"Hello there, Stef. How are you son? How's your day going? Have you forgotten about your old dad since you now have a new friend in your list?" Mr. William attacked his son with questions as soon as Stefen entered carrying a black file in his hand.

"Come on dad get to the point. Why did you call me?"

"Okay since you asked for it, do you like her?"

Stefen was shocked hearing those words out of his mouth. He knew his dad was a very head- on person, but this was seriously too direct to handle.

"What? What are you saying dad?"

"Didn't you want me to get straight to the point? And I'm not saying son, I'm asking you. Do you like her?"

"Who?" he himself knew the answer to it, but he couldn't just give in.

"You know who? Don't act innocent, I know you better than you think I do. You don't let any girls be too close to you forget about them touching your face and you being their personal chauffeur. Now speak up."

Stefen sighed in surrender. "I don't know dad, I don't know. All I can say is I'm happy around her, I'm happy seeing her after all these years and I'm happy how she's still the same. I'm happy that I got my friend back, I'm happy that....." before he could continue he saw his dad looking at him with a lot of question mark expressions. "What happened?"

"I'm happy that you are happy son but what exactly are you talking about? You've got a friend back?"

"Jasmine dad, she is Jasmine."

His eyes widened in shock and his lips stretched to a smile.

"What, Jasmine? You mean Mr. Tyler's daughter Jasmine?"

"Yes dad it's her."

"Wow son that's... amazing. She must've been as happy as you are after meeting you."

He suddenly changed his happy expression to a hurtful one.

"No dad, she doesn't remember me. I guess I wasn't as important in her life as she was in mine."

"Oh son, don't think that way. You two were too small back then and..."

Mr. William took a pause as if he was debating with himself on whether he should continue the sentence or not.

"...And it's natural for her to not remember you after all it has been more than a decade since you both separated. But look towards the bright side, now you both are back to being friends. Do well to her and make her remember this moment. Forget about the past son. It's TODAY that matters the most," he said patting Stefen's back.

Stefen nodded. "You're right dad. I don't want to spoil this moment by thinking of what happened in the past. Thanks dad, you are indeed the best."

"I already know that son, say something new."

Stefen chuckled hearing him. He loves how he's so chilled about almost everything in life. But he also knows that after all these years his dad still misses his mom, and he is somewhere empty but he just won't let anyone see that.

"Dad, by the way I have to talk about something else as well, something more serious."

"Go on."

"Dad you were wrong, Kevin isn't someone we should trust. He's been betraying us. The thing he said about customers bargaining was all wrong. He's been hiding the profits dad. He is a FRAUD. You shouldn't trust him anymore... Here, I've prepared these reports, please go through it and take a decision as soon as possible," saying that, he gave his dad the black file where he had kept the reports that he'd prepared the night before. 

The day felt long as usual and finally after hours of wishing, it was lunch-time.

Jack and Stefen came to Accounts' department to pick Jazz and Alice and they all went to the canteen together. Today was not that bad since Jazz actually got the food she desired and Stefen didn't have to sacrifice his food for her.

After getting the food of their choice, they chose a table in a corner of the canteen hall. Stefen sat beside Jasmine leaving Jack standing.

"Seriously buddy, you're leaving me to sit beside Alice and eat... again?" Jack said keeping his food on the table looking at Alice who quietly sat down ignoring Jack and even started eating.

"Don't act like a child J. Just sit down and eat. You are making Alice feel bad."

"What, I am the one making Alice feel bad?" He said boomingly. "It's SHE who always makes ME feel bad."

Stefen ignored Jack and started eating as well..

"Hello, is there anyone who can actually hear what this handsome guy is saying?" Jack said being frustrated.

"Chill Jack don't get angry, come I will switch the place with you," Jasmine said to which Jack replied with a wide smile and carried his food to the other side and took her seat.

Stefen was somehow disappointed by Jasmine's move but he couldn't say anything. He was afraid to tell them the reason for his disappointment. Hence, he chose to remain silent.

They all talked as they were having their lunch. To be precise, Jack did most of the talking while the others ate ignoring him.

Lunch-time was soon over and they all left the canteen in unison. As they were about to part their ways and go to their respective departments, Stefen held Jazz's wrist gesturing her to wait and let Alice and Jack go first.

After it was only them standing behind Stefen spoke, "could you not do that again, please," he said with a tone mixed with seriousness and sad emotions.

"Not do what? What are you saying?" Jazz said as she had no idea what he was talking about.

"Not switch place with Jack... or anyone and... just sit beside me."

