I can be ruthless!

"I know! I never thought otherwise! I know my Sora!", Reyhan assured him.

"My Sora! Wow! Interesting! Good to know that!", Aryan chuckled and turned to Sora's room to call her for dinner.

'He is a good friend of hers. Thank god she was in safe hands for last year! I should thank him for taking care of her.' Reyhan thought.

"Thank you for everything! In my absence, you took care of her. Mr. ?", Reyhan asked for his name.

"Aryan! It is my duty as her friend to take care of her. No need to thank me!", he replied politely. Reyhan nodded to him and left to go down where Krish was waiting for him.

'He is the right person for her! There is someone in this world who can handle her cold at the same time angry behavior and still want to pursue her! I like him for her!' Aryan thought while leaving for her room.

When Aryan entered her room Sora glared at him. "Finally, you came. I thought you were going to stand there and talk about useless things with him!", Sora spoke who was irritated with Reyhan's actions.

"Princess Sora, this is not useless. We need to talk about these things too. This is about your future! I was trying to understand him and his situation. So yes, he is a good person. Even though I don't feel any mana around him but his aura was too strong! Like he is the only person capable to stand beside you, even though he is mere human!", Aryan tells her the facts in his serious tone.

"No need to think about my future with him. It is not going to happen anyway! We should focus on our main task Aryan! What happened to the other knights whom I told to recheck the place?", Sora asked to divert the topic.

Aryan sighed, "Oh Yes, they checked it. It seems that they left the place in a hurry and this time we can manage to track them as we got a few clues."

"Really, it's good. Track them fast else they will erase the traces again. They are good at hiding!", Sora was hoping for this. She felt they are close to that person.

While in the car, Reyhan was silent. Krish asked him finally, "How did it go?"

"Good", Reyhan replied with a smirk on his face when he remembered what he did.

Krish was again bothered by this short answer. These last few days Reyhan was the same "no-nonsense" talk person he used to be in past.

"And what about that another man? Is he her...", Krish asked in a low voice.

"No! he is a very good friend of hers. He told me to never give up on her! And his name is Aryan", Reyhan replied.

"Hushh! So he does not take your place, just mine! Still, he took MY cabin and MY position!", Krish was wincing in imaginary pain.

"Don't be like that! He was helping her last year and you see, Sora made our company in the top five of the country. He helped her a lot as we were not there.", Reyhan tried to coax Krish.

"Humm, you are right!", Krish agreed after thinking a while.

"But I want my cabin back!", Krish the drama queen again spoke in his dramatic tone after a pause.

"En...will do!", Reyhan shook his head and replied while looking out of the window.

That night Sora was tossing herself on her bed remembering the incident that took place before some time and the way he was persistent about pursuing her made her restless. And now Aryan is too supporting him which is not good for her!

'I should warn Aryan and Mr. Bob, not to help him. Without any help, he may give up! I will hurt him again and again so that he will not be able to bear it and may leave! Argh! Why do I have to hurt him again and again! Why can't he just take a clue and leave! What are you thinking Sora! You know how he is. He will stick to his words!' she puffed her cheeks.

After thinking sometimes when she remembered those sleepless nights wondering where he is gone or if he is okay if something happen in his family or thinking about him, waiting for him or his any kind of reply, she decided to not give him chance and let him leave. Anyway, that is good for him. 'But if he wants to face my wrath then let it be, I can be ruthless! I tried my best to be polite. But not anymore. I know he will come tomorrow, and now I am ready this time.'

While in other parts of the city, Reyhan's villa became lively again. He was standing in his room facing a window and looking at night city. He sighed thinking he should have come early to her. His chirping and excited Sora is nowhere to be seen. She has become the serious working machine that he used to be a year ago.

"This is going to be tough, but everything is worthy because of her! I need to make her what she used to be! If because of me she changed then I should be the one to make everything right! She must have waited for me long!" he murmured.
