The silence around, the desperate steps of running from his past echoed inside the room. Ana's eyes lingered on the empty door finding it hard to believe what had just happened.

She couldn’t avert her eyes from the door hoping it was just some random prank of his and he would just pop inside showing his charming smile nevertheless nothing of such happened breaking her heart.

Mali was rooted to her place she didn’t expect this shocking encounter with him, After that dreadful day it was like there was no trace of him in her life, he made sure to walk out of her life like snow dissolving in water and even she had no courage to face him until this unexpected encounter which bloomed the hope in her heart but seeing his void eyes it hit head how stupid of her to think that he would reciprocate with a smile.

Wiping the lone tear threatening to fall on her cheeks she looked up when she saw tissue passed at her, she didn’t know how to respond to the person looking at her concerned, if it were her she doubted she would show any sort of emotions except dislike, but here she’s with no ounce of disliking or hater instead concerned about her than her heart. Anyone could guess she’s broke yet she chose not to fall weak in front of anyone which made Mali grow respect towards Ana

It wasn’t easy for Ana to act like nothing affecting her, in fact, all she wanted to run behind him and pull him by the collar and see the naked emotions in those cyan orbs, until this moment she was confident she knew him but now she isn’t sure of her man. The mere presence of his ex would affect him so much that would leave her alone hanging in the air neither she could leave not that she cared much but her state was no good for worry and tension, when she saw her wipe her tears and the guilt in her eyes she knew she had repentant enough for her mistake.

“Here” Ana passed her tissue to wipe her tears which Mali accepted gratefully and smiled at her

After wiping her tears Mali felt sort of words “I,.. I..” she knew her presence was unwanted here

Understanding her emotions Ana passed her a smile, Ana’s not someone who judges and draws lines, she chooses to read people and believes everyone has their story to share, and hide.

Just like Shivay, she knew Malika also carried her share of secrets and stories and it was not her place to judge or hear

“Mrs. Rana, I believe your presence here just not to see me ain’t it?”

Mali nodded her head, she wasn’t just here to greet her, she was here to collaborate with her until she saw them together now she wasn’t sure of her decision, she would love to work with Ana that’s why she flew all the way from NY to India, but now she not sure working with Ana is somewhat encountering with Shiv which surely he wouldn’t appreciate though she self encouraged enough to talk with him knowing how much he hates when someone lie or betray him it always stopped her mainly she can’t she the hater for her in his eyes which she had a glimpse of it.
