If you let me love you.. (Season II)

chapter forty four

.
Izhaan's POV
.

I read the contract and listed out all the clauses I want to be discussed before signing it, then I picked up my phone and called my secretary sana.

"Yes sir" she said in a professional tone.

"Send Uday in my room" I said

"Yes sir" she said, I ended the call.

Within five minutes there was a knock on the door.

"Come in" I said, the door opened and Uday entered.

"You called sir?" He asked

"Have a seat" I told him, he obliged immediately.

I put the file in front of him along with the list I made.

"I have read the contract and here are some of my concerns" I said

He picked everything up and began reading it. Then for an hour and a half we were just discussing it.

"I got it sir, I will email it to the client" he said, I nodded.

"Go, do it right away" I said, he stood up.

"Anything else sir?" He asked

"Yeah please tell sana to order coffee for me" I said, he nodded and left.

I leaned back on the chair and thought about this past week.

After the reception night I could only stay in Hyderabad for three more days, then I came back to Bangalore making work as an excuse.

In reality, I was going crazy with back to back invitations for lunch and dinner, it was really really tiresome.

And it was really challenging staying so close to Reem yet keeping distance, I was sleeping on the couch every night, and it was quite uncomfortable, I was not able to take a proper sleep.

I was noticing that Reem has become very quiet, she would just sit quietly and just pass a small smile when anyone talks with her, she also visibly stopped eating her favourite food.

It was hurting me to watch her like that, but I had no control over it, Every time I think about being lenient with her, her taunts shake me, I will not put down my ego this time.

She should realise what she made me go through, and I am still suffering, and it's all because of her.

It still bothers me a lot, that if was not the one she was marrying then what would have happened she would have been someone else's wife today.

Today is Friday, and Athar and Ayesha are coming tomorrow morning, and at the night it's their reception ceremony.

It was evening, my family had arrived at Bangalore in the afternoon, mom called me and asked me to come back home early, but I told her there is so much work I cannot come.

I was just delaying meeting Reem, my heart mourns over our so-called love story.

I wish you had been truthful to me Reem, I wish the situation was different between us, I wish you could understand how terrible I felt when you insulted me and my love for you.

A knock on the door made me sit straight, a canteen guy brought coffee for me, I told him to keep it on the table and leave, he obliged.

I received a message from Burhan, he was telling me to come home quickly, as dad was getting upset.

I decided it was best to leave, the last thing I want right now is face dad's wrath.

My phone started ringing, it was Abrar uncle's call, I immediately answered.
