Lost Love

chapter 3

I am sitting in our private jet heading to New York. Thinking about the conversation I had with my brother and best friend at home.

I was sitting on a chair in dining room sipping my hot chocolate when Michael and sophie entered.

"Hey! Kiddo. Are you done with packing? "Michael asked.

"Yeah. It's all done. I replied in a sad tone".

"What happened? Why are you sounding so sad"? Soph asked me.

They always figure out my mood.

"It's nothing. I just don't know why I am feeling nervous to go back after these many years". To be honest I don't know what I  am feeling right now. I replied to her with a sad smile.

My family and sophie knows about my childhood friend. As I was very upset at starting in london my parents and brother noticed it and asked about it so I told them that I made a friend for a first time but I left him behind. They understood me and always supported me whenever I become upset because of missing him. And sophie knows everything about him as she is my only current bestie.

"You must be thinking about that boy. That's why you are nervous right" ? Michael said with a blank face.

I replied with a shrug. Because I don't want to talk about it.

"Come on kiddo. Don't be nervous about it. It was in the past. I know you still consider him as your best friend but there is no chance we can find him as you dont know his real name. And most probably he may have forgotten you a long time ago. You can't just stick to the past". Michael said sitting beside me wrapping a hand on my shoulder. Sometimes I  just love his over protectiveness. It makes me feel safe.

"Yes Em. Michael is right. As you have told us you guys know each other only for six months. He must have forgotten you". Sophie said.

I know we knew each other for only six months but sometimes it doesn't matter, for how long you have known the other person you just can't forget the bond you felt with that person.

"Yes. You guys are absolutely right. I should not go back to New York with dull face and bad mood". I told them.

And that's how we started our journey.

While sitting in plane I took out my journal from my backpack and started writing about today. Generally, I don't write about everyday. My journal consists of my travel experiences, my best and worst memories. And most Importantly I dont allow anyone to touch my journal because I keep his one and only photo I have of him in it. Staring at the picture I remembered our first meeting.

                        
                     FLASHBACK

I was sitting on a bench crying as no one was playing with me. I was in a park as it is near our house I came alone. A boy came and sat beside me. He was big boy. Older than me.

"What happened angel! Why are you crying?" He asked me.

I looked up and saw his gray eyes looking at me.

"No one wants to play with me. I think I am bad girl". I told him.

"No way angel. You are so cute you can't be bad girl. Don't worry I will play with you". He said with a smile on his face.

"Really! I asked excitedly".

"Yes. And from today onward I am your friend. He told me".

"Well... Then let's play big bear!" I said to him getting up from the bench.

"Big bear?" He asked while laughing.

"You look like a big teddy bear so you are my big bear. My first friend". I told him jumping up and down.

"Then you are my Angel because you look like it". He said smile brightly.

Then we started playing together.

That's how our friendship started.

                   End of flashback..

I want to sleep. That was my first thought after we landed in New York. Sitting in a same position for a 7 hours flight is not a good idea. As we made our way out of the Airport, cars were already waiting for us. I directly sat in the car as I just want to go home. Well I don't know where is my home in london or here. But as Dad loves New York he buyed a mansion here couple of years ago that's our home in New York. He and Mom frequently visits here while me and my brother were always busy in building our careers. Guess this is the time I can find some peace of mind. This time when I'll leave New York I want to be happy.

After 30 minutes drive we reached our mansion. As soon as we enter mom came rushing towards me engulfing me in a tight hug. I missed her so much.

"Well don't forget your dad princess". My dad said standing behind mom.

I hugged him as I hugged mom.

"I missed you guys so much". I said to them.

"We missed you to baby". My parents replied to me.

"Am I adopted" ? Micheal asked standing at the front door.

We turned towards him as I said "ofcourse you are. Glad you finally discovered the truth".

Behind Michael, sophie is suppressing her laugh she always find it funny whenever we talk like this.

"Oh. Shut up Emily. How can I forget my darling son". Mom said while hugging him.
After mom, dad hugged him and asked
"How is my son doing?

"Well  I am all good as you can see but this girls troubles me a lot". He said pointing his fingers towards me.

"No. I don't. Dad he is lying". I told dad like a child.

"Oh god this two will never grow up". My mom said to dad.

"Hi sophie. How are you girl"? Mom asked her.

"I am fine aunty Anna". She replied with a smile.

"Welcome to our home sophie. I hope my children didn't troubled you a lot". My dad said to her.

"Thanks uncle Jamie. And no, they didn't troubled me considering one is my best friend and the other one is my boss". She said laughing lightly.

"Ok children. Go and rest for sometime. I will call you guys for dinner". Mom said while calling a maid.
"Mary go and show them there respective rooms. And I arranged Sophie's room next to Emily's room". She gestured mary to take us upstairs.

"Mam this is your room". Mary said to me.
Thanks Mary. I thanked her and went inside.

Wow! I can't believe my dad designed my room similar to my old room when we used to live in New York.

Well this room is huge compared to the old room but still it's similar with a round bed in the centre and the light blue and white colour walls. A writing table near the window and a small book shelf beside it.

My dad knows what makes me happy.

I just walked over the bed and fall on it ready to sleep.
