Today alex is going on business trip, he can't be with her for next few days. He packed his things and went to meet ana before his trip. They met at Ana's restaurant, alex said her to take care of herself and don't take risks. Always keep in contact with others. He kissed her at last and left from there.
In business trip alex was very busy, even though he had a little time to rest, he always makes time for ana. They talk in few words but it was an assurance for both of them were safe.
Three days later, at night Ana went to her flat and saw Sanj and Jen waiting for her. She was shocked by their sudden visit. Ana invited them and went to fresh up. In bed room she collects all his things and hide it in cupboard. " Thank god I had already clean house and arrange his things." Ana murmurs to herself.
Fiona cannot join now ; they chat for some time. Sanj and jen share their marriage life with her and asked when she will marry. Ana was shy hearing their words. " Ana, you have to stop working and search for hubby. In our group you and alex are still single." Sanj questioning ana. " About Alex, never expect it from him. He will never have a girlfriend in his life, he always thinks that all girls are coming for his money or fame," Jen explained seeing ana's expression " But I think now he has some one he likes. I hear from David that last few days he behaves differently."
" What difference ?" Sanj enquired excitedly seeing ana's reaction. " He was smiling more these days, messaging between meetings and going home early." Hearing these ana's face blush, she covers it with her hands, Sanj asked teasing ana indirectly " Really, Ana you are the only one single now."
" See he also had a girlfriend what about you? You have to tell me today did you have any boyfriends or any person you like, we will help you to chase him" Sanj and jen are trying to help her. "Ana, tell me there are anyone you like." Jen asked , Ana nod her head in no.
" If you don't have anyone then I will arrange blind date for you." Jen suggested. " I know many boys around me, tell me How should he be? What qualities he must have?" Jen pointed to her and Sanj said " On your taste we will choose boyfriend for you."
Both are forcing ana to tell but ana replied " No, I don't have that doesn't mean I will go on blind dates." " I want some time guys. Please ..." Ana pleaded with an pleasing face. " When I am ready for dating, I will first inform you." After chatting Sanj left but jen was with ana that night.
Next day ana calls alex continuously, he did not call her yesterday. she was afraid something bad may happen to him. it was noon she called alex but he did not lift the call. She called ben, " hello Ms. Khanna"
" Ben, do you know where alex is? " Ana asked ben in worry tone. " Ms. Sir is in meeting." Ben replied politely . " ok" ana said and suggested ben " Is he busy recently? He did not reply to my calls. Let him take some rest, don't allow him to work hard"
" Ms. Actually sir returned yesterday night. I dropped him at your place last night but he calls me back to pick him up after sometime." Ben replied hesitating and said " Sir had completed one week work in three days and returned night to meet you. Sir... did not have anything yesterday and wait for you late night." " Seeing your friends did not leave , he left and morning he attended meeting. He was in bad mood today,"
" Can you ask sir to have lunch? I am worried if he works like this, it will affect his health." Ben ask hep form ana.
Alex office:
Alex came to his office after the meeting, he was pressing his forehead with fingers due to fatigue. Ms. Brenna knock the door and entered after hearing " Come in". She asked " Mr. King, can we have lunch?" Alex rejected her without giving her any chance to act here.
Brenna leaves the office room with rejected face and walk towards elevator. She used to be in this floor working along with alex, after his birthday he changed her to down floor. It was hard to meet him like before, she hears lot of rumors about his behavior recently.
She planned to get his attention but he was even ruder than before. while she complaining elevator door opens and ana entered with a bag.
Seeing ana with a happy smile, Brenna did not like it. Brenna thinks ana and alex were completed. After last time she did not see ana so she thought they were over.
Ana did not greet her, directly went to Charles. Charles nodded and signed that alex was in office . Brenna was waiting for ana to comes out sad but she did not see ana comes out. With disappointment she left from there.
When ana entered she did not knock the door, so alex did not know that ana was here. She slowly walks towards the table, smelling the known perfume alex opened his eyes and saw ana.
Alex turns his head away from her and start typing on the keyboard " Why are you here?" Alex questioned her without interest .
" To meet my returned Boyfriend" Ana replied casually carrying her bag .
"Do you know that you have a Boyfriend?" Alex questioned in a sarcasm manner.
Ana pointed him and says " I remember, that's why I am here to refresh him."
"You are wrong , I hear that you don't have boyfriend and also you agreed to go on blind date." Alex replied stopped typing and griping his fist.
Ana was in daze for half minute and replied to divert topic " it was bad to eavesdrop on others chatting."
" I am not, You guys did not close the door properly, I can hear it without overhearing it. If it was audible, it was not my mistake" Alex said typing on the keyboard fiercely.
Ana was trying to coax after knowing that he hears their conversation. " I did not mean to say it alex, they asked suddenly I don't know how to reply so I denied it." Ana explained herself to him. Alex was typing seeing the desktop like Ana was not here.
Ana went to sofa, arranged the lunch and called alex. Alex neglects her and doing his work, Ana was thinking how to move him. Ana slowly walks towards alex with an innocent face and bend near his place until he can see her. She pulled alex coat hem and asked " Alex, I am hungry, please accompany to eat lunch with me." Alex was half melted.
