her character and treated her with extreme respect. She understood that Vina’s trip to Moscow would not lead to anything good, and despite her objections, this trip took place. She immediately realized that Guilt is guided by feelings, not reason, and understood that this case is not clean. —There is something wrong with what she said. But no one listened to her.

What can be wrong if this person is verified? He has a restaurant here. He is famous.

After Vina’s departure, her sister began to collect information about this Arthur. But after hearing from her sister that he was going to marry him, Diana could not accept it. – I will not allow it.

Arthur himself admitted the idea of marriage. Only this thought was so far away from him. He was too busy with his pile of problems, and was not yet mentally ready for marriage. Arthur spent exactly a day with Vina, and only then got busy. He went to the restaurant with Vina. He wanted to make her an administrator, but decided that it would not be convenient for him. It is better for him if she is always free and always at hand. After a hearty lunch, Arthur called Amir and asked him to come. – This is about to start. Vina looked at him sadly. She understood that he was up to something not good. Vina prayed to God that it would all end. She wanted so much to be happy, she loved and was loved. But these dark deeds were destroying her happiness, and she understood that one day the end would come. Arthur apologized and left the Blame in the hall, and he went to the office. Amir arrived as quickly as possible.

– I have arrived. What happened?

– Will you see it now? With these words, the door of the office opened and Arthur invited Amir to enter. They entered. There was a girl sitting in the office, tied to a chair. It was his fiancée from Laos. – do you recognize it? Arthur said sarcastically. Amir felt cold inside. He did not foresee this event. I did not see this in the future and could not figure out why. «That sounds like news to you.» Arthur continued to grin. – I am glad I surprised you. You are not that much of a palmist. With these words, he approached the girl and put a knife to her throat.

– What do you want?

– That is better. We have a lot to talk about. I said earlier that I started having problems with the police. It all started with the appearance of this girl Sultana. She knocked me down in many ways. You have a choice. She or Sultana. I also heard from your mouth that you are not interested in Sultana. Isn’t that right? That means you are going to kill her. You know where she is. First, you kill her father, and then you kill her. If you do not, then I will kill this girl. You can go now.

Amir did not dare to look into the eyes of this girl. He left the office like a drunk. His mind was not working. He barely came home and told his father everything. – Dad, what should I do?

– You started all this, you figure it out.

– Help me. Why didn’t I see this? I would not allow it.

– Because Lilya is your destiny, and you cannot read your destiny.

– Dad, I do not love her.

– «But she’s willing to die for you.»

– Why do I need all this? Rashid sighed heavily.

– Call the police. To his investigator. He has to help.

– I have exactly one day. After dialing the number, Amir asked him to come.

Meanwhile, Sultana wasted no time. She studied Russian, Aunt Rosa helped her with this, and Sultana taught her the dances that she knew how to dance. Her days passed serenely. Sultana kept in touch with her father and it seemed that she was happy. But she was burdened by the feeling she had for Amir. Sultana drove this feeling away. I did not want to admit to myself that I fell in love, and I hid this feeling deep, deep. She thought that Amir would not want to connect his life with a dancer, and this feeling was killing her. She wanted so much to cuddle up to her father and tell him everything, but Sultana was strong and did not show her pain. Instead, she laughed, spoke broken Russian, and danced. The dance healed her pain, especially since the audience was in the past, Sultana danced with pleasure, and her only spectator was Aunt Rosa. Sometimes she danced alone, and she liked it.

– What are you so sad about?

– Does it show that I am sad?

– «You can’t fool me.

– I just miss my dad.

– My girl, I understand you, but there is not much left, be patient. Soon you will leave this country and you will miss Moscow. Sultana was looking up and dreaming about something.

– «You’re right. Maybe I will miss Moscow. But we will see each other. We are from the same city.

– Yes. Sure. God has joined our destinies, and we will communicate. We were in the right place at the right time, and this is no accident. Therefore, it is fate. Sultana was smiling happily. Imagining returning home. And how she walks along a familiar street and is not afraid of anything.

Meanwhile, Lily’s abduction became known immediately after her abduction. A statement was written to the police. Lilya was stolen very carefully, but the police officer who accepted the statement admitted the idea that it was the work of Arthur. Relatives could not understand why and how their child disappeared. – It is not exactly summer.

– We understand you and are doing everything possible.

Meanwhile, the investigator arrived and asked what happened.

– I have a huge problem. Amir told what Arthur wanted from him.

– Handsome.

– I am not laughing.

– I understand. I think. I do not even know what to come up with. How and for what to arrest him?

– I came up with it. This old villain has a muse. Therefore, she will save us. He himself will die from his weapon.

– You are a genius.

