Chapter 4

     Naved POV continues

I reached in my cabin and put my tuxedo on my chair and sit on it while closing in my eyes I was not in the mood to talk to anyone this time. I was remembering those words which I said to Anabi I don't know why I behave like this way. It was not my nature. I behave very politely to everyone be it my employees or anyone. But why I behave like that to her maybe it was my frustration. Now I was really feeling guilty. 

I was indulge in my thought that someone knocked on my cabin's door.

"Not now" I replied as I was not really in the mood to talk to anyone. 

But the person who came was really stubborn that he open my door and came and without seeing him I knew very well that he was none other than Altaf my best advisor and my one and only friend 

Removing my hand from my eyes I gave him what are you doing here look. 

"Seriously Naved you forgot I didn't accept it from you" He said 

"What is the matter Tell me clearly". I said in a irritating tone. 

"We have only two days for finalizing the deal and here you are taking a nap, why you don't remember we have a meeting in half an hour". He said in anger 

"Sorry sorry, inform everyone about the meeting" 

"I already did, you are the only one who don't know about it" 

"Ok ok stop taunting first tell me Who is Anabiya?" I asked him 

Listening that I felt change in his behaviour. He gulped his saliva and took the glass of water from my table and drank it in a sip.

    "She is our new finance manager" He stammers giving me this answer.

    I give him a suspicious look. "Are you sure?", I asked him

    "Why are you asking me this type of question when I met her only for once?" He answers this time confidently

    "Ok let's go for the meeting". I changed the topic and said that because I did not want to show that I feel a bit strange because of her.

    As soon as I reached the meeting hall, I saw that everyone was present but she was nowhere. And this was enough to make me angry. I do not know why I was getting angry at her as much as I was being drawn towards her and I was cursing myself after getting angry with that girl. I could not find her so I came out. I can say without any doubt that all the people sitting there must have been shocked to see me, but as if I did not care about them at all. This was the first time that I had come from any of my meetings like this. There was just one thought in my mind that even after Altaf said she was not there. Yesterday while giving her this job, I felt that she is very responsible. And today, her negligence, I feel angry, was probably due to her negligence. Or I wanted her to be in front of me. As I had not seen her again since morning. I reached her department and the scene which I witnessed shocked me. She was crying like hell. Her sobbing was echoing in her cabin. Her face was hidden from her hands. But I don't know why she was crying liking this. Her sobbing voice was hurting me don't know why but it felt like if she didn't wipe her tears now, then I will surely start crying too.

     I take the steps towards her and bend down near her chair. Without any second thought, I hold her hand and free her face from it. A second shock was waiting for me. Her beautiful face was full of tears. And it was giving me pain. A pain which I never felt before it.

    " What happened to you? Why are you crying like this?" I asked him in a worried tone but she didn't give me any answer. She was only seeing me without blinking her eyes. And here I was impatiently waiting to know the reason behind those precious tears.

    Anabiya POV

  From the day when I met him again. I was unable to understand his behaviour. Sometimes he behaves that I am not his an ordinary employee I meant a lot to him. And sometimes he behaves like a stranger to me. But in reality, the truth is we are no strangers. Yes, indeed, I don't want to meet him again but when destiny plays his game. We don't need to meet like strangers. It is really hurting me. Moreover, he was asking Altaf that who am I? He didn't know who am I? how it is possible? When Altaf told me about the meeting I didn't know the agenda of the meeting. So I thought to ask him. So I followed him. But he entered his cabin. And the morning meet with him made me angrier towards him. So I thought to back out. But when I turned I heard my name and this thing made me stop and I heard their whole conversation. And that thing broke me again I ran towards my cabin and fully forget about the meeting and now he was here for knowing the reason for my tears. I want I can say that the reason is you. Not only of these tears but also for those tears which you gave me two years back. But I did not say anything to him and rushed towards the attached washroom. I washed my face and see myself in the mirror. Why  I was crying why I forget my target to be here no I can not be so weak in front of him. I wipe my face and came out of the washroom.

   When I came I saw he was still there and was roaming here and there?

    "What are you doing here, are you not late for meeting?" I professionally asked him.

    "Forget about it first sit here." He hold my hand and made me sit on my chair and he kneeled before me. I recall that moment when he proposed to me in front of the whole batch. I again start remembering that time and this thing will surely make me cry again so I shrugged off my thoughts and pushed my hand from his.

    "It's time for the meeting let's go" I avoid eye contact with him but now I understand it would be very hard for me to work in this company but it is really necessary for me I can't forget it.

    "No first of all tell me why were you crying like that".  He asked me in a very concerned manner and I saw him in disbelief.

    And at the same moment my mobile rings it was from Mumma but I was locked as he was in front of me so I was unable to move so he picked up my call and put it on speaker.

    "Oh, my stupid child you did not do your breakfast and forget your lunch too how careless you are. "

    He was smiling after listening to this statement seeing that I made a puppy face and tried to snatch my mobile phone. But he lifts his hand. My Mumma was still taunting me on different things and suddenly she said

    "Listen if anyone is being rude to you don't cry what your father said, remember " on this statement he looks at me.

  I understand the situation

    "Mumma don't worry I am not a kiddo please I have to do a lot of work bye please cut the call and if you are worried about my lunch so don't worry about it we have a canteen now bye."

    "Ok ok bye" saying that she cuts the call and I take a breath of relief.

    I was just about to say something suddenly I heard

    "Sorry" he was saying sorry to me but for all the chaos which he had done in my life or for all the tears I was unable to understand and was looking at him without blinking my eyes.
