《The Billionaire's Past》 CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 1 Saturday, 2:00 pm in Bosnia and Herzegovina time zone. A drop-dead gorgeous, dark hair young man walking down the stairs heading towards his car. His car looks expensive. His long ck coat glistens in thete afternoon sun. His appearance reveals that he belongs to a wealthy n. Probably his a billionaire. His face disys a strong confidence but in his eyes there is a deep sadness. The moment he reached his car his cellphone chirped and vibrated in his pocket. He pulled it out and stared at the screen. In his messenger. " ? " The message contains only a question mark. He nodded. Trying to recall who the message sender is and what is the missing link. And as far as he remember, it is just an inquiry about his post on social media which at present he is no longer connected. Then he decided to reply. ¡°You inquire on my post and that was years ago¡± he replied. ¡°Sorry but I don¡¯t remember your post, what is that all about?" the sender replied. ¡°No worries, I¡¯m no longer connected to that business, not anymore." he replied. "Okay. Where are you from?" the sender asked. "I''m from Bosnia and Herzegovina" he said. "Sorry, I¡¯m not familiar" the sender replied. ¡°It is in Europe." he said. "Okay." the sender said. ¡°How about you where you from?" asked the young man. He get inside his car while waiting for the reply. Few minutes had passed. Still no answer. He decided to go for his friends are waiting for him at the nearby restaurant . On the other side of the world, In the country where the sender resides is already evening. They have different time zone. The message sender is sleepy now and decided not to reply that¡¯s why the young man got no reply from her. The massager is a woman. A woman who is older than him. She decided not to reply when she read the young man''s country name. For in her mind there are shes of memories which she cannot exined. As if she''s been there before, but what she knew is not and that is impossible. And when she open the profile of the young man and saw his photos, he looks familiar but she cannot remember where or when and how they met. And maybe not. Or maybe yes but a long time ago that she can hardly recall. She¡¯s unsure. Suddenly, because of that thoughts she got headache. She decided to get some sleep to ignore her thoughts about the young man. "Those things are impossible. It never happened." she whispered. And then again she is talking to herself. "I''m just a little unwell today. I have to get some sleep and maybe tomorrow might be good." And then she fall asleep with that thoughts in her head that result to a bad dream. It¡¯s not so surprising that she behave like that for she has a psychological disorder which is called personality disorder. Personality is the way of thinking, feeling and behaving that makes a person different from other people. An individual¡¯s personality is influenced by experiences, environment (surroundings, life situations) and inherited characteristics. A person¡¯s personality typically stays the same over time. A personality disorder is a way of thinking, feeling and behaving that deviates from the expectations of the culture, causes distress or problems functioning, andsts over time. Personality disorders are long-term patterns of behavior and inner experiences that differs significantly from what is expected. The pattern of experience and behavior begins byte adolescence or early adulthood and causes distress or problems in functioning. Without treatment, personality disorders can be longsting. Personality disorders affect the way of thinking about oneself and others, the way of responding emotionally the way of rting to other people, and the way of controlling one¡¯s behavior. There are specific types of personality disorders. One of them is the so called Borderline Personality Disorder. Person with BPD have trouble regting their emotions effectively. They may experience splitting, which is a term that refers to seeing things as all good or all bad. Frequently sees things in ck and white terms, which means things and people are seen as either all good or all bad. They don¡¯t believe good people can be bad sometimes or can make mistakes, which can lead to bing consumed with anger toward people. For them, things, experiences, and people were either all bad or all good, totally wonderful or totally worthless,pletely positive orpletely negative. Splitting is considered a coping mechanism that helps a person with BPD avoid getting hurt. It allows them to discard things and people they have decided are all bad. Splitting is an unconscious attempt to safeguard ego and prevent anxiety. A defense mechanism abandonment. In essence, people with BPD are often terrified that others will leave them. They have an intense fear of abandonment. However, they can also shift suddenly to feeling smothered and fearful of intimacy, which leads them to withdraw from rtionships. The result is a constant back-and-forth between demands for love or attention and sudden withdrawal or istion. Intimacy avoidance describes the degree to which an individual withdraws from close emotional contact from a rtionship partner. As a result an intimacy phobic person, even if she or he did stumble across their ideal partner, they wouldn¡¯t choose them. Intimacy phobias are after one thing, and that is to avoid being hurt. This suggests that romantic rtionships with people with BPD are more likely to end in a breakup. People with borderline personality disorder (BPD) often have rocky rtionships, both romantic and tonic. They experience constant changes in emotions. In short, in a person have BPD, everything feels unstable: rtionships, moods, thinking, and behavior ¡ªeven identity. Self-image, goals, and even likes and dislikes may change frequently in ways that feel confusing and unclear. In addition, people with BPD often experience a profoundck of self-image and self-concept. They may feel like they don¡¯t know who they are, and their perception of their own identity may vary widely This is from N?velDrama.Org. over time. They might even have trouble seeing their past self, present self, and future self as the same person. They change who they are depending on their circumstances and what they think others want from them. Their thoughts and feelings change to match the current situation. And sometimes they has experienced mild forms of dissociation from time to time. The experiences that go along with dissociation, includes amnesia. The type of temporary amnesia thatst hours, days, weeks, months, or longer. It involves wandering or unnned travel, in which the person may establish a new identity in a new location very different from their old life. This involves people being unable to recall specific information about themselves, often due to a traumatic event or intensely stressful situation. And that is exactly what happened to the message sender. She wandered and developed a new identity in her new home which is very different from her old life. So maybe or maybe not the young man is part of her past but she cannot recall who he is, how they met and where the specific ce is. She can hardly recall. But maybe there will be a chance that she will remember her past for all is temporary. And then she fall asleep with that thoughts in her head, about the young man that result to a bad dream. Her dream is about what happened a long time ago in her life ¡­. CHAPTER 2 CHAPTER 2 Somewhere, Way back in the year 2000¡­. It waste on bitterly cold winter¡¯s evening. A poor little boy was wandering around in the cold streets. He was barefoot. Earlier on he was wearing shoes, but they were too long for his little feet and he lost them while running fast on the icy streets chased by wild dogs. He was now standing on the corner of a very busy street. He was hungry and trembling with cold. The snowkes fell upon his long dark hair which curled prettily around his face. He is a good-looking little boy. For he was hungry and felt so cold he tried to draw attention and beg. "Alms! Alms, give me a piece of bread." ¡°Spare me your mercy!" "Alms!¡± People were passing by but no one looked at him. No one stopped. His little hands were almost dead with cold. He sat down, drawing his feet under his thin clothes, but he was colder than ever. He starve to death. He can bear no more. He stand up and slowly walked towards the trash cans on the side of the street. The boy was searching things from garbage. He found a thing, a stic bag which contains food throw away by some children who passed by. He sits on the street and started eating the food he got from the trash can. On the other side of the street, there is a girl who is standing in front of a fast food building. Her appearance showed that she is nearly in teenage years. Not really a teenager.