– We even know where she lives. It will not be difficult for us to catch her.

– That is good. We have very little time.

In the evening, Arthur answered an unspecified number and heard the voice of Guilt. She could not say anything, but just sobbed. These tears touched him to the quick and he realized that this was the end. Despite his fear, pride and hurt pride, Arthur went to the specified address. Jamal went with him. – I will not let you go alone. Arthur gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder, and they got into the car. Jamal saw this huge attachment of the chief to Wine. He liked the fact that Arthur was finally attracted to a woman. But most of all he liked the fact that this woman loved him, and Jamal had a deep respect for her for making his boss happy. Having learned such news, he was ready to kill, go to jail or even die, but in any way eliminate what hinders the happiness of his boss.

Arthur arrived at the specified address. The driver stayed in the car, he and Jamal entered the room. These were garages, and no one was here at this time of day. They were alone. A police car was parked nearby. Amir did not have his own car until today. His father was going to give him such a gift, but postponed it for later, considering that, it was too early for Amir to travel around Moscow. Seeing the police, Arthur’s heart trembled. He was afraid that these were his last days at large. But most of all he was afraid for the life of his woman. It was such a strong attachment that Arthur could not imagine himself without it. Maybe it was a sense of ownership, or maybe it was really love, but he was melting all over next to her. The people around him could not get used to this change in his behavior, and they respected the Wine.

The iron door creaked and, stepping over the threshold, the door slammed shut with a sound. The lighting was weak, but Arthur’s gaze immediately fell on the Wine sitting on the chair. It was the same picture as in the morning, only now there was Wine sitting on the chair. Her eyes were tear-stained, and she was afraid to look at Arthur. She understood the current situation, that with her help, they would manage him. And that made it even more painful for her. The guilt was ready to die.

– A familiar picture? Amir uttered these words with the same grin with which he had heard them this morning. There were two police officers in this garage, Amir, and Rashid. Arthur stared intently at Amir’s father, and admired the resemblance. He did not expect to see him here.

– The dynasty is assembled. He said through his teeth.

– I have a business proposition for you. I propose to exchange brides. I am yours for you, you are mine for me. These two, he pointed to the police, they will not say anything. I promise you complete safety, as I promised. In any case, nothing will come from my side. You leave Sultana and her father alone; they will withdraw their statement from the police. We are returning you are beloved to you in integrity and safety. If you do not agree, then the police will take you and your girlfriend away. The parents of my fiancée have written her as an accomplice, a statement against you. The police calculated the car in which she was taken away. You’ve already stolen people in this car.

Arthur stood silently at the threshold and listened attentively to Amir’s words, he did not want to agree with this. But he had no choice, and he agreed. Hoping to kill this family in the future. He thought it over quickly and clearly. – Let them go home, he thought. It will be easier for me to get rid of them there than here. There will not be this palmist there.

– Why are you silent?

– I agree.

– Very good. Then so. As soon as Sultana, Ahmed, as well as my father and Lilya fly to their place, only then will you get your bride back. And look without tricks. If something happens to them or to me, Lilya is your mistake that you made. Then it will be worse for you. You should not have kidnapped her from her home. She is not a dancer. She will tell the police everything about you. In the meantime, her parents will be silent. Arthur was not quite grunting and hesitating in the doorway, he wanted to take the Blame right now and go with her to their apartment. Vina looked at him pleadingly with her loving eyes. At that moment, Arthur was ready to give the whole world just to be with her. But it was time to be far away from each other, such a cruel separation was not part of his plans, and he was cruelly hurt. Amir noticed his vulnerability and even felt sorry for him. But Lily’s captivity brought him back to reality, and Amir quickly banished these thoughts of pity.

– OK. Even so, I agree. Amir could not believe his ears. Is this cruel guy really so in love. Although it was noticeable in his eyes and beaming face. But the fact that this love is so reflected in his affairs, Arthur could not even admit the thought of it.

– Then it is time for us to disperse. With these words, Amir pointed Arthur to the exit, and they went out. I could hear the car doors slamming and the sound of wheels. The police opened the door and went outside; Rashid held Vina by the arm and led her outside for an exchange. Amir got out first. As soon as he came out and took a step forward, a shot rang out, and he fell at his father’s feet. The next shots were aimed at the police. And did not stop until they were killed. Rashid threw the girl over his shoulder and quickly pushed her into the police car. The car drove off, not coping with the controls. Rashid turned on the siren and accelerated. He was shaking with fear, the thought of his murdered son did not leave his head, and he called the police and an ambulance. The investigator was also killed; he was one of these two police officers. Now that he had lost his son and a friend from the police, he did not know whom to call and dialed Igor.

