Ishitha's pov:

My twelve hours flight journey went good with the lady beside me and with me reading a business book which I borrowed from my dad

Our company chairman,one of the famous architects in India had started many businesses all over Europe, the companies did hire lots of people all across the world to give different touches to the designs

World may not only like indian architectures right? Likewise not all spain Entrepreneurs fancy indian styles so people from different cultures and traditions have been hired to give their magical touches.

The one I transferred is in Barcelona city of Europe which is very famous for it's architecture and economy. As I did take course of architecture after civil engineering it's kinda easy for me to join in any company. Perks of education.

As I am already in a good position in kapoor's house back in India, this Barcelona branch management are so fascinated about my degree from London university and are intersted in my work, they offered me a head designer position . Even though our manager didn't like sending me away nevertheless he sent me when I requested him Personaly.

Right now I am collecting my luggage bags oh I forgot to tell you I already have an assistant who joined as an intern few weeks ago

I just know that it's a boy and have no idea how does he look lik Or anything.

"Hello mam I am Jae-jin your assistant" Ah an Asian, he bowed his head as respect and I did it too awkwardly

"Hope you had a great flight mam" He forwarded his hand gesturing me to give him the cart

"No thanks I can manage" I said but he took is nicely from my hands and I give in with out a fight

"I am from South Korea by the way" he looks so cute. If not for my sour mood I would have flirted with him, glad he is an extrovert just like me.

"And I am fr..... " I started walking along

"India, I am aware of evey thing about you mam, from your studies to work life"

"You literally gathered everything huh?" I smiled a bit seeing him all prepared

A driver is waiting for us already outside, he helped us in loading my bags inside and we started our journey to my apartment which was already filled with furniture and tidied by the helpers hired by the company

"And I also know that you are single" He whispered making my smile cease

"Sorry if that's a sensitive topic" He rushed to explain from front seat

"No it's okay I am just so jet lagged" I lied ,placing my head on car window.

I sighed, hope this change brings good in my life

As the google said the city is marvelous and spectacular. I think I won't get bored in this city at all

"I am hungry jin" I said when my stomach growled

"Let me take you to best Asian restaurant mam" I nodded

The boy looks so excited and that's what I wanted in my life right now to forget about my past.

Car pulled over a beautiful restaurant it has everything in country style, as it is nearing dark the lights and colours gave the building a astounding look

"Mam if you want to use washroom that's the way" For an Asian he is way too matured and I like it. It's better than a narrow minded asshole right?

"Thanks"

"My pleasure" I followed the way to restroom

By the time I am back from the restroom jin is sitting at a table looking outside the restaurant

"You should have Ordered something"

"No it's okay mam" I sat opposite to him

"Jin you can call me ishitha no need of formalities" I picked up the menu card

"Ca can I?" He asked me rather shocked

"Of course you can" His face brightened up

"Back in the office my last boss didn't like being unprofessional"

"I don't mind and we are good as far as there is no problem in our work life" I winked playfully

"Okay" He said scratching his nape

"I don't know anything here so you order for me too" I dropped the menu card after reading half the dishes names

"But all are Asian foods"

"Yes but what about the taste? I don't know which dish they cook perfectly"

"Brilliant" He clapped his hands

"Order please" A cute girl in a uniform asked me or more like asked him, she is looking with dreamy eyes at him while jin looks uncomfortable.

"Two Soba please" Jin said looking at the menu card

"Someones got an admirer" I teased after that girl left

"It's not like that" His face crest fallen as if some car hit his favorite puppy

"You wanted to talk about it?" I figured out that he has issues and don't ask me how? It sometimes the face that answers every question.

"Actually I am a homosexual"
He sighed "I hope you have no problem with that" His body tensed up

"My best friend is a lesbian, and of course I have no problem" I laughed seeing his relaxed body

"Thank you"

"Why thank you?"

"Not everyone is matured enough,so I often don't share this with people"

"Hey don't mind those bitches,oops sorry for my offensive language"

"That's fine" He waved his hand in air

"You can share anything with me, even about your hook ups" I laughed out loud seeing his pink uncomfortable figure

"Till now only my family members and my best friend knew about this and now you"

"What made you think I am not like one of those bitches?" Before he can open his mouth our food came hot and filled the space with it's delicious aroma

"Enjoy your meal" The same girl said shying at him and left

"I don't know,maybe you look so cool" He shrugged.