  • The Love We Found   Chapter 99 (YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN)

    Hey Jack, You are reading this letter, meaning I am not around you anymore. It’s funny when you come to think of it, we have been living under the same roof for so long but when it came to leaving, I don’t have the guts to face you and say my final goodbye. So I am writing you a letter, a letter that represents my cowardice. Thank you for giving me your friendship and the care that came along. I never realized that I had grown used to your care until now. You remember that night on the balcony you asked me ‘How you were portrayed in my eyes.’ I would like to answer that again, You Jack, you are the most annoying and stubborn person I have ever seen in my entire life. You seriously tore all our hard works into pieces without thinking deep just because you did not want me to leave. You bunk working hours and somehow always catch Sandra’s attention. You ranked 1st when it came to getting on my nerves in the initial days at the office. But… you were also the one who stood with a handke

  • The Love We Found   Chapter 98 (Respect and Love)

    “It feels weird to be in this room and not see Alice,” all the memories with Alice flushed back the minute they stepped in the bedroom. “I miss her too,” Stefen said. “Come,” he pulled her in and closed the door behind. Jasmine’s sadness turned into nervousness the moment she heard their bedroom door shut. She was starting to have second thoughts on letting Stefen stay with her for the night. Stefen left the hold of her hand and went to lay on the bed. He stretched his one arm on the other side of the bed, a bit lower from the pillow and titled his head, asking her to come and sleep beside him. She was happy to see him not in rush for anything and the respect he gave her and their relationship. She walked on the other side of the bed and laid on top of his hand as he caressed her hair and then embraced her back. She also hugged him tight as she rested her head near his chest, feeling his heart beat. He kissed her forehead and pulled her closer to him, “good night my princess, swee

  • The Love We Found   Chapter 97 (In search of Happiness)

    “Are you sure about this?” Stefen said as he kept both his hands on both side of his pants pocket… helpless. “Yeah,” Alice said as she was almost done packing. She had reached Jack's apartment before anyone else and she had changed into her comfortable clothes as she started packing all her things up. “When will you be back? You will be right?” Jasmine asked standing beside Stefen, equally helpless. “I don’t know,” Alice gave a false smile. “Can we do anything to make you stay?” Stefen asked. “I HAVE TO GO. The plane ticket is expensive you know…” Alice laughed, completely failing to prove that she was fine with all this. “But I thought you were staying. you said you’d throw away the ticket,” Jasmine asked befuddled. “Well then, it’s good I didn’t, right?” She forced smile again. “Can I ask you for a last favor? Can you drop me to the airport?” Alice asked Stefen. “That's not gonna be a problem but... let’s just wait for some time. Jack must be on his way. Let me call him-” S

    Jack looked at Alice hearing her as he narrowed his eyebrows, questioning her what she meant. “You don’t have anything to worry about,” Alice looked back at Jack with tears threating to fall down anytime. “Because we are not together… and we will never be together,” tears rolled down her cheek as she said those words. But she immediately wiped her tears and smiled. She gave one last glance to Jack and she walked away without another word. “Alice?” Jasmine followed her. Jack stood still, processing what Alice said. Just few hours back Alice promised to be by his side despite any hurdles and now she was contradicting her own words. Realizing that he can’t let her go he walked forward to go after her but he was held back by Alison. “Where are you going?” she questioned him. “Don’t tell me you are going after her after hearing all the things I’ve just said,” she was exasperated. Seeing that he was being the extra in the conversation Stefen approached Jack and tapped his back, “I’ll g

    Alice reached the top floor and when she went to the roof no one was there. “Ha,” she gave a short sarcastic laugh. “Another prank-” But before she could say anything more, she was pushed from behind and she fell on her knees and hands. The slit dress contributed in bruising her knees. She turned around to see the person and was out of words at the sight. Alison stood tall in front of her with a cunning smile. “Hello there! Are you hurt?” sarcasm was evident in her voice. “What the- it was you all along?” Alice said slowly getting back on her feet, dusting her hands, suppressing the pain her new bruises gave her. She was shocked. “Surprise,” Alison moved her hands from her head to toe presenting herself. “Do you like my surprise?” “There,” Stefen pointed at a TV. “There’s Alice.” “She's on the rooftop," Jasmine exclaimed. "Let's go." "Okay, I will call Jack and tell him to be there," Jasmine picked her phone and dialed his number. They rushed towards the elevator and pressed o

  • The Love We Found   Chapter 94 (Dance with me)

    “Okay everyone,” the host stood with a mic and grabbed all the attention with his voice audible from all the speakers from all the directions. “The most awaited time has finally arrived. Grab your partner and be ready, because today the sun will set only after witnessing 'A Beautiful Couple Dance'. So hurry up and ask for the permission to dance… LIGHTS,” the lights in the hall all went off and in the center blue and white lights glowed, making the air more calm and peaceful. Couples started coming forward and dancing along the music, under the blue and white light in a slow and romantic tune. The lights gave a winter vibe and the dance between two hearts warmth the place. “Can I have the honor?” Stefen opened his hand. “It would be mine,” Jasmine placed her hand on top and they walked towards the dancing area. “Will you dance with me?” Jack asked… unsure. “I don’t know, I am a terrible dancer,” she wasn’t lying. “Then that makes the two of us.” Alice chuckled and accepted his h