He felt ashamed because she saw him eating food from the garbage. She takes him to the fast food and ordered some food and gave it to him. She was still watching the poor little boy who seems so hungry and cold than her. His heart was beating fast. He is hesitant to take the food for he is worried about the bill. ¡°I have no money to pay that¡± he said, almost in whisper. ¡°You don¡¯t have to pay it. It¡¯s yours.¡± The girl said in soft voice. ¡°Thank you¡± he said. His little hand is trembling when he hold the food handed to him by the girl. Then they walked outside the fast food and walked down the snowy street. The girl was about to cross on the other side of the street. But the little boy called her and asked. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going home. Maybe my cousins are looking for me now. They will get angry because I¡¯ll go home herself not to the little boy. The fear suddenly seemed crossed in her pretty face. She walked past and the little boy followed her when she crossed the street. ¡°Wait! What is your name?¡± the little boy said. ¡°I¡¯m Haya.¡± She said without looking at the little boy who followed at her. She is walking towards the bus station. She walked as fast as she could and the little boy almost left behind. The little boy almost running just to catch her. Then she reached the bus station. But before she go up to the bus she turned around. She saw the little boy still followed. But when he saw that Haya is about to ride on a bus he stopped at a distance. He looked sad. Then Haya found herself walking back to the little boy and made a promise. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll be back some other time to see you. Wait for me in front of that fast food where we buy food. The same time at the same day. I will be there.¡± She said and smile to the little boy. ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll wait you there.¡± The little boy promised. Then they walked in separate ways.

She¡¯s renting a room together with her cousin and two friends. They are renting a room for they came from the countryside but their work ce as in the city. And every weekend Aliyah go home to her hometown. In the countryside, Aliyah is living with her 50-year old grandmother Elsa together with her Aunt ra and Uncle Peter with 7 children. Their life in the countryside is not easy. Aliyah belongs to a poor family living nearby the sea. Their way of life is catching fish and selling fish on the market. Her Uncle Peter is a fisherman. Whenever her Uncle Peter go back from fishing, ra her uncle¡¯s wife and her grandmother Elsa sell the catches fish to their neighbor or on the market to earn money for a living. Way back when Aliyah is just a teenager, she is also a fish vendor. But when Aliyah finished her study under the government program called alternative learning system or ALS. It is a parallel learning system that provides a practical option to the existing formal instruction. When one does not have or cannot ess formal education in schools, ALS is an alternate or substitute. ALS includes both the non-formal and informal sources of knowledge and skills. Why is there a need for alternative learning system? Because many children from poor family do not have a chance to attend and finish formal basic education (Grades 1-6 and Year 1-4) due to many reasons. Some drop out from schools while some do not have schools in theirmunities. Since every citizen has a right to free basic education, the government establishes ALS to provide all citizen the chance to have ess to andplete basic education in a mode that fits their distinct situations and needs. From that, Aliyah finished her studies and lend a job in the city. Out of her sry she is helping her family in providing their basic needs. Because of that Aliyah stays single and don¡¯t get married yet. Aside from that she has a personality disorder so finding partner in life is very difficult for her. Her previous rtionship all ends in break up for all men that who became her rtionship partner don¡¯t understand her attitude and behavior. For she always experience constant changes in emotions. In short, for Aliyah, everything feels unstable: moods, thinking, and behavior¡ªeven identity. Even her likes and dislikes change frequently in ways that feel confusing and unclear. As a result her rtionship partner leave her or vice versa. Aliyah wants to say goodbye whenever she noticed there is a change of treatment than usual from her partner. She end the rtionship to avoid the feeling of being hurt or the feeling of being abandon. On the other hand, Atif life is the opposite of what Aliyah have. He is consider as a young billionaire in the society where he belong. He has all possessions that needed in order to be happy or sessful. Atif seemed to have everything ¨C good looks, charm, and plenty of money. CHAPTER 5 CHAPTER 5 The life of Atif¡¯s family. Atif life is the opposite of what Aliyah have. He is consider as a young billionaire in the society where he belong. He has all possessions that needed in order to be happy or sessful. Atif seemed to have everything ¨Che is brainy, good looking, charming, and have plenty of money. His familybined fortune is derivedrgely from stakes held in H & A Summit, which has interests in airlines, shipping or logistics, manufacturing, distributing, marketing, tel, banking, food, and property.

