Robbed my life

1157 Words
Only a few minutes passed by, I was standing in the elevator with Anna, She was too engaged in talking about Moli, She didn’t even notice that I was not paying any interest. My thoughts were invaded by someone special, I can say, I was lost in my small world zoning in and out all the time. Anna was determined to help Moli but my attention was fixed to only one person. How can I listen to her when my heart is in trouble? How can I fulfil the promise I made to myself, without even trying to get him? I knew this will only damage me but he’s worth it. Worth trying, loving, waiting and even worth getting heartbreak for. Anna inquired about Moli’s life, I told her every detail till now, even about her crises and problematic circumstances. She told me that She had a plan which is a win-win for everyone. I was shocked, not sure what to say next? She assured me that I will not regret helping her. I gave in and asked about her plan. but most of all I was curious why she insisted to help? Mr Johnson was 20 minutes late and it was enough for her to involve me in her plan. She offers me two extra deals other than the official one, which I was not sure whether to accept or not. One will help Moli and the Second will Give me a permanent chance to settle down in Paris. I thought to myself that God is playing some kind of trick on me. When I wished for staying here in India, He created a lifetime opportunity for me but I am not prepared for it. Anna told me that she will involve her brother Steve in Moli’s matter for her benefits, which I don’t want, not only because of my selfish reason but I knew Moli too well, She will never consider anyone’s favours, not even mine. What shakes me from top to bottom was Anna’s high expectation from me to support her in creating a chance for Moli and Steve. Her words were not on point but the meaning behind them was loud and pretty clear. She wants Moli to be more than her Best friend. I was staring motionless at her as if someone robbed my life, my biggest happiness. What else I can do, She doesn’t know my feeling and she doesn't think that I am good enough for her brother. I was disappointed not in her but on myself. Why can’t I be more mature and kind just like Moli? Showing off my caring side and a cool temperament, I muster up the courage to tell her how I feel. I revised several times in my mind to tell her that I LIKE YOUR BROTHER, NOT ONLY LIKE BUT I AM MADLY IN LOVE WITH HIM, instead of it, I told her how will MOLI going to react about this plan and frankly I can't see her in more trouble again. Her suffering just because Anna wants her brother in Moli's life is not a good idea not for Moli and particularly not for me. Anna tried her best to get me on board with her plan stating every possible fact about her brother and I knew She’s right, but how can I say Yes? if I seek him only for myself? Awkward feeling flooding in my body, but I was not ready to accept any of it, I simply shrugged off with a stiff smile. She’s stubborn and I knew that she was not going to accept No for an answer. She will keep me in the loop for getting things done smoothly. Soon, Mr Johnson joined us in the conference hall, but Steve was missing. As per my knowledge and Anna's description, Steve worships his works, he never missed an opportunity in his entire business career to in cash, then what happened today? what was more important for him than this billion dollars meeting? My heart was pounding ready to come out of my mouth when I realised. “He was missing, since Moli left the party, What if he went after her?” I was praying to God that it must not be true, but this crushing sensation was indicating otherwise. First Steve’s interest in Moli, Second Moli’s attention on only one man Steve, Third Cupid Anna’s stubborn plan to get them together and Forth Steve missed almost missed entire meeting. Everything shows one thing. Oh! No No No... I was not in the mood to say a word anymore, but I did what I need to do, to show my fake interest in this meeting. Even when Steve was in the conference room, he was physically present but didn't notice what Mr Johnson told him. Steve doesn't even react or raise his head to look at Mr Johnson and left in embarrassment. Steve's involvement was somewhere else, Anna was openly talking about Moli and her Plans in front of him, He wouldn’t budge but from time to time, he was behaving like he was all ears and mind. Now I am more anxious and stressed, he was here but completely lost not even spare a single glance at me. I started imagining about him, about us but now it's stinging like a breakup. Maybe this is my Destiny??? I was completely in Steve zone when Anna snapped at me playfully, waiting for my answer. Finally, I gave in, to her request under one condition. After all, I want what is best for Moli but that doesn’t mean I will hand over Steve on a silver platter to her without any fight. I told her to wait until the result of the police investigation, if it's not what they waited for then I would help. I always wanted the best career opportunity but I also wished for love, so I decided to make a proper excuse to stay here and to make Anna stay here longer. She was also in favour to wait until things get normal in Moli's life that means I have both chances in my hands, to work from here with Anna, to be with Steve and win him. Our meeting was over, Anna and Steve left together. I was on my way home in the cab playing the entire day's events in my mind minutes by minutes. Worried about how hard and fast I fall in love with Steve. Thinking why our heart doesn’t warn us before falling for someone. My mind was working but only in the direction to come up with a better plan than Anna's to succeed in having Steve's heart. This day was unusual to me it holds a ton of sweet and sour memories. I felt new emotions, most of all I have new expectations from my life. I am willing to listen to my heart without any fear of consequences.
