Ana -
After leaving the office she directly drove to their hang out place. when she arrived Sierra and Adrian was there. Both of them were curious about what she was going to say. Sierra knew something was up. She knew about her friend. Ana was usually a playful one. There was only few time she would become serious. And when become serious it was not good. From looking at her friend's face Sierra knew that something bad had happened. Adrian too knew something is wrong. Adrian knew Ana too well. The moment she changed he could detect it. Peeks of being best friends he thought to himself.
Ana was feeling terrible. She didn't know what to feel or what to do. All she knew was something she tried so hard to forget all these years have retuned again. She wanted to let it all out. Even today rather than Xav no one knew the father of her children. when her brothers and father asked about that she cunningly pass it. She never told them about him. they only know that he was a stranger and h don't know about the existence of the children. Now he is here. What was she supposed to do. Should he tell her father. What will happen when Arjun gets to know about his children. She had no idea. And what about his girl friend. Thinking of Isha she was guilty. The guilt she tried to overcome all these years came back. What will she do when she gets to know about the children.
Ana knew that Arjun and Isha loved each other. she never believed in love and never will she. She loved her friends. and that's it. She had never been involved with someone romantically. Yes!! all the London society thought about her as a spoilt brat. It didn't matter to her. Yes!!! she was a spoilt brat and why did it matter anyways. she had to brother and a father who was ready to spoil her to no extent and she was happy about it. She never told that she was a virtuous daughter to anyone right. Yes she went clubbing and partying often but it was just for fun. All her friend cycle was like that. That's why it was so hard for her to survive those days with Arjun and his friends. She had to work extra hard to maintain her character. She had to behave like a nerd when she was not. She was never near to a nerd but for four years she was forced to behave like that. She will never regret that though. Because of that she got three amazing friends. And she had to refrain from going partying and clubbing for three years. That was the hardest part. She knew if Arjun knew a out her true self he will never make her his friend. He was totally opposite from her true self.
Today she decided to reveal everything to Adrian and Sierra.
"Hi guys" she said to the two figures who were waiting patiently until she opens her mouth.
"hi" said both of them.
" Era, Adri I want to tell you something. I don't know how you guys will take it though. but i am fed up of keeping this bottled up in my mind"
" what is at Ana. You very well know you can tell us anything. why on earth do you need to hesitate. don't you trust us " said Adrian in a very low but demanding voice.
She knew he was angry. Adrian was not someone who will get angry. He was a patient man. He will never take anything seriously. She knew it. But yet today he was angry.
" ok plz here me guys"
"yeah yeah tell us "
" So you guys know that i never revealed the father of Alex and Alexissa right. Today i met him"
"What!! but didn't you tell us that he was an stranger you met in somewhere." shouted Adrian.
"yeah. obviously I was lying. I didn't want to reveal him so i lied" she said.
Sierra and Adrian couldn't believe what they were hearing. This was not something they expect to here.
"ok when did you meet him . and where did you meet him" both of them asked at the same time.
"ok please here the full story before imagining things"
" aaah yes enlighten us " said Sierra
" So when 7 years ago our father's send us to different universities all over the world we were alone right . We didn't have friends. Although Xav and I were in the same university we were not allowed to talk or hang out with each other. you know it right"
"of course we know it after what happened that night uncle was enraged and he knew that if we were together we will never study. " said Adrian bitterly.
" yeah! I was enrolled in the university as a a scholarship student and I had no friends, I couldn't speak with Xav and I was all alone. I was basically labeled as a nerd. You know I was never a fan of making new friends. I always hangout with the people i am familiar with. So that's when I met them. they were Indians and they never mingle with the other foreign students. Arjun was the most intelligent one in our batch. He always hang out with his Indian friends Rohan and Siddharth. So in our first semester i was grouped with them to do my project. During this time we become very good friends. Those three became my best friends" she continued.
Both Sierra and Adrian knew that because even they face those things.
" So Arjun and become I best friends. There was nothing we hid from each other. But we never spoke about our parents. that was not needed. with him being a loner was okay. He always backed me up and supported me. Rohan and Sid were also like that. We soon become unimaginably close but we never crossed the friendship barrier. Arjun had a beautiful girl friend and her name was Isha. He had told me about her you know. I was happy for him. you know i never believed in love right. But i was happy for him. All things were god until one day"
"What happened Ana" asked Adrian.
" So in our graduation day we all were really drunk and something happened"
"What happened Ana" asked Sierra slowly.
" I slept with him" she said
"what the fuck. whom did you sleep with Ana" shouted Adrian
" With Arjun Adri. We slept with each other. Even though none of us were in our right mind it doesn't justify our actions. We both were in the wrong. He betrayed his girl friends and i couldn't control my self. I was so angry with myself and guilty about the thing we both had done and I also and i knew when Arjun wakeup he will also feel guilty . I couldn't face him either . I never wanted to meet him again after that day " said Ana
" So what did you do Ana" asked Sierra.
" I did the the only thing that I could think at that time. I ran from there went to my dorm and collected my things and contacted Xav and told him about the things happened. and came to England in his private jet in the exact same day. Basically I ran from there and hid myself"
"wait a minute. now you re saying that Xav knew about this and he never told us anything about this." asked Adrian gritting his teeth.
Ana knew she had crossed the line with Adri. Hiding things from him and only telling Xav the whole story will make Adri more angry.
"Yeah. Xav knew because he knew Arjun and he knew that i only hang out with them. There was nothing to hide. When he get to now i am pregnant he asked me whether the baby is Arjuns'. I couldn't bring my self to lie to him so told him the entire story" She said meekly. "I am sorry Adri I am sorry Era, Please forgive me. At that time I was so sacred and ashamed of myself . I slept with a committed man and even got pregnant. And i couldn't bring my self to tell you guys the truth. " she said to both of them.
" we are angry with you. No we are furious. But you know Ana we wont really be able to stay like that. so we forgive you. What ever you did, it was the best choice at that moment" said Era.
Ana was happy and she couldn't thank more for understanding the situation. She knew Adri was angry but she also knew he will come around.
" So why dis you tell us this now. Isn't it 4 years late" said Adrian angrily.
Ana wanted to cry. She burst in to tears. That made Adrian soft. No matter how much he was angry with Ana he want be able see her crying.
" please Ana . don't cry. We just want to know" said Adrian softly.
That got Ana's attention,
" I told you earlier that I met him right. "
"yeah" said Adrian.
"He was the owner of the Indian company we signed the contract today. He was there. I met him when I went to sign the contact . I was also taken back when I saw him. I never thought that he was a billionaire you know. even he was taken back when he saw me. Even Ro and Sid was also there. I couldn't face them. the moment we sign the contract in flew from there. But I will have to face him frequently from now on. and i am scared. I cant face him. and I really cant let him know about my children"
"Alex and Alexissa are my children and I really don't want to share them with anyone. What if he is married and what if he want to take my children away to India. I really don't want my children to have a step mom. Rather than having a dad and a step mom it's better they think that they don't have a dad. " she ranted.
" Ana i know your feeling, but don't the children deserve to know about their father" asked Sierra softly.
" I don't know Era but I really cant let him know about them at least now" she said to them
" of course Ani. we are with you we will do anything you say. For now let just pray that all will be good" said Adrian. He also loved the children so much and for him they were like his own babies. So he will never let them suffer. And Ana knew it really well
" Lets wait and see. don't take decisions you will regret one day." said Sierra.
" thank you guys. You are the best. Now lets keep that aside and enjoy our selves" said Ana.
With that three of them ate their dinner and watched a movie and went to their homes.
