"What in the world are you doing here?". She said gritting her teeth trying not to chop off his head

He grins a boyish grin, "Well, wherever you are I had to be there".

"No, you don't". She said crossing her hand over her chest

"Yes, I do". He said as a matter of fact, "Are you going to come with me or wait here all day for taxi?. Because as far as I know, the place you want to be in is quite far".

"I am not even going to ask how you know where I was going". She said angrily entering inside his brand new car rolling her eyes because it was her favourite

She switches on her mobile looking through the emails when she feels him sitting inside. She didn't realise in her anger that she had done something very wrong. She wasn't supposed to be near him and now she is just a few meters away from him which made her heart ready to explode at any given time. She feels the tingle going around in her body as she tries to calm herself down.

"ANABIA". She heard him scream jolting her in her seat

She places a hand over her chest to calm down her fast-beating heart, "What is wrong with you?".

"I have been talking for about 10 minutes now and you didn't listen to any of my words". He stated

"So what?. I never agreed to listen to you". She said shrugging going back to look at her mobile

"I said we will eat something first and then head to the long journey". He said turning the car to the location of the restaurant, "I know it's your favourite".

She ticked her jaw feeling the bubble of anger rising inside of her but she didn't want to lash out especially when there is food involved. She didn't even wait for him heading to the familiar restaurant she had once visited with him when she came here with him for his business trips.

She remembers that day clearly because she was bored for 3 days in that hotel room that belongs to him and decided to sneak out shutting down her phone. She found this place by accident after roaming around the country and loved it's  interior. Then she went to the restaurant to eat after she was done ordering a raging Usman walked inside the restaurant.

She remembers him shouting at her for being irresponsible and more in front of all the people while she cries in humiliation. He never apologised for his behaviour but expected her to be back to normal which she didn't actually do. She wasn't able to be normal after that. Now that she looks at everything there were signs everywhere and there is no way she wouldn't have known if she wasn't blinded in his love or so she thought.

These bits and pieces of things he had done to her had been a reason she was able to walk away. Because it was as she was preparing for this day with his constant thrash behaviour towards her. She didn't wish to enter this restaurant again. She wonders if people remember her face and if someone does remember her she will have to face the same humiliation again.

Instead, she looks around to find him looking at her with the agony she once felt when she was insulted in this place and she wonders if he had brought her here just to put salt on her wounds.

"I wanted to rectify my mistake". He said softly

"You think by doing this you can just simply wipe away everything you have done?". She asked raged

"No! I don't want to wipe away the past we had even if it wasn't as it should have been it was still beautiful". He said looking in her eyes and the pain he had caused, "At least to me it was beautiful. What I want is for us to make an even better future".

"A future you won't have with me". She said angrily marching inside the restaurant because she won't show him any of her weaknesses

As she enters inside the nostalgia hit her even stronger however she kept a straight face heading back to the table on the worker assigned her. She sits down without looking around lost in her own thoughts looking down at the menu that is familiar.

He enters inside right behind her after watching the way she hates the thought of them with her life. His heart shatters every time she says those words and the hurt in her eyes. He enters inside looking around to find her in the corner table with everyone eyes on her.

His hands clenched when he saw the waiter standing a little too close laughing for no bloody reason when she hardly said a single word to him. His eyes burned in fire glaring at the man marching towards him pushing him aside sitting right beside her startling both of them.

"What is wrong with you?". She hissed in his ear which only have him shiver when her lips lightly touched his neck losing his focus on glaring at the man in front of him

"Jaan, I was just parking my car that's why I am late. Did you order?". He asked kissing her cheeks and her eyes widen as she moves away but he held her hand tightly in his which earns him a sharp glare

"W-What would you like to order?". The waiter asked scared

"A new waiter". He snapped

The man immediately runs off somewhere while she looks at everything shocked out of her mind. She had never ever seen him this angry beside on her or his colleagues. But the way his body shook in fury and his eyes blaze in a fire had her cowering back too. But, she knows the anger wasn't directed to her this time. It was directed to the man but she doesn't know why he was this angry?.

Has he lost his mind in these 7 years?.

"I think you need a doctor". She said struggling to take her hand away from his hand

"No, I need you". He said smiling slightly as he places his free hand on the table with his head on it looking at her

She felt her heart skip a beat.