But his personality did not accept to her request." I had not eaten anything from yesterday, when I learn you return, I came here to eat with you alex. You should not disappoint your girlfriend." Alex stops his typing, Ana takes this as a chance, she stood up and pulled alex from chair and dragged him towards sofa.
Ana serves the food and alex watching her, he thinks " my life looks more lively and exciting than before." Ana took spoon full of food and kept at his lips. She gave sign him to open his mouth, he was in daze seeing her lips and open his mouth.
After feeding him two spoons, alex hold ana hand and feed the next spoon to her. both had completed the lunch silently. Alex asked the question that " You are ready to go on blind date" " No , I ask them to give me some time. By that time, we can reveal our relationship." Ana replied without hesitation.
"that's good." Alex nodded and asked next bothering question " why didn't you eat anything?"
Ana thinks for seconds and said " because of you." " Me?" alex asked in puzzled manner. " You didn't lift my calls ; I am worried something may happen to you."
" You worried about me." Alex asked moving close to her. Ana turns her head away. Ana curse herself why she said that cause. She can say she was busy, alex asked poking at her" I think it was your first time to care about me?"
Ana replied like she was blamed " It was second time" Alex was thinking while ana explained " When we were in forest, you faint on the way. I can never forget that night, it was fearsome." She can feel the goosebumps remembering that night " That night you are unconscious, your shirt was full of blood. I was afraid something may happen to you; you did not even take medicines. I feed you those medicines, till morning I don't know how I managed."
Ana turns around and hold alex hands and requested him " Alex, you should never throw yourself in danger, if anything happens you should inform others. Don't keep it for yourself".
Alex has a smile; his face was glowing like sun" why are you laughing?" Ana scolded him. Alex pulled ana , they are so close " I am glad that you worry about me." He pulled her close and gave a deep kiss.
Alex picks her up kissing ana, he went to attached bed room. He makes her sit on the bed, " I miss you ana." alex said kissing her.
Ana stops alex when she felt hard to breathe, Alex stopped before he loses his control. Alex put head on ana lap and asked her to give massage , ana give him a massage until he slept and later she put alex head on pillow and covered him with blanket.
At evening alex wake up, ben did not disturb him. He managed the meeting because he knows alex was with ana. It was better to him ; he need not face the furious alex.
Next Day alex said before leaving " Ana, be home by 6:00". Both completes their day and return home early. When ana entered home, she didn't find alex , she saw red saree packed along with a card "I am waiting for you. Be ready ". Ana don't know where she was going now, but she trusts alex and went to fresh up.
Alex was waiting in the hall, when he saw ana dressed in saree with loose hair flying in the direction of air with a fragrance . She looks gorgeous with no makeup, no one can take away eye from her. meanwhile ana was admiring Alex in herself "He was in black Suit as handsome as before" ; they both walk together side by side look like a perfect match. But bad luck there is no one to praise them.
Alex did not like her to be watch, so he took her to his restaurant. He passed key to park the car and entered restaurant. Ana maintains her distance but alex pulled her close, walking in hand in hands. Ana observes surroundings but no one is there , ana asked in confusion " Alex , this is your restaurant" Alex nodded.
" Why it was empty ?" Ana questioned thinking; she hears it was one of the top restaurants with heavy customers and runs with high price. Why it was empty today. Alex answer call her back and stunned " I booked complete hotel today."
They walk towards elevator, Alex put hand behind ana waist and pulled her close to him. He told softly " Don't worry, No one will be here today." Ana was tensed with his touch on her bare waist. She had a blush on her face, she diverts her face from alex, but he can see through the mirrors. He was very satisfied with her shyness.
Alex took her to top floor; she saw a beautiful arrangement with flowers, candles and also soft music plays by side. Alex walks her to the decorated table; it was just beautiful. Ana was in daze asked " What is this?"
Alex drags the chair and let her sit first, he sat opposite to her. " It was our first date," " what ???" Ana asked with surprise look. " Yes, if I inform you before you will never accept it. So, I want to give you a surprise." Alex explained seeing the surroundings and asked with an expectation to be praised " Do you like it?"
Ana was silent, alex can see the surprise look on her face and she like it. Now her face glows , surroundings are romantic. It was at the top floor there was no moon in sky, it was covered by dark clouds and down was small lights of buildings and vehicles looks like small objects.
Workers arranged the food on the table and left the couple to enjoy the dinner. Lights were off suddenly , before ana afraid, alex light the matchstick and stood up slowly. He stood beside table, lighten the candles one by one . Ana was fascinated by alex gesture, the more she looks , the more she like the view infront of her. the person infront now looks cool with a strong aura that attracts anyone to him. This side of alex nearly get the heart of her.
Now the dining area was in a shade of candle light, flower fragrance, slow music. Alex asked again " How is it?" "It's amazing, no words to define my happiness" Ana said with a 100-watt smile on her face.
Alex serves the food to her, Ana said she will do it, he did not allow her to serve. The dinner went on silently , no one took the initiative to talk. Alex was waiting for her to start. Ana finally takes initiative to ask " We paly twenty questions. It will help us to know more about each other."
