SHEHNAAZ'S P.O.V-

I haven't heard from either Jay nor Sidharth in two days. One would expect that after Jay found me, his brother would stomp in here demanding me to go back home with him. Well I guess I expected to much, he has moved on. Last night I received a call from Ian asking to see me today. I am really not up to it, specially after what Jay said. I dont want to put my friend in danger but he is also very stubborn, he wouldn't take a no for an answer. I dont even know how to explain to him how dangerous my husband really is. Maybe I should talk to grandma about this, she is a wise woman. She will tell me what should I do. But the main problem is if I really want her to enlighten me, I need to tell her the entire truth and I cant reveal Sidharth's other identity to anyone.

Rose pull me out of my thoughts handing me a phone. I dont even have to ask to know who is calling. Lisa has been acting weird and I am assuming she is ready to tell me what her problem is.

"Hello" I answer the phone.

"Hey girl, how are you?" Lisa responds, trying to lighten the mood I guess but I am not going to play along.

"I am okay, you?" I answer keeping my voice low.

"You sound so down girl, what's up?" she questions. This girl got a nerve!

"Do you want to tell me what your problem is Lisa or are you going to waste my time pretending to be happy to talk to me when we both know that's not true?" I shoot back, not managing to mask the irritation I feel.

"Geez girl, you really are in a bad mood aren't you?" she comments, getting on my nerves. I dont have the whole day. I need to get a taxi to Umtata to meet Ian. I am running out of time listening to her pretending. I cant stand pretentious people. I love Lisa, I wouldn't have made it this far without her but the way she just straight up turned on me without even telling me what I did to her, not cool, not cool at all.

"Lisa what's wrong?" I question more calmly now.

"I am sorry friend, I got jealous, remember I used to tell you about my childhood crush whom I didn't know how he felt about me?"

"Yes, he is royalty isn't he?"

"Yes. Its Ian. I called you the day Sidharth came looking for you. I wanted to tell you but then grandma told me that Ian has taken interest in you and that broke my heart. I have lived my entire life saving myself for him. I haven't had a boyfriend because I wanted to be worthy of being his queen. When grandma told me that he wanted you, I was so mad. Grandma doesn't know how I feel about Ian so she was happy for you two and that made me mad. I thought if I didn't tell you that Sidharth came looking for you, you would be miserable and you would not have time to entertain Ian because you would be worried about your husband" she states, a sob escaping her throat and I am shocked! Ian is Lisa's old time crush......really?

Talk about small world.

"Lisa why didn't you just tell me? You are my friend and I wouldn't have gone out with Ian if I had known that how you feel about him." I state truthfully.

"I am sorry Shehnaaz. I feel terrible for the way I treated you. Sidharth sent his men to get me few days after he came here. I was even considering telling him where you are just so that he can come get you and you can be far away from Ian but I couldn't, maybe I would have if your husband wasn't so cold. He wouldn't even gave me chance to talk to him. He asked me what he wanted to know and as soon as he got the answers he wanted, he sent me away. I even tried acting innocent, I was desperate but I seemed to irritate him more. He was very angry and restless. I am sorry Shehnaaz I should have known better." she states and I cant believe she would stoop so low but I cant really blame her. People do crazy things when they are in love.

"Why are you telling me this now?" I question. I need to know. She left me worried for weeks not knowing what I did to her, feeling guilty until I gave up on her and settled for giving her space.

"Because I haven't been able to sleep feeling guilty about how I treated you when you didn't even know how I felt about Ian. Well my psychologist helped me see that. I was consumed with anger that I failed to see the facts. When she brought it to my attention, I regretted how I treated you but I didn't know how to reach out to you after what I did. Please forgive me." she asks and I forgive her right away. I cant believe she is been dealing with so much and I didn't know.

"I forgive you Lisa. I am sorry you have to deal with all this on your own and if you really want to be Ian's wife, I suggest you to get your ass here and fast because your future husband is about to marry someone else and if you ask me, he is forced to marry whoever he is marrying. Come and get your man before you become the second wife." I state and we both laugh. I had missed this, us talking and laughing.

"Are you for real?" she questions and I can tell she is nervous. She must really love that guy. I dont blame her though, Ian is a catch, good looking, hot, kind, romantic and he is future chief.

"Girl I am serious like a fish in the water." I tease.

"Honestly though, I am as serious as a heart attack." I mutter.

"Thanks Shehnaaz. For everything." she states and it warms my heart.

"No problem babe, got to go. I am meeting a friend in town. Bye." I wait for her to answer and then we hang up. I pass the kitchen chatting to grandma a bit before I head out.

The ride to Umtata is quiet and comfortable. I miss the old ladies I was riding with the last time though. As soon as I get off the taxi at the mall, I get this weird feeling that I am being watched. More like I am in danger. My heart start beating fast as I walk towards the restaurant Ian and I agreed to meet at.

As I am approaching the restaurant I get even more nervous. Ian is waiting for me at the door just like the last time.

I dont know if its on my head or not but he looks nervous too. I try to calm myself down as I approach him but its just not working. I dont know what is happening but I am getting a bad feeling.

I continue walking until I am standing in front of him and he smiles, his smile not reaching the eyes.

I am not getting good vibes today. Something is not right or is it just my overthinking mind?
