In some time, my assistant came, and I arranged a meeting with my staff to see the final preparation.
Time ran fast; me and Azar met only for a fifteen-minute meeting for lunch. Once we finished our lunch, we headed back to work.
I like one thing about him. He is very professional in the office.
Days pass so fast like this, and it is already time for me to leave.
I met Sister before leaving; I was sad I had to go like this, leaving her all alone. I do not want to go either, but I cannot ignore work as well. But I know Aunt Nina will take care of her, and Aunty is with her, so she will be comfortable.
I touched the grandfather and aunt Nina’s feet to take their blessing (it is a kind of Indian tradition), and we left for the airport.
Azar wanted me to go in one of our jets, but I don’t want to take advantage of his generosity. Moreover, this is an official trip, so it has to be done accordingly. However, after saying no, he booked the first class for me and other staff who are at the senior post, taking a business class, and the rest of the economy.
I turn to his side before getting out to say bye, as I know the media might be out and I do not want to be part of PDA, which I know Azar will surely do.
The driver and bodyguards were already out and waiting for us.
“So, till we meet again?” My smile lightens up his mood. Tears are threatening to come out of my eyes, which I am controlling somehow.
“Till we meet again!” Saying he locked our lips; we kissed till we got breathless and then bid our bye with the last pack on his lips.
Prisha is going with me with some other bodyguard whom I do not know, and we finally left.
In almost ten hours, we have reached
I messaged Azar for the same, and in some time, we checked in to the room as well.
Prisha’s room is next to my room, which is also connected by a door.
Paris is not new to me. I have been here. It is a beautiful city of love. I just love the air in Paris. Love and fashion are in the air, and I just love to be here.
It is already night here. Tomorrow evening, we have our first show, and it is going to be a hectic day. I had a light dinner and went to sleep, but not before talking to my family, most importantly Azar.
I fell asleep thinking about what tomorrow holds for me.
The next day, I was madly busy checking fittings with modals and whatnot.
Finally, it started, and I could see people were loving it.
Once the show was over, we had already started taking bookings for the orders.
We have a small success party there after the show, which I so want to avoid, but my dear best friend Vi will never let me do that, I guess.
So, we finally got ready and left for the party.
The party was nice; there was loud music and dancing.
I stayed away from the drink because I knew I could not handle it, so I just took juice. Prisha was with me like a shadow.
I felt a tap on my shoulder, and when I looked back, I got the shock of the day.
‘Sebastian Devis’
I was surprised to see him and happy to see my friend.
“What are you doing here?” I asked.
“Well, we are providing software for the event organizer. But I don’t want to know what you are doing here because I know already.” He spoke with a charming smile.
I giggled at hearing this and called Vi. They both did their pleasantries, and she again went to the dance floor.
Sebastian and I are the same. We both do not like much crowding or noise.
“I am glad you are here. I was really getting bored.” I spoke, pouting.
“Come, let me take you somewhere. I am sure you will like it there.” Saying this, he started walking, crossing the crowd, and Prisha followed us.
He noticed Prisha was following us and looked at me. I told him she was my bodyguard, which we both laughed at. But what to do? My dear husband has some rules, and I must follow them without complaining.
We reached the terrace of the hotel, and it was beautiful. I could see the lit-up Eiffel Tower and greenery around me, and it was so beautiful and peaceful.
Prisha stood at a safe distance from us-not disturbing, but not so far that she could not see or hear.
We sat there and talked about random things.
“Are you happy, Ara?” Sebastian asked me out of nowhere.
“Of course, why are you asking this?” I felt weird.
“I just wanted to know. You have not had time with him; moreover, he came to see Sanya and got married to you. It must be very difficult for you.” He spoke, looking into my eyes.
I smile. Well, his first sister herself does not want to marry him. Second, he chose me over Sanya.” I finished thinking back to my past.
“He is a superb man, Sebastian”. I spoke again. I know Sebastian is just worried about me.
“I am sure that’s why he chose you not to Sanya to satisfy his ego because she said no to him,” he scoffed, saying this.
“No, Sebastian, you know nothing. He was there to say no for the alliance. If Sanya would have said yes, then also his answer was no, but then he liked me.” I try to state the facts.
“It is good you are convincing yourself of this lie. But I don’t want to believe you.” He rolled his eyes, saying this.
“Believe it or not, this is the truth, Sebastian,” I said, getting up more of getting annoyed of his non existing assumptions.
