Arheana's Pov

  "Flight attendants, prepare for landing please. Cabin crew, please take your seats for landing." As the pilot informed us the temperature and time of our destination.

New York City.

  The place where all the biggest and respectable companies are standing in the middle. The dream place of all talented and smart professional employees.

    My dream place...my home.

  "Hey, Arheana aren't you looking for a new job in New York once we settled there?" Maria asked me while I'm busy stowing our luggage underneath of the seat in front of us.

  "Yes, I will. Why?" I answered to her question without looking at her.

  " I think I've found one for you." She said in an energetic tone.

  As I heard what she said I turned to look at her direction and asked, "Okay. How do you found me a job? We're still here inside the plane. How did you do that?" I said to her raising my eyebrows, doubt visible on my face.

  She rolled her eyes to my question which made me laughed. She shook her head and got back to the newspaper she was reading. I got curious to what she was reading since the attendants gave it to her, She didn't stop reading it. She seems so busy and ignored me again.

  As I returned on our luggage again she suddenly bring the newspaper in front of me. I looked at her as I got surprised to her action. Then she pointed on the newspaper where an article written.

  "Look at this. I'm sure you're fit on this position." She smiled at me with sparkling eyes. I felt all my hair in my arms stood with this look. She wiggled  her beautiful eyebrows she lined with brown eyebrow pencils. I decided to look at the newspaper and read the article.

The El,

With this name written on top of the job post my eyes widened in disbelief. The company that I dreamt to work on abruptly took the newspaper on Maria's hand to read it carefully.

  " It is your dream. You have an opportunity to make it real. Try it Arheana. I know you can pass the interview and your beautiful." Maria's persuasion.

  "I doubt that. They only hired those top students and employees who came from top companies like they are. You know that even I got honors back in college I didn't got a chance to work on big companies." I sigh with the realization that I'm not qualified to their standards. After I graduated in college I worked at a small company back in our hometown Las Alcobas, California. The place is in country side of California. I do really wish I could work at this kind of company.

   The El is not just an ordinary company, they actually the most leading company of all companies around the world. If I can work with them I can assure a good future for myself. And it always remind me of a special person to my heart...my first love, My El.

  With this thought I gave back the newspaper to Maria.

  " Try it Arheana. We're not sure if they will not hire you, right? I believe to your abilities. Just try it, please." She held my hand and pout her lips with teary eyes just like a small child to convince me.

  I know that I can't ignore her with this look. I love this girl being my best friend. I remember when I was 10 year oId my grandmother died. My parents decided to take me home with them in California. My first day in my new school, I kept myself away from other children I'm always alone and sad but Maria kept on asking me to join her and her friends until one day I decided to come along with them to play. That's how our friendship started. I took a deep breath before I shake my head in to a nod. She hugged me and let out a scream we got the attention of other passengers inside the plane, I covered her mouthed with my right hand to stop her.

  " You can pass the interview I assure you. You're a talented and smart girl." She said after she calmed down.

  " We can't be sure. But I will try my best. Thank you for your support." Smiling at her.

   " Don't be so negative, okay. You can do it I know and I believe in you." She keep on boosting my confidence. I hugged her and thank her.

 I looked outside the window to see the whole beautiful sight of New York City. A trance of the past came back to me as I gaze outside.

  The past,

  "Arheana wake up you! It's time to go to school." Grandmother called for me.

  I rubbed my eyes and open it slowly. I take off the blanket out of my body and wear my comfortable small slippers. I took a bath at my bathroom inside of my bedroom. After taking a bath I put on my school uniform and shoes. I lifted my back pack in my right shoulder and walked down the stair. As I landed at the base of the stair I walked straight to the kitchen and kissed my grandmother. I took the seat at the counter and waited for my breakfast. Grandmother cooked pancakes and bacons for me. She make me a glass of milk so I can grow faster well that's what she always told me. I ate my breakfast quietly and thank her. She walked me out at our gate. I kissed her and say goodbye. I walked the road leading to our school. My school is near at our house that's why I preferred to walk while greeting our  neighbors watering their plants. I passed the house next to our house, I suddenly take a stop at the third house as I noticed the luggage and new furnitures outside of it. I know it is vacant for almost a month now. Well it looks like we have a new neighbors.

