"Coz I love you.....I love you....I love you lakshith as the expanse of the universe"
Lakshith stood there Frozen without knowing what to do next.
Even though he already knew that she loved him but hearing it from her directly made his knees go weak.
He slowly whispered...."Riya....."
She looked up .....
She looked into his eyes with tears .
His whole confidence broke...
"Iam sorry riya ...."
"No..No ...No...you don't have to apologize for everything it's my fault to come to this wedding iam leaving I can't see you like this"
"No riya wait....."
He held her hand....
"Don't go it was your friend no our friend's wedding just finish it and go atleast"
She simply nodded and wiped her tears.
"Ok come let's go and eat"
They went to dining hall.
By the time they went nila ,yash and other friends were eating.
Nila first spotted both of them
"Hey lakshith and riya where have you been?"
"He was on a call in balcony after that we came together here "
"See you was the one who worried and ran back to get him while he was just on a call you never listens to me"
"Ohhhhhhhh....you will never eat without him "
Other friends teased them.
"Do you have any problem with that ?"
"No No"
"Then shut your mouth"
Everyone stunned because in the past his friends would tease her but she never behaved this way.
"You don't behave like this usually right??"
She smirked.
"Everything needs a new beginning right nila?"
Then they both sat to eat.
While they were eating others started to speak
"Then riya how is your business going ??"
"How well do you know about LR industries?"
"Well everyone knows about it"
"Then my company is doing great"
"By the way do you see georgia anywhere nila?"
"I saw her outside "
"She didn't even had dinner what she was doing there ??"
"Well,she seemed to be tensed"
"Wait I will go and look out for her"
Riya went outside to look out for her.
As she saw her from afar she can say that georgia was crying.
She was speaking to herself.
"Am I not worthy of him?"
Riya stepped forward and kept her hand on georgia's shoulder.
"What happened dear?"
"Nothing mam.....I'm okay "
"This is what you mean by okay? say
what happened!"
"Nothing mam"
"Georgia..."
"Well me and stephan went to same high school and clg"
"I loved him since second year of high school"
Riya got startled by what she heared.
(Character intro-Stephan:A friend of riya since she started working in abroad and currently CEO of LR enterprises)
"What but you never told me why???"
"Iam scared"
"Did he know that you love him?"
"I don't know mam"
"Remember one thing georgia whatever happens you must be strong enough to face it"
"Now go and have dinner"
"I don't have any appetite mam it's okay"
"Then have some juice and get rest "
"Ok mam..."
After Georgia went she called stephan.
He took the phone after few rings.
"Hello...."he was yawning.
"What are you doing it's nearly 9:00 am there and you were sleeping?"
"I came back late last night so....."
"Okay stop with that dragging i want to talk to you smnthing important"
"What???You got a boyfriend or what??"
"Nothing like that it's about you idiot !!"
"Me??? I'm single since birth I fell in love with a girl in high school but I never saw her again"
"You said high school??what's her name???"
"I don't even know her name she was in same high school and clg as me but i never got to speak to her I was so scared back then to approach her "
"Ok I will send a photo see it"
"What photo?"
"Just see man...."
Riya sends a photo of georgia.
Stephan opens it....
First second he can't believe his eyes....
Next second his world stopped....
He came back to normal after a brief of seconds.
His words stuttered...
"Riya....riya...how.....how did you get her photo do you know her ??"
"Yeah...! I know her"
"Well she was my secretary and her name is georgia "
"How come i never saw her?"
"Well whether it's official things or not we would always meet in private without any outsiders as that was your wish and we never met for 8 months"
"Okay Does she have a boyfriend ??"
"No..."
"Wow"
He got excited....
"One more suprise for you"
"What ???what????"
"Nah!Not now i bring her to you once we reach japan for our meeting after 3 days "
"Pls tell me riya..."
"It's not a thing to discuss on phone it would be much better if you both meet and talk"
"But..."
"It would be beautiful if you hear it from her"
"Mmm That sounds reasonable"
"Okay buddy wait for few more days"
"Ok riya Take care Bye"
"Bye"
Riya finally sighed.
"Atleast this was mutual and beautiful rather than mine"...
As she turned nila was standing behind her.
