The Billionaire's Past

CHAPTER 42

Like what Atif was planning he will visit Haya this evening so after he drove his grandfather home after

their business trip he made an excuse to his grandfather that he will see some friends this evening to

talk about business matters and will probably spend a few hours in a pub just to relax even just for a

while.

Without any questions his grandfather Haris allowed him to go.

After 20 minutes driving, Atif arrived at Haya's place.

He knocked on the door.

After a few minutes Haya opened the door.

Haya was too surprised when she saw Atif standing outside the door of her room.

"Good evening, Amaya." Atif greeted her with a wide smile on his face.

"What are you doing here?" Haya asked and frowned.

"Would you mind if I come in?" Atif said instead of answering Haya's question.

“Okay. Get inside and take your seat." Haya said.

When Atif gets inside the room he sees Haya is cooking dinner.

"Would you mind if I will finish cooking my dinner first. My stomach is rumbling. I'm too hungry." Haya

said.

"It’s okay. No worries." Atif answered.

Then he takes a seat on the stool near the door while Haya goes back to cooking the dinner.

Atif took his phone from his pocket and read some file that was saved on his phone while waiting for

Haya to finish cooking. Again its business related documents.

Because Atif is too afraid that Haya will avoid him or leave again he decided to pretend that he doesn't

know that she is Haya or Aliyah.

He just called by the name that she was using when she arrived in Bosnia. The name Amaya.

He had no plan to tell her that he already knew her secret that she is her long lost friend Haya and a

social media friend Aliyah at present.

He will just pretend that he wants to become her friend so he visits her again.

Atif sees on Haya's face that she got too surprised when he saw him. Maybe because he never told her

yesterday that he will be around here this evening. Instead he made an excuse that he will be busy so

he doesn't know if he can go back here again. He does that because he senses that she will serve him

drinks or food that he doesn't like whenever he comes around. So to avoid that situation he decided to

stop seeing her. But that was yesterday when he didn't know that she was Haya. Now she understands

how she knew that he doesn't like tea. He knew Haya just wanted to annoy him so that he would not go

back to her place.

Atif notices the change in Haya's attitude as if she doesn't care about him now unlike when he was a

little boy.

Atif misses her smile and care way back when before when they were young.

Atif wonders if Haya doesn't really care about him at present or she doesn't want to show it because

she doesn't want anybody to know her secret that she is Haya.

After a few minutes Haya is finished cooking the dinner.

Atif notices that Haya is preparing the food on the table. She put two plates, and two sets of utensils on

the table.

"Meaning she will invite me to eat dinner here." Atif thought while watching what Aliyah is doing.

Atif didn't notice that he is staring at Haya because he is thinking what she will do this time to annoy

him. But Atif promised to himself that he will not give up. He will still visit Haya and make friends with

her. It doesn't matter to him now if she will always do some things that make him annoyed. He always

waited and wished that she would see Haya again. Now that it happened he will treasure every

moment that they will be together.

But aside from that Atif is looking at Haya because he is confused about what he felt about Haya.

He considers Haya as a friend but he slowly falls in love with her other identity, Aliyah.

Atif admits that her feeling for Haya as Aliyah is much stronger. He hopes that at present they can be

more than just friends.

Atif is hoping that Haya will give him a chance to become her fiancé.

Atif got too surprised when he heard Haya talk and asked him. He nearly falls on the stool where he is

sitting. He felt a little bit embarrassed because of that.

“Why are you staring at me?!" Haya asked.

Atif cleared his throat and composed himself before he answered the question of Haya.

“Nothing to worry about, I 'm just watching you prepare the dinner. Just wondering if you're going to

invite me to eat dinner here because you put two dishes on the table." Atif explained.

Haya folded her arms on her chest and frowned and looked directly to Atif’s eyes.

Because of that Atif felt shy so he lowered his head and pretended that he was checking some

messages on his phone to find an excuse.

He can't look directly into Haya's eyes.

Atif doesn't know why he felt shy in front of Haya.

Haya is the only woman who made him lose his self-confidence.

If he is in front of another woman he didn't feel and behave like this because he knew that they can't

resist him because Atif knew how good looking he is.

But Haya is different. As if she doesn't even notice how good looking he is.

Atif continues to pretend that he is really reading some messages on his phone. He just looked up

when Haya snatched his phone and put it inside her pocket.

Atif can do nothing. He can't get his phone from Haya.

Atif didn't expect that Haya would do that.

Atif didn't expect that Haya grew up like this with some rudeness in her attitude. She is far from Haya

that he knew when he was a child.

Atif was speechless because of Haya's action.

He just smiled a little bit and shrugged his shoulders then crossed his arms on his chest. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Haya sits on the chair beside the small dining table after snatching the phone from Atif. She started

getting some food and put it on her plate.

Then before she begins to eat she invites Atif to eat dinner.

“Come on. Let’s eat dinner." Haya said.

"Alright." Atif said then he stood.

He comes near the dining table and sits on the opposite chair in front of Haya.

As soon as Atif sits, Haya gets some food and puts it on Atifs plate.

Again Atif could do nothing when Haya put some foods on his plate that he doesn't want to eat. He will

just force himself to eat the food even if he doesn't like the taste.

Atif admits that Haya's behavior this time tests his patience but he can take it. He will take all the

rudeness that she has to give just to have a chance to be with her.
