Her family (3)

Isha was a single mother. She had Lina on board when the biological father of Lina aka her fianceé suddenly disappeared.

That day Isha was about to announce her pregnancy to her boyfriend and surprise him. But she couldn't find him anywhere. She left no stone unturned in search of him. But there was no news. Every trace of him was wiped out.

By that time, Isha was already 3 months pregnant with Lina . She decided to keep the child. It was the last sign of her lover. She couldn't bear to part ways with him.

They were together for a whole seven years. Since their early dating days in high school they were the ideal couple everybody envied. They built their career supporting each other's dream. They were each other's epitome of trust and love.

For Isha, Alexander Antonov was not only her lover. He was her fianceé, her soulmate. Her reason to live, reason for her smile.

Isha was the only daughter of an wealthy buisness family. Her father sent her to the states for the better education needed for the sole heiresses of the empire.

Isha met Alexander on a flight from Dubai. Isha was on her first flight to the USA. She had to exchange flights in between from Dubai, Where they met.

Their seats were next to each other. The journey was long. It was the first time for Alexander also. Being the same age, he decided to talk to her. And surprisingly Lina was too bored not to talk to him. The two hit it off immediately.

During the whole flight they talked about everything like everything!! They shared their dreams, their family stories and their views about alobal warming, movies, sports, music. What else!

The two strangers leaving their home for the first time, with the uncertain future ahead, found each other interesting. They both enjoyed themselves.

Reaching their destination, Isha was so eager to meet her uncle's family that she forgot to ask for his number. When she turned back to look for him, he was gone by that time.

Isha had found him an interesting and hoped to be in touch. But.. Anyways!

Isha gradually settled down with the help from her uncle's family. After adjusting to her new home and arranging stuffs she found out that her father had already enrolled her into a prestigious high school.

Isha started schooling a week later she reached. She was the new transfer student of the class.

First the issues with transferring schools and then she was late for the session. The first day seemed to her like a doomsday. The homeroom teacher had instructed her to sit in the last row. Without looking anywhere Isha walked to her destination and settled down.

She kept her books opened and tried to pay attention to the part the teacher was teaching but she had already covered it. Isha loved to read. Anything means any books. It maybe story books or it may be study books. She found interest in studying various kinds of books.

Isha was drawing a picture of the boy she met in the plane. She couldn't forget anything about him since the day. She still regretted not sharing numbers. It seemed that Isha found her first crush. His eyes were mesmerizing.

Suddenly something fell on her desk. A folded paper with a smiley over it. Isha startled and slowly unfolded it.

" Miss me much, Ray?" it was written on it.

Isha was shocked. Who would call her Ray in the new place? Moreover it was her first day here. And then there was only one person who called her by that name. But ... how could he be here?

Isha looked up to check her surroundings and froze on her spot when she found the guy from the plane sitting in the next seat looking at her intensely.

Isha blushed on his heated gaze. She just watched him. Suddenly, the teacher poked her with a chalk.

" Miss Ray, care to explain the stanza here I just taught?"

Fortunately Isha was aware of the chapter otherwise it would really be a doomsday for her. She stood up and answered slowly. The teacher who was just about to teach her a lesson for not giving attention to class also couldn't help himself from praising her.

After the class ended Isha arranged her bag to leave for next class but suddenly someone grabbed her from behind.

Isha was shocked to see the same guy holding her hand with a smile on his face.

"I missed you Ray. You just left that day. No goodbye or anything? I tried hard finding you." Alexander was emotional.

" Sorry. I just left that day. I hoped to exchange numbers but what a pleasant surprise! I found you here.!" Isha looked at him just in his eyes.

" Ray. I um... "

"Alex.. "

The both stood there being unable to even blink. And that was the start of their epic love story.

Around that time, Isha was waiting for graduation and the response from her dream college. Suddenly, the news of her parents' car accident came. Isha abruptly left for her home.

After the funeral she was waiting for coming back to the states to complete her studies. The absence of her parents made her measurable to live there. Living in the mansion alone was hard for her. But another news shattered her perfect world. Her uncle engulfed the whole buisness empire her father created and planned to marry her off to a retarded.

After learning about his plane from the caretaker her father trusted Isha left for states overnight with his help.

Alexander was there receive her. He embraced the orphaned girl in a warm hug. They ran far and hid to get rid of her greedy uncle. Isha Ray, The sole heiresses of the buisness tycoon was now a penniless high-school graduate living off her boyfriend who himself ran from home.

Being valedictorians they both got accepted to Yale University. They took part time jobs to support tuition fees and built their own smal world.

Alexander was there when she was left alone. He was there when she needed him the most.They both embraced their flaws and got engaged.

It took many psychiatric sessions to recover from the trauma of his disappearance.

The last nail in the coffin for Isha was the news of finding an unidentified body from the police station. They informed her to come over to identify the body. The body kid of matched the description of her lover even though the face was ruptured. Isha couldn't stand the scene and left. She was sure that it was not her fianceé, Alexander. She knew every inch of him. But the police was not ready to listen to her. They tried to close the case as soon as possible. Abruptly, Isha had to agree with their proposition. But she never believed about his death.

Isha thought she could have lived even if he betrayed or left for another woman. At least she would have been happy to know him alive. But the circumstances made her measurable. She began to visit the psychiatrist frequently.

Lina was the last straw Isha tried to grab before sinking deep. It was her last chance for resurgence.

The proposal from the girls caused a loud pang on her heart . After so many years. Though Nanxian and her remained close all these years she never thought of starting over a new life with him or with anybody yet .

This was all new to her and she needed time to give it a lot of thought before making any rough decision.
