' Then his heart, now broken into a thousand pieces, slowly began to turn to ice '

- Morgan Rhodes, Falling Kingdoms

A girl in her mid 25's was seen walking towards a black sleek BMW M5 . She was panting and cursing under her breath walking towards her car . She settled herself in the driver seat and impatiently waited there tapping her steering .

A man in his 25's came running and settled himself in the back seat of the shinning BMW M5 which waited for its passenger .

She looked through her rear view mirror and rolled her eyes huffing . "Do I bloody look like your personal Chauffeur or what ! Get your ass down here !" She seered at the man who flinched a bit .

He came and settled himself in the passenger seat . Now you all judge her for her words instantly but you don't know the turmoil she goes through now and the miseries she went through before .

After which seemed to be an eternity , but it's been only 15 minutes since the ride started , there was an awkward silence between them irking both .

He  decided to break the silence between them . Though he knows it's not perfect time to speak he decided to say the thing that's running in his mind .

"You changed a lot !" He said in a quiet tone . She started to laugh but in a pure cold way remembering her old self . Her cold tone made him flinch a bit .

"Thanks to someone who broke me beyond repair , into pieces " she said plainly . The sudden rush of adrenaline due to this statement made his heart beat faster than usual . He visibly sighed and contemplated everything .

His mind flashed him of the day which ended everything between them and his mind also reminded him that he was the one who ended it . He never regretted it back then , but now he regrets for it so bad .

She is one of important people in the field of hotel management companies and she is a Queen herself . She can do what she wishes now even by blinking her eyes .

Men swoon around her and try their best to make her fall in love . But she walks away from each of them . She was not the same person he loved back then . She was fragile and naive back then .

The girl driving the car now was not the same her , not the same girl who came running back to him even after whatever the heck he did . She came back running like a love sick puppy . She was not seen now , there is pure hatred in her eyes .

He now concluded that there is no love at all for him and he felt something unsettling , he couldn't take that . "Unmai ah vey nee elamey marantaya Jenni !" .

Those words brought the worst nightmares she was holding back . A second she flinched hearing that from him . "It's a bitter past I wish I didn't live Mr. Karthik " . She spoke her heart out in a single line .

They were college lovebirds and bestfrnds back then . But now it's not the same . After their breakup everything changed . He couldn't believe what he sees.  He still believes the naive Jenni is still there inside her .

After that conversation they didn't speak , he didn't dare to speak further and she didn't wanna talk at all . She is stuck with him now because of her friend and business partner , nobody knows that they were ex's. 

Flashback

Jenni entered the business party with her elegant black evening gown . This was a success meet after the merging of two big companies " Pegasus Management " of our Jenni and " Zephyr Group of companies " her friend and her now business partner Hari .

She entered like a Queen , completely elegant all eyes were fixed on her . Yes why wouldn't they be , a women in her 25's running hard to achieve more and also without help of any man .

And who proved that women can also achieve by standing there as the CEO of The Pegasus Management . Shining like a star she entered and casually greeted who ever greeted her .

She reached Hari and cleared her throat .

Hari : Wow ! Someone has finally decided to show up it seems .

Jenni : Yes Mr. Hari why wouldn't I , after all it's my friend's party right . Chuckling a bit .

Hari : Ohhhh Mam stop there , it's Ms. Jenni's party . He said grinning

Jenni : Okay enough with your fun (rolling her eyes )  where is Aishu !

Aishu , Aishwarya wife of Mr. Hari is so dear to Jenni , she is one of the trustworthy person in her life .

Hari : Ipa thana vantha athukullava she is upstairs vanthuduva Oru two minutes la .

Jenni smiled and nodded her head and both proceeded to greet the others who came to grace the party .

She felt happy after longtime . It's one of her achievement now , Zephyr Group of companies is such a brand in the field and every other group there is striving to have connection with them . But now Pegasus bagged the opportunity well and is now on another level .

She just maintained a smile to everyone and just went and sat on the bar counter and ordered a coke . She is not a party person at all .

She settled herself there and suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder . She turned around and found Aishu there looking elegant in her purple deep neck evening gown .

She hugged Aishu and Aishu congratulated Jenni for her achievement and after the greeting both settled themselves there .

"Epdiyo vanthuta Pola , nee varama poita Ena reason solrathunu nanum Hari uhm romba yosichitu irunthom d " Aishu said chuckling .

Jenni just rolled her eyes and shook her head smiling. "Just thought to show up at last time ana ivlo seekiram ah varuven nenaikala " Jenni said .

Aishu laughed knowing Jenni was not at all interested to stay here . Aishu decided to lift her mood by doing something . "Hey inum ethana naal thaniya suthuva , vaa intha party la yae namba unaku Nala payyan ah pakalam !" Aishu said , making Jenni choke on her coke .

"Heyyy loosa d nee ethana vaati soliruken intha idea va eduthutu enta varatha nu , if love soulmate lam true na avangala thedi varuvanga I really don't wish to run behind them at all !" Jenni literally shout whispered .

Aishu rolled her eyes and started to see who came and started to comment on their attires and the persons . Jenni didn't pay attention to any of those she was sipping her coke with her mind far away from the party arena .

Aishu nugged Jenni's arms , she came out of her trance and looked at Aishu like why the hell did you call me now . Aishu said that Hari is calling them there and pointed to Hari .

Hari was speaking to someone laughing and joking . Jenni wondered who was that , Aishu went ahead and started to talk animatedly with that man . Jenni thought that was someone close to Hari and Aishu .

Jenni placed her coke in bar table and started to go towards Hari . She cleared her throat as she came close to gain the attention of those who were there .

"Hey Jenni , vantaya vaa vaa meet my cousin " Hari said joyously but the other side Jenni stood frozen and was blinking her eyes to make sure she is seeing the right person .

That person still didn't see Jenni but when he heard Jenni he stood rooted in his place extending his hand for a handshake . Jenni came to senses and gave a very short handshake which made the man come out of his trance .

"Hi .... I'm Karthik " he said , yes it's Karthik as in Jenni's ex boyfriend . "Jenni" she said and nodded . There was an awkward silence and Hari wanted to ease the situation but he doesn't know what was the tension between Jenni and Karthik .

"Jenni unaku party lam set aagala teriyuthu nee pesama kelambu I'll handle the rest " he said and Jenni smiled at him for his kind gesture .

Just when she was about to leave , "Hey Jenni apdiyae Oru help pandraya plsss I know ithu unaku  theva illatha Vela thaan but enakaga !" Hari asked her . "Don't be formal Hari Ena nu solu I'll do it " Jenni said .

"Karthik ah drop panidraya , unoda veetuku pora vazhila thaan iruku Jenni , driver enga ponan terla and he has to leave immediately Pola neeyum kelambura athan ...." Hari asked , Jenni stood there as if a thunderstorm landed on her .

She gulped and agreed she can't afford to say that they were ex's so she reluctantly agreed . And the rest happened .

Present

After a hell of 30 minutes they reached the destination , Jenni stopped the car and Karthik came out of his trance and looked at her .

"Your stop Mr. Karthik " Jenni said with irritation . He nodded and got down . And he went inside , "Ivan lam epayum thiruntha matan" she muttered to herself and went to her home .