But when Alem died because of brain cancer Haris father take over his position for Alem has no sessor that time because he is an orphan. Even though, Alem has a rumor son. But no matter how Alem searched the child he cannot find his son until hisst breathe he didn¡¯t meet his son. As Alem best friend, Haris promised to him that he will find Alem¡¯s son and he will give the position Alem¡¯s left when he find the child. When Haris father died because of his old age, Haris take over on the position as a chief executive. At present, Haris, Atif grandfather runs H & A Summit as its chief executive.

A holdingpany is a type of financial organization that owns a controlling interest in other The parent corporation can control the subsidiary''s policies and oversee management decisions but doesn''t run day-to-day operations. A holdingpany typically exists for the sole purpose of controlling otherpanies. Holding Those facts shows that Atif belongs to rich and influential family in their society. As mentioned Atif has a stepmother, stepbrother and sister. Sara is Atif stepmother, the mother of Jasmin and Hana. Jasmin and Hana are children of Sara from her previous marriage. They are older than Atif. Atif is the youngest among them. He is consider the only biological son of Mateo and the only legitimate grandson of Haris for Mateo is the only son of Haris.

His life is not normal as other man same of his age. While other have a lot of free time in their hands to enjoy, Atif has a limited time for himself. He is a very busy person. Way back then, as a little boy he needs to study hard until he finished his course in Business Administration major in ountancy with master¡¯s degree in business management and economics. Atif is an ountant, an economist and with the degree of business management he knows how to manage their businesses.

In addition, he sessfully manage their banking and distributing businesses. SO Atif is not just a rich good looking and charming man but he is brainy too. Will Aliyah fall for him when they continue in getting to know each other in chatting? Or Will Atif fall for Aliyah? Well as the saying goes ¡°Everything is possible, even the word impossible says that I¡¯m possible.¡± BUT what if one of them believe in thisw: Thew of holes. Thew of holes, is an adage which states: "if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging". Digging a hole makes it deeper and therefore harder to get out of, which is used as a metaphor that when in an untenable position, it is best to stop carrying on and exacerbating the situation. Will they send message to each other again or they will stop before it¡¯s toote? BUT SOMETIMES IN LIFE destiny is out of control. Cause even though we think we know which way the river flows That is not the way love goes. Like the ticking of a clock, two hearts beat as one But we never understand the way it''s done. Love moves in mysterious ways. It is always so surprising. 2:00 pm Sunday, in Bosnia and Herzegovina time zone. Atif is on his office at H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. He is busy doing his work but from time to time he nce at his cellphone as if she is waiting a message from someone else. But disappointment crossed his face when he see that there is no message from the person he wants to send a message.

It was not ¡°she¡± who send the message but his grandfather, Haris, saying,¡± Atif,e to my office and give me your report¡±. ¡°Yes, Grandpa¡± Atif replied but he can¡¯t almost type his reply for he is disappointed. Before he stand up and grab the folder of his report he whisper something. ¡°I thought Aliyah is messaging.¡± Then he go out from his office and proceed to his grandfather¡¯s office. On the other hand, Aliyah is sleeping and having a bad dream again as usual. Whenever she sleep she always have a bad dream. Her dream is always about the little boy and the girl name Haya.

And it¡¯s already evening but Haya is still doing many stuff. She felt very tired but her Aunt Selma sent her on an errand to buy food at the market. As usual Haya walked fast so that she can do the errand as quick as she could so that her Aunt don¡¯t get angry. Haya was on her way home when she saw a familiar face of a woman.

I¡¯m d I see you again¡±, Haya eximed when she got near to Am. ¡°Haya! Is that you?¡± Am was so surprised when she saw Haya. ¡°What are you doing here in Zenica? I thought you go home at your hometown on Mostar when you stop working as our housemaid in Grandma¡¯s house at Sarajevo.¡± Haya asked Am. ¡°I¡¯m here to find the father of my only son,¡± Am answered. Haya noticed that disappointment crossed Am¡¯s thin face. ¡°You have a son? So where is his father? He didn¡¯t marry you? He leaves you when you are pregnant? Why?¡± Haya asked too many question to Am. ¡°No! I¡¯m the one who leave for I don¡¯t belong where he belong. Alem the father of my son is rich and I¡¯m just belong to a poor family.

For I am a coward I leave Alem and never returned to him.¡± Am told her story with regrets. ¡°You leave? Then why are you looking for him now?¡± Haya asked. She is confused on what Am said. ¡°For I am sick and my condition is worse. And sooner orter I will die Haya. I have lung cancer.

