CHAPTER 6

Naved

Today I was being tired so much to be at home. I would like to work instead of wasting my time at home. And that girl Sneha seriously I being tired to be with her. It was a different thing in childhood but I think mom doesn't know she thinks that I am always good at every relation but in girls matter, I want space I don't wanna talk to any girl don't know why it is like that. But I was falling for Anabiya how I forget that she is also a girl why I don't feel the same for her which I felt for every girl. Talk about Sneha yes I agree she was my best friend in my childhood but now I have no interest in any girl don't know why mom doesn't understand that.

Thinking of these all things I forget that I have to message Mr Raj for tomorrow meeting as we have say to him sorry that we can't continue with him in this project. It was a really big day for me tomorrow I have to sign one deal and cancel another hope everything will be on my luck.

I put out my mobile phone and saw my notification bar there was a lot of notifications from the same university group which I join this morning. But I ignored them as I have to arrange my meeting so I messaged Raj for the meeting. And lay down to sleep as I was so tired.

The next morning when I wake up I felt so fresh again I don't have any kind of nightmare but how it is possible from past 2 years when I came from Bangalore I always got that kind of nightmares in which I find myself alone and on the bed of death. And I didn't understand why I have nightmares like that but for the past 2 nights I am not getting it. After completing my university I cut off myself from everyone don't know how I still unable to understand that I lost my mobile during the return to my house after that when I got new mobile I forgets my all social media account password. It's strange but it is the reality of mine. Maybe it is because I was in a coma for 3 months. During the journey towards my home after the completion of my studies, I met with an accident and got an injury in my head. I was in hospital bed for 3 months I have a huge group of my friends in university but when I was there no one came to meet me And after 3 months I realised your close ones are only those who are stand with you in your sorrows. And that time only Mom and Altaf with me and when I gain my senses I thought that day to cut off from everyone. Even I don't remember many of people names and faces and Anabi is one of them. But that girl made me stand again on that place that I search my university group and also made a post.

"Naved, Naved get down fast I have an urgent work with you." I was thinking about to open that group but mom called me and I stepped down. When I got down breakfast table was already set for me. Mom was smiling after seeing me.

"Good Morning Mom." I smiled back at her

"Good Morning my son have a sit and take your breakfast."

"No Mom today I am really in a hurry as I have an urgent meeting I will take breakfast in office."

"No, first sit take your breakfast and then go. "

"You are stubborn Mom." I took my sit I will never win against her. I took the sip of juice

"So I was saying, appoint Sneha as your PA."

"What? " I was drinking juice but it seems like it stuck in my throat.

"Yes, she want to try something different she doesn't want to be a boss directly. That's why. "

"That's why you suggest her my company name why Mom why is there not any else company where she can try sorry I reject her. " I cut her in between. First time I talk to my mom in this tone but the truth is I really don't wanna appoint that girl. She is really disgusting I understand it only in few hours.

"Naved." She tried to talk to me again.

"No, Mom sorry I can't do that don't try to do emotional blackmail."

"But she is your best friend." She tried again to manipulate me.

"She was and at that time also she was the one who always talk to me not me. Now bye I have to rush somewhere." Saying that I took my coat and walked toward exit.

Sitting in the car I make a call to my receptionist.

"Call Miss Anabiya and told her I am coming to pick up her." I informed

"But sir she is already here."

"What. I mean okay." Saying that I cut the call

But I was really in frustration. I already told her and still she didn't obey. It's 10 pm and the meeting time was 10:30 and I don't want to be late her home was in the middle of my way but now first I have to go to my office.

"Take the car to the office." I ordered my driver.

Reaching at office everyone started wishes me good morning but again I didn't reply it was the second time when I didn't reply to my employees it was all because of Anabiya I always got frustrated because of her. I didn't pay too much attention to anywhere and  directly stopped at Anabiya's cabin. She was indulge in some files

"Anabiya, Miss- Sheikh, Anabiya." I call her so many times but there was no response it was the enough for my patience.

"Anabiya, are you deaf?" I screamed at a high pitch.

"Yes yes am sorry. " She stands up abruptly

"How many times I called your name but you didn't listen ok leave that tell me what I told you yesterday?"

