“What why you all are looking at me like this”
“Hercules Sim has been knocking on the door for the past 10 mins are you ok “said Peter Hercules looked at everyone and started going inside again.
“Why was she knocking “asked Hercules but everyone just looked at each other and just answered him?
“We are landing in 20mins where you want to go first “asked Mike.
“To the hotel and call Roman, I want to fresh up before we go somewhere “said Hercules in low tone like his sad about something but everyone was confused what his sad about. Mike looked at Hercules, he thought Hercules is thinking about Meenal that’s why his sad, but no one know that Hercules always think about her he never stops thinking about her.
“We will find her as well like your brother “said Mike and walked out but Hercules did say anything to anyone after that.
“Are you ok Hercules “said Kabir but Hercules just nodded his head in, yes?

“Finally, we’re done with this meeting but thank god the hotel gave as one of their conference room “said Rayan pretending his tired.
“Oh, please Ryan I booked this room so that we don’t have to traveller anywhere in the morning and just come to this room from your room “said Geet from behind with annoyed face.
“And who gave you that idea “said Pooja and Meenal just laughed on Geet. But suddenly Meenal started feeling something is about to go wrong. But she again ignored it.
“But its high time we think about our hospital like others because I thought the meeting is regarding the missing medication, but that topic never came up “said Meenal in sad tone.
“You know they don’t care about people and only profit “said Neil sitting next to Meenal.
“I’ll talk to dad about this “said Meenal and got up.
“You know dad is not the only board member everyone on the board of the hospital knows the problem, but no one will say anything because the hospital owner is unknown “said Pooja but Meenal just looked at her in sad way. Neil gave Meenal side hug and kissed her head.
“Aww I wish someone will kiss me like this “said Geet but Meenal just rolled her eyes at her.
“Do you want me to kiss you “said Rayan and everyone started laughing.
HAHAHAHAHA
“What “said Ryan in confused way but everyone ignored him?
“Anyway, Meenal we have 1 hour to kill before we go to airport so do you want to go shopping with us “said Pooja
“Who all going “said Meenal.
“Me, Geet, Ryan and Neil maybe “said Pooja and Meenal looked at Damien who was busying cleaning everything.
“Take Damien with you and don’t you dare say no to me Damien “said Meenal looking at Damien who is shocked at his place. Everyone laughs at his expression.
“Ok and what about you “said Neil I’ll go to me room and do the packing everything is mess over there and I’ll see you all at the airport trust me “said Meenal nodding at Pooja and Pooja just smiled at her.
“Ok but take care of yourself “said Pooja but suddenly Neil said from behind.
“I’ll stay with her”
“No, you go with them and come back in 45mins I’ll be done by then “said Meenal smiling but Neil felt weird leaving her alone, he thought Italy was ok but here Neil knows about Meenal’s past but he doesn’t know who was the person behind this.
“Go I’ll be fine “said Meenal pushing him out the door. Everyone left conference room and went on their way.
………………………………………………………………………..
“We’re here Hercules “said Kabir stretching his hand. Hercules got up from his place and walked towards the door and looked outside the plane where 2 cars are parked. Mike and Hercules got in first car and Kabir and Peter got in another car. They all reached hotel in 15 mins. Hercules with everyone walked inside the hotel and people started looking at them, girls are looking at Hercules more because they can see muscle through his white shirt and he looked very hot. Hercules got to the reception and looked at the men who was busy doing something on the computer. When he looked up, he saw Hercules and started shaking in fear.
“Sir how can I help you “said the person in shaking tone.
“Is Presidential suite available “said Mike standing beside Hercules? The person quickly checked the computer in front of him and started sweating. After looking at him Hercules know it’s unavailable.
“What “said Hercules little bit loudly?
“So..rrr.y S..i..r but the room will be ready soon because their checking out just now and room attendant is cleaning the room now “said the person in fear.
“Ok book the room for us and gave me a room just to change right now “said Hercules in hard tone.
