He is back!

"You?", Sora asked who was shell-shocked to the core. Her eyes widened in the horror. 'Am I hallucinating?' She asked herself. But when he stopped in front of her and gave the same vibes she knew it was him.

Her legs started to wobble a little as she does not expect the person Yug is talking about will be him. She didn't expect to meet him here, who was disappeared for a good long year. And he will be the last person she wants to see as things are different now!

"Yes, I am! How have you been Sora?", he asked with his soft smile and eyes filled with love which can still flutter her heart! He was surprised too when he saw her but he was happier to see her back.

"You two know each other, Miss Brook?", Yug asked with surprise at the way he mentioned her first name casually looking back and forth between both of them.

All the emotions started to appear on her face in a fraction of seconds which was only seen by him as she faced her back to Yug. Firstly she was shocked. Then she was happy as he is okay, then again she felt anger as he left without any talk and lastly frustrated as she has to behave as he is nothing to him. She composed herself in those seconds and suddenly she looked calm even a tornado was forming inside her head!

"Yes!", he answered.

"No!", she spoke.

He looked at her surprised while asking 'What happened?' with his eyes.

"I mean as you said Mr. Yug, he is a business prodigy, he was part of my last business joint venture in this city M, when I came for business in my initial days. He is the person who helped me a lot to get contracts but later I am not sure where he vanished. As you said, he is more like flying around the world so did not get the chance to know each other well!", Sora explained with her stoic face.

He kept his mouth shut at her explanation, even though it is hurting he can understand she is more hurt because of him. He just nodded to Yug, 'Whatever she says is right!'

"I think I should take my leave, Mr. Yug, as you are the host and there are many guests still unattained, please carry on! Excuse me gentlemen!", and Sora left that circle and strode to exit as fast as she can so no one can follow her to stop for discussion again. Aryan stared at her as he can see she is not stable from the corner and was busy in discussion with other people. He also excused himself from them and followed her.

He saw her retreating back and felt something piercing his heart. When someone followed her behind he was sure that person is her ally when his narrowed eyes scanned Aryan's worried face for her. He stopped at his place when Mr. and Mrs. Mittal greeted him.

"His highness! Glad you were able to come! But you look pale! Where have you been?", Mrs. Mittal spoke softly even though they are family friends and she saw him growing up, he is the prince and next king of their kingdom.

"Please, don't call me his highness aunt. We are family!", he replied politely.

"We know, but we need to regard your position as you are the next king of our home country!", Mr. Mittal chimed in.

"Where have you been? I am glad you are back. Please stay for some more time as I may need your guidance to do business with Miss Brook, brother!", Yug spoke in his flattering tone.

Just then someone came into the circle hurriedly and whispered into his ear, "I saw her, I saw Ms. Sora just now who left with someone!"

He nodded at him but ask him to keep shut his mouth with his eyes.

"En...I am back for a long time...Yug!", the way Yug spoke he can see his interest in Ms. Brook. 'So don't worry I will be there to guide you for sure!', he spoke in his mind.

"Thank you so much Reyhaan! You are the savior! And of course you too Krish! Welcome back!", Yug spoke excitedly.

When Aryan saw Sora sitting inside the car he hurried to the driver's seat. She knows he followed him, so she sat in the passenger seat and waited for him. Her aura was disturbed just by his presence!

'He...he is back! But why? WHY NOW?', she cursed inwardly.