"But sir I already inform Altaf Sir."

"Oh plz Miss.Sheikh don't take his name you did a mistake now you are making an excuse with the name of Altaf."

She was about to say something but I stopped

"Ok, now I don't want to listen anything let's go we are getting late for our meeting."

Maybe she understood that I am so much angry that's why without saying anything she got up from her place and start following me in the way we met Altaf I was talking to him nicely but Anabiya didn't say anything to him after wishing him good morning.

We reached at parking,the driver was not there so I took the driving seat as we have only 10 minutes to reach.

"Read the file carefully as we are not coming back to office we will directly go to Mehrotra office and you have to present our company there understood." I ordered him while putting my seat belt.

"I am your finance manager and you are giving me work like I am your PA." She argued

"Not a bad idea I can give you that designation if you want." I smirked at her.

She didn't say anything and start focusing on files. I like this quality of her she doesn't blabber like other girls.

We reached Raj's office on time. We were on  elevator again. I remember yesterday's moment. She was still studying the file and I was staring at her without any kind of disturbance and this thing soothing me very well. My all frustration all anger went away. We reached at the conference hall floor but I didn't notice. She snapped her fingers in front of me from that I came into my senses.

"Are you sure you are not dealing with us?" Raj asked me

"Yes am sorry hope you understand." I apologise.

"Ok I will but on one condition" he said seeing towards Anabiya.

"Yes say."

"I want this girl as my PA." He said

"What." Both Anabiya and me screams together.

"Yes I want her as my personal assistant or want her for one night if you can then I will cancel this deal you don't know how much it will difficult for me to find a new partner for this deal if you agree my condition then I will otherwise you have to face consequences."

Without any second thought I stood up and hold his collar.

"You don't know how to talk about any girl, you were my good friend I didn't expect it form you but today I don't only finish this deal but also this friendship and you talked about consequences do whatever you want I don't fucking care." Anabiya was silent in all matter she was not saying anything I hold her hand and came out of his so called office. I took my driving seat and drank the water.

"Are you fine?" She asked taking the seat beside me

"Hmmm, I think we have to go back to office if you want I can drop you at your home."

"No we have to go to Mehrotra office let's go."

But I put my head on my car bonnet. I was crying don't know why but I was. Then suddenly I felt someone's hand on my hand.

"Sir, are you fine." She asked again

And I hugged her suddenly.

Am sorry am sorry Anabi if I knew that I will not come with you. Am sorry.

Anabiya

He hugged me I felt current all over my body. After 2 years he was so hell close to me maybe it was normal for him but not for me. She was the only person I went so close. Now after being so close to him my heart beat pounding very fast I was about to hug him back that my eyes stuck on a key chain which was hanging in his car. I push him away and took that in my hand

"This." I was about to complete my sentence.

"Yes it was gifted by my Mom." He says seeing that key chain it was gifted by me to him. It was a beautiful key chain made with two words N and A. But how can he say that it was gifted by his Mom.

"Are you sure it is gifted by your Mom." I asked him.

"Yes, my Mom name starts with A and N for Naved." He replied

"Oh, ok let's go." I closed the topic but now I was really at stake what is the really matter? Ok he didn't recognise me I understand but now this key chain he had this but he didn't remember who gave it to him

"Am sorry." He again said sorry.

"For what? I again asked the same question

"For hugging you like this." He was sorry third time but not for that thing which I want to listen but can I be able to forgive him when he will said sorry.

"It's ok now let's go. We have another meeting and you know what I felt we did it right to cancel that deal." I chuckled

"You are okay" he saw towards me

"Yes what will happend to me?"

"Was it really easy for you?"

"No, but don't know  why I felt relax maybe before this I always fought for myself no one was there but today you did that's why I am so comfortable and thanks for that."

He smiles after listening that and his smile was my weakness always in the campus no matter where we stand whenever I used to see him laughing, I used to get lost. I always wish his smile never vanished from his face and today also I wished the same. It happens that no matter how bad someone does to you, but you can not think bad about him even if you want to.

I also start smiling seeing him like that and we happily start our new journey.