– I could not save him. He was killed.

– I am coming to you.

– No. I have his woman. They will intercept me. I urgently need to save another little man before it is too late.

– Who if it is not a secret.

– His fiancee. He was supposed to have a wedding in the summer. Vina listened to the conversation, and understood something in Russian. Where should I go?

– Come to my house. Igor dictated the address.

– I am driving a police car with flashing lights.

– We will figure it out. You can explain everything to the police. While they were talking, the car was halfway there and Rashid saw Arthur’s pursuit. At the howl of a police car, another car joined her. Arthur stopped the pursuit and Rashid continued on his way, but without flashing lights. Driving up to Igor’s house, Rashid was left alone, unaccompanied by the police. Vina was tied hand and foot in the backseat. Rashid’s thoughts were all with Amir. He still had a glimmer of hope that his son was alive. He was offended that Amir was left there completely alone. Where are all those whom he has been saving all this time. Sultana, her father, Igor, Lyosha, where are all his friends. Where is the guarantee that Arthur’s people did not come back and finish him off? His heart contracted and it seemed that he was having a heart attack. His left arm was numb, it was painful for him to breathe, consciousness began to turn off, and he barely got out of the car. Igor met him; he took him by the arm and sat him down on a bench near the entrance. – Where’s the girl. Rashid pointed with his hand.

– «She’s staying with me for the time being. He also took her over his shoulder and unceremoniously carried her into the apartment. Then he parked the police car and returned to Rashid. – Come on. And they went into the entrance.

– Tell me everything in order. Rashid told about what happened this morning. – Why didn’t he tell me? I would have thought of anything. Rashid saw Igor’s custody of his son, and regretted that he did not call him himself. – Stay here with this girl, and I will go to the scene of the accident.

– No. I will go myself. I will be needed there more. Amir has no documents with him. Our investigator has been killed, who will help us now?

– It is certainly very difficult.

– I do not even know if my son is alive. How do I explain the carjacking? Rashid’s thoughts were confused; he did not know what to say anymore.

– This is very bad. If my well-known friend has died, then even I will not be able to help you. He was very skillful in this case, and helped Amir. Now it remains only to pray that everything will be fine. Maybe it is even worth telling the truth. So as not to make it worse for yourself. Rashid stood undecided and walked quickly to the car.

– I went. The car drove away from the house; Igor stood at the entrance and felt the cold air burning his face. November came, and the first snowflakes were swirling in the air. Residents of Moscow were accustomed to such weather and rejoiced at the first snow. They did not feel the cold, unlike the people who came here from Asian countries. It was more difficult for them, and especially for Vina, who was now sitting in a closed room and dreaming of escape, as Sultana had once dreamed of it. Vina understood that her captivity was causing great harm to her lover, and she just dreamed of escaping and hiding in his arms. She was so disgusted that it happened to her. She considered herself so perfect, so close to him, that she did not even allow the thought that such a thing could happen to her. Vina knew that Arthur could keep the girls captive. But to be captured by herself, who would harm him, it humiliated her.

Igor returned to the apartment and entered the room where Vina was sitting and looked at him as an enemy. Igor came up to her and sat down next to her. – I will not touch you. I do not need you. Do you understand Russian? Vina nodded her head in agreement. But she didn’t understand Russian well. – We need a girl who is being held captive by Arthur. This girl is from a respected family, and she needs to be returned to the family. Do you understand me? Vina nodded her head. We will only get you back when Arthur gives her back to us. Vina sat quietly. She understood what was going on and tried not to resist. She also understood that Arthur was wrong to kidnap a young girl from the family, given that this girl was not of legal age. – I will untie your hands and feet, but you will sit still. Okay? Vina was silent all the time. She had not said a word in all that time. Igor took the ropes off her and left her alone in the room. He sighed heavily and closed the door. He was afraid that she would jump out of his second-floor window. And he left her at his own risk. Vina was not as risky and desperate as Sultana was, and continued to sit on the sofa and did not move.

Rashid arrived at the scene. In his heart, he hoped to hear that his son was alive. That Amir is just wounded. But the lines of his life he saw told a different story. – Here it has come true, this prediction, he thought. It is probably better not to know what will happen tomorrow. Nothing can be changed anyway. You cannot run away from fate. Rashid got out of the car and walked slowly to the garage.

– Who are you?

– I am the father of the murdered man.

– There you go. The police pointed to two corpses that were covered with a canvas. They decided that he was a relative of one of the murdered police officers. Coming closer to the two lying bodies, Rashid realized that his son was not here, and held on as best he could. His appearance and inner state were opposite. Rashid turned and headed to the place where his son had been lying not long ago. But he was not allowed to this place.

