After two days, as we planned Zara came to India. Our company arranged everything for her from accommodation and all her expenses. Today she would sign the contract with J&A. I didn't know whether she knew who was the owner of J&A. After few minutes, John informed me that Zara and her manager came. John and I were there in the J&A office building. If we were asking her to come to Excellence, she would know who it was.
I was standing near to the window looking outside. Someone knocked the door.
"Come in" I said without turning back. When I heard the sound of a door being opened and closed, I turned. It was Zara. She was still like an innocent flower. I am seeing her after around 10 years might be. She was more beautiful, elegant. She was my first love. She always held a special place in my heart even though she cheated on me. No one could forget their first love. She was so shocked to see me. "E..Eric" she shuttered. "Hi Zara, hope you are doing good." I asked her softly. She ran towards me and hugged me tightly.
I was taken a back by what she did. Then I composed myself. She held me tightly. "I am so sorry Eric. I am so sorry. I did so many things, which I shouldn't have done." she cried.
I could not see her cry. It would break my heart. I hugged her back. "Sshhh. Don't cry. It's okay. Everything meant to be happened. We can't do anything. Just let it be." I consoled her. I made her sit on the couch and I sat near to her. She stared at my face. "You are looking more handsome and attractive than before." she said. I smiled at her. "You too. more beautiful and attractive but still an innocent." I said and smiled at her. She smiled back. It was same like when she smiled at me in our class room for the first time. "How is Jennifer and Aileen?" she asked. "They are doing good" I answered. She smiled. "Jenn is so lucky to have you" she smiled bitterly. "No. I am so lucky to have her." I smiled in the thought of Jenn. "I am so sorry Eric. I killed our child. I killed him. I didn't have another option. When I had the only option that either I could save you or save him. I chose to save you. I thought you would understand. I thought you would not throw me out. But I don't blame. I know it was my mistake. I thought I would have a family with you. A small and happy family. I wanted to be the luckiest girl who have you in my life. But I shattered all our dreams completely. I broke my promises." she blurted. I turned towards her and looked at her confused. Tears were flowing from her eyes. I could see the grievance in her eyes. I was so shocked. either I could save you or save him. What does it mean? She smiled at me. "I know you will not believe me. I don't want to explain also. Let it be." she said and looked at me. She had a bitter smile plastered on her face.
"Zara" I called her. "Eric, I don't want to work here in your company. It will give me all the memories that I want to forget from past 10 years. I am haunted with the memory of you and my kid. I don't want to see you again and anymore Eric. Please send me back." She cried. "I don't fucking understand anything. Can you explain it?" I shouted. I was so confused with these incidents. Why would she cry when she killed my kid. Did she really want a family with me? Then why the fuck she killed him. "What is your fucking relationship with Daniel?" I shouted. She looked into my eyes. Her eyes were filled with tears and some sort of fear that only she could understand. I never seen her like this. I never treated her like this. I never allowed her to cry like this. My heart was paining not that I loved her. I was feeling sad for her tears. "Will you save me from Daniel, if I tell you the truth? Can you save me from him and send me somewhere he can't find me. I beg you Eric." she cried. What did he do to Zara? I was so confused to even answer.