   I walked towards the gate of the house to greet our new neighbors. I looked inside the garden to see if there's anyone out, so I can greet them and introduce myself to them. As I looked at the garden I saw the most handsome boy I'd ever seen. He was sitting on a bench outside the house while reading a book. He's wearing a black shirt and black shorts which he paired with white sneakers. His black hair was combed neatly it was cut short just like a perfect student. He has a red lips, brown orbs , and a nose that are perfectly sculpted. I took a deep breath as I feel my heart beats rapidly at the beautiful sight in front of me. Suddenly he raised his head and turned in my direction as he heard me taking a deep breath. He stared at me with his beautiful brown orbs then he smiled. My cheeks flushed in red when I saw his smile. That was the most beautiful smiles I ever see in my life.

 At that moment I knew this boy took my heart. He's my first love. My one and only man. My El.

  " El I'm back." I whispered to myself.

Remembering the person I left in this city.

  "Arheana, we're here."Maria flick her fingers in front of me. That cut me off from my thoughts.

  "Oh yeah." I said.

  " Where did you go a minute later? Did your man took you for a date?" Maria smiled teasingly at me.

 " I just remember him. I'm thinking if he still remember his friend." I answer to her question. Maria knew my story when I was a child and I told her the story of my first love.  

  "He still remember you, okay. That beauty of yours is not easy to forget so cheer up girl." I nod and smile.

  We got up from our seats and carried our luggage. As I walked passed our seats I saw the newspaper on Maria's seat. I grabbed and folded the newspaper before I shove it in my shoulder bag.

  We grab a cab once we're out of the airport. I occupy the seats at the back, Maria took the seat at the front passenger side. I looked up at name on top of the tallest building in the middle of the city. THE EL.

                      Chapter 2

               NEW BEGINNING

  Maria gave the address of my apartment to the driver as the car drove on the road. We live separate  here in New York as I want to live alone and to be independent. As for Maria's case, his brother is currently working here as a manager in a pub . He let Maria come with me here in city but in one condition and that is Maria needs to live with him in his place to assure my best friends safety. They both asked me to live with them but I politely declined their offer to me. I want to have my privacy and I want them to bond as siblings alone. They separated for almost 3 years now.

After an hour and a half of drive, we reached  the building of my apartment ,my new home...New York, yes...I'm home. It's been 16 years since I left.

  " I'm home El. Do you still remember me?" I whispered to myself sadness cross my eyes.

  "Arheana, don't forget to call me." Maria told me. I nod at her as an answer before getting off the car. The driver helped me on my luggage. I walked towards the passenger side of the cab to hug Maria before I bid her goodbye for the day.

  "I will call you once I settled my luggage in my new place, take care." I kissed her on her right cheek.

  " Don't forget about the job we discussed. Give it a try okay?" She remembered it ,I nod at her.

  After bidding goodbye's the cab take off on the road. I walked inside the building to look for the landlady. After seeing the landlady at the first floor, we talked about the contract and she gave me the key and my door number for my apartment. I take the stairs to go up on the third floor where my new place is located. Well for a small building like this they don't have elevator not like those luxury condominiums which I can't afford on my current situation. I take 5 minutes of climbing the stairs up to the third floor because of my high heeled boots plus me carrying my luggage. As soon as I reached the front of my door I insert my key to its keyhole and opened it.

   Well my apartment consist of a living room which is painted in white it has a three sitter sofa with a mini glass table and 32" LED television hanged on the  wall. On the left side of my living room is my cute mini kitchen it is also  painted in white and combined with woody color of the chairs, dining tables and cabinets. The dining table placed in the center of the kitchen. There's two doors on the right side of the refrigerator one is for the bathroom and the other one is for the lavatory area.

