While outside, after helping Gianna into the car, Arwen came to sit on the other side. "Alfred, drive us back home," she said, Alfred nodded before staring at the car.

    "You are comfortable, right?" Arwen asked, glancing down at Gianna''s left.

    Gianna didn''t seem to hear her. She was thinking of something else. So, not answering Arwen''s question, she simply muttered under her breath, asking, "Wenna, don''t you think Delyth looked different today? Like it wasn''t here but rather someone else in her place?"

    "Anna, I asked you whether you were comfortable. The journey back home will take some time, so you need to be in a posture that doesn''t tire you out," Arwen said, truly concerned.

    But it was like Gianna had long forgotten about her pain. Her whole focus was to analyze Delyth''s changed attitude. "Oh ho, Wenna, I am better already. Can we now please discuss about what happened inside? I mean do you also think that Delyth seemed to have changed?"

    Arwen sighed when she saw her friend getting hyperactive about having the gossip. Shaking her head, she thought for a moment and said, "Delyth did seem changed today," she slowly said, and Gianna nodded her head profusely.

    "Exactly," she said, "Not just she didn''t stir trouble for you but also took the blame of it all, like really genuinely. It was like she was holding remorse for the things she actually did. If I hadn''t been your friend and hadn''t known all that she has done to you over the years, I would have sincerely felt sympathy for her. She looked so pitiful."

    Arwen paused at her words. Thinking for a moment, she said, "She has really turned to be pitiful, Ann."

    Gianna didn''t understand what she meant. Furrowing her brows, she asked, "What do you mean?"

    Although she has never thought this deeply about it before, however, this suspicion has always been there in her thoughts. Since the day, Delyth had first blamed for this.

    "Arwen, I know where that doubt is coming from," Gianna nodded with some understanding. But then patting the back of her hand firmly, she gave the reason that made sense in the situation. "But you know not every plan is a success. Sometimes evil ploys like hers get backfired and then they have to take the consequence. And Delyth, right now, is taking the consequence of her own."

    Arwen''s brows didn''t ease. Although that seemed to be a possibility, she still felt there was more to it. It was not merely some karmic consequence.

    "I don''t know, Anna, but I feel that when Delyth said that I did it for revenge, she didn''t seem to be lying. She didn''t look like she was trying just to blame me and stir the problem."

    Gianna frowned. "But how can she be right about it, Wenna?" she asked. "It wasn''t like you actually did that to her. You didn''t, and since you didn''t, doesn''t it make her a liar?"

    That was right!

    Arwen didn''t say more. She just remained silent thinking about something.

    Gianna also didn''t probe or disturb her for a while. Silence settled in the care for a good while, until she realized something and she turned back to Arwen. "Oh yes, Wenna," she began with slight puzzlement in her voice, "didn''t you say that Delyth said that you tried to hurt her out of revenge?"

    Arwen glanced up at her and nodded. "Yes," she said and continued, "she said I did it to get back at her for what she did to me."

    "But what did she do to you that would have probed you for the revenge like this," Gianna questioned. "I mean, you didn''t do anything and we know that. But for instance, think if you actually did it, then what would have been the reason? There must been something that she might have done to you that made her believe that you are coming back at her for it. After all, ''tit'' always happens for the ''tat''. Without a tat, the revenge strategy will fail."
