Chapter 5

Emily was staring at stairs when a man walked inside the villa with some documents in his hand. When he saw Emily, he smiled and said, “Good morning ma’am. I’m Liam Johnson, if you need anything you can say to me. Thank you, now I would like to take my leave. Have a good day.”

“Have a great day and my name is Emily. Please call me Emily, thank you.”, Emily said in a low and turned to leave the hall but she was stopped by Liam voice, “Ma’am I know your name, sorry but I can’t call you by your name.”, he said and went upstairs. Emily sighed and went back to the room.  

Liam went to the study room where he saw his master sitting on the chair and thinking about something or someone. He said in a low voice, “Are you thinking about her?” “Oh, you are here, did you bring the documents?”, said the man. “Yes sir I came here to give you some papers”, Liam said.  “You know, you can call me by my name when we aren’t in office or with any work related stuffs. After all you are my best friend Liam”, the man said. 

“Yes boss, hahaha. Keep dreaming about her. I will leave now.” He said and went near the door when he heard the voice, “Where is Emily?”, “In your room”, Liam said with a smile in his face and went out of the study room.  

The man went back to his day dreaming about something or someone. He started to talk to himself. ‘I still remember the day when I saw you first time. In a dark forest you were like a small light to me and on my life, which grew bigger with time.

Three years ago when I saw you on that plane I lost all the pain which was there in my heart. I felt happy again when I saw you smiling. You had the most beautiful smile in this world. That smile took my heart away from me.

You had my heart for three years and you even don't know. India is the place I loved the most and it caused a lot of pain in my heart. It gave me pain like hell to think about India and again you made me love this place. How thankful I'm to you, Emily. I can't thank you enough.

I was 13 when I lost my parents. They came to India to visit their hometown whereas I was in America. They had a car accident in which I lost them. After their death, I took over my dad's company and made him proud of me.

 I was 18 years old when I came to see my parents. I didn't want to be alone so I came on a plane full of people and I saw you there, you were laughing. I was amazed by listening to your laugh so I turned and saw the most beautiful girl. You were breathtaking in that traditional dress. I wanted to make you mine and as I was planning to make you mine, I lost you.

Someone came and took you away from me. Abhay Mehra, you took her away from me and made her cry and beg for you. She didn't even think and was ready to die for you. She was afraid to lose her love whereas the love she was afraid of losing wasn't yours but mine.

In these six months, you all made her life living hell and now it's your turn. I will make you all regret for hurting her. Each one of you will regret it. Mehra's and Roy's will regret it.’

The man was still thinking when the door suddenly opened. Emily was standing outside the room. She said in a low voice, "Why do you want to marry me?" The man thought 'she is so cute and beautiful.' The man said in a low voice, "Why can't I marry you or you don't want to marry me, Emily. I want to marry you because you are beautiful and you are a nice girl. aren’t you?" Emily blushed when she heard him.  

He noticed her blush and had satisfaction in his heart, 'she is mine and I'm hers.' He saw her standing there with some doubts, he said, "Come inside and have a seat and you can ask me anything you want or any doubt you want to clear." Emily nodded and went inside and sat on the sofa.

She asked in a low voice, "Umm I wanted to know your name. What is your name?" He smiled at her question and replied, "Ethan Singh."
