Chapter 2: Overflowing tears

That evening, Lina and Hasan were dining at a fancy restaurant. When she talked happily and comfortably, Lina suddenly quieted down a bit and then slowly spoke:

“ Hasan, the thing is...”

“ What's wrong, what's your problem?”

“ Oh no, it's not. The thing is, I... ever since you went to study abroad, I've been waiting for you every day. My feelings for you haven't changed, so... can we?”

Hasan heard Lina speak, he looked at her, she lowered her head, not daring to look at him. Hasan recalled that 5 years ago, the night before going abroad to study, Lina also asked him out. But at that time, he used the excuse of wanting to focus on his studies and refused Lina. Now once again Lina asked, he didn't know what to say anymore, he sighed and said:

“ Lina, I am very grateful for your love for me. I also appreciate that sentiment, but for me, I consider you a relative of mine. There's only been one person in my heart so far, and that's Marina.”

“Hasan...you...”

“ I'm sorry!”

Rejected, Lina got up and ran out of the restaurant. After a while, Hasan also left, he called Marina to invite her to a bar in the city center. He also wanted to confess his feelings for Marina, which he had hidden for a long time.

At this time, Lina walked alone on the street, her high heels scratched her legs making her limp. It was pouring rain heavily, but Lina kept walking in a daze in the rain, suddenly she caught sight of Hasan sitting happily talking with Marina in the bar, looking back, she felt so pathetic. But when she saw Marina's smile with Hasan, Lina became even more jealous, she hated that she could not replace Marina at this time. Lina clenched her fists and looked at Marina with angry eyes for a moment and then left.

Marina was talking to Hasan when she accidentally looked outside the door, she saw a familiar figure and immediately recognized it as Lina.

“ Hasan, I'll be right back.”

Marina said then got up and ran to the front desk immediately and borrowed an umbrella, she ran towards Lina with an umbrella:

“ Lina, how are you? This way you will catch a cold, can we go to that bar and sit until the weather clears?”

Marina walked over to cover Lina's umbrella and tried to help Lina into the bar, but in response to Marina's concern, Lina suddenly jerked her hand and pushed her away, causing her to fall to the ground. The umbrella was also thrown away. Lina looked at Marina with hateful eyes and said:

“ You stop acting like a good person, who made me this miserable, who made me this miserable? It's you, it's you, Marina. You shouldn't have appeared, you and I shouldn't have met, you shouldn't have existed in my life. I will never forgive you, I will make you pay, make you taste the bad that I went through!”

After that, Lina ran away leaving Marina lying on the ground in a daze, she did not understand what was happening. She couldn't imagine that the friend she had always considered a close sister could say such hurtful things to her. She just sat there, her tears merged with the rain, she no longer cared about Hasan's greetings, and just like that, Hasan stood under the umbrella for Marina in the rain for an unknown amount of time.

At this time, Lina had returned home, she angrily went straight to her room when the sound of her parents talking caught her attention and stopped to listen even though her whole body was drenched.

“ Baby, so we were right with that hypothesis, people have predestined fate and two people come together in this life because of the affection of their previous life.”

“ That's right, now just need to verify with the device that the past life that you researched, our spiritual research can be said to be half successful.”

Then Mrs. Pappas started the machine, the device worked and the image of Mr. and Mrs. Pappas in the previous life appeared, in the previous life, the two also had feelings and lived happily together. All of this was witnessed by Lina from the outside. A crazy thought popped up in her mind, she smiled sinisterly and left.

At this time at Vlachos' house, Marina was brought home by Hasan, her mother picked her up and helped her into the room. She worriedly asked Hasan:

“What happened to Marina?”

“ Lady Vlachos, I'm sorry for not taking good care of Marina, but she is in shock right now. I think he needs to rest for a few days before he can calm down.”

“ Hasan, tell me what happened to her, she has never caused anyone to worry before.”

Under the interrogation of Mrs. Vlachos, Hasan had to tell her everything. After hearing that, Madame Vlachos said sadly:

“ Poor girl, she always considers Lina her relative. But you also did a good job, if you don't have feelings, you should say it from the beginning so that Lina won't have to hope.”

“Yes, you right. It's getting late, I'll ask permission to go home so that the lady and Marina can rest. I will visit she tomorrow.”

“ Okay, thank you, Hasan.”

Mrs. Vlachos, after seeing off Hasan, went into Marina's room, she gently stroked her small face and was heartbroken. Then kissed her lightly on the forehead and left. She went back to her study and continued to study a newly unearthed relief. But when holding the bas-relief, the face immediately changed color, on the relief appeared a crack when it was still intact just now.

At this time at Lina's house, she was still awake to carry out her plan. When she determined that her parents were asleep, she sneaked into their study. Standing in front of the device to see her past life, she smirked and pressed the button to start the device. But Lina couldn't keep her joy long when the words appeared on the screen:

[Please send DNA samples].

This was something that Lina did not anticipate, now she could only look at her past life.

“ Tsk!”

She clicked her tongue and then pulled a strand of her hair onto the device. She anxiously waited for the analyzer, and when she saw the results, she was surprised:

“ Hasan?”

Seeing Hasan appear in her previous life, Lina was happy because she thought that she and Hasan were predestined from the previous life. But the smile quickly disappeared as she witnessed the Hasan person holding his arm, not her own, but another girl. But the DNA wasn't involved, so she couldn't make out the girl's figure.

* Boom!*

“ Damn it! But not me. Who is it after all?”

Lina angrily slammed her hand on the table, making a loud noise that woke her parents up. Lina had to leave before her parents came in and discovered her.
