Night had arrived.
Ron found himself back in the same room. He was prepared for a longer talk with Leila. Of course, he had to fork out some money to talk to Leila who was now known as Angel once she stepped into the pub.
“Leila …” Ron called out and wanted to continue speaking but Leila stopped him.
“My name is Angel, now.” Angel smiled.
“Alright, Angel, I just want to ask you about the recent theft cases in Desiderata area. Do you have any guess? I mean since Desiderata area is not that big and there are even fewer pretty ladies… And as one of the beautiful ladies, I am sure you will know other appealing ladies who might be our wanted good-looking thief.” Ron probed directly.
Angel wanted to laugh out loudly and confessed that she was just the one he was looking for, but Angel pretended to ponder.
“I don’t think the policemen are supposed to question people around like this and ask them to make guesses. I thought you guys need evidence to catch criminals and put them in jail. And, pretty ladies are indeed rare here. I don’t really know many except for Nancy. But I don’t think Nancy will be the one. How about me? Am I possible?” Angel questioned jokingly with a wry smile.
Ron was amused by Leila’s transformation into Angel. Even the way Angel behaved and talked was different from her being Leila, Ron almost thought that Leila was suffering from split personality.
“Alright, I am just curious about how the public living here will think about the cases. And, you act like two different people. I almost thought that I am facing a mentally ill patient suffering from split personality!” Ron decided to change the subject. Afterall, as a policeman, he knew his job and it included keeping information and details about cases confidential.
“Well, I am two different people, in the first place. And, who knows, maybe I am really suffering from split personality?” Angel leaned closer to Ron and whispered seductively in his ear, “If I am really mentally ill, are you scared of me?”
Ron turned his gaze, staring right straight into Angel’s eyes. He was mesmerized by Angel’s eyes which seemed to stir up some feelings in him and sent signals to him, implying her deep interest in him.
“No.” Ron replied curtly and pulled Angel into a tight embrace. He had desired strongly to press his lips against hers but decided against it as he was not ready. He was not prepared to fall in love again or allow another woman to enter his heart. He suddenly felt sorry towards Myolie.
“Tell me, what do you think of me?” Ron asked, wanting desperately to know how Leila or Angel views him.
Angel was still a little shocked by Ron’s forceful hug. However, strangely, Angel felt right in place in his arms. In fact, she felt as if she had wanted this hug for as long as she could remember. She wrapped her arms around his waist. “I will charge you nothing for this hug.” Ron chuckled and waited for Angel’s reply.
“You are a handsome man who seemed to be bothered by some affairs of your heart. Maybe it is your past, or maybe it is part of you. You have this gloomy aura but still your smiles are attractive. So you should smile, more often, to all the ladies in Desiderata. Maybe the thief is one of them and when she falls in love with you, she will come clean about her sins and then you can catch her and put her behind bars.” Angel spoke her mind. She had no idea how her thoughts had drifted to thinking about the consequences of her falling in love with Ron, the police officer, who was trying to catch her.
Ron was satisfied and amused by Angel’s answer. He hugged her more tightly and he felt the desire to never let her go; “Thank you for the wonderful answer.”
“Now my question for you, what if one day, you found out that your most beloved person has committed a sin and you are supposed to put her behind bars? What will you do?” Angel inquired.
“That will never happen. Firstly, I don’t have any most beloved person. Secondly, the person I love should be of well conduct.” Ron replied truthfully. The most important person in his life was gone and he was the one who caused her death. He could not think further.
Strong feelings of anger and disappointment overwhelmed Angel and she pulled herself away from the hug. “That is what I said what if, I am asking you to speculate.”
“Are you angry?” Ron was slightly taken aback by Angel’s withdrawal all of a sudden. He suddenly felt silly after asking whether Leila was angry. “Who am I to her? Why would she be angry just because I said I have no most beloved one? Ron Ng, you are thinking too much.”
“Never mind if you don’t want to answer.” Angel stood up and went to her mirror, staring at her own reflection. “Stupid, why am I feeling angry and disappointed? Angel, Leila, you are the prettiest thief. He is after you. It is a big no to fall in love with him. That will put you in a dangerous spot. You are the game master now, only he can fall in love with you and not the other way round!”
Ron hugged Angel from her back. He placed his head on her shoulder and answered, “I will try to convince my most beloved person to stop committing her sin and ask her to ask for forgiveness. I will not put her behind bars if I can and even if I have to put her behind bars, I will wait for her release.”
Angel felt touched by his answer and wandered if it was possible for her to not be put behind bars. She turned to face Ron and gave a peck on Ron’s cheeks. “Time’s up, Mister Ng, you have to go!”
Ron’s spirits fell upon the thought of leaving Angel. However, he forced himself to turn his back and prepare to leave. He knew if he was to linger on for more moments, he could have lost control of his logical mind and his feelings would be let loose. He did not want to fall in love or place himself in a position to be loved.
Angel suddenly had an idea. She hugged Ron from behind, her fingers slipping into his pocket of his jeans. She stole some useless receipts and notes. She was dropping obvious hints to Ron. However, Ron was merely surprised and did not feel himself being pick-pocketed. Angel had successfully clouded his rational senses.
“I just wanted to hug you for one last time and all the best in catching the thief!” Angel wished gleefully. She wanted a confrontation with Ron as soon as possible. She wanted to know what he would do to her upon realizing that she was the thief he was searching for.

Raymond finally returned home but Leila was not in. He wanted to pass her some gifts he bought for her. Raymond had returned from his holiday trip, determined to forget his past, and moved on. He would try to love Leila with a new heart and create a pleasant future for himself. He was prepared for a new lease of life.
“Tavia, it is time for me to let go, isn’t it?” Raymond smiled to himself as he thought of the woman he once loved so much. He recalled her smiles, her laughter, her jokes, her every single movement and her death. “I will let you go, but I will not forgive him. He caused your death and now he is leading a successful life as a policeman. Contradicting, isn’t it? A murderer like him is now a professional police officer?” Raymond sneered.
“Ron Ng, I will never forgive you.”