   At the right side of my living room is my bedroom it's also painted in white and combined with plain brown carpeted floor. My bed is a twin sized bed at the right side of the bed is the window and on its left side is the side table with a lamp shade on top of it. There's two doors inside of my bedroom one for my small walk in closet and the other one is my personal bathroom which has a bathtub and shower. My apartment is good for someone who lives alone just like me.

  After inspecting my new place, I brought my luggage inside of my bedroom and took out my clothes and other stuffs to arranged in my walk in closet. After arranging everything, I searched for my shoulder bag as I remember to give Maria a call and to check for her. While searching for my phone inside of my bag I saw the folded newspaper and took it out. I scanned the job post and think about it. I've decided to check my calendar to see the date and I just got shocked as I saw that today is Tuesday and tomorrow is the day for the interview. As I got my phone I dialled the number  to make a call to the company of THE EL.

   After three rings a woman's voiced answered my call.

 "Hello, this is THE EL company! I'm Rose from front desk. How may I help you?" As the receptionist greets me on the other line.

  "Oh hi! I'm Arheana Romano. I want to ask if there's still a slot for the interview tomorrow?" I asked while my heart beats so fast as I got nervous.

  "Let me check Miss." I waited for her in just thurty seconds and she came back at me.

"Yes Miss Romano, we still have two slots for the interview. Do you want me to reserve one for you?" She asked me in a friendly tone.

 I smiled. "Really? Please do reserved me one slot for the interview." Thinking that I can have a chance to go for the interview I can't help myself not to smile happily.

  " Okay Miss Romano. I will reserve one for you. Be here at 7 in the morning."

   " Okay, thank you so much." Before I pressed the call end button she called for me.

  " Oh! Wait Miss Romano, can you kindly bring your resume here now. We need to send your resume at the Human Resources for the line up for the interview tomorrow."

  " Okay Miss , I'm going there right now. Thank you so much." After we ended our conversation. I took my key and resume before taking the step down the stairs. I call a cab and give the address of the company.

  This is the new beginning of my life as an independent person away from my parents.

Chapter 3

Missing her...

  In the middle of New York City there's an empire state building known as "THE EL". It was established six years ago, it became the most well known and richest company in the world.

   At the highest floor of the building there's a person standing inside of it with a pair of brown orbs looking at the whole city. He's the well known business tycoon who owned the building. Raphael Bamford a multi billionaire and bachelor, famous in his abilities and achievements in business world. Also known for being cruel and arrogant.

Raphael's pov

  It's been sixteen years since the last time I lived here. When I was twelve years old my mom and dad decided to bought a house here. Back then we lived as an ordinary family, dad used to work in a small company as a clerk and my mom did her duties as a good housewife and mother. We're happy living a simple life as long as we're together. But fate doesn't make it possible for us to be complete. Somethings happen in our lives that we didn't expect to come. Just like what happened to my family, it took everything to me. I left this place to live in England and I left without saying goodbye to the person that I love. Looking at the glass wall of my office, I can't stop thinking about the past.

  Sixteen years ago,

  "El!", I turned around to see her angelic face. She let out a sob while walking towards me.

  "What are you doing here?", I asked her looking at her teary eyes. I lifted my small hand to touched her face . It so soft and smooth like the petals of flowers.

 "Why are you crying?", I asked her again as she didn't answered my first question. She looked at me with her green orbs and her tears rolled down to her cheeks as she cried silently. I felt my heart clenched in pain seeing her crying. I wiped her tears with my thumb.

 "I'm sorry", the only two words she said to me. She hugged me tightly that I felt her pain. Her hugs lead to my tears to flow unstoppable. All the sorrow and pain that I had kept in my heart in those three days of mourning after the death of my mom and dad came out of my heart. I cried to her shoulders while she hugs me to keep me warm, to support me. Her little hands cupped my face and kissed all my tears away . It made me froze for seconds.

