Arranged Love (Completed)

Chapter 43

Rehaan's P.O.V

She said yes! This is the best day of my life. I mean, I knew that she was going to marry me anyway but asking her and she saying yes on her will is just amazing. It feels great. After we ordered our food, I was going to ask her if she liked the ring but my phone started ringing. The caller ID showed Bethany. God. This woman. "Hello?" she said when I answered the call.

"What is it?" I asked coldly. "Rehaan, I know you don't want to talk to me but this is purely regarding work." She said. I rolled my eyes. "Do you not remember? The deal is canceled." I said. "Oh I know. But it's not entirely my company Rehaan. It's my father's. And he hasn't done anything to you. I have. Don't break the deal because of your personal life. And your father wants to talk to you. Maybe you should call him and then reply to me." She said.

What? Dad? I cut the call and told Ahana that it's work and I can't neglect it and came outside and called my dad.

"Hello? Papa? Bethany called and she spoke about the deal which I had canceled and she asked me to talk to you. What's going on?" I asked.

He told me that Mr Lloyd had contacted him and apologized about Bethany and had pleaded not to break the deal.

"Son, come home right now. This deal is important to us too." He said. "I can't dad. I'm with Ahana right now." I replied.

"I'm sorry son but you have to come. The Lloyds' are right here. Bring Ahana with you if you don't want to leave her alone." He said. I sighed, "Why can't we just let this deal go? We'll have better offers dad."

"Son, every deal is important. I know we aren't on the best terms with the Lloyds' but what they're offering is something we cannot look past." He advised.

I thought for a few seconds. "Don't let personal life affect your professional life." He said.

"Fine. I'll come. I'm bringing Ahana with me." I said. "Okay son. She can talk to Aisha while we're discussing." He said. I agreed and cut the call. I looked at my watch. Damn. I've been talking for half an hour. I screwed up. I hope Ahana isn't mad at me. I went in and saw that our table was empty. Where did Ahana go?

I went and asked the waiter who took our order if he had seen Ahana anywhere. "Yes sir. After you left, this man came to Madam and told her something. She got up and left with him. I didn't see her after that." He said.

What?! "Which man?!" I asked. I started panicking. This isn't settling well with me. Ahana isn't someone who'll just leave like that. She would've informed me.

"I don't know sir." The waiter said. I read his nametag, Gopal. I called Ahana but she never picked up. I tried four times but in vain.

I then called Mr Chauhan. "Hello? Rehaan beta?" he said. "Yes Uncle. It's me. I just wanted to know if uhm you picked up Ahana?" I asked nervously.

"Pick up Ahana? No I haven't. Rehaan, is everything okay?" he asked, concern evident in his voice.

"Ye-yes Uncle. Everything is fine. Uncle, Can I talk to you in a while?" I asked. "Okay son. Are you sure everything is fine Rehaan? Where is Ahana?" He asked. Oh god. I can't lie. But I can't tell him the truth either.

"Un-uncle, she's with Sanjog. He just texted me." I lied. I have to call Sanjog now. "Oh okay son." "I'll talk to you later uncle." I said and cut the call. It might to be rude but my main priority right now is Ahana.

I turned back to the waiter, "Gopal, I might need your help so when I ask you to tell whatever you've told me, you have to speak okay?" I said. He nodded and showed me where he had seen her last. It was right outside the café.
