Andrew POV
Today was very hectic for me but much more bustling for Naaya. She is working single handily on this project of Brown’s as I can’t involve more staff in this due to the confidentiality of the information. For the last one month she was on her toes and working days and night. I feel guilty when I see her working like this. I’ve struggled a lot in the past before Naaya’s existence in my life. I use to call her lady luck in my life but I know she’s the only women for me in this life, without her I’m no-one. I don’t think I will be able to exist without her. So, I decided for the time being I’m not going to take any newer assignments till wedding. This is enough for both of us. We need to spend some quality time, for the last one month it feels like I haven’t seen her properly. It feels like ages, we cuddle each other. Now I just want to go home with her and sleep the tiredness out. But to my much distress, I’ve to meet my baby sister Andra. We call her Annie as she is 5 years younger to be. She is returning today after completion of her 3rd semester final exams. Unfortunately, she could not make it to my engagement with Naaya due to her exams. But yesterday she called me told me about her arrival and surprise she is planning to give mom, dad and me of course. I know her very well and the way she changed in these few months, I’m sure her surprise is about some guy but who, that I don’t know. She was never be with any boy, as if I would have allowed. Anyways, me and Naaya waiting for her in the VIP lounge of ‘The Park’s’. I don’t know why she insisted to stay at hotel instead of home. I was not convinced about her ‘staying in hotel theory’ as a part of surprise, though it’s one of the high-end hotels with very strict security, but Annie used Naaya’s persuasion and I melted like a wax on fire. Everyone in my family knows what Naaya meant to me. They are happy for both of us and excited about our wedding. I can feel Naaya is having wedding jitters as the wedding day approaching.
Now it’s an hour Naaya and me waiting for Annie but much to my dismay she is not picking my calls and not even sent a single message about her whereabouts. I’m feeling guilty for Naaya, as and when I look at her face, her eyes are showing sheer tiredness. I could have met Annie alone and Naaya would have joined us tomorrow morning at breakfast. I can feel it she is getting impatient and about to bust on me, my phone ringed and flashed Annie calling. I received the call and barked on her “where the hell are you Annie, do you know for how many times I called you and for how long I’m waiting for you.” For she replied “Bo-Bo I’m shopping at Atlanta’s shopping mall, will be back in half an hour, please wait for me.” By now I’m flaring at Annie’s irresponsible behaviour, how can she be so childish. When you know that you promised your brother to meet at 7:00pm then how can you go out and that too for shopping, even when I told her about Naaya also. I can’t scold at her in front of Naaya so I walked to the exit gate and gestured Naaya that we are leaving and in very stern voice I told Annie that now she will only meet me and Naaya on our wedding day, for which she protested and started whining that, how I’ve changed after getting engaged with Naaya and now I doesn’t love her anymore, doesn’t care for her. She knows how to emotionally blackmail but I’m her brother. I’ll not let this time slip this, you can’t take everything and everyone for granted. So, I ignored whatever she was saying and disconnected the call.
We exited ‘The Park’s’ and start moving towards car parking area, when I felt Naaya was not following me, I turn around and it felt like breath stuck in my chest …….