"Well, guess what?. You had me once and you lost your chance". She said narrowing her eyes at him

His smile fell.

He didn't say anything besides he kept looking at her and she squirmed in her seat trying to move away from his prying eyes. That's when the different waiter came to take their order and with ordering her meal she orders herself a large chocolate milkshake and that's when she heard a chuckle from him.

She turns to look at him who was looking at her with his eyes sparkling.

"You always loved Chocolate milkshake". He said smiling lightly

She shrugged, "Food makes me happier than people do. At least it never disappoints you".

"Unless it's not a good food". He said smirking

Oh, she remembers.

She had pleaded him to take her to this five-star hotel that everyone was sending good remarks online and she had been going crazy over the internet looking at the reviews and pictures of food.

The disappointment she felt when she had looked down at two pieces of vegetable with a stroke of sauce on the side and in the middle lay a small piece of meat had crushed her heart into more pieces than the food had. The prices were very high and in the end, they had taken McDonald's back home with his merciless teasing the whole way back.

"Whatever. That was my only worse decision after you". She said before she can see the hurt she caused him

She found the glass of chocolate milkshake coming her way. She squeals excitedly taking it out of the waitress hand started drinking it enjoying the exceptional taste. She looks back at the waitress passing her disgusting glances but she can care less.

She finds his eyes trained on her and she raises her eyebrows for him to shake his head continuing to look at her.

"Maybe you should stop you won't be able to eat". He suggested

"I can eat. Thank you". She said as she finishes the glass ordering another

He shakes his head smiling as he found that rare satisfaction smile on her face as she remains thinking about the chocolate milkshake she just had. She had always been the food lover which is something that amazed him more because she never looked that way before. When they had met she was rather sophisticated or at least acted that way in front of everyone because if he managed to have her that easily.

She always had the fire in her which he had tried to take out but the more he did the more he was drawn to her. He continues to look at her even when the food came in because watching her was amazing. He hadn't done it before he never had time, no, that's a lie he never wanted to look at her before like this ever.

The more he looks at her now he realised just how much he had missed and maybe he might not ever get a chance at it.

He heard his phone ringing with a text message from Akbar.

You are an idiot. But, make sure you don't give up or I swear I will personally kill you. Don't even for a second think I will hesitate. Anyways, I need to leave to pick my princess and Queen. Be careful!

He smiles shaking his head he never thought Akbar was on his side. He had pleaded him years back and Akbar didn't help him slightly. He had thought about taking his share away from the TJC's tower but he didn't want to ruin all of their friendship although at that point he didn't care much about that and cared more to know about her.

Seven damn years.

As he continues to look at her he realises that she had changed and he played a vital role in it. She used to love wearing comfortable clothes even when she would be in public she never cared for appearance. Now she is primed and classy. Even though this new bossy looks and that confidence of knowing exactly what she deserves for her herself looks beautiful on her. She used to be timid acting like an adult and when he had come around here too often he cracked her down.

He regrets it.

As he remembers the time he shouldn't have done that. He shouldn't have lost himself in his own self. He would have lived with her longer and happier and he just had to destroy his own happiness by hurting an innocent in the harsh business world.

Why does he have to be an idiot?.

"Your food is cold". She stated looking at him after she was done eating

He shrugged, "I don't want to eat".

"We have a long ride". She said frowning because staying hungry wouldn't be good for him

"I like that sound". He said grinning as if he had won a lottery, "The sound of us".

"There is no us and it will be best if you understand that sooner". She said pushing him away walking to the washroom to clean herself

He sighs.

He cleared the check waiting for her when an old client met him and she started talking to him while his mind remains on her.

She walks out of the washroom looking around to not find him anywhere making her frown.

Maybe he left for good?.

That would be the best thing to ever happen in her life. She knows he had been watching her and she used to crave those small gestures. It was easy before for her to have her heart taken from her by small gestures. She hates that he still can take her heart from her.

She sighs.

She tucks a strand of her hair away deciding she needs to find a way to that place since he had left her like every time. She walks outside of the door immediately hearing the loud sounds and flashing of sharp lights making her hissing as she loses her balance falling backwards.

Maybe it's not her day today.
