Hate to love

chapter thirty five

I turned to look at her, she was fast asleep. I scoffed, what was i thinking she will be bothered?

*******

I dropped Aleeza to the hospital, then i got in touch with the bodyguard, thankfully nothing is suspicious around Aleeza, but i still told him to keep an eye like a hawk.

It's been two weeks, since i am maintaining distance between me and Aleeza, funnily she doesn't even notice it.

I don't show fondness to her anymore, and physically I'm staying away, here i am dying to even hold her hand and she really doesn't care about me at all, she behaves so normally, not even once she tried to find out what is the reason behind my cold attitude, why would she? She doesn't realise I'm upset with her

It's hard for me to stay so close to her and still keep distance, after a tiring day at the office i really want to run to her arms, but i can't. The situation is driving me insane.

I reached the office and settled on my seat, i couldn't get her out of my head. To distract myself i drowned myself at work.

****

I successfully completed three hours of works, with no distraction. A knock on the door got my attention

"Enter" i said. The door opened and my PA entered, "yes?" I questioned, he had a huge grin on his face

"Sir, i have just received an email, we have got the contract of Khan industries" he informed, i felt so happy hearing it

"Really? That's amazing" i said

Shaan, my PA, frowned at me, maybe he was surprised by my reaction, even I didn't know why I reacted that way

Earlier when he would come to inform me about any success, i would arrogantly just say that i knew i would get it as I'm the best, but now i feel i am a changed person now

"Congratulations" he said, i just smiled, "there's one more thing"

"What?"

"You will have to go to Morocco for a few days" he said and i got up from my seat

"A few days? Why?" I shouted

"For the project" he shrugged, confusion was evident on his face. It will not be the first time I'd be traveling, i have travelled almost all around the globe for my work

"Are you ok sir?" He asked, i nodded, "you seem different" he said, i narrowed my eyes at him

"You may leave now" i said in annoyance, he quickly left

He is not close to me still he could see the change in me, but Aleeza, she is the closest person to my heart, yet she feels so far, in a way it is good that I'll be gone

But what about her safety? I can't leave her alone, i have no news about Danish. I feel uneasy in leaving her alone

I picked up my phone and called my PA

"Yes?" He answered

"When am I leaving?" I asked

"Your flight is scheduled on Thursday afternoon" he said

"Ok" i said and hung up

Today is Tuesday that means I'm leaving in two days, what should I do? Should I ask her to come along? She would never agree. Then what? An idea occurred to me. I called the bodyguard

"Sir?" He answered

"What is Aleeza doing right now?" I asked

"Ma'am is in laboratory, running some tests perhaps"