We soon dig in and left after paying the bill

The remaining car ride to my apartment is peaceful with cool air brushing past my locks, busy city, busy people, slow music in the cab.

"The building looks nice" I complimented looking at my gonna be house

"Yes it is ,many of our staff members live in nearby apartments though"

"Where is yours?" I asked plopping on neatly made big fluffy couch

"I am just five minutes away"

"Oh, come sit" I yawn patting on couch

"You take rest mam, I will go"

"What did I said about formalities?" I raised my brows at him

"Okay ishitha" He nervously said shifting on his shoe balls

"That's right" I yawn again

"Call me tomorrow morning I will help you in unpacking and will go to do some grocery shopping" He said walking towards the door

"You didn't gave me your number yet jin" I stood up and pulled out my mobile from clutch

"Oh sorry" He pat his head slightly like a kid and making me laugh in the process

"Here type in" I shoved my mobile in his palms
"You are so cute jin"

"Okay bye" He left cupping his pink cheeks like a cat caught his tail on fire,I laughed after him.

I have no energy left inside me to roam around the house so I just took my mini bag inside the bedroom which I figured out the moment I stepped inside, took a quick warm bath and am ready to doze off.

In the middle of night I woke up to take a piss ,then slipped under sheets to go back into slumber but sleep betrayed me, my brain started playing events from ishan's marriage out of blue.

The memories bought a smile to my face and in the next instant I started crying in bed

After calming down I got up from bed to roam, it's just three in the morning,so I walked into balcony draping a big duvet around my body as I am too lazy to pull out a cardigan from my bag

Nights always are an escape

I love beginning, they bring new hope,sunshine is my confidence and now mornings became scary for me.

I know I could never fall in love again, I could never forget him, the man I thought will be with me for the rest of my life is no more in my life.

I think he is enjoying there in Korea alone.

I heard people saying love hurts and now I am experiencing it, I always wished for a beautiful fairy tale maybe that's why I ended up like this. All alone.

People also says there is more than love and marriage on this planet but I don't think so. It's already been a month till I stopped talking to arjun but evey thing still feels so fresh, our moments, our passionate make outs and nights ,I am still emotionally attached to him.

I was never a lusty person, back in London I used to hook up like once in six months unlike ishan who is high on testosterone all day.

I have always satisfied my desire with an instrument but after arjun everything changed, I started wanting his touch not only physically but emotionally too.

I can't even speak properly if he pins me with his intense gaze, I can't stop starring at his face when he is in the same room, and his touch is enough to make my body surrender to him.

I have a collection of his random pictures, I thought of giving them to him on our anniversary but fate was never on my side.

I pulled the duvet closer missing his warmth around me, I look up
The sky is bare like a plane black cloth. Stars are sky's companion,sky looks beautiful with stars only with stars.

I roamed around the house for some time then unpacked my stuff.I brought a photo frame of us from engagement eve, placed it on night stand with a sad smile

I hope one day you will find your true love arjun

Don't they say
'if you love something let it go'

"Hello, Who is it?" Came his weak voice

"I am Ishitha Singh your boss" I heard a big sound like something fell of a height, if my guess is right he definitely will have a sore ass, I laughed when he started grumbling.

"Get here in twenty Mr. Assistant" With an okay he hang up

God how will I work with this clumsy assistant?

Like I ordered he showed up in twenty with a shit face and dark circles

"Where to boss?"

"To the grocery shop"

"I figured out you are not a morning person jin" I said adjusting my seat belt while he is starting the engine

"Yes" He released a yawn

"You had break fast?"

"Nope" He replied sheepishly

"Okay let's have food first then" He nodded and soon we ended up in a small but comfortable cafe

"Order please?"

"One veg sandwich and one hot cofee" I said scrolling through my phone

"One chicken pasta and one iced cofee" He ordered for himself

"Do you have any plans after shopping?" He asked when we settled at a table with our orders.

"I thought of just roaming around the city"

"Sounds like a plan, you want some company?"

