chapter 9

I came back to my senses when my driver bought car. Priyanka was still on call. She sat near me in the back seats of the car. I told my driver to drop Priyanka earlier. We reached her house while having some business talks. She went in and then we headed towards my house, not mine actually, at my parent's house. I went inside as my driver parked the car. I ringed the door bell. Maid opened the door. My mom asked from inside, "Who's it Annie?"She replied in loud voice, "Ashton Sir!"My mom came out after listening my name. Annie made me a way. I went in. My mom came and hugged me. I hugged her too. I felt her tears falling on my shoulder. She cried. Obviously she will. I came to this house after two years. I met my mom once. But my father never even asked about me.But it's okay. I'm going to show him one day that I did it. My mom relaxed herself and cupped my cheeks. "How are you child?" She said while crying.I tried to smile to calm her, "I'm very nice mom. I've brought many things for you. Won't you like to see it."She wiped her face and nodded in Yes. My driver came with two carry bags in his hand. I took them and kept it to my mom's hands. She made me sit on a sofa. She sat near me and we both started opening the stuffs inside carry bags. Some clothes, one grey tuxedo for dad, some sweets and branded couple watch for my mom and dad. She liked everything. She was smiling and at the same time tears were falling from her eyes. I knew that Dad is out for a business trip. At last mom ordered Annie to bring a glass of water and a cup of coffee for us. Annie went inside."So how's your business going, my son?""It's going fine mom. But I don't know why everyone still say that SUNBEAM FASHIONS can't grow without others. But I will grow it. I will turn it into the brand mom. " My voice became louder and felt confident. She replied, "Offcourse you will do it child. My all sons and daughter are talented. You all will make it. Just believe on yourself. And keep calling me." She said while kissing on my forehead. Annie brought coffee for us. We spent half an hour with each other in the house. Atlast it's time to go back."Okay Mom! I need to leave now." I felt sadness on her face while seeing this. But she tried to pull her lips, " Okay child! Be careful. And one more thing!""What mom?"" Eldest one has got married. And your sister also got married. "Desmond" ( my middle brother) also has girlfriend. You will turn 25 this year. You need to find some one now."I didn't expected this. "But mom?""No if's and but's. I want you to find your partner now."I smiled annoyingly, "Okay mom I will try."She smiled and kissed on my forehead. "I will leave now. Bye mom. And Annie please report me if she has any medical issues." I said while looking towards Annie. She smiled."Yeah sir. Take care of yourself." I smiled and left the place. I remember the whole house. I used to play with my siblings. And now it has turned that we don't even talk with each other. Sometimes I feel lonely over here. I think I need to find partner. Who can feel my heart. And live with me in all ups and downs. I directly reached my house. It's a two storey building. It's really big. But I live here alone. I ordered my driver to park the car and leave. I got fresh and then went to the kitchen. I made some instant noodles for me. And went to my study room. I read my incomplete novel and soon it was night. I don't have any maid in my house except for a cleaner aunty, she asked me for a job by herself, so she started to work in my house and she visits every alternate day in morning. As I don't want anyone to work for me. But I really need someone to accompany me. Not in household work but someone to share feelings with. Crying alone in this house is really unbearable. I closed my eyes for sometime. And went to have dinner. I enjoyed my dinner with Anime. I usually love to watch. I slept as always.___________________________♥️Aisha's POV It's evening and I'm dressed in casual blue jeans and black crop tshirt. I'm going for dinner with Sara. And obviously her manager. Soon we were at the venue. We saw Joseph sitting over there. We went to him. I sat on one of the chair. He was staring at me. " Okay.. Whatever you want you can order now." He said in his flirty tone.I nodded and took menu card near me. We ordered by our choice. He was still staring at me. I don't know why I'm here? Sara tried to comfort me by patting on my thighs. I ate food silently. Whenever he tried to ask anything Sara replied and I kept a faint smile. After the food he asked Sara to pay for bill so that he can find time with me. Sara reassured me by her eyes. He kept his hands on table and moved front to near me from the opposite side of me. " So how're you sweety?"" I'm fine Sir." I pulled corners of my lips hesitantly." I like to look at you continuously. You're really gorgeous." He glared at me. " Ohhh..." I stammered. I looked at the counter. Sara was coming back. I took a deep breath. And suddenly a girl came infront of me. She looked angry. She shouted, " Who are you?"I got confused. "What?""I said who are you? And what are you doing with my boyfriend?"I saw him. He was scared. Was he trying to cheat on her while approaching me? "Sorry! I'm not dating him." I answered.He tried to handle her by pulling her back."Darling! How can I date anyone else? I already have you. She's my employee's friend. We met for business purpose."Sara was shocked hearing that. She never knew that Joseph has girlfriend. Suddenly she smiled and assured her." Yes ma'am. We were here just to talk about my job. Nothing else ma'am. Don't misunderstood us." Sara said.The woman forgave him. And he walked out with that woman. I did a sigh in relief and we started to walk out. We jumped in car and Sara started to drive. "Was he cheating on her?" I asked."Yes, I think. But it's a good point. I can blackmail him now. Whenever I need." She laughed."Yeah." We reached the apartment. And I directly went to sleep. Next day I woke up with the noise from our hall. I heard Sara's voice. I opened the door. I saw Sara in very angry mood. She was burning by her eyes...____________________________________________Stay tuned 😉
