Her Second-Hand Husband!

Chapter 16: 15. Chasing Thoughts

Arjun's PoV

Remember I have partnered with my friend in his concern? I am now going to Coimbatore to see him. There is a function and he wants me to attend it every year without fail. I agree to this because I like to see the laughs of young people there who don't even know what life holds for them in future. Their laughter is something I envy. It is more pure like a baby's laughter.

"Arjun, welcome." My friend Shravan came to my car.

Shravan and I studied in the same college and he is a son of a minister. That central minister is my dad's friend and that is how we were made friends. When he came to me looking for a financial partner in his new concern, I readily agreed to him because I like looking at the fresh faces. Though I don't visit here often, I never miss this time of the year to attend this function.

"Hi Shravan, How are you da?"

"I am good, da. Everything is ready, we shall start in another half hour. You go and refresh yourself." he said to me while walking to his room.

"I am good da. I need some cold water." I told him.

"I will ask them to bring it to you. You make yourself comfortable. I have something to take care of. I will be back in a few minutes." he told me and left me in his room. I sat back relaxing myself.

"May I come in, Sir?" I heard a girl knocking on the door.

"Yes!" I said and she came in with a glass of water.

I could see shock evident in her face. It's been almost a month, I last saw her. I never expected to see her here. She must have completed her studies and gone out for work. What is she doing here?

"How are you, Anika? How is your dad?" I asked her.

but when Shravan called me for the award distribution in his college where I am one of the chairmen, I decided to show up here as I thought seeing young people will divert my mind. She was there at the reception desk. She gave me a flower bouquet and welcomed me in. She looked so beautiful in the saree and I felt a gentle breeze in my heart seeing her innocent smile. It is true that looks are deceiving. I thought her to be as innocent as she looks but her tongue is like a bee sting! She doesn't know what politeness means. Arrogant girl to be precise. I decided to no longer feel for her teary eyes, but my heart feels a bit odd on that decision. So I altered my decision to find out why she is still here and why the hell she