"Why do you sound so excited?" I asked taking a bite from my big veggie sandwich

"My boyfriend is coming this noon" He is grinning

"Good ,so? "

"So? I want to hang out with him freely" He said with dreamy eyes

"So?" I raised my eyes

"We three can roam so that no one will catch my sexuality" He huffed in his seat

"You scared of being homo?" I asked wiping my chin with a tissue

"No, just insecure" He crossed his hands over his chest, and
I smiled

"Okay ask him to come join us then"

"Thank you so much" He squealed

Done eating ,we are heading to a near grocery store to buy the needed stuff for my house

"Where can I find brown rice?" I asked busy typing jin

"Next aisle" He is looking at his phone screen like it's his prey

I picked up everything I needed for a month, this time I will eat healthy, what if I get obese cause of pcod? Ishan will make mockingย  me as his permanent job.

"You done texting your boyfriend?" I am billing my stuff

"He said he can't make it today" He pocketed his phone

"Might be busy" I paid at the counter,100 euros and the young man gave me a small chocolate.

"Today is my birthday" He said

"Oh happiest birthday Mr...? "

"It's Mike Gray, you can call me Mike"

"Oh gray ,british?" I smiled

"Yes" We did a little hand shake and left

"Maybe but he promised, will be here on next weekend" Jin said stuffing bags inside the car

"Start grinning then" He smiled

"We will buy some fruits" I stated

"There is a farmers market nearby we can buy fruits and vegetables there"

"But I already bought vegetables"

"Oops sorry ishitha we will buy there next time then" I glared

"Is this your car?"

"You think I can afford?"He chuckled

"You rented this for today?" I am shocked

"No it is my friend's car I will pay for the gas" He shrugged

"Don't do that next time, we will take a cab and I will pay for gas"

"No need ish"

"My dad is a millionaire and the short form is nice"

"Rich girl huh?"

"Privileged,just privileged"

After arranging every thing in cupboards I plopped on sofa exhausted while jin on the floor

"Want some cofee?"

"You still have energy?" I wonder out loud

"Always for coffee" I shrugged

After sipping on our coffees, we headed out to roam

Museum, beach, park were all we are able to visit in our planned time

And let me tell you jin is so fun to hang out with, we cannot stop talking and commenting on anything and everything

"Let's go for take out we will eat at my home" I exhaled pasting my body to car seat

"Yeah" We ordered some fresh salad and chicken fried rice

"You start eating I will be back in a second" I said and went to my bedroom

"I will wait for you"

After using washroom I retired to living room to join jin but he is too busy working on television to see me walking out of the bedroom

I picked up two plates and a bowl a water bottle, glasses ,forks and spoons, I plopped on couch facing tv.

"If you are done being einstein we will start eating"
He turned back with a frown

"Just a minute" And resumed his little experiment on TV

In the mean time I served food into plates and bowl

"Yeah" His shout didn't reach my ears amidst TV sound

We ate not in silence, jin literally cried watching heroin on death bed

"See you at office boss" He saluted while leaving

This time I slept well without any of my mind playing images and memories of him.

Next day I was up early, made myself a healthy breakfast, and office car came to pick me up around eight thirty.

By nine I am at office

Staff members welcomed me with flowers and bouquets

"Welcome Ms. Singh glad to have you on board" The manager said in his thick Italian accent

"Thank you so much" I smiled, a professional and practiced one.

"After introductions meet me in my office,we will discuss about the upcoming projects" He said it with a smiling face but the tone is intimidating like 'you are my employee so do as I say' then with a nod he left.

"Come let's see your cabin boss" Jin urged me excitedly

"Wow it's big" He nodded

"You quite got admirers boss" I glared at him playfully
"And yes this company has many Italian men be aware, they are handsome but dangerous" We laughed at his joke

I admired my office room for few minutes and went to see the main boss

"Come in" His deep voice said when I knocked on his door

"Good morning Mr. Brown"

"Morning have a seat Ms. Singh" I made myself comfortable on a chair

"And the projects we have to take up are.........." He started


I love Jung kook with all of my heart, so please don't get defensive about the sexuality it's just my imagination.

This gif is so nice that I couldn't stop myself from putting it here ๐Ÿ˜Š