– Where is he?

– Who? Who are you looking for?

– My son. He was here. Is he alive? The police officer looked closely at Rashid’s face, wondering at the similarity.

– He was taken away. By ambulance. Gunshot wound. There was a long pause between each sentence, and Rashid was very angry, but kept his outward calm. After hearing these speeches, he did not wait for the continuation, turned around, and wanted to leave. – Where are you going?

– To my son.

– We thought you were a relative of the victims. You need to explain where you got the police car. The police did not know that a woman was involved here, Rashid decided to keep it a secret. —We are going to have to question you.

Rashid took a neutral position and invented a story to save his son and arouse suspicion on Arthur. – My son inherited the gift from me. He knows how to predict the future, reading the fate of people in the footsteps of their feet. I sent him to study in Moscow and exactly a year later one person began to force him to work for him. This man wanted Amir to help him in his dirty deeds. My son told me everything. After the refusal, he began to receive threats. The threats became more frequent and I had to come to Moscow to personally solve this problem. After my arrival, I personally became convinced that this man is a murderer and a dealer in human goods. His feet spoke about it. If you do not believe me, you can make sure of it. I have a dental clinic in my homeland in the city of Pakse, and I am known and respected there. My son is a good student, and he is known and respected at the institute. This Arthur made an appointment for him at this place, and my son went. But I was against it. You see the parental instinct. I called a taxi and followed him. My son left me an approximate address, and left before me. When I got here, I dismissed the taxi and went down, there was already a police car parked here. Everything shook inside me, and I went along these garages to look for the right garage. The door opened and I saw Amir get out, then the police got out of the car. A shot rang out and my son fell. I ran up to him while the police were firing at him. And I heard the car doors slam, I needed to apprehend my son’s murderers, and I took your official transport and started the pursuit. I called the ambulance and the police. I could not stop them, so I came back. With these words, Rashid finished his story.

– OK. Leave your contact number. We will contact Swami. Rashid went to the hospital to see his son. He did not like the person who interrogated him, and he was not at ease.

CHAPTER 10

Amir was seriously wounded. He was in intensive care. Rashid was glad that his son was alive, but for how long. Will he get out of this coma, or not. And maybe Arthur’s people will get here. Rashid was pacing up and down the corridor. He was not at ease for his son’s life. And even more so for the life of the girl who was now with Arthur. He was even ashamed to return her to the family. But what to do. Alternatively, maybe the family no longer wants to tie the knot with their son after all that has happened. – My presence did not help, I could not save him. He thought. Pacing from side to side.

Arthur arrived at the Oriental Fairy Tale and the evil one went to his office, realizing that he had suffered a complete failure. Now his life depended entirely on these people. He could hide, cover his tracks, and he would have succeeded. But he was held by Guilt, he could not leave her. Arthur realized how dear she was to him, only then did he lose her. This fear that he might not see her again overshadowed his mind and Arthur went completely mad. His pride was trampled. Arthur sat in his chair like an angry beaten dog, and his main goal was Guilt. Having lost all interest in the life of Sultana and her father, he no longer wanted to take revenge or pursue someone.

Arthur wanted a quiet and serene happiness with his woman. He dreamed of saving her, and flying with her to another country, where they would be happy. But all his dreams were quickly dispelled by the realization of what he had done. The attempt on Amir’s life was a grave mistake. Now he could not just call his father and agree to the condition offered to him. Arthur was at a dead end, and did not know what was waiting for him tomorrow. He did not know what actions Amir’s father would take, and he just had to wait.

Rashid returned to Igor and told him what had happened and what he had told the police. – Maybe you are right. The main thing is that Amir is alive. Therefore, everything will be fine.

– Maybe I should talk to this Arthur myself. The girl needs to be returned to her parents. It is my fault for what happened. There was no need to arrange this engagement.

– You never know what is best. If I knew, everything would be different. Rashid did not look at Igor with satisfaction.

– I saw that the fate of this girl is closely intertwined with my son. What could it mean? I decided to marry them. I know this family, I saw in it a good wife for my son, a good mother. I like her better than this Sultana does. Igor glanced at Rashid.

– To be honest, I do not like this Sultana either. She is causing a lot of trouble. Before her appearance, everything was smooth and calm. Everyone lived his or her own quiet and serene life. As soon as she appeared, some problems began.

– I will solve this problem. While my son is in a coma, I will send her and her father to her country, and everything will be forgotten. My son will return to school, the girl to the family, and everything will be as before. With these words, Rashid left for his apartment. He returned home in the early morning. Exactly a day has passed since these adventures. At home, a tired Lyosha met him.

– I am so tired of waiting for you. What is going on there? Where is Amir?
