A promise: That changed my life

Daniel

My flight finally landed back on the ground after 17 fucking hours, I hate long journeys especially when I want to reach somewhere fast. Thankfully, I quickly got a cab which lightens up my frustrated mood to the hotel where Anjali currently staying, she sent me the address soon after I told her that I am coming over there to meet her, she didn't deny me which I thought she will, instead she thanked me and hung up.

I have been here recently for Karan's reception but at that time I was just way too happy for him and now too worried, he is stubborn to forgive and help Anjali I don't know why his ego, attitude always comes up, why can't he just let go of his past and being a human again than a heartless devil.

"We are here, Sir, " The driver spoke, Indicating at the hotel in front of me. It was one of the most massive and lavish hotels I have been to.

I nodded, paying him his fair share, I immediately made my way to the hotel reception, finding a cute receptionist who was smiling at me.

"Hello, Sir, how may I help you?" She asks, I snapped my thoughts, this is not the time to hit on a girl, C'mon, Daniel!

"I want to meet Mrs. Ajali Rai, " She gave me a slight nod at my request as she processed something on her computer before calling someone. They talked in Hindi as she looked back at me, putting down the phone.

"She is room no. 304, " 

"Thank you, " With that, I instantly took the elevator as I stepped outside the 3rd floor, wandering towards the right side, I promptly found it. I inhaled a deep breath before knocking on the door.

Why am I getting nervous?!

I heard the footsteps approaching the door, with a slight thump it opened, revealing Anjali with a big smile on her face but it suddenly lessened as she began to find Karan with me, but I noticed some scars around her face and near shoulders as well.

"He's not with me, "I spoke her thoughts aloud, she looked at me, surprised as she nodded in understanding.

"Come, " She said, allowing me. I walked inside her room, it was a one-bedroom apartment to be real, "It's very stupid of me to expect Karan after what happened, no?" She spoke, guiltily.