“Yes, in suite is available “said the person and with shaking hands he gave Mike the key. When Hercules turned around to leave from there, he saw the gal with black and cherry red colour hair was talking to the receptionist showing him her back but her voice was like music to Hercules she was wearing a very light pink dress mid length of her leg with solid puff sleeve and sweetheart neck her one side sleeve was falling down so she quickly put it on place. Hercules didn’t know why but he was being pulled towards her. But when Kabir called him from behind, he came out from his daydream and started walking towards the lift. But he heard the gal saying.
“Ok I’ll go to the room and take my bags now thank you”
Ok Mama but you can leave you luggage in the room and the bell boy will send it to you where your car is parked “said Receptionist to her, Hercules can feel her smiling with full teeth and he felt weird about it but again he ignored the feeling.
“Ok I’ll grab my bags from him in the car park, but I’ll use the VIP lift again coz my car is in VIP park “said the gal and Receptionist just nodded her head.
“Hercules walked in the lift and saw her following in the same lift looking for something in the bag wearing mask on her face which you can see her eyes but not her nose or mouth. Hercules smiled at her but she’s busy looking for something in her handbag suddenly Hercules felt like he knows her and those eyes from somewhere. She stood in front of him with her back showing her smell and her high is somewhere like Meenal, but he didn’t know if she was her or not. But he ignored that thinking and started looking at his phone he thought her been here will be easy for him to catch her, so she is not Meenal.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
“I did my packing tired the mess and now leaving the presidential suite it was nice being in here, but we have to go because we were here for only one day and I can’t be seen in public too much. When I was walking towards the lift, I felt weird in my heart telling me to stay here little bit longer but I’m already getting late and Neil must be waiting for me at the car park and I have to return the room key as well so I walked fast and push the button for the lift and waiting for 10s before lift opens. I walked in the lift and looked outside the glass wall and saw everyone moving here and there I put my mask on and looked at the reception through the glass wall and saw four men standing with their back facing me. I looked down to see my watch and looked up again and saw 2 men talking to ladies and 2 busy with the men and then I saw the gal behind the counter I waited for the lift door to open and walked quickly to the gal as I’m already late.
“Hi, I’m here to return the key for the room “said Meenal to her.
“Oh, mama you don’t have to come here you could have left the key on the coffee table in the room you are our VIP guest “said the receptionist and started doing something on the computer but I just smiled at her.
“If your done, can I go and grab my bags I’m running late please “said Meenal but the receptionist said bell boy can help her with that and then Meenal told her that she will use the VIP to level 2 as her car is there and receptionist was cool with it.
“Meenal turned around and started walking towards the VIP lift while looking for her phone in the bag, she entered the lift and turned around pressing button number 2 Meenal know the men’s she saw at the reception are standing behind her but Meenal didn’t pay any attention to them and again started looking for her phone, when her level came she took one step out and suddenly her hand bag dropped on the ground and she quickly started pick her things up without looking up where everyone is looking at her expect for Hercules who’s busy with his phone.
“I’m so sorry for holding you guys like this “said Meenal in her sweet kind tone and listening to her voice Hercules felt like ground slip under his feet. Kabir put his hand on Mike’s shoulder and Mike looked at him but they can’t look at the gal face, so they just stood there and not move.
“Meenal grabbed her stuff and walked out the lift and stood in front of the lift still wearing mask and still didn’t look up, she found her phone ring and went to answer but when the door was closing she pulled her mask out and said “Hello” on the phone but when everyone in the lift saw her ground slipped from under they feet and Mike held Hercules shoulder to bring him out from shock.
“Hercules your Meenal is in front of you “said Mike in low told but suddenly lift started moving and Hercules quickly moved forward and put his both hand on the door and pushed button to stop the lift but it was too late because the lift started moving so he punched the door hard BANG Meenal jumped on her spot where she was standing and looked up and her night mare is staring at her with fist on the door and different emotion in his eyes face fully red and teary eyes. She put her hand over her mouth in shock and look at the only person she has being running from is here in front of her.
“Hercules”
