I’m a simple boy.  Enduring my life, Of course!
I’m a billionaire but why to showcase your things, I don’t own many branded cars or houses, as I could have. It’s not my thing anyway.
I used to live a simple living life with my casuals. That’s when some people will start to hate you or ditched you when you invent yourself and endure all things.
Yes! Of course, I had a past, It was painful and I closed myself in the closet but It turned out a big positive thing in my life. Sometimes, we think it’s bad that we lose someone but No!,  sometimes we don’t understand the actual meaning behind that.
I was living a really happy life with myself. But there was an empty hole in my heart and it aches for something. I didn’t know what was that until she came along and my whole freaking life turned upside down.
I always knew that; I want to be an architect. I have that feeling and that pulse. I can't even describe it.
I got my dad’s call today and he told me, the girl is coming to New York for a project...finally!!
When my dad came from that project opening, I got some vibes and feelings that he is not doing well, but he doesn’t say a word so. I was asking him continuously because I knew he wouldn’t hide anything from me. Not when I am already 29 years old to understand anything and I can not shake the feeling that he is okay.
One day,  Finally he revealed that he was really concerned about this project and it will be a masterpiece in our industry but then what's the matter with it, We already have handled the huge projects, So,
And then he asked me to sit and watch whatever he was watching on his laptop.
I glanced, It was A video. A conference room..No!!
It’s an auditorium and then he restarts that video. I know this video is from the project opening from India. There was a girl standing on the auditorium stage, She looked nervous.
When I was on the urge to ask him why the hell he wanted me to look at, She started speaking and my mind, Well it stopped working.
Her voice echoed through the auditorium and it goes silent. I can't see her face but her voice is something else..
Ohh, Ethan! Stop it and hear whatever is she saying. I snapped to myself.
She was chattering on her project and guidelines about the different techniques, graphing. and what she has done with this software, She goes on...
I was watching and hearing each and every word carefully, Yeah! I wanted to be an architect but here I am a Master’s in software engineering with software architect guidelines with community business development and management.
So I know whatever she is saying....Wait!
I don't understand half of the things she is saying.
I search for my notepad hurriedly and started to note down the things, she is saying. She was talking for 2 hours without any break. What the hell is that? Is she a girl or what?
As she finished and went off the stage. I took the laptop and researched the things she was asserting this whole time.
There are certain rules in my life. I don’t ever judge people without any confirmation.
Rule No. 1. : Never comment on anything or anyone if you don’t know how much it’s true or not, No matter if it’s good or bad.
And my dad knows my rules so, He just sat there and kept staring at me whatever I'm searching for.
Once I finished, I again started over the video from the last five minutes and hear her out again.
"Woww" That's all I could manage to say.
"And you were asking me why I am so tensed," Dad said. Now I can feel the tension growing on my head too, she was smart and something else. My brains on a roller roster ride. 
More than that how could she even remember all of those things together?
"I asked her about coming here for our project leading and she refused," He said in defeating voice. What the!!  
"She refused, Why is that?" I inquired frustratingly. I couldn’t hide my surprise and annoyance at the same time.
" She is with Siraj and Co. And she is one of those strongest people I have ever known. So she refused"
That makes sense to me, This is the reason dad was with Mr. Siraj for that project because she is not willing to leave it.
"So Mr. Siraj asked her to be here and she asked for time and now it’s nearly three months. I still don't get any of her response ” My thoughts interrupted as dad continue. Why the heck does she want time to be here? Anybody would have flown here the next day for an internship with Nicole's.
"Let’s see," Dad said in a sad voice. I can't stand with that voice.
I nodded and turned to my cabin. I will not dwell with the twice thinking of her thought.
I automatically started searching for her with the help of Siraj's web, As I don’t know what her egoistic voice name is.
As I saw the information I have to blink my eyes rapidly. It’s little information about her and nothing else. I can't even find her on social platforms or anything.
Okay, maybe it’s some kind of NDA type of thing I guess. Still, I can't put my finger on it..why???
