*Anusha Pov* You can do this! I chanted in my head reaching the building and took a few minutes to step out of the cab.I know I am way too early, but I need this preparation time to finally face him. I still remember when he suddenly stood before me when I opened the door.It’s like I was acting as if nothing happened in my life from meeting him to leaving my parents to his home to the gunshot and mainly his accusations. But with his presence, everything burst right through into every thought in my head.Taking a deep breath, I entered the building and saw the receptionist arranging her things before looking at me.“Good morning, Maam! How was your holiday?” she asked smiling.“Good!” I replied, covering my shocked reaction with a cough, and continued to walk and reached the elevator.Finally, after reaching my cabin I took a deep but stilled when I saw the

*Anusha Pov* “That will be a problem for us.” Jay stated the moment I explained to them about the call I got this morning.“Why? It is a good opportunity for us to get a brand name directly from the top people.” I pointed out and he nodded smiling.“You are right! And I also know we have full capability to win it, but it will be a problem.” He repeated again before glancing at Satvik and then at me.“What will be the problem?” Yash asked with an irritated expression.“The competition is about making an advertisement in thoughts before presenting that to the judges and make them accept it. That can be done only by two people from the four of us. And those two people for sure can’t go together for this trip. Even if just one goes and takes either you or me, the chances of winning will reduce. And the people limit is just two people. So, tell me

*Anusha Pov* “No!” I whispered to myself sitting up on the bed realizing no matter what these thoughts will not leave my head.What happened to me yesterday? I asked myself for the millionth time but still don’t have an answer for it.I gave him my answer and he accepted it too, then why am I still thinking about it? I groaned picking out the phone from the bedside table.I need to talk to someone and I just have the right person for it who will not even judge me. However, when she didn’t even pick up, I placed the phone back in its place.What happened to Kirthi now? Is she already asleep this soon? I shook my head and leaned back to the bed hoping she will call me back.Somehow remembering I have work to do, I laid down and drifted off into sleep. But then the memories returned and I ended up ignoring them before letting sleep consume me even though partially.“Mom?”

*Anusha Pov* “Hello?” I asked in a sleepy voice and immediately sat up hearing mom’s voice.“Anusha! I need you to be here right now.” She demanded and I frowned glancing at the clock.“Mom! It’s just eight and I am still sleeping.” I mumbled and let out a yawn.“I don’t care whether it is Sunday or not, but somehow I want to see you within half an hour.” Saying that she hung up and I stared at the phone in shock.Today is the only day I can stay away from him and she wants me to come there and see him? I mean not specifically, but he will be there, right?Wait! What if he went to his parent’s house? With that question in mind, I got ready and reached near my parent’s place not within half an hour but definitely within an hour.I walked inside and went directly near the dining area as the maid suggested to see

*Satvik Pov* “How is it?” I asked, staring at her while she continued to drink the soup.“It’s nice! You made it?” she asked, looking up to which I smiled.“I don’t think it would have been a good thing to poison you with my food when you are ill. So, I asked Kirthi to make it and I just re-heated it.” I replied, shrugging while she stared at me surprised.“What?” I asked her frowning.“If I had asked that question before, your answer would have been simple no. But now…” she trailed off.“Are you complaining that I am talking too much?” I asked and took her bowl after she finished everything.“Until when will you stay here?” she asked changing the topic.“I think your Mom will not miss me that much if I stay three more days here.” I replied leaving the room.She is asking the s