 "Stop crying El. I don't want to see you crying." She said to me, wiping my tears with her soft hands. I met her gaze as she looked at me.

  She is my light, my happiness, my angel. My twelve year old heart kept and treasured her in the deepest part of it. She always gave me those sweet and beautiful smile that keeps me happy and strong. I know in my heart that I love this little angel, this little girl. I will do everything to keep her in my life, in my heart, in my mind...only for me.

  I took out a necklace in my pocket and put it to her neck. She looked at me with confusion in her eyes.

  "I'm giving you the necklace." I said to her with a smile.

 "But it's your mom's necklace. It's important to you. She left it to you to treasure and keep it. I can't take it." She said as she started to take it off.

 "No, don't take it off, please. You're important to me. I want you to keep it. I'll be happy if you'll accept it. So, please accept it." I told her while holding her hands to stop her on taking it off. She stared at me and sighed as she finally accepted the necklace.

"Okay, I will keep it for you." She smile at me.

  That was the last time I saw her, after the funeral of my parents my grandparents took me. And they convinced me to lived with them in England. That is also the time when I knew that my father is the only son and heir of my grandparents. My dad rebel to them because they don't want to accept my mother as she came from an ordinary family. They looking for us when they finally accepted my mother. But before they found us my parents face an accident that leads to their death.

Present,

  I was disturbed from the trance of my past of someone who knocked at the wooden door of my office.

  "Come in." I command to the person at the other side of the door.

  "President, the members of the board are all in the conference room. They're waiting for you." I turned around to see peter who's standing in front of my desk.

  "Okay. Let's go." I said as I walked straight to the door out of my office.

  The moment we got out of my office Peter informed me about the interview for my new personal secretary.

  "President, tomorrow the HR department will conduct an interview to find you a suitable personal secretary. I'm sorry for what Miss Wright did yesterday." He said as he followed me walking to the hall. I keep on walking straight where my personal elevator located.

  We walked inside the elevator, he stand in the side of elevator button and press the down button for 20th floor.

  "Make sure the incident with Miss Wright won't happen again. Don't repeat your mistake on hiring Miss Wright. I don't want any troubles and disturbance in my company especially in my office." I looked at him as I warned him for what happened yesterday in my office.

   Yesterday I came back at two in the morning from an important business meeting abroad I went straight to my office. I planned to sleep and have some rest in my penthouse at my office before I attending this board meeting. When I opened the door of my office I caught the sight of my secretary lying on top of my desk naked, with her legs spread wide. Her pussy facing my office door giving me the view of her hole while she finger fucked herself. She let out moan while looking at me. Instead to reduced my jet lag my blood boiled in anger. I stepped towards her which she thought she made me turned on with her body.

  I saw how she smirked thinking that she successfully seduced me. To her surprised I grabbed her right arm with more force and dig my fingers to her skin. I kicked her out of my office with her naked body. I feel disgusted to her action and fired her.

  Now Peter should find me a suitable secretary who's decent and have self respect. And won't be attracted to me.

  We stepped out of the elevator once we arrived at the 20th floor. We walked at the hall and reached the door for the conference room. Peter opened the door for me.

  "President." Peter said bending his head forward to give me a bow. All the members of the board rise on their seats and greet me simultaneously.

  "Good morning President!", they greet as they bend their heads down forward in respect.

  "Good morning everyone." I greeted them back. Nodding my head.

  "Let's start the meeting." I pulled my chair and sit on it.

                         Chapter 4

                       Encounter

Raphael's pov

   The meeting last for five hours. It's twelve in the afternoon when I decided to finished the meeting.

  We got out of the room and walked in the elevator.

"Peter drive me at the mansion. I will take some rest." I said to Peter.

 " Yes, President." he press the down button for the first floor.

