She is indeed heartless

" Why , it is impossible ? " , Anna was curiously looking at Hazel.

If you love someone so much, then what's wrong with expressing it?

"We were never made for each other " , her mouth twisted into a bitter smile , as she was trying her best to bury her feelings.Shelost the power of thinking or understanding , It was as if her heart were sinking into a deep abyss.

"Then why you cry remembering him , go ahead , Hazel ". If she can't go to him and she can't even forget him ,then it's better to move on with life." You should move on , now " , after her words , Anna saw , Hazel blinking back a tear.

"You think that if you go in his life again , everything will be destroyed ? " , Anna scanned her face for any clue for what she was pondering." He is very happy in his life, And I want the smile on his face to never go away " , The traitor tear was already slipping down her cheek , but stepping into someone's life again from whom she vanished long ago was nothing but a bad deception.

" Even if Hazel Blackwell is not in his life " , Anna repeated the words that shook her body again." Yes, whether I am in his life or not " .Although , Anna knew Hazel very well ,but there was one thing that Anna was so wrong about .

Hazel don't have the courage to live in this world , anymore.

The veil of braveness she is wearing , is because of her hectic duties and she had to feed mouths of Anna and Emma.Otherwise , she would have died long ago , totally dissappearing from this world like there was no Hazel Blackwell ever existed.

Hazel felt her surroundings suffocated . Her heart was going heavier and heavier, but still Hazel didn't tell Anna about the cause of her grief . The man whom she met today , in the rain , he seemed very familiar to her , his eyes were like him , the person whom she has been trying to erase from her memory.

How much she wanted to cry loudly when she only shook her head in utter grief before managing " Anna ... leave me for sometime " , and with that she closed her eyes , to motion Anna to leave her alone.Before , Anna could say something more , her phoned buzzed , and she walked upstairs to attend the call , abandoning Hazel alone.

Staying for sometime there ,staring deeply out of the window , Hazel was tired , so she decided to move upstairs to sleep.When she was about to close the window and spin her head , then suddenly she caught a side of a figure on the road.

A firm frame was standing on the road , due to darkness his features were not clear. His dark glare was fixed on her , making a chill ran down her body . His blue orbs stared deeply at her , showing a sensation of scrutiny.His grave eyes , his aura , and the intimating vibes he was emitting were all enough to make Hazel gulped the unknown bile formed in her mouth . 

Realizing that she was to staring at him too keenly and she was lost in that pair of eyes that held nothing but an extreme kind of loathe for her , she was shaken badly the moment when she observed a dart of promise flashed in his eyes.

A vow that may destroy her forever ,

And perhaps it will become one of the worst dreams of her life. 

He was looking like the same man with whom she bumped into on the road , but how could it be ? . She must be hallucinating! , she encouraged herself as she tried to calm down her raising nerves.

" Hazel ...", Anna voiced out suddenly , making their eyecontact to break and Hazel jerked her head to look upstairs.

When Hazel glanced at the foot path again , the path was empty , like there was no one ever there.Hurriedly , Hazel locked the window and got back to her room . She didn't know but her breath was getting lower and lower, as she was getting restless by each passing minute.

She was scared like hell , why did his eyes hold a 

promise of shattering her , making her totally deprived of everything she had . 

 Why will a stranger hate her?

But she was also not mistaken for the hate she had witnessed in those eyes.

" Maybe , I am thinking too much , it is nothing , Maybe he was just a passer-by ". Hazel tried to fight with her undesired fears , as getting stressed over a stranger was the last thing , she wished to carry now.

Swallowing her sleeping medicine down , and struggling for two hours in the bed , finally sleep consumed her . /

........

In morning,

Constant ringing of the phone , made her woke up."Hello ..Who ...?" , she groaned while her other hand was squeezing her closed eyes." Ryan ..." , a grave voice sounded from the other side . 

" How are you Hazel ? ", Ryan asked with a thousand of unsaid emotions accompanying his voice . All the sleep in her eyes was vanished and with a husky voice she replied,

" Fine ... What about you ? ".

" I am also the same .... ". Ryan replied and sighed in distress.

To his dismay , this girl didn't love him , her reply was the same devoid of any kind of emotion for him.Ryan William , the sole heir of William corporation , belonged from one of the elite families of Newyork , but he wanted only one thing in his life , the girl he loved from the past five years.

After two minutes silence , Ryan finally spoke,

" I bought an apartment , according to living conditions that you people need , you can see it today ".

Sitting up on the bed , Hazel cleared her throat and said 

," Okay , I will tell Anna and Emma about this ".Biting her inner cheek , with a guilt crackling through her body , she took a deep sigh.She was very well aware of the deep emotions , Ryan has for her , but what could she do , she was still stuck in her past.

" Okay , I will pick ...you up guys , at 5 in the evening ".It would have been fortunate if Hazel had only for a second , responded to his feelings.

Perhaps , it will never happen in this life !

" Bye .. ", and with that Ryan cut the call.

She stood up , rustling her blanket away , she went to the bathroom .Glancing at her reflection in the mirror , she tried to grasp her unsteady steps on the floor.The conversation between her and Anna reverberated in her mind , she gripped at the edge of basin tightly not to  allow herself  to  flow into the vast ocean of sour emotions again.