Asked Haya. ¡°Yes, but it¡¯s toote to give him my son for he died three years ago because of brain cancer.¡± Am said in sad voice. Am is about to cry and Haya noticed it. Haya knew that Am is worried about his son. For Haya is a kindhearted girl she offered help to Am. ¡°How can I help you Am?¡± Without any hesitation Am said what help she needs for she knew Haya could help her. ¡°Can you please take care of my son if I¡¯m gone Haya?¡± asked Am.¡± Am took something from here sling bag.

I¡¯m d I see you here.¡± ¡°Me too Am. But I have to go home now for sure Aunt Selma is looking for me now.¡± ¡°Take care Haya. I¡¯ll wait for you to visit in my ced.¡± ¡°Take care also, don¡¯t worry I will take care of your son when you¡¯re gone.¡± Haya said in soft voice holding back the tears in her eyes for she is sad because she knew sooner orter Am will passed away. They waved goodbye to each other. Am took a deep breathe when Haya walked away but she is happy for she knew Haya will do what she promised even though Haya is just an 11- year old girl. Time goes by without a trace. Haya didn¡¯t knew that Am was already dead. Am¡¯s son is nowhere to go and suffer from being cold and hungry out in the street for he was abandoned by Am¡¯s friends to whom they shared a house for rent. Am¡¯s friend considered that Am¡¯s son is just a burden and the child is good for nothing for the child is only 5 years old and cannot help them to earn a living. So one night Am¡¯s friend sent Am¡¯s son out of their house even it¡¯s a cold winter evening. That night Am¡¯s son started wandering¡¯ on the busy street of the city. Haya got busy and she was not able to pay a visit to the house where Am residing. In addition to that Haya also have her own problem that¡¯s why she almost forgot the condition of Am. Four months had passed and Haya still can¡¯t visit Am¡¯s ce for her Aunt Selma don¡¯t allowed her. That four months Am¡¯s son suffered the hardship in life at his young age out in the street. One day Haya decided to escape from her Aunt Selma to visit Am¡¯s ce. To her surprised when she reached Am¡¯s ce, Am was already dead. Haya don¡¯t knew where to find the son of Am. He is not in that ce now. BUT Haya didn¡¯t stop until she found the son of Am on the nearby ce. The little boy is wandering out in the street, suffering from hunger and cold. N?velDrama.Org owns this. At first Haya buy him only some food and left him again on the street but with a promised that she will He found the son of Am at one of the busy street of their city. The boy was searching things from garbage. He found a thing, a stic bag which contains food throw away by some children who passed by. He sits on the street and started eating the food he got from the trash can. On the other side of the street, Haya was standing in front of a fast food building. Haya was watching the little boy since 2 hours. Haya came nearby him and sat beside him, The son of Am was nervous and feel shy. ¡± What do you want¡±? He asked. ¡°Nothing¡± Haya replied. ¡°Are you hungry?¡± Haya asked by breaking heart. ¡°Yes!¡± the little boy answered with downcast eyes. He felt ashamed because she saw him eating food from the garbage. CHAPTER 7 CHAPTER 7 Haya takes him to the fast food and ordered some food and gave it to him. Haya was still watching the son of Am who seems so hungry and cold than her. His heart was beating fast. He is hesitant to take the food for he is worried about the bill. ¡°I have no money to pay that¡± he said, almost in whisper. ¡°You don¡¯t have to pay it. It¡¯s yours.¡± Haya said in soft voice. ¡°Thank you¡± he said. His little hand is trembling when he hold the food handed to him by Haya. Then Haya and the son of Am walked outside the fast food and walked down the snowy street. Haya was about to cross on the other side of the street. But the son of Am called her and asked. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going home. Maybe my cousins are looking for me now. They will get angry because I¡¯ll go home herself not to the son of Am. The fear suddenly seemed crossed in Haya¡¯s pretty face. Haya walked past and the little boy followed her when she crossed the street. ¡°Wait! What is your name?¡± the son of Am said. ¡°I¡¯m Haya.¡± She said without looking at the little boy who followed at her. Haya is walking towards the bus station. She walked as fast as she could and the little boy almost left behind. The little boy almost running just to catch her. Then Haya reached the bus station. But before she go up to the bus she turned around. She saw the little boy still followed. But when he saw that Haya is about to ride on a bus he stopped at a distance. He looked sad. Then Haya found herself walking back to the little boy and made a promise. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll be back some other time to see you. Wait for me in front of that fast food where we buy food. The same time at the same day. I will be there.¡± Haya said and smile to the son of Am. ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll wait you there.¡± The little boy promised. Then they walked in separate ways. Haya ride on the bus while the little boy still wander out on the street. That evening the little boy temporarily sheltered himself on a footbridge. For Haya is just an 11-year old girl she don¡¯t knew also what she would do to the son of Am. She can¡¯t bring the little boy to the house of her Aunt Selma for the old woman will get angry to her. All she could do is to give the little boy some food and clothes to wear for protection in the cold winter whenever she had time to visit on the ce where the son of Am wandered all day, all night for he had no home and permanent ce to stay. The son of Am don¡¯t leave that ce for he knew Haya would came back and looked for him. He is always waiting for Haya near the fast food where Haya told him to wait for her. In the long run Haya and the son of Am build a strong friendship. As a result Haya always escaped in their house to visit the son of Am. To check if the little boy is still on the same ce. That fast food in the corner of the street is their meeting ce. On the other hand, at the same time, at the same day of the week- just exactly when Haya first approached him-the son of Am is always waiting for Haya toe back. He wait Haya outside the fast food or near the fast food ce. The little boy knew that no matter what happened Haya woulde back to see him. The little boy felt happy whenever Haya is around for in his little heart, Haya took away the worries and fears that he have. When Haya is around all his sorrow melt away. Whenever Haya is around he don¡¯t have to be afraid. She cast his fears aside. N?velDrama.Org owns this. Haya gave him strength to carry on. And with that he know he can survive in his life. Old rm clock: RIIIIING, RIIIIING, RIIIIING, RIIIIING, Digital rm clock: BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP Cellphone rm clock: BZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZ! Aliyah wake up from her deep sleep because of the rm clock of her room mates. It¡¯s already morning, time to go to work again. At the back of her mind she is aware that she had a long dreamst night but she cannot recall what is that dream all about. For its time to go to work, again and again she ignore the thoughts. She get a towel and take a bath and in just few minutes she was ready to go to work. She grabbed her backpack and her phone and rushed outside the apartment to catch thepany¡¯s shuttle service. 8:00 pm Tuesday, in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Atif is already at home. He is at his bed room busy reviewing the new business proposal of his grandfather Haris. For Atif suggestion for the possible ce for their new business was approved by his grandfather he is the one who will in charge for the implementation of the new project. The new business is a manufacturingpany which products are perfume. Atif is busy reading about the raw materials needed in manufacturing a perfume. He need to study it for him to find the good supplier of the raw materials. ¡°Perfume is mixture of fragrant essential oil and aromapounds, fixatives, and solvents used to give the human body, objects, a living spaces a pleasant smell¡­¡±this is what Atif is reading when his phone chirped and vibrated on his pocket. . He pulled it out and stared at the screen. To his surprised, it is Aliyah who is messaging. ¡°Hi, how are you?¡± Aliyah¡¯s message. