" Declan! " A knock on my office's door

" Come in "

" Dude you aren't getting ready? "

" For what? "

" Don't you remember it's Mr and Mrs  Henderson's wedding anniversary, you've got a special invite "

" What time is it? "

" It's at 8 "

" There's still an hour left, I'll be there you can go on first "

" Also.. "

" What? "

" Mr. Henderson made a special request! "

" What is it? " I raised an eyebrow

" You've to be his daughter's plus one for tonight "

" What bullshit, there's no way in hell I'm up for it "

" He personally came and begged for it "

" Ughh Fine " Mr Henderson was my professor in University and he is like a father to me, he has done so much for me, i couldn't bring myself to reject him ever

" You know his address pick her up by 8:30 "

" Fine " I dived my head back into computer

" Declan just go home now "

" I will in ten minutes, you can leave first "

" Be there on time pleaseee "

After about 15 mins I turned my computer off and left the office building

_________

The door to house opens, approaching the woman I once despised, but we came to some terms because of Mr Henderson. But i still can't handle her

" Hey Declan " She gave her most annoying smile

" Hey " as soon as she settled herself I started the car

We arrive at venue in 20 minutes and  whole time this woman was either flirting with me or irritating me

" Get out " i barked

" Huh? "

" I mean get out, I've to park my car first " she nodded and got out of car

After parking, i head to the gate hoping she has left but there she was standing

" Why are you waiting for me? "

" Dad told me to be with you the whole
time "

Fuck my life

We entered the venue and I tried to spot Mr Henderson

" Hello Mr Henderson "

" Hey son , how are you? " He engulfed me into his most warming hug

" Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs Henderson " I smiled at Mrs Henderson

" Thanks darling, please enjoy the party and Sara don't annoy him much okay? " Mrs Henderson spoke

" Mom, I'm not small child anymore "

She was arguing with her mom and i took it as opportunity to slip out of there and find Kenneth

" Thank God you're on time "

" I was forced to "

" Dude I got to know something "

" What? "

" She... " Before he could complete his words whole crowd starting hooting

And then she caught my attention

Complete Ban Of My Existence

The woman I've longed years to see

The only woman, I've looked for

The woman who left my life leaving a void in my heart

I noticed her walking towards us and I looked at Kenneth, he was waving at her

Right they are good friends

She hugged Kenneth

" It's been so long " Her voice

The same voice, in which she said her last words to me that has been haunting my dreams for last 4 years

" Yeah! I must say you've become way more gorgeous and successful "

" God's grace "

Her eyes met mine and i could see hurt and pain in her eyes

Eyes which were once and still are my peace place

She took a step towards my direction

" Mr. Branson " She forwarded her hand for handshake

Never I've felt being in this type of physical pain being a stranger to anyone

I took her small hand into mine and looked into her eyes

Wish I had a chance to explain everything to you back then and have made you stay with me even if it was just for a moment

Wish I was there to wipe your tears when you were mourning over your feelings' death

" Ms. K....Katz " She took her hand from my grip making me feel incomplete

Her eyes fell beside me

And i could see a tear forming in her eyes

I forgot Sara was standing beside me

" Hi Ms. Katz, I'm Declan's plus one "

" Ofcourse I remember you Sara " Right she was with me in University and she hated Sara

She looked between me and Sara, tears ready to fall from her heavenly eyes

And i shook my head

It's not what you're thinking Love!!!

" I... " Before I could complete my words, There was a hand on her waist drawing her closer to his chest

" I'm sorry Babe, I'm late, hope you didn't miss me much " My Jaw Clenched hard at his words

" Who are you Mr. ? " Kenneth asked him

" Oh I'm sorry, i forgot to introduce myself, Hi , I'm Dante Yearwood, Maya's husband "

NO WAY!!! HUSBAND!!!

You've lost her forever

I felt like i was stabbed in heart

I just couldn't take it, i excused myself to washroom

I was followed by Kenneth

" Ken...I... I've lost her forever " This was the first time I've shed tears since last 3 years

" Oh my god Declan " He hugged me tightly

And i couldn't help but cry in his embrace

" There's nothing I can do now "

" Least you can do now is tell her truth, she atleast deserves to know truth Dec... " I nodded at his words

Maybe then, i would be free from this burden of guilt

Maybe,,,,,,,

I would regain my life back, if she'll forgive me

Maybe___

What do you think? What truth is Declan is hiding from Maya? What relation did they had??

To be continued