  Peter and I walked passed the front desk. The girls in the front desk greet me with a smile. I ignored their flirtatious eyes as they looked at me.

  I continue to walked passed them as I heard a receptionist say the surname of the caller. I suddenly stopped on my track and listened to the receptionist as she ended the call.

  "Oh! Wait Miss Romano, can you kindly bring your resume here now. We need to send your resume at the Human Resources for the line up of the interview tomorrow." The receptionist ended the call and looked up at me with a surprised look. As she noticed me standing in front of the desk listening to her conversation with the person at the other line.

  " P-President! G-good afternoon." The receptionist stand up and make a bow in front of me.

  I nod at her. "Romano, Romano." I repeatedly say the surname of the caller in my head as I remember the surname of my little angel. It's the same family name. Remembering her surname I feel my love and longing for her comes again to me. Along with this feelings the sadness of knowing that I can't find her even I have everything in my life but still I can't reach and have her in my life. It's been sixteen years since I started searching for her. Until now I can't find her.

    "President?", Peter called me when he noticed  that I stopped walking with him.

  "Ah... Let's go." I told him as soon as I collected myself again. We continue walking to the elevator that will lead us to the basement parking area. Peter opened the back door of my black maybach for me.

  "President, don't you want to join in interviewing the applicants tomorrow. See if they suits your standards?" Peter asked me while driving my car out of the basement .

  "No. You can handle that thing. I don't have time questioning those applicants." I don't have that much interest talking and flirting with women.

  " Okay, President. I'll just send you their resumes tomorrow morning before we start the interview at eight tomorrow morning. You can scan them President to reduce the numbers we need to screen in the interview." He said convincing me to look for the profile of the applicants.

   "Okay, do what you want. Bring them tomorrow in my office." Is just what I answer to him.

  Peter is not just my personal assistant. He's actually one of my best buddies. He knew how I kept myself away from those women who wish to date me or even dreaming to be in my bed. I don't have time flirting with those models, actresses, and even those women from elite status.

   I'm still waiting for her to come back to me. I'm still searching for her. I only want her, only her.

  "Okay, I will bring them tomorrow to your office. I will choose the most beautiful for you to choose." He give me a smirk.

  " I'm not choosing a wife here, okay. You don't have to choose. What I need is a secretary. And you know that I don't want to have any relationship with other woman." I said while looking outside the window. Hoping that I can see her at the side of the road. Standing there waving and smiling at me but it never happened.

   What I see is the back of a woman standing in front of the building of my state empire. She's looking up at the name of my company. She's wearing a black jean that suits her long sexy legs and hug her delicious butts. On her top she wear a white shirt which is fitted to her curvy body she paired her attire with a brown leather high heeled boots that reaches her ankles.

    I can say the woman's body is perfect at the back as the curves of her body are all in right places. She has a long brown hair with big curls and tied up in one high pony tail. I'm curious in what she looks like when she turned around. Is she looks like my little angel? But before the woman turned around my phone ring. I answered the call which is from my grandparents asking me if I'm doing good here.

    There's something in the woman that attracts me to look at her again. When I decided to look again at the woman she disappeared. I felt disappointed when I didn't see her. Maybe because I'm hoping that the woman I saw is my little angel. I closed my eyes while thinking the back of the woman.

  "Bro, I need to stop at the nearest market. I remember mom asked me to buy some goods she needs for her cupcakes. Do you want me to buy groceries too for your penthouse at the office?" Peter asked me before he turned at the entrance of the grocery mart.

  " Just do what you need to do. I will wait for you here." He got out of the car and walked in the entrance of the mart. I leaned my head at the back seat and closed my eyes to take a nap.

