Harim was handed to police for attempted murder. Rawil was discharged and we headed back.
My parents were waiting outside his apartment.
" How did you __"
My mother hugged me tightly, " Are you okay?" She asked crying.
" Mom I'm not hurt," I replied pating her shoulder.
She turned to Rawil and held onto his hand, " Thank you so much for saving my daughter."
" I'm more than willing to do it," he replied confidently.
My parents left late at night and advised me to pack things and come back home.
" Why did you saved my life?" I asked as he was heading to his room to sleep.
" Everyone would have done the same."
" No one sacrifice themselves for others without a reason."
He looked at me and stayed silent.
" You have been taking care of me without any reason. And this time you sacrificed yourself to save me , I know it's not just for business purposes."
" Yeah it's not for that reason nor it's sympathy," he walked towards me, " I love you that's why I can do anything for you. And I have been loving you for a long time."
I stood stunned although I felt his affection for me but I just thought he was taking interest in me recently because we lived together.
" I liked you since we were in university but you were only looking at Harim and never noticed me."
I couldn't believe that cold and cool guy in the university used to like me when all university girls lined up to take a glimpse of him.
" Why ? You don't like the fact that I am into you?" I snapped out of my memory at his question.
" No it's not like that. It's just unbelievable."
" Why do you think it's unbelievable."
" You were so famous for your looks, it's unbelievable that you were into me. Not to mention you still have those feelings."
" You were as popular as I was, you just had no time to look at this aspect of yours because of your boyfriend."
" I guess I lost a lot on the wrong person," I said as I settled at the sofa.
" It's not too late, you are still famous you just need to make the right choice this time, " he said as he turned around to walk away.
" What about you?" My question prompted him to look at me, " do you want me to choose you?"
" Well I don't know if I'm the right person for you."
I stood up and walked to him, " You gave up on your life for me, isn't that enough."
" Will you choose me?" He looked straight into my eyes.
" I don't know, give me some time to think it over."
" Good night," he said and walked away.
" Good night," I whispered in inaudible voice so that he can't hear me.
Next day I packed my things and came to my parents house.
" It's disappointing that I can't live at your luxurious apartment anymore," I said playfully to Rawil who came to drop me off.
" Well you can come there as my bride if you want to." My heart suddenly pounded at his words as it has learned to beat again.
I smiled and waved my hand at him as he walked away. I looked at his back, " only if I found out about his feelings a little earlier than meeting Harim."
" You should have called him inside," my mother scolded.
Regardless of my stay at my parents house Rawil picked me up and dropped me off after I clocked out.
One day I was sitting in a cafe and Rawil was taking the order. I got message from a random number, " aren't you ashamed of your acts? Stop hanging out with my fiance."
" Who are you?" I typed.
" I'm sellina, Rawil's future wife."
I looked at Rawil walking towards me holding coffee as my smile disappeared and a grim expression took over my face.
He sat down on the table, " He took away all my pain! Was that all a lie."
" Are you engaged?" his hands froze and he looked at me. He wasn't able to deny.
I stood up and walked out.
He followed me and held my hand to stop me, " Rina please listen to me first."
I stopped and turned around, " Sure let me hear your excuses."
" Rina I don't love her. My dad forced me for this engagement that was solely for business purpose. Moreover I broke the engagement but she doesn't admit that because it was a business deal," he held me from my shoulders, " I should have talked to you about this but things were too hectic."
" Rawil please! I don't want to listen to you right now," I said as tears dripped down my face and I walked out of there with speedy steps.
I was sitting on the bed and searched for profile named ' Sellina'. A lot of profiles popped up and I closed my laptop.
I picked up my cell phone and lied in bed.
" Do you know Sellina? She is Rawil fiance." I messaged my secretary.
She sent me a few pictures with her information. My eyes became foggy.
" There is no way he doesn't likes his fiance when she is this pretty," I thought looking at her perfect figure with slender body. She looked too gorgeous compared to me. I threw the cell phone and closed my eyes.
I woke up earlier and went to the office with my driver. We had a meeting with Rawil's strategy planning team for the future projects. Rawil was present in the meeting.
He kept staring at me constantly but I ignored him. When I came out of the meeting room he called, " Rina , let's talk."
I followed him to the rooftop.
" Rina you are being unreasonable."
" What?", I wore a sombre expression, " The media is talking about how I cheated on my husband and that's why he tried to kill me. When they will find out about your fiance, they will call me a homewrecker."
He tried to hold my hand but I snapped back.
" Rina, don't think about others. I'm not asking you to accept me but please don't hate me and stop avoiding me." He ran his hand through his hairs, " Although I would love to be with you, but your happiness matters to me the most."
A wave ran through my body at his words. He walked away leaving me dazed out.
