As I stepped on the Dubai land, a cold breeze kissed my face, sun heated on my body & I know that she is there. This winds hints me with her fragrance, her presence. A small smile grew in my face. I know she is here around me. I have chances to meet her, confront her but will she gave me a chance to meet her, explain myself. Why won't she?? She will. she have to.

We all parted from the airport. All family & relatives headed towards the hotel booked for engagement from bride side as they also have to talk about the sudden change of plan in marriage. So, all elders leave first to talk. Jay leaves to meet mahi as they planned. Kushal also had his plan with Shefali his would be fiancée. I , vikas along with his gf meethi move towards the next hotel where we planned to stay where already 3 suits rooms are booked for us. One for myself, one for vikas and his girl & another for jay & mahi. Mahi also agreed to stay with jay at night as he insisted her. Meethi asked us that where were we doing leaving others. I just said her for work as this was surprise for her & she don't know that we are about to stay there. We reach the hotel but there was some problems with rooms so, I & vikas were discussing the matter with receptionist where meethi scrolling her phone sitting near lobby as it's surprise for her & we don't want to disclose it to her so, vikas asked her to stay there only. There was a different hotel book for the ceremony but I doesn't feel like to stay there as there will be lots of relatives in common with her as well. They all shoot a dead dagger on me with their eyes about our past matter. Other relatives were also interested in marrying theirs daughters with me & try to initiate & asked for my marriage. That's the reason I never attend any family functions & weddings but it's kushal's wedding how can I skip it, his is my brother that I have to give in on this functions. I'm happy to see kushal. He is looking so happy with his lady.

Suddenly I feel something inside me, my heart start wrenching & I became more restless as I can feel her presence near me.  I feel like I heard my name from her. As I truned with hope & smile towards the direction & give a round to the place to find her but it faded as soon as it comes. For a second I feel like she was there calling me. A hope of ray bring a light curve in my lips but all goes in vain when I didn't see her. I grab my key & headed towards my room where vikas was searching his girl.

I'm totally shattered with the view in front of me. It's been fucking 19 years long that I haven't seen him personally. I become very emotional that at right time I feel like to kiss him, hug him, feel him. He was looking like a Greek god that muscular body, shape, size, his mess hair, that lips everything in him was perfect. After a ages, my bare eyes are bless to see him just right beside me. Thanks to xyz magazine who always captures his movements to post in his pages. I got to know about his physical appearance & looks from there. He has change a lot. He has changed his physical appearance that may be if I hadn't seen him before, it's hard for me to know him by his appearance. As long as I know I would definitely recognize by his presence but from his physical appearance its quite impossible as he had really grown up well. He become so hot & more sexier from before.

I got so lost in his thoughts that, I literally forgot that now I don't have rights to call him. He is no one for me, a complete stranger. He was the only reason of my demonstration. Forgetting all his deeds & becoming a emotional fool, without being in sense I called out him by his name but due to my pain & emotions it comes like a whisper but I think he heard it but before he look towards me someone pull me towards the corner. I got numb for a second but after gaining my sense I got to know the owner.

I was so scared with sudden action. I was about to scream when she broke hug & speak with excitement. It was meethi. May be she was here with vikas as she take leave from company to attend her bf's best friend wedding. I had saw vikas with siddharth in front of reception desk. She grabbed me to side as I was in the middle of door, from where the front desk were blocked and I can't see what he was doing here. I gathered my consequences & asked her what she was doing here. Is this the same hotel kushal was about to get married. She nodded her head in big no & said she was here with her boy & his friend for some business. The ceremony was going to held in different place & all family & relatives were there. Only they were here for some business. I feel relaxed that I don't have to face him. I was about to talk further when she get call from vikas & she get excuse to attend the call. She said vikas was coming to her to take her with him. At the right moment I also got call from Aaayan so, I excused myself from her & promised to meet other day as I was also here for some business & leaved before they cross my way.

I enter in my room as fast as I can. A sudden nervousness caught my throat & make it dry. I drink full bottle of water & took a cold shower to clam myself. I wear my nighty & take a short nap. I don't want to think about him & our past.

Two days passed & I only stay in my room, totally busy on my work as I have to attend meetings in USA after some days. & I can't risk my work as it was one of the important deal for our company. As Kushal, vikas, jay & Siddharth was busy here in Dubai for Kushal wedding so, it not chance to meet them there. And Aayaan had already confirmed that they will go back in work after wedding only. & all work were handle by their secretary & other managers. I prepared myself well for the meeting & had already booked my ticket to USA. I will only inform them (her friends) after leaving.

After a tired days, I finally come out of my shell for a fresh air. I go for a long drive as it's a mid night time & roads are almost clear & peace. After almost for hours of drive. I stop my car near a beach which was quite silent & peaceful as well. I bought my favorite ice-cream tub & find a long stone place able to sit where wave can touch my hanging feet. I was enjoying my ice-cream when I feel a hand in my shoulder. I jerk the hand & turned to see the owner & got a shocked to see him. My ice-cream long mixed with waves. I was numb to see him in front of me. I literally got shocked. "finally got you" he said with grin.