    After thirty minutes I woke up and opened my eyes. I pulled up my head and looked outside the window to see if Peter have finished buying groceries. As I'm about to turned my head at my side my eyes took a glim the figure of the woman I saw standing in front of my building. Her back facing me, I looked at her at the side mirror of my car and I waited for her to turn around. After a minute she turned around and I see the most beautiful woman I'd ever see. Her green orbs brings a familiar feeling to me. Her nose are perfectly sculpted and she has those pink lips which looks so sweet. I looked at her slender neck and my eyes got wide as I saw the thing hanging on to her neck. It was the necklace I gave to my little angel. I feel tears forming in my eyes as I looked at her.

   "Arhean." I whispered her name. I saw her waving hopping at the cab when I collected myself. I opened the door of my car and walked out. I run and shout her name.

   "Arhean!!! Arhean!", I called her name as I run fast chasing the cab. But the cab crossed the intersection and the traffic lights turned to go signal for the cars. I didn't got the chance to chase after them. I felt my tears that I'm holding back when I'm running roll down my cheeks. A few minutes ago I can reach her but now I lost her again.

   "Raphael!", I heard Peter calling me. I walked back at the car. Peter looked at me with confusion on his face as he saw my gloomy face.

  "Bro, are you alright?" he asked me in concerned tone.

  " I saw her." Is all I can say. I saw how he got surprised on what I told him. Peter knew how much I love my angel.

  "Really?! Where is my sister-in-law?", he asked me. He looked around to see where she is but she left again.

  "I lost her again. I didn't got the chance to talk to her. She left in a cab." I informed him.

  "Huh?", his mouth hanged open in disbelief.

  "Bro, do you want me to search for her?", he asked me again.

  "Yes, please. Do find her as soon as possible." I ordered him.

  I hopped in the car and closed my eyes. I still remember her beautiful face, a smile formed in my lips.

  "Finally you came back. I'll do everything to find you." I whispered as I promised to look for her no matter what it takes.

                     HOPE

Arheana's pov

  The cab reached the building of THE EL exactly twelve in the afternoon. As I got out from the cab I walked towards the entrance of the building.

  "Good afternoon ma'am." The guard greet me.

  "Good afternoon sir. I'm looking for the front

desk. Miss Rose asked me to bring my resume here." I greet him back and inform him where I'm heading.

  "Just walk straight ma'am, you can see the front desk after the next door."

  "Thank you, sir." I smiled at him before I continue to walk.

  I passed the next door and walked towards the front desk. While I'm walking I saw the back of two men who wore tailored suits. The one at the right side has a broad shoulders, he's about 6'3" feet tall and he has a perfect built. His jet black hair was cut short above his nape and neatly combed. The man on his left side is a few inches smaller than him I think the man is 6'1" feet in height. The man also has a nice built. Before I gave a smile on three women behind the desk, I looked again at the two men who was walking towards the elevator. As I reached the desk for the  receptionist three beautiful women greet me with a smile. I smiled back at them.

  "Good afternoon, ma'am. How can I help you?" One of the receptionist greeted and asked me.

  "Good afternoon, Miss. I'm looking for Miss Rose. She asked to me bring my resume here for the interview tomorrow." I said to the receptionist. While looking at the three women I can assure that this company really hired those who are best of the best. This three receptionist are really beautiful. They look like those models in the magazine who took the chance to work here instead of having a dream to be a model.

  "Oh are you Miss Romano ma'am?" The receptionist stood up and asked me.

  "Yes, ma'am." I nod my head as I answered her.

  "I'm Rose the one who you've talked on the phone." She extended her hand to me. I took her hand and shook it.

  "It's nice to meet you, Ma'am. Here's my resume." I gave my resume to her. She took it from my hand and filed it in a folder on top of the desk.

  "You're efficient Miss Romano. Just be here tomorrow at seven in the morning and don't be late." She reminded me.

  "Thank you, Ma'am. I'll definitely go for the interview tomorrow." I thanked her.

  "That's great, Miss Romano." She said with a smile.

  "Thank you so much, Ma'am for giving me the slot."

  "You're welcome. If you'll pass the interview we'll be co-workers. Good luck."

