Preordained Love

'How is it going?'Ivaan was sitting on his office chair looking at the pharmaceutical files of the month.
'All hell, she never listens, bickers all day, doubts so much. Sometimes I feel like I am with my mom. Anyways, thanx for asking, you don't listen to anyone but me, I appreciate your care', Jojo was wiping his fake tears.

'I didn't listen to you cause I care, I listened because I've got these ears attached to my head and your mouth never stops', Ivaan rolled his eyes.

After an awkward silence, 'I take my words back, you don't care for me but like personally insulting me', Ivaan fake smiled.

'I was asking that did you spoke to Sahara ltd. for that agreement that I told you',

'I called too many times but there isnt any response', Jojo was putting the bills together.

'If they arent interested, its their loss, you just lower the medicine price and give it to the client'

'But other companies are not willing to lower it and the manufacturing cost is high, we might go in loss'

'Jojo, my dad started this company to help people fight diseases not to make money, in today's world all the companies are the main diseases, lets not get in that category. You just lower the mrp, we can bear the loss for good'.

'The person who hates people is thinking about people, thats impressive'.

'I hate being around people and people coming close to me, but that doesn't mean I want them to suffer. Am not inhuman'.

'Why dont you show your this side to the ladies, I think you should get one now, Iam bored talking to you'.

'Why dont you get lost from here, am bored looking at your face', Ivaan gave him a stern look.

'Fine! I will shutup', Jojo made faces.

'I can see you', Ivaan looking at his file

'I can see you', Jojo mimicked, but then became serious
'Do you still take that pills', Jojo pointed to the anti-anxiety med kept on the table, 'I thought it was getting better, do you still have that nightmare'

Ivaan looked at the med and nodded, 'It was getting better, but recently it reverted back. I dont know the reason but now-a-days the occurance has increased. Recently I heard someone screaming for help, I felt like it was mom'.

'Did he find anything, Ivaan you arent hiding anything from me right?', Jojo was really concerned, he had seen Ivaan suffering for too long.

'Not yet and why would I hide it from you, you are the only one I talk to about everything. Am hoping soon he will find something, but now am losing hope'.

'Dont lose hope bud, be the Ivaan I knew, strong and determined. No one can hide forever, truth will come in light one day, lets just keep trying'.

'Ya, lets work now'

Naya was sitting on her bed staring at her reflection and lost in her world when Sana snapped her fingers across Naya's face, 'back to earth girl'

Naya jerked and looked at her, 'ya! Were you saying something? '

Sana frowned, 'I was saying what have you decided to wear for the party? ', Sana was excited but not Naya, she had accepted to go to the party because her maa wanted her to go. Naya earlier was a very out going funny girl but years have made her an introvert, who loves to stay at home, do her daily chores, read books and be in her own. Her mother was worried about her, so she entrusted Sana to take her out to socialise with others.

'Not sure, I dont have many options, you select one', Naya pointed at her cupboard.

'You dont have options? Am a big fan of you dresses, this would go with the party theme', Sana said going through the cupboard and picking up a magneta-golden jumpsuit with ethnic motifs printed on it.
