JUSTIN'S POV:
I walked back to the cabin thinking about every way through which I can make it up with her but when I saw her, I felt uneasy. Her eyes were red as if she had cried. Is she okay? Is she.... really that upset?
I sat on my chair and started doing my work but I couldn't concentrate on my work. I was peeking at her time and again. Did my words really mean that much to her?
"Of course you idiot. She accepted you as your friend. She put so much of efforts to make you smile. And look at what you did? You made her cry." The angel blamed him.
"Well I told you not to involve yourself with woman. No woman, no problem. Now look where you're trapped in." smirked the demon.
I... I... Ughhh! What should I do now? (looks at Ivana) Should I... should I say sorry to her? But... how will I say that?
"I am sorry..." No no... that's too simple. She cried because of my words.
"I am sorry Ivana." Wait, how will she feel if I call her wit
IVANA'S POV:I had no mood to eat anything but still I prepared dinner for both of us. For him cause he might be hungry and for me cause... I'm hoping that we might have conversation at least on dinner table.When I was done with dinner, I walked out of the kitchen and was looking towards door. I was waiting for him. But I heard footsteps coming from the staircase instead. Oh, he had already arrived.He went straight to dinner table with his eyes glued on his phone. I served him food and took a smaller portion for myself. I was taking glances at him time and again but he was totally engulfed on his phone.He didn't even look towards me for once. I was upset cause we had no conversation during whole time. When I was working in kitchen after dinner when someone coughed from behind.It was him. "Come to balcony after you're done" He just walked away without waiting for my answer.What? Why? What does he mean? He was so cold. Maybe he's going to
IVANA'S POV:Today's morning was extra special. A smile crept on my face when I found myself in his arms again. After whatever happened yesterday, my respect for him has really increased.The effort he made for me, I will never forget it and I promise I'll equally take his care as well. I'll try to make him smile, just the way he made me smile. I'll try to ease his tension and stress, just the way he tries for me. I'll try to be someone, with whom he'll feel free to share his burden. I feel he has something deep in his heart. I don't know what it is. But that is something which stops him from being himself.I was waiting for him with breakfast ready. He walked out from the room and today, he ate without looking at his phone just like a good boy.And then we went to office with both of us singing song like crazy. But we both were professional as soon as we reached office premises. I started doing my work as soon as I reached cabin.JUSTIN'S POV:
IVANA'S POV:I got out of my thoughts when the sunrays peeped through the window on my face. I gathered all the photographs that were spread on sofa and kept it back to wardrobe. I saw my face in mirror and all I could see was a broken version of myself. No matter how strong I try to be, this day makes me weak and makes me realise that I can never be strong.I couldn't sleep for whole night. I was silently shedding tears since yesterday night with the hope that my tears may wash off this day. But as every year, I'll have to go through this day again. I walked with all those photographs towards sofa last night, peeping back to the times when I used to be happy, when I used to be loved and when I used to be excited for my birthday. But now, I just hate hate and hate this day.My eyes were all puffed so I did a little makeup today. I don't want to show my vulnerability to anyone. He was still sleeping so I didn't want to disturb him. I prepared breakfast for him an
JUSTIN'S POV:I was patting her back. I don't know if I was doing it right or not, but I really wanted to do that for her. After a long time, I felt someone else's pain cause I was stuck in my own world of pain since years. But today, I wanted to be there for her but I don't know if I can do it for her cause I... I'm broken myself.After sometimes, she finally stopped crying but she was getting hiccups after crying so much. I made her sit in the car and gave her water bottle. She took some sips and started taking long deep breaths."Please, take me away from here." She said which was more like a whisper. I drove away from there but I was looking at her time and again."Please, can you run the company well after you take it under your control?" she spoke in a low voice. I didn't reply anything to her."I know you'll have to take it for fulfilling company's loss but... it was my dad's dream. So please, don't let it go in vain." she said looking out o
JUSTIN'S POV:I was exactly afraid of this. She ran away from there and everyone started panicking."Oh no! What will we do now?" said Miya."Where did she go?" asked Nancy."I'll go see, just wait here." I walked out of the room saying so and started searching for her. I looked after every corner of the company but she was nowhere. So I walked out of the company and there she was, in the backyard.I could feel that she was crying. When I approached near her, she turned towards me. I felt really uneasy."Why.... why did you do all this? Sob sob... You know right? You know that I hate this day. Sob sob.... You know what this day has snatched from me right?""I know Ivana. But...""I thought you cared for me. Sob sob... I thought you respected my emotions. But you proved me wrong. Sob sob... You even made joke of my emotions.""No Ivana, I...""Why did you make fun of me and my emotions? Sob sob... You know th
IVANA'S POV:"Are you okay my child?" Mom hugged me as soon as we entered the hall."We are with you my child. You are not alone. You deserve happiness. I'm sure your parents must be really proud of what you are today. Also, your parents wouldn't be happy to see you crying on your special day baby." Mom said breaking the hug."Yes my child, we are with you. You are our daughter and I'm really excited for celebrating my daughter's birthday. Come, let's cut the cake." Dad blessed me with his hands on my head."No... no way. She needs to get ready first. Miya, Nancy, help her out please."Nancy and Miya took me to next room as per mom's order. They made me wear a black knee length off shoulder dress that mom had brought for me. I liked the fact that it was not glittery so I didn't feel extreme awkward to wear it on my birthday which is also... my parent's death anniversary.Nancy started doing some makeover. I didn't object cause I didn't want
IVANA'S POV:Getting up this morning, I was feeling different vibes. I was in his strong arms wrapped comfortably. This made my mood, extremely good. I don't know if I'm being selfish but I want to wake up everyday in his arms.I still remember that day when I was scared as hell when I found myself in his arms for the first time. But today, I was feeling protected in his arms. I want to feel the warmth of his arms, everyday like this.I trailed my hand over his smooth hairs. He looks, amazingly handsome, especially when he's sleeping this peacefully.(Kisses on his forehead.)What.. did I... (Gets herself free from his grip slowly and runs to washroom.)What did I do? What would've happen if he'd have woken up? What would've he thought about me if he would've found me kissing on his forehead? (Trails fingers on her lips and a smile creeps on her face.)I don't know what's all this happening to me. I want to be with him, care for
IVANA'S POV:"Edward brother, how do you think will this project go? Do you think I need to make any changes in it? Do you think we'll be able go meet target with this number of workers, or should I add more?" I was discussing my next project for Williams corporation with Edward brother while having lunch."No, it's perfect. I don't think you'll have to make any changes in the plan.""I'm rest assured then, thank you brother.""My pleasure. By the way, where is Justin? Didn't he help you? Did he behave rude with you when you asked for help? Tell me if that's the case...""No no brother, actually he is busy for the meeting we have with Stephen's Corp today. He was busy a whole week for this as this is really important for the company. So I didn't ask for his help.""Oh it's okay if that's the case. Well Iva, I want to say something.""Yeah sure.""Thank you.""Thank you? For what brother?""For changing my idiot be