  "Thank you. I will take my leave first, Ma'am." I said . She nodded her head. I walked out at the exit door.

  Now I'm standing outside the building and looking at the name written on it.

  "I'll do my best to pass in the interview tomorrow... THE EL." I whispered to myself. At the sight of the name on the building, I remember a boy smiling at me and holding my hand while we're walking towards an aisle.

 "I miss you, El. I hope I can see you here just like how I look at your name on top of this building." Tears started to form in my eyes. I touched the necklace hanging on to my neck. I felt my heart clenched in pain thinking that I've never had any news about him. He didn't say goodbye to me before he left.

  I wiped the tears rolling on my cheeks and turned to walked. As I looked at the road I saw a black maybach driving passed in the front of the building. I looked at it and I saw the side of the man who I remember took the elevator inside the building. I can't take my eyes looking at him. Just like his perfect back his face was perfectly sculpted he has a sharp jaw and a perfect nose. His lips are kissable red and even they are not smiling it looks like they are. I didn't get the chance to see his eyes.

  I'm in a daze in a few minutes because of the man who seated in the back of the car. I shook my head to keep him out of my mind.

  Before I go back in my apartment I decided to buy groceries I need in my apartment. I called a cab and asked the driver to take me in the nearest grocery mart.

  After twenty minutes of picking goods for myself, I walked to the counter to pay the items in my grocery cart. I saw a cute teenage girl standing on the other side of the counter who I think one of  the cashier in this grocery mart.

  "Good afternoon ,Ma'am." The girl greeted me.

  "Good afternoon. I will pay for my groceries." I said to her.

  "Cash or card, ma'am?" she asked me and took my cart to scan all the items I'm going to pay for.

  "Card, please." I handed my card to her. She take it from me and swiped it. She gave me the receipt and asked for my signature. She packed all the items I bought and handed it to me.

  "Thank you, Ma'am. Hope you can come again in our store."

  "Thank you. I'll surely come back here again because of your good service." I smiled at her and thanked her. As I turned around I bumped to a man.

  "Oh, I'm sorry sir." I apologized to the man I bumped on.

  "It's okay Miss." The man smiled at me and accepted my apology. I looked at him and observed his face. He's wearing eyeglasses which suits his face, he's eyes are ocean blue. His face looks soft and friendly.

   After observing his face I gave him a smile. I nodded my head before I passed him and walked out of the mart.

   I stood at the side of the road near the parking area of the mart. I wave my hand as soon as I saw a cab driving on the road. Before the cab took a stopped near me, I turned around and took a glimpse of a familiar car. The black maybach that I saw passing in front of the company of THE EL a while ago.

   I looked at the back of the car hoping to see the face of the man who seated in it. His back facing me, I took off my attention from the maybach when the cab stopped at my side. I turned to my left and opened the door in the back seat. I hopped in the cab and closed the door. I told the driver the address of my apartment and we start moving on the road.

  As soon as my butt felt the soft touch of the back passenger seat  I leaned my back and closed my eyes. I felt exhausted and the jet lag I got from our flight. I felt the car moving.

   I opened my eyes and saw that we passed the cross road. The traffic light switched to green color giving the cars on the other lane a go signal. As the cars on the road started to moved I heard someone shouted, calling my name.

   "Arhean!!! Arhean!", I turned my head. Trying to see who called me.

  "Sir, can you please stop." I asked the driver to stop. He turned on the left side of the road and took a stopped. I got down from the cab. I saw cars passing the road across our path. I didn't see anyone.

   "El."

 I sigh.

   I walked back towards the cab. I seated again inside the cab and told the driver to continue driving. I looked out the window I remember El, he used to call me Arhean because he wants to be the only one who called me in a name other people don't used to.

  "El, I hope it is you who called me. I miss you so much." I whispered and hold the pendant of my necklace necklace. I need to prepare for tomorrow's interview. I should pass the interview.
