Ray woke up very early in the morning because he couldn't get sleep last night. He slept for mostly two to three hours than woke up. He was thinking about Samark badly, but was ringing in his ears were the Samark's words before hanging up the call. He walked towards his study desk and remove his diary he unlock it, took his pen and started scribbling in his diary.

"Love is a blessing which everyone gets from God. He never expected that his first love will be of someone else who is already engaged. He didn't want to be third wheel in their relationship. And he will try hard to control his feelings and will make it to stop feeling for Samark. "With that he closed the diary and headed for shower.

He dressed up for the airport and headed downstairs to have breakfast with his dad. After breakfast he hugged his dad and said goodbye and promised him that he will keep him updated about his brother's status and he will convince him to come back home again. With that he left home and sat on the car.

On the way he got Samark's call he ignored it but then when it rang for third time he decided to completely ignore he switched his cellphone to airplane mode to avoid calls of Samark.

Samark's P.O.V:

Samark has bruised hands as he has practiced boxing till late night. Exercise is the other way to remove the anger other than hunting his enemies. And Samark was angry as for what Ray has said. To be honest Samark never believed that he will get his love as he always avoided such thing but the moment Ray has entered his life things got change and he realized that the feeling of love can be felt by him too. He don't know what thinks about him and that's one of the reason he hasn't called off the engagement.

In the morning he expected to see Ray's good morning but he was surprised to see that there was no text from Ray. He waited for sometime and after that waiting for couple of hours he decided to call Ray. Ray wasn't picking up his call and later his cellphone showed switched off status. He got worry as he decided to text in kingdom group to know if they have any update on Ray.

To his surprise no one knew about Ray and he hasn't been online since last night. And that's when Zeeshan texted saying, "Ray will be busy for a week as it's family time for him so I ll he handling his account." This only triggered Samark's anger as he realized that Ray is ignoring him. And with that he dressed up took his gun and headed out of the house, sit in his car and drove to his destination.

End of Samark's P.O.V:

Ray when he reached airport switched back his cellphone to general mode and ignored Samark's call and texts as he knew it's for the best. He then got a call from Zeeshan on his private number saying that Sophia is in New Jersey so he should meet her. Ray immediately replied than we both will hangout while you will be far away from her. Maybe I'll help her in flirting with some guys. Zeeshan laughed and said that Sophia isn't like those girls besides when I told her that you will be coming to New Jersey she said to ask you to meet her, as she wanted to say something to you which I don't have any idea.

Ray smiled and said he will meet her. He is already at the airport so he will talk later and with that he hang up the call. He thanked his driver for dropping him and headed inside the airport. After a couple of hours, Ray was standing at the door of his Elder brother Asher in New Jersey. He rang the bell of the door and waited for someone to open it.

He heared some rushing down the stairs and said, "Wait a minute I'm coming." And the door was opened after a couple of minutes. Asher was standing in a no sleeve vest with his shorts and was staring at his little brother in shock. "Aiyaa What's that shock expression for?" asked Ray and entered the home.

"Why didn't you tell me that you are coming I would have come to airport to pick you up besides its not shocked expression it's the expression of surprise" said Asher and hugged his little brother tightly. "I miss you" Asher said with tears in his eyes. Ray made his brother sit on sofa and gave him a glass of water and said, "I know things are hard for you and you need someone to be with you that's why dad has send me here." Asher didn't say anything he just hugged his little brother.

"What we gonna have in dinner the flight has exhausted me and me feel hungry" said Ray. "You go to your room and freshen up then we will go to eat at your all time favorite place" said Asher will brushing the hairs of Ray. Ray run towards his room with his luggage and said that he will be downstairs in fifteen minutes. When Ray was in his room Asher stood up and was looking out of the window and said, "Thank you Ray for coming and thank you dad for sending him."

Ray came downstairs with a orange t-shirt on him and a green shorts. Asher looked at and started laughing and said, "you are looking like an orange from downside to upside." Ray pouted and headed outside seeing Ray pout make Asher to smile and he jog towards angry Ray.

The streets were silent as people were coming back to home from office, some were heading to dine, some were out to enjoy the nightlife and some were on dates and some were relieving their past memories like Ray and Asher. Ray looked at the board and said, "Grandma's Kitchen, Ash it's still there I couldn't believe it's still here." Asher followed Ray to the restaurant and saw the staffs were gasping while looking at Ray.

Ray greeted everyone, hugged some of them but gave bear hug to only Granny Susan the owner of the restaurant." "Granny the place is still same like it was five years ago" said Ray. "The place was same but it was missing you and you've come so it's completed" replied Granny. Come sit I ll bring your favourite dishes" said Granny and with saying that she went inside to prepare the dishes.

The atmosphere was happy as Asher and Ray were relieving their past. Ray has last visited this place five years ago and although the place is renovated but it still hold the familiar remembrance as it used to have five years ago. After dinner both the brothers came back, Ray called his dad and informed him about him arriving and said goodnight. He wished goodnight to his brother and head to sleep.

Suddenly the cellphone of Ray started to rang and he saw Samark's name blinking.
