Chapter 5

Arjun -

Arjun couldn't believe what happened there. Never in million years he was ready to face this situation. Never in his dreams he thought that he will come to face her after all these years. After all this time he met her. He hadn’t forgotten about her after all these years.  There were many times he got the idea to search for Ana. But he dismissed the idea thinking that  she s having a good life wherever she is and he should not bother her life.

Now that he came face to face with her, he wanted to talk to her and ask her about her life. But he knew he couldn't do that.  At least not now.

And getting to know that she is the daughter of one of the most powerful businessman in the world was a huge blow for him. He never thought that she was an heiress for a multibillion company. She never gave him a reason to even think like that. . She was an A class nerd in the university. Had no friends. And also, was a scholarship student. They were the only friends she had all those years. So, if she was a heiress why on earth did she become a scholarship student and why on earth didn't she interact with the students of their social circle.

Arjun knew that the all the heiresses and heirs were extremely close with each other. He was not familiar with those people because he was from India but what about her. He had seen them in their university. As they were Asian's they didn't interact with them much but they were somewhat close. But only Ana didn't want to associate with them. Those days he even asked Ana why don't she speak with them. But she successfully dodged the question. But now getting to know her status Arjun was even more curious with the way she behaved those days. He was thinking those things when he felt someone tap his shoulder.

"Arjun!! Arjun!! what on earth are you thinking" he heard his friends asking him

That's when he came from his dream world.

"Arjun isn't that Ana. I can't believe that we met her like this. She is the CEO of this company. I can't believe this yaar!!!. She has become a beautiful woman. What has happened to our nerdy Ana? She has become a living goddess. " Said Rohan.

Arjun also couldn't comprehend anything to tell his blabbering friend. he was also out of ideas. This is something he never imagined that would happen. He wanted to get drunk. he wanted make this disturbing feelings go away from his mind. With that thought in his mind three friends went to his apartment which was in the city.

Lucky for them , the housekeeper had cleaned the apartment when they arrived. This was the first time he came to his apartment after a long time. In the past even though he came to London he didn't bother to come to his apartment or to a mansion their family owned here. He would always stay in a hotel and go back to India as soon as possible. But this time as he had decided to stay here for a long time and as he came with his friends so,  he thought that it would be good if he stay in the apartment.

Although , his body was in here his mind was in a faraway place. He couldn't forget the image of his long lost best friend Ana from his mind. He didn't know the reason. He just got a feeling that something is going to happen . It was just a gut feeling that made his stomach churn with anxiety. But  he decided to ignore this feeling. Ana was his friend but she was not an important person in his life anyways. So why should he have to make his day terrible with these thoughts he said to himself.

 If only he knew about the things that he will have to face in the near future.

Three friends decided to ignore the things happened in the evening and enjoy their time to the fullest. After all this will be the last trip their friend attend as a bachelor. But deep down they knew that they had to speak about the things and it was not something they should ignore. Just when they decided to get drunk, they heard a sound of a phone. It was Arjun's. And it was Isha.

That's when Arjun remembered that he didn't inform Isha about his safe landing or he didn't talk to Isha today. He was so much engrossed in his thoughts he forgot Isha. He was guilty. He didn't want to voice his thoughts but he knew why he was guilty for. He was thinking about another woman without even talking to his fiancée. But pushing his thoughts aside he answered his phone.

"hi honey" he heard her voice.

Arjun's heart fluttered at her voice. Her voice was enough to make him feel calm. ooh how much did he love this woman. He had no idea.

"Hi Ishu. I am sorry. I was busy all day and I didn't have time to speak to you" he said to the speaker.

"Humph. its okay Arju. I know. but when will you finish your work there? I am so excited for our wedding" he could hear Isha saying.

He was also really excited about his wedding before. but now he didn’t know. He was having a gut feeling. He didn't know what was this feeling. But he surely knew that this was not something good. And also the past memories start to flood in to his mind making him even more guilty for hiding things from Isha.

"yeah me too Ishu. wait for me to arrive and make you mine forever." he said

"ok I will wait. bye and I love you"

"I love you too Ishu. So very much. You have no idea.  Good night hon" he said

" I know... " saying that she cut the call.

After the call when he went to the living room, he could see that his friends are sleeping.  So he also decided to wrap up the things and sleep. Tomorrow will be a very long day and he knew it.

Rohan -

(After the meeting)

Rohan couldn't believe what he was seeing. She was here. After all these year he got to see her. For him Ana was like a little sister he never had. She was the only woman that didn't pretended to be someone who she never was. For that he really admired her and loved her. She was their best friend until Arjun messed it all. If he didn't messed it up today they might have become really close. But bygones are bygones. There is nothing he could do about that now. Looking at the woman she had become today he was proud. He knew her as a nerdy scholarship student so the place she was now today was unimaginable. That's when her name came to his mind. Didn't she said that she is Iziyana Meyline De Raz. That means she is the daughter of Mr. Richard.

All throughout the meeting he couldn't concentrate a bit. She was amazing. He could say that. She was a very talented  woman he could see that too. The person she was during their university days was a façade. He understood it. This was her real self. Cunning, Intelligent and witty. But the only problem was why on earth did she behave like that. He need answers and he will surely get those from her.

He could see that Arjun was in a bad mood. He knew this was something he didn't expect to happened. Even they didn't expect this to happen right. Meeting was done and they successfully signed the contract. Without even glancing at them he could see Ana going from there. "It doesn't matter. I will talk to he later" he thought to himself.

After going to Arjun's apartment, they had some drinks. He was exhausted with the things happened today. Tomorrow also Arjun had to meet with chairman and it would be a long day and he needed sleep . with that thought he fell into a deep slumber.
