SARAH POV

What just happened? 

And what did he say Baby, Birthday, Darling?

How come he knows it’s my birthday first of all? 

And why he is calling me with endearment? 

Why? 

I was standing there for I don’t know how long, still trying to get what just happened.

I felt someone shake my shoulder I look up and saw Nathan was looking with questioning eyes I know what he is asking. 

I huff and nod in agreement.

He banged on the table "I should have thought of it, why such a big company is behind our life and that to want to meet you only. He spoke flaring his nostril. 

It could be a coincidence Nathan and if they big company let’s be honest we aren’t small either, we have made our name in such a small amount of time. I said sitting on a chair.

Agree but then again why they wanted to meet you? He put his point again.

They wanted to meet MD not me Nathan. 

And it’s been 5 years since he even has not care about whether I am dead or alive then why today he will come behind me? I stated matter of fact.

Maybe he wants a divorce? Nathan spoke looking at me?

“Maybe,” I said shrugging my shoulders. 

But again why he has to come? He could’ve sent with someone. I said while thinking deep. 

I think there is something more than this or maybe it’s just a coincidence but well now I don’t want to stretch this issue anymore, can you do me a favor? I asked looking at him.

Yeah, anything tells me. Nathan spoke

Ask our lawyer to prepare my divorce paper I want to finish this once in for all. I spoke getting up looking outside the window.

He nod and worry was visible in his eyes.

“Don’t worry Nathan I am much stronger than this, now come on I don’t know about you but I have work to do”. I try to lighten the environment but I know how shaken up I am of his re-entry. 

Nathan look at me for two min then nod and started walking past me.

I know he is not convinced with my statement but he knows not to ask anything right now, at least he understand my little bit.

I went to my cabin and took the whole glass of water in one go and suddenly I am feeling like I can’t breathe.

I look outside and tears finally started flowing from my eyes, why god why he is back? When I have started living my life peacefully why he is back?

I was lost in my thought standing at the same place for I don’t know how long and heard the knock on my door. 

Come in I spoke without looking towards the door.

Hey, Sarah are you ready to leave? I heard Sam’s voice. 

I have some work Sam you may leave.

Oh, but how will I go Nathan had a meeting so he will reach home directly. How long will you take? I can wait if you want.

Take my car I will manage don’t worry about me.

What? No-no I shall take the taxi don’t worry. 

Take the bloody car Sam” I spoke and she know right now I am not in the mood to argue. 

Take the key from my assistance I shall see you at the home bye.

I heard her huff and she left closing the door behind.

I sat on my chair looking at the ceiling, I don’t know what life wants from me now.

 

Next, when I come out of my thought I saw the time, It was midnight, I checked my phone and saw 85 missed calls from Nathan and Sam... Like really?

I called Sam and she picked up in one ring

Oh my god, Sarah where the hell are you? Did you even look at the time? Do you know I was sick worried about you?

She asked me one go and I rolled my eyes.

Hold your horse girl, first I am fine.

Second I will be home in half an hour so don’t worry. 

Third I forgot to turn my ringer on after the meeting.

Ok fine, come we are waiting for you.

No need it’s quite late you guys go to sleep and will be home in some time now bye. Saying I hang up before she starts again.

I pick-up my bag and booked the taxi and went down.

 

I was waiting for my taxi and saw a sleek black BMW standing my way. 

I was looking at the car as I don’t believe this could be my taxi.

I saw someone came outside of the car but the moment the person come into the light I froze again at my place.

What is he doing here is here. I thought.

I composed myself looking at him coming towards me.

What are you doing here at this time Mr. Hudson I spoke clutching my bag. Somehow his persona is very intimidating.

Well, I can ask the same question Mrs. Hudson what you are doing here at this time. He asked me a counter-question folding his hands on his chest.

On so now he wants to know my whereabouts like really dude after 5 years you want to know this wow?

“Well if you forgetting this is my office, Mr. Hudson”. I spoke looking directly into his eyes.

“I am very well aware of it Mam but I hope you know office timings are over long back”. he shot back

“Well again let’s not forget my office my rules and I can work as long as I wish to. However, u have not replied what are you doing here? I said folding my hand near my chest. And I could see his eyes instantly went towards my chest. 

Yup, my dear husband I do have curves, See what have you missed, I smirk thinking internally.

 

He composed himself to see my smirk and spoke “well will you believe me if I say I was waiting for you” He said raising his eyebrow.

I laugh hearing this “Well nope I won’t”.

Right then why waste the time when I know you won’t believe me now come on let me drop you, it’s very late.

No, I thank you I can manage. I said looking for my cab which was entering the gate.

“I can’t leave you here, Let me drop you”. He said soften his voice as if requesting. 

Well if I am not forgetting Mr. Hudson you have already left me long back. Now stop all this nonsense, I have and I still can take care of myself I don’t need anyone to do that. However thanks for your concern my cab is here saying I left.