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m fine. How about you? ¡± Atif replied. He is a little bit disturbed by Aliyah¡¯s message. Atif needs to devote his time in studying the new business proposal for he is about to present it the next day to the board of directors of H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. But he don¡¯t mind. He choose to reply. He don¡¯t understand why he is doing this thing at this moment while he have choice to just ignore the message of Aliyah. He just feel some kind of emotional attachment to Aliyah. It¡¯s a signal that he be emotionally attached to Aliyah because he can¡¯t stop himself thinking about her and talking to her. The signs that may be he is attached to her are: he always wanted to send messages to her; he expect a response from her like he need her attention right now. Even he is doing a priority task such as being at work, he wants to receive a message from her. And if he don''t get a message from her, he feel lonely. Well, it¡¯s normal some may have an emotional connection with another person without being in a rtionship, but not realize they are falling for someone deeply. CHAPTER 8 CHAPTER 8 On the other hand its 3:00 am Asia Aliyah is sitting inside apany shuttle service. While on the ride she decided to read the messages on her cellphone that she missed to reply because she is busy at work yesterday. The shuttle service is heading to thepany now. For its two hours ride Aliyah have still time to reply all the messages she have on her phone. Almost all the messages is came from her family, some of her friends and from Atif. She was finished replying all the messages came from her family and friends when she decided to delete the message of Atif for she is not interested to send any message to him. But when she long pressed the message of Atif to delete all the conversation, the messenger app hang and when it respond again Atif message chat head open INSTEAD of being deleted. Simultaneously the messenger apps receive a message so another chat head open. Then there are three message chat head open. The messages are came from Aliyah¡¯s friends in her hometown. They just saying ¡°Hello¡± that¡¯s why Aliyah in returned just type ¡°Hi, how are you?¡± and she is about to send it to one of her friend but she didn¡¯t notice that instead of typing it to her friend message chat head, she identally press the message chat head of Atif AND the message was about to send to Atif. But just a matter of seconds Aliyah noticed it and tried to cancel it as fast as she could but it¡¯s toote. The message sent to Atif. Aliyah tried to unsent the message but unfortunately the messenger app hang again and when it function she already got an answer from Atif. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m fine. How about you? ¡± Atif replied. ¡°I¡¯m fine. But honestly that message is not for you. I just wrong sent. I¡¯m sorry if I disturbed you.¡± Aliyah replied. Aliyah just replied because of guilt feeling. N?velDrama.Org owns this. Why she feel guilty? Because Atif made an effort to reply to her message thinking that the message is for himself without knowing that she is just wrong send. Another reason why she replied is she think that if she reply that way, Atif will stop replying and that¡¯s what Aliyah wants. Aliyah wants to stop sending message to Atif and she also wants Atif stop sending message to her. But why? What is the reason behind? Because Aliyah don¡¯t want to have an emotional attachment to anyone else. She is an intimacy phobic person. Intimacy phobias are after one thing, and that is to avoid being hurt. She don¡¯t want to get hurt. Intimacy avoidance describes the degree to which an individual withdraws from close emotional contact. Aliyah fear that she will get close to Atif if they continue sending message to each other. They are starting sharing thoughts so Aliyah is afraid that it will lead into friendship. Aliyah¡¯s thinking is advance even though it¡¯s not happening or will not happen or maybe will happen. She¡¯s thinking of this scenario, ¡°What if they be friends and that friendship ends.¡± Why Aliyah have all these worries and fear? As mention she has a psychological disorder or personality disorder. BUT that thing is unknown to her. Aliyah didn¡¯t know that she had that condition. She will not determine it unless it will diagnose. Her emotion is splitting again. Splitting is an unconscious attempt to safeguard ego and prevent anxiety. A defense mechanism In essence, she is often terrified that others will leave her. She have an intense fear of abandonment. However, she can also shift suddenly to feeling smothered and fearful of intimacy, which leads her to withdraw from getting close to others. The result is a constant back-and-forth between demands for attention and sudden withdrawal or istion. Aliyah didn¡¯t expect that she will get another reply from Atif. ¡°It¡¯s okay! No worries? So what are you doing right now?¡± Atif said. ¡°I¡¯m taking care of my kids¡±, Aliyah lie to Atif. That is what she mentioned to Atif right now because that¡¯s the lie she told him from the start that she have a husband and kids even though she have none for she is single like Atif. But Aliyah decided to continue that lie and stand for it for she don¡¯t want to give her true personal info to Atif. Because of that reply, Aliyah didn¡¯t get any message from Atif until thepany¡¯s shuttle service arrived to thepany. Atif didn¡¯t reply for he felt a little bit embarrassed to himself for he is thinking all this time that Aliyah is also interested in chatting. He almost forgot what Aliyah said from the day they start sending message to each other. He almost forgot that Aliyah said that she is married and have kids. An hour had passed. Atif is still hesitant if he will reply again to Aliyah or not. But after an hour he pick up his cellphone and decided to reply, telling himself this reason: ¡°Maybe it¡¯s not wrong to continue chatting with her for us just basically chatting and nothing more.¡± Then he send this message to Aliyah before he go to bed. ¡±Sorry for I am not responding, I¡¯m just a little bit busy.¡± He feel sleepy waiting for Aliyah¡¯s reply but he got nothing. 10:00 am Monday, in Asia. Atif didn¡¯t receive a reply from Aliyah for she is very busy doing her job at her workce. In addition to that her superior is around so she cannot use cellphone for it is forbidden by the management to use phone if the employee are on their workce. 3:00 am Monday, in Bosnia and Herzegovina For Atif is tired he fall asleep. It¡¯s already daybreak when he fall asleep for he continue studying the business proposal while waiting for Aliyah¡¯s reply. Atif sleep sound. But most often in the early morning hours Atif experience nightmares. Like this time, in his nightmare he see these scenes: In his nightmare, he is still a little boy. And it waste on bitterly cold winter¡¯s evening. He was wandering around in the cold streets of Zenica. He was barefoot. Earlier on he was wearing shoes, but they were too long for his little feet and he lost them while running fast on the icy streets chased by wild dogs. He was now standing on the corner of a very busy street. He was hungry and trembling with cold. For he was hungry and felt so cold he tried to draw attention and beg. "Alms! Alms, give me a piece of bread." ¡°Spare me your mercy!" "Alms!¡± People were passing by but no one looked at him. No one stopped. His little hands were almost dead with cold. He sat down, drawing his feet under his thin clothes, but he was colder than ever. He starve to death. He can bear no more. BZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZ! Atif cellphone vibrated, He received a message. Atif wakes up from deep asleep for his cellphone is on his bed. It falls from his hand and dropped on his side when he fall asleep. 11:00 am Monday, in Asia 4:00 am Monday, in Bosnia and Herzegovina 11:00 am. Lunch Break Time for a subsidized or a free meal at the canteen. This day, Aliyah had rice and fried chicken. While Aliyah eating her lunch, she check the messages on her cellphone. There is a message from Atif again. ¡±Sorry for I am not responding, I¡¯m just a little bit busy.¡± Atif said. ¡°So what?¡± Aliyah type that message, she is about to send it to Atif but she change her mind so she delete it again. (¡°so what? ¡°Used to mean "it''s not important" and "I don''t care") Instead of that message Aliyah send this,¡± It¡¯s ok. No worries.