They were never meant for each other , it was the cruel truth that she has to live with , he must have forgotten her.But , despite of weathering the storm in her heart , she couldn't help but questioned her soul ," Am I in his memories ?,Does he know that a girl in Newyork still remembers him ? " . 

Hazel was at the verge of loosing herself again in the reminescene of her past.Giving herself a sour look in the mirror again ,she took the bath as soon as possible.

She dressed herself and propped to the kitchen . Preparing breakfast , she waited for Anna and Emma . About twenty minutes later , they came and took their seats on the chairs.Finishing the food , Hazel informed Anna about the details of their new apartment and kissing Emma's cheeks ..." Bye sweety " ,she said and turned towards the door.

.....

" We are going to our new house ", Emma cheered happily.

" Yes , my baby , we are!", carrying Emma in her arms , Hazel replied.A horn from outside , shifted her attention.

" Let's go ,Anna .." , Hazel called Anna , who was busy in typing on the phone . And with that , cuddling Emma in her arms , she followed Anna.Leaning against his Black ferrari , Ryan was watching at his watch frequently.

A dart of emotions passed his eyes , when his gaze fell on her. If it were not for Anna clearing her throat intentionally , Ryan would have never been desired to avert his gaze from Hazel.

" Ohh let's ,Go.." , Ryan turned towards his seat.

" Have you lost your mind Ryan !, She must have thinking you are a fool " ,he cursed under his breathe.

 After, about half an hour , their car halted infront of a beautiful house.It was a lavishly decorated one , with a garden adorned with flowers , adjacent to it . The area surrounded it , also looked expensive .

" But ,you said that you have bought an apartment ...." , Hazel said dumbfoundedly.

It was so high-priced , she couldn't afford it . 

Before , she could stop Anna and Emma , they have already entered into the house.Hazel was about to stroll behind them , when Ryan tugged her arm from behind.

" Let them go , Hazel ..".

" Ryan you lied to me , you are aware of our financial issues , then how could you do this ? ", she was glaring at him in anger.

" I know .., Hazel .. keep it as a gift from me".

" Are you in your senses ? " . Hazel tried her best to keep her voice as low as possible , but she was totally lost at him.

" Years ago , you said , that if one day ,I ask you to do something , you will do .." . Ryan said , fixing his glare on her face which was red with fury.

At that time , Hazel was having an urge to fight with Ryan , and to tell him how ridiculous it sound's that despite of having no money or status to buy this house , she would have to live in these costly walls.But, the memory of her promise to him made her to seal her mouth.Moreover , for the sake of her friendship with him, she is letting him do whatever he wants. 

When he stared at the silent frame of her's and she was saying nothing to him ," Have you forgotten it ? " ,He emphasized his words again.

" I remember ,it clearly , ..but ..it is too much Ryan.. ".

It didn't matter how much she preserved Ryan with her words ,it was all futile ,he remained adamant to his words and didn't allow her to win this argument.

At last , it was settled between them , that she would pay him back someday . If it were not for the promise she had with him , then she would have clearly refused to step even on a single stair of this floor.

" I am going to London for some months ", Ryan broke her trance . Hazel who was listening to the voices of vehicles , looked at him emotionlessly.

" Why ?" Instead of Hazel , Anna asked , from the back seat.

" I have some important buissness there ", he replied curtly.

" Perhaps , he was expecting too much from Hazel " , he took a deep breathe and sighed in grief.During the ride , neither Hazel uttered a word nor Ryan.About half an hour later , Ryan brought them to an ice cream shop. Eating, chatting joyfully , they reached at the gate of their doorway.

Anna brought sleeping Emma into the house , leaving Ryan and Hazel alone in the car. Hazel was about to unlatched the door , when Ryan abruptly stopped her and said " stop".

"Do you want to say something ?", Hazel asked as she stiffened agog for a moment.He took out a thin gold chain from his pocket and said " Turn around".

When he put aside her hairs to access her neck ,from the rear view mirror he saw an emerald stone was already adorned on her chest.A familiar feeling lingered his mind , he has seen it somewhere , but where he couldn't remember it.

" Who gave you this ? " , Ryan asked impatiently , waiting for her answer . His sudden question made a mist of clouds appeared in her eyes . 

" A relative .." , she lied and blinked back her tears . 

Putting aside his weird perceptions , he was about to unlock the hook of the silver chain when he heard her saying " No, Ryan.. don't ".

He understood that it was special to her, so he let it stay on her body.

" Okay , Can I put this ? ". he asked for a permission.

" Yes .." ,she said. 

" Then , move your head ".

She obeyed his words and twisted her body , her back facing him , he put on the necklace on her neck and mumbled," perfect".

The sensation of the touch of his finger , made her flinch.

This, scene was captured by a hidden eye, hiding secretly behind the tree.Hazel glanced at the chain in the rearview mirror and examined it " but", she was about to speak.

" Please don't , say anything.. just wear it", he asked softly and gave her a pleading gaze.

She touched the H alphabet in chain and examined it, it was beautiful."Okay, now I should go ", she replied ,and quickly ,opening the passenger seat ,"bye", she said ,and without casting again in his eyes , she walked into her house.She didn't even said ," thank you" to him and ran away. Ryan looked at her dissappearing back for a long time , " You are indeed heartless ,Hazel Blackwell " , he was heart broken.Then his car roared and drove back to his mansion.
