Promise

10 years ago.

Saints international high school

As I sat on the last bench with a lot of books on my table writing continuously, completing every book with my spectacles on, I looked really like a person who wouldn't mind even if you gave a stare at my dressing sense.

Rehan ran to my bench ''what are you up to now;'' book worm you know every line in the school books, now you want to store the whole library in your brain''! he said with an annoyed face as he found me only with these books.

'Rehan, will you please let me complete these books don't disturb me!', you will never understand what they mean to me?'' I said with a stern face.

'OK, Ms. bookworm!

'Hey, what are you going to do after high school, of course, you will go to college but what are you planning to study,

'I don't know!?'

'You will get into the top university with your scores and be more successful than me right?'

'You think too highly of me Rehan?' giving him a smile I looked at him

'Let me achieve something first, I know one thing for sure that, I will fade from all your memory like the passing time ',

'You won't' Rehan insisted.

'Fine then let's see, who forgets, promise that you'll come to see me, after ten years from now

'I promise,' Rehan said with full confidence. the thing that Naina didn't know at that moment was that Rehan would really look for her and visit after ten years.

..............…..

…..........…

At present day….

At the office cafe, both of them sat chatting and placing the order, As if the time has come to stop for both of them to meet. "Naina to move on and come out of that embraced situation took a look at the menu and placed it back on the table and started to have a conversation.

She asked for an iced coffee and a cappuccino with less sugar.

Rehan who did not look away from her face from the moment he entered the office, suddenly spoke up.

"So it seem like you did not forget what I like to drink.

"Why not !" Naina replied. After all you are my friend, and Naina doesn't forget her friends easily', now can I ask you something ?!'

'Sure, go ahead' Rehan said without giving it a second thought.

'I have noticed since the moment you came here you did not look away from my face are you planning to kidnap me or something like that? She asked with a little smile on her face and the secretary from a little distance saw that and thought that so she can smile too.

Giving a grin he took a sip of the coffee placed on the table and leaned back on the chair' I was just wondering why you didn't ask me that?

Ms. Naina I have a reason for that too',

I am unable to believe my eyes.

'you have changed for the better, if I would have known that you were so pretty before 10 years ago I would have...'

before he could finish he was interrupted by Naina

'stop it Rehan, stop flirting with me, you know that it's not going to work on me I know you very well, and even your sweet talks'

'gosh you are still the same rough and tough bookworm, nothing in you have. changed other than your looks which is great' Rehan said in admiration.

'forget about me, tell me what are you doing nowadays'

'nothing great like you but, I took over my dad's company five years ago

'oh..so the Rehan who hated to visit his dad's company ten years ago is now the CEO of the company' i said giggling at his condition.

Naina stop it okay' Rehan warned 'stop making fun out of it, you don't know at what condition I was forced to accept to take over the company',

'tell me, what did uncle threaten you with this time, it might be something great right to make you accept the deal' Naina gave a cute smile as she knew Rehan's condition very well.

'Ms. bookworm, if I would have not agreed to his terms five years ago, I would have been a married man now, and not a happy single person in front of you're said with a grim face.

'what, Naina almost spite out the coffee that she was drinking,' you and marriage? Naina started laughing with her whole heart

'so this is the reason, I must appreciate uncle for having his ways to control you, you had to go through a tough decision, right Naina said in a teasing tone.
