Sheldon: Good morning. Sheldon here. How can I help you?
I was shocked to listen to his voice after 2 years. I didn't know how to respond. After a bit pause Sheldon got quite impatient.
Sheldon: Hello. May I know who is this?
Asta: Hi Sheldon. Good morning. This is Asta Williams from Logic Event Management.
There was a pause for a second before he responded.
Sheldon: Asta.....
He recognized my voice. That was really a surprise. I thought he would have forgotten me.
Asta: Yes Mr. Sheldon. We need a favor from you. Our company is launching a project. We are planning to launch new album songs. Everyone wants to invite you as a chief guest. Can you accept this invitation and come? If yes, Can you please let me know you availability on next month?
I spoke everything within a single breath. I was sure that he would be laughing at the other end of the phone.
Sheldon: Hmmm... What will I get if I come??
Asta: You can talk about the payment, if you are fine to come.
Sheldon: Soo much professional. I don't want many.
Asta: Then?
Sheldon: I wanna meet you today evening. If you are okay, I will do this without talking even single penny.
Asta: Today evening??
Sheldon: I am already here. We could meet.
Asta: I am not coming anywhere. If you don't want to attend this event, I don't care. Bye.
I disconnected the call without waiting for his response.
I told Jon that he would be busy next month and we wouldn't have time to attend this event. Jon was quite upset. But he said okay. And we were planning to invite some other person.
That day my fiance had to attend his friend's birthday party. I promised him that I would accompany him. So he might come anytime to pick me up in the evening.
I finished all my work and closed my laptop. At the same time I got a call from Jeremy. He said he was waiting outside. I packed my bag and went out to meet him. I was shocked to see both of them together in the parking area, opposite to the office. Sheldon was leaning on his car and doing something on his phone. Jeremy also did the same and their cars were parked next to each other. I didn't know why Sheldon was waiting there. I didn't want him to meet me. I should say this that he was looking more handsome and attractive than before. He was looking like a model came out of magazine. He was wearing a blank pant and blue t-shirt, black sport shoes and a black leather jacket and on top of that blue scarf was draped around his neck exactly like a Fashion week models ready for there walk. I was admiring him when Jeremy called my name loudly from parking lot. Sheldon turned and looked and me and again at Jeremy.
I walked towards Jeremy without saying anything and ready to get into his car. Suddenly Sheldon called me.
Sheldon: Hi Asta. How are you?
I did not know what would I say to Jeremy now.
Asta: Hi. Am doing good. You?
Sheldon: Breathing properly after meeting my Oxygen.
I knew what he meant. But I didn't know how to respond. It would be a mess if Jeremy got to know about Sheldon.
Asta: I didn't understand.
Sheldon: I know babe. If you understand also, you would act like you don't. By the way, who is he?? is he a driver?
This time Jeremy respond without allowing me to speak.
Jeremy: I am Jeremy. Asta's fiance.
Sheldon: Ohhh nice. I am Sheldon. Asta's Husband.
I was surprised by Sheldon's attitude. I never seen him act like this. I could sense dominance in his voice.
Asta: Stop this Sheldon. Will leave Jeremy.
I told this and I was about to leave when Sheldon came to us and held my wrist and pulled me into his arms. He held me tightly like I was his lifeline. That hug was so good. I wanted it. After 2 years, we were in each other's arms. I held him tightly. I forgot that Jeremy was standing there. I heard car engine sound and I knew Jeremy was leaving from. there. I pushed Sheldon away. Jeremy was waiting for me to get inside. I didn't have any idea whether to get in or not. I saw Sheldon. His eyes was filled with tears. I knew he was in pain. He held my wrist again. He spoke while his tears started to flow. He was crying.
Sheldon: Don't go babe please. I am begging you. Please don't go. I love you baby. I missed you so much... Please do not go. It is my fault. Everything is my fault. I am so sorry. But I can't see you going with someone else.
