I don't know who is he.

•Second ML
•Age: 27
•Relation: Celestia's best friend since standard 8th
•Has been in love with her secretly.
Carter
Yep, how you must be knowing me when I have shifted here just some hours ago?😄
Carter
Myself Carter Yardley, My grandmother and I have just shifted here.
Carter
Here's something I'd like to offer.
*Forwards the sweets' box.*
Carter
Yeah, I believe we could be friends.😊
Vincent
Yep, sure. This is Martin's mansion.
Carter
Alright, then. Gotta go.
Vincent
Yeah.
*Closes the door.*
Celestia
*Gets near the dinning table.*
I will serve, then.
Vincent
Err, Celeste, do you know him?
Celestia
*Shouts.*
Are you again gonna ask me a bunch of questions when you know I hate that?
Vincent
I was just asking because you were surprised looking at him-
Celestia
Yep, I kinda know him, so what?
Vincent
Like you never told me about-
Celestia
*Bangs the glass on the table.*
Am I supposed to tell you about every single person I meet?!
Vincent
I was asking casual-
Celestia
You are always curious with my activities and conversation with others!
Celestia
You always want to know what I do every single day!
Celestia
You have even started coming at my home since a year!
Celestia
What the hell do you even want?!
Celestia
*Teary.*
It's like- it's like you want to control what I do!
Celestia
Ever since Peter has died, you have become overprotective, you think whatever I do would lead to something worse!
Celestia
You don't even let me go alone to the hospital! It was just the last week when you didn't get a leave from your office, and hence I got a chance to go alone for once!
Celestia
And there I met that guy? Happy to know now?
Celestia
We didn't talk much, anything more you wanna know? I didn't even know his name till now.
Celestia
What more do you want to know?
Vincent
Celeste, wait!
*Keeps his hands on her shoulders.*
Vincent
My intentions weren't to control you...
Vincent
I am just worried because you have been suic**dal ever since Peter died.
Vincent
A year ago, you talked with a guy, with whom you argued very badly and that led to a passerby complain to the police about you and the other person involved in the argument.
Vincent
You have been paranoid ever since Peter's demise.
Vincent
I just didn't want to create more problems to you, nor do I want to let you feel alone.
Vincent
And that's the reason why I visit every evening.
Vincent
Is that a bad thing to care about your friend who has been suffering for so long?
Vincent
I just care about you, it's not what you think-
Celestia
But can't you understand that you CONTROL MY EVERY SINGLE MOVE?!
Celestia
Do you think my paranoia and depression would hit me every single time?!
Celestia
Do you know how frustrating it is to see you visiting me every time because it's always 'I am at the fault'?
Celestia
I did this, so you come here every evening; I did that, so you ask me about every single activity of mine, I am so tired of this!
Celestia
It feels like rather than care, you pity me!
Vincent
*Widen eyes.*
What?
Vincent
Do you think whatever I have done for you till now was just a mere pity?!
Celestia
*Shouts.*
Then who the hell would care about their best friend every single second of their life?!!
Celestia
I don't about how you do that, but if I had met a person like me, I would've surely gone mad till now!🤯
Celestia
I don't think a normal person would be so concerned about the other all the very time, unless it's the sympathy!
Celestia
*Cries.*
Only Peter understood me!
Celestia
He knew what exactly I were, he knew what it would feel when someone will keep on asking the questions "What did you do the whole day?
"Why didn't you do this?"
"Why did you do that?"
Vincent
Celeste, can't you understand my reasons over this?
*Smiles sadly.*
Vincent
Last time... I just got busy with my brother's upcoming exams, and you became suicidal.
Vincent
*Grabs his hair.*
If I wouldn't have come at your home that day just to see you, maybe I would've lost you forever...
Vincent
I ask you everytime because I want to know whether you have been having self h**m thoughts again.
Vincent
I never thought you would take it all as a sympathy, whereas it was all a genuine concern about your best friend's life.
Celestia
But it suffocates me!
Celestia
Peter never did that!
Vincent
*Shouts.*
I AM NOT PETER!
Vincent
I have my other way of caring you!
Vincent
Stop comparing me with your ex husband, he was your lover and I am your best friend!
Vincent
*Calms down.*
And if you have so many problems with my questions, fine I will stop asking you.
Vincent
*Sighs.*
Have your dinner, I will be leaving.
Celestia
*Looks at him immediately.*
Hey, you haven't had anything since afternoon-
Vincent
It's okay, I will grab something while going at home.
Vincent
*Walks towards the door.*
And... I will lessen my visits from now on.
Vincent
*Looks back.*
Celestia, I don't want to lose you to death, you get it?
Vincent
My intention was never to let you suffocate, but to know if everything's fine, I am sorry again.
Vincent
*Closes the door and gets outside.*
Vincent
*Angry.*
Why the hell are you standing in front of the door?
