Chapter 1

Lindsley

"Hey !have a safe and wonderful journey " shouted Katty .

"All the best for your presentation....I am sure you are going to crack the deal for our company.."She showed her confidence on me.

Thank you so much dear and take care .... don't hang yourself on late-night parties ....I told her .I cared about her a lot.

Katty was my only friend in the city.We were working for the same company.I was marketing manager.She was sectional clerk.I met her first time in the office.She was fun-loving, humorous , cheerful, friendly and frank .She talked a lot.Though I hate talkative people what I found special about her was that she was real and a pure heart. She was a divorcee.

I was a peace lover.I didn't speak a lot .I just focused on my work and kept myself busy with official tasks.I could find some of my male colleagues trying to flirt with me.I just gave them a damn.I used to totally ignore them.So they often thought me to be arrogant .Who cares ?Let others think whatever they like.

I was always appreciated by my boss as I used to complete my tasks within time and with perfection.My boss treated me more like his daughter and he always used to motivate me. I had a huge respect for him .

Besides spending on my living and saving little I used to donate all my salary to the Mother Mary Orphanage Home where I was brought and grown up.It was Mother Mary who took care of me and many other orphans like me.What I was today was all because of her. For me she was everything. She was not less than a god for an orphan like me. I used to have chats with her frequently. I was miles far away from her because I had to focus on my career too.However I used to travel back to my Orphanage Home and spent a week there once a year.I loved being there.

"Don't worry dear ...I'll definitely take care of myself. Call me as soon as you reach there .I am gonna miss you sweetheart" saying that Katty kissed me.

"Are you two lesbians?"Mrs.Wilson appeared with her shopping bags.Mrs. Wilson lived next to our flat.

What did you mean by that? I asked her with a furious look.

"Both of you are single in your thirties and living together like this so I guessed it" she said mocking at us.

What the hell she thinks of herself.....it's not her business at all.Why the bloody hell is she so interested about others.....I said to myself frowning at her.

"Haven't you completed fifteen years of your married life Mrs.Wilson?" asked Katty.

"Yes.So what ?" replied Mrs.Wilson anxiously.

"Then why don't you have any kids? Is your husband a gay?"laughed Katty.

Shut up Katty.She is older than you.Please don't take it seriously Mrs.Wilson .You know her nature.She must be mocking.Just forgive her.I tried to settle down the situation.

Mrs.Wilson didn't speak anything .She entered her room and shut down the door angrily in front of us .

BANG!!!! It made a loud noise.We both laughed out loud.

Katty handed me my luggage and hugged me.

"When will you be back?" she asked.

I looked at her sad face and said I' ll be back just after two days . It's not that long.Good Bye.Take care.

"Goodbye Lindsley! Hope you will meet your prince charming in this tour".... saying this Katty winked her eyes at me.

Hey you naughty woman.... I am already thirty and yet I am single . So your wish is never going to be fulfilled...I laughed and left from there.

My office car was waiting for me outside .I entered into the car and the driver directly headed towards the airport.It dropped me to the airport and left.

After done with check-in counter and acquiring boarding pass I went inside.I sat in one of the seats at the corner .I was patiently waiting for my flight.

I was going to another City to participate in a conference on behalf of our company.I was going to give my presentation there.

Ouch! Someone stepped onto my feets.

"Oh!!!! I am extremely sorry ...I mistakenly stepped onto your feet " I heard a male voice .

I looked up at him. Gosh!!!! He was tall and dashing.His eyes were blue and magical.His dark brown hair was finely done.He had got thin pink lip.His body was so fit.He was really attractive and handsome.Any female could fall for him.I didn't know why but his face seemed very familiar to me.I could feel as if he was not a stranger but someone very close to me.

What's happening with me....I never gave a damn to any men I met till now.....I even didn't get attached to any yet.I just kept myself away from males . Because I didn't want to be the victim of any wrong relationship.

I didn't even remember the names of my male friends except the name of my childhood crush Reinhard Fayol.He was the only guy whom I was close to during my childhood.I never met anyone like him till date.He was very special and no one could be like him.That was why I could never forget him .I could always feel him inside my soul. I always had a strong feeling that if our destiny wanted we'll hopefully meet one day.I had badly missed him in these sixteen years.

I was lost in the memory of my childhood crush.

All at a sudden I again heard the same voice...".Excuse me!Are you hearing me? I am sorry.I was checking my phone so I didn't notice that you were here and mistakenly stepped onto your feet."

It's okey.I didn't mind at all .I replied to him.

"Thank you" he smiled at me gently.

Damn!!!His smile was too cute.I could clearly notice him staring at me curiously.I felt as if he was wanting to know about me.His magical bright eyes seemed to be questioning me .They didn't seem strange .My heart was pounding .My heart was convincing me that I knew him..His eyes,his face,his smile was trying to remind me of someone who had been so close to me.

Do I know him?Nah.... it's the first time I am seeing this man...why is his appearance bothering me so much? Why am I feeling to have deep connection with him?What the hell is happening with me?God knows.

It must be my illusion.He is also among one of the strangers that I pass through.But why my heart is not trying to accept this?My mind was going through the flow of several questions.

God!!!please take me out of all this.I just want to focus on my presentation.I should stop thinking about him....I spoke to myself taking a deep breath.

The man sat next to me. I was getting nervous .Other females were trying to seek his attention.It wasn't their fault.After all he was a hot dude.I didn't want to look at him at all.I hurriedly took out a book from my bag and started reading it. I could hear him stamping his foot.

He stood up and left.May be he got bored I thought .But he was back with a packet of potato chips.He opened it just like a kid.

"Would you like some?" He offered me .

Aww....how sweet of him?But I was pretending to ignore him.

No,Thanks ... you have it... I replied smiling at him.

He started crunching.At the same time his phone rang.

He received the call..."hello sweetheart! what's up?yah I am waiting for my flight."

"I am already missing you so much.Will be back as soon as I finish my conference."He added.

Ohhh... he might be talking to his wife , the lucky woman....I guessed.So he is a married man ...I sighed.

I don't know why but for some reason I wasn't that happy .

"Where's my little gal Lindsley? " he spoke.

Lindsley....it's my name.....I was shocked....I looked at him with surprise.

"Hey my little princess....how you doing? Your super dad is also missing you..I'll be back soon.

"Love you.Take care darling". He ended the call.

So he had a little daughter too. .But how came her name was same as mine.Was it a co-incidence or I just heard it wrong...I wandered.

Whatever ....why the hell was I overthinking about him.I I didn't know him at all...