¡± That moment Atif wake from his nightmare because his phone vibrated when he received the message of Aliyah. Even though his catching his breath because of what he seen in his nightmare, the smile cross his face when he read the message of Aliyah. CHAPTER 9 CHAPTER 9 Time goes by. Aliyah and Atif never noticed that they continuouslymunicating with each other even though they both have doubts and hesitations tomunicate with each other. And sometimes they both want to stop sending messages to each other. Why? For Aliyah don¡¯t trust stranger. Also she believes that in this life everything is temporary; ¡°Emotions, thoughts, people, scenery; everything is bound to end; Do not be attached.¡± For Atif it¡¯s just a waste of time to chat with strangers because he is a very busy person. He has a limited free time or almost sometimes no free time at all. But in spite of their reasons they found themselves still chatting with each other. They can¡¯t helped it. Until they became friends. When Atif showed kindness to Aliyah, Aliyah learn to trust him even though he is just a stranger. Aliyah consider him as a friend. It¡¯s just because Atif noticed that there is something wrong with Aliyah he decided to be Aliyah¡¯s friend. Atif knows that Aliyah needs someone, a friend who will listen to her. He noticed it when Aliyah asked him,¡± Can we be friends?¡± Without hesitation Atif answer her ¡°Sure.¡± And from that moment, when Atif said that they are friends Aliyah believes on his word. Hoping their friendship wouldst. Aliyah find a special friend in Atif. Atif is still a stranger even though they are friends. For there¡¯s no chance for them to see each other in person, Aliyah can tell him her problems without hesitation. Because sometimes it¡¯s easy to tell your problems and secrets to stranger rather than to those who All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. knew you. Atif understand her, always giving her good advice on how to cope up with her problems. Atif found time to be her friend. Even in his busy schedule he found time to reply on every message of Aliyah knowing that Aliyah will always wait for his reply. Unknowingly Aliyah slowly falling to Atif. And vice versa. Atif slowly falling for Aliyah but he ignore his own feelings. For what he knew is; ¡°Aliyah is married¡±. Because Aliyah lie to him from the start. Lie that she can¡¯t take it back for her fear that Atif would not trust her anymore; she stand for it; that she have a husband and kids even though she is single. ¡°Anyway Atif wouldn¡¯t find out that I¡¯m telling lies for we don¡¯t have mutual friends. Besides there¡¯s no chance that we can see each other in person.¡± Aliyah told herself. Because they are friends Atif also learned to reveal some personal things about his life to Aliyah like; Sometimes Atif talked about that someday he would find a woman to marry and share the rest of her life. Make a family. And if he saw a woman that get his attention he tell it to Aliyah. Unknowingly that sometimes Aliyah get annoyed for she has a feelings for Atif that she also ignore like what Atif do. Her reason is different from what Atif have. Aliyah told herself that she will never fall for someone again unless there will be someone, somehow, ready to share the love that¡¯s strong, a love that grows with each passing time. Because she been wrong before and don¡¯t want to be wrong anymore. But love is knocking on the door of her heart once more. And her lonely heart y the part of the fool again. Her foolish heart once more feeling the feeling that she will let herself fall again; wants to y the game that she can¡¯t win. She is tired of being abandoned so he warned herself to stop before she fall in love again. Aliyah ignore her feeling most of the time but it remains and she can¡¯t erase it. SO when Atif tell her that he will meet the woman he wants as if like a date she can¡¯t help herself to get jealous. But Aliyah consider Atif as a friend so she listens to what Atif is telling and sometimes she even wish that Atif will find the right woman for him to marry. And when Atif tell her that he failed to meet the woman he like because of his busy schedule Aliyah¡¯s feeling is mix. Mix feeling because she feel sad for she knew that Atif is sad about what had happened to his supposed to be date. She wants Atif to be happy. But she can¡¯t help also being happy for Atif and the woman failed to see each other. For her it means that they can stillmunicate with each other. Aliyah fear that if Atif find a girlfriend he will stop themunication and the friendship that they have. Aliyah didn¡¯t knew that Atif noticed her reaction, that she is jealous but also feel sad if he failed to meet the woman he wants. Atif knew because Aliyah once asked him that if that woman would be his girlfriend will they stop chatting. In spite that Atif like the woman; he is also afraid to lose Aliyah as a friend. He immediately exined to Aliyah that,¡± there¡¯s nothing wrong with still chatting with each other for we are just friends and nothing more than that.¡± Atif promise that even he got a girlfriend they will remain friends. But Aliyah being abandoned with her previous rtionship partners still have a doubt on what Atif promise. Because even those Aliyah¡¯s male friends avoid her when they got girlfriend for they are afraid that their woman get jealous of her. Aliyah has extraordinary beauty that make other woman get insecure. Even her age is at 30¡¯s now, still she looks beautiful. She looks younger than her age. But Atif still didn¡¯t see the real face or appearance of Aliyah for all her photos in her social media ounts are fake; if there are some real photos, she chooses to upload the ugly photos she have or the images which unclear. On the other hand, the photos of Atif on his social media ounts are real. What will happen next to their friendship is just a piece of a puzzle for destiny is out of control. Will Atif keep his promised? Will Atif know how to keep his promise? Will they remain just friends? Or one of them reveal the true feeling they have for each other? CHAPTER 10 CHAPTER 10 Boardroom is a ce where only selected members of the board is present to discuss and n. The primary function of a boardroom is to house meetings of apany¡¯s board of directors, a group of individuals elected to represent shareholders¡¯ interests. Board members use the boardroom to discuss and decide how to handle thepany¡¯s most pressing issues Boardrooms contain a big enough table and an adequate number of chairs to seat all those present and be located in a setting that promotes privacy. As its name implies, the boardroom is best known as a room used by apany¡¯s board of directors, a group of individuals elected by shareholders to represent them and protect their interests. Board members can generally be divided into three categories First, the Chairman: An individual who heads the board and is responsible for ensuring that it runs smoothly. Elected by the board of directors, a chairman''s duties typically include maintaining strongmunication with the chief executive officer (CEO) and other high-level executives, formting thepany''s business strategy, representing management and the board to the general public and shareholders, and preserving corporate integrity. Second, the Inside Directors: These board members are either shareholders or high-level managers from within thepany, such as the chief operating officer (COO) or the chief financial officer (CFO). Their main tasks include approving high-level budgets prepared by upper management, implementing and monitoring business strategy, and giving the green light to core corporate initiatives and projects. Third, the Outside Directors: Unlike inside directors, these individuals are not directly part of the management team. They do, however, have the same responsibilities. The role of an outside director is to offer external insights, providing unbiased and impartial perspectives on issues brought to the board. The frequency of meetings between members of a board of directors varies, depending on the type and size of thepany. Usually, gatherings of board members would be expected to ur in a specially designated boardroom at least every business quarter. A quarter is a three-month period on apany''s financial calendar that acts as a basis for periodic financial reports and the paying of dividends. A quarter refers to one-fourth of a year and is typically expressed as "Q1¡± for the first quarter, ¡°Q2¡± for the second quarter, and so forth.

A manufacturingpany which products are perfume. Atif start his discussion about the business proposal. And now he is discussing about the raw materials needed in manufacturing a perfume. ¡°Perfume is mixture of fragrant essential oil and aromapounds, fixatives, and solvents used to give the human body, objects, a living spaces a pleasant smell¡­¡±this is what Atif is discussing when his phone chirped and vibrated on his pocket. He wants to pull it out and read the message but he can¡¯t for he is in front of the board members discussing. Atif knew that the message is from Aliyah for it is 8:00 pm now, in Asia time zone. He used to the time when Aliyah send a message. Atif knew that Aliyah is waiting for his reply but he can¡¯t reply for he is so busy right now doing his job. He has no time to reply. ¡°¡­. And about the supplier of the raw materials I already found a goodpany to supply our needs.¡± Atif continue his discussion.¡± His phone chirped and vibrated on his pocket again.¡± Ah, what is her problem?¡± Atif think that maybe Aliyah has a problem again this time and need someone to talk with it. ¡°Our target customer for example are millennial women, young men and¡­¡± Atif continue his discussion presenting the target market of the new project. For the third time around, his phone chirped and vibrated. Once again he wants to read the message and reply but he cannot. He is finished discussing the whole project proposal but he is busy answering the questions of the board members. They hit Atif with too many questions not because they don¡¯t agree with the new project but they are interested on it. The new project was approved by the board because they are convinced with the presentation of Atif. In the next board meeting they will discuss about the implementation of the new project. After an hour the meeting is adjourned. Then the board members leave the boardroom one by one after talking to Atif with some rification and congratte him for being in charge of the new project. They believe that if Atif handle the business it will be sessful. And for sure they will gain more profit more than what they expected.

When all the people leaves the meeting room, Atif immediately pull his phone from his pocket. He was correct. He got a message from Aliyah. ¡°Hello. ¡°The first message of Aliyah. ¡°How are you? ¡°The next message of Aliyah. ¡°Can I ask your opinion about something?

Atif gather all his folder and documents he used in the meeting. He prepared to go to the office of his grandfather. But he spent another three minutes on the boardroom waiting for Aliyah¡¯s reply. He knew that once he enter the office of his grandfather, Haris, he cannot reply again to Aliyah. The three minutes was passed. He got no reply from Aliyah. He take a deep breath and walk outside the boardroom. He is heading toward the elevator to go up to the 10TH floor where his grandfather¡¯s office located. While walking he is staring on the screen of his phone because Aliyah sent a reply to him. Unknowingly, because he is not looking on where he is going he identally bumps on the beautiful ¡°Ooops!

CHAPTER 11 CHAPTER 11 On the other hand, Aliyah is waiting for Atif reply. But she got no reply from Atif. So since its pass midnight, she decided to go to sleep. And then again when Aliyah fall asleep she had a dream. AGAIN and again her dream is about the little boy and the girl name Haya. In her dream she saw these scenes: Haya is standing in front of the fast food where she used to wait for the son of Am. It¡¯s about an hour of waiting but the little boy didn¡¯t arrived. But Haya wait for him patiently. For she knew that the son of Am where arrived no matter what happened. But this time it¡¯s toote than the usual time but the son of Am didn¡¯t show up. Haya is worried now because of two reasons: First, it¡¯ste in the evening and she is still out. Her Aunt Selma will get angry when she arrived home toote in the evening. But she can take it. As long as she knew that her friend, the son of Am is safe. Second, she is worried on what happened to the little boy. She can take all the sermon that her Aunt Selma will give but she can¡¯t take if there is something bad happen to the little boy. Because Haya promised to Am that she will take care of her son, Haya won¡¯t let the little boy down. She do her best to take care of the little boy no matter what happened. She don¡¯t care if her Aunt Selma will get angry. She decided to look first for the little boy before she will go home. Haya look for the son of Am in the nearby ces. She cannot find the little boy, until she decided to go up to the nearby footbridge. There in the footbridge where the little boy used to shelter himself in the cold nights. There in the footbridge, Haya found the son of Aliyah lying almost dead with cold. The little boy is sick. He has a high fever, cough and colds. He got a flu. Haya heard the little boy is crying and praying. ¡°Please, God, tell Haya that I¡¯m here. I cannot go anymore to the ce where I used to meet her. I¡¯m too sick. I can¡¯t bear no more but I want to see Haya first before I die and join my mother there in heaven.¡± Haya is holding back her tears with all her might when she heard the little boy¡¯s prayer. Haya clear her throat before she speak for she cannot speak because she is about to cry. Haya can¡¯t believe of what she heard. ¡°Cry no more little boy because I¡¯m here. God answer your prayer but please don¡¯t leave me.¡± Haya said. When the son of Am heard Haya¡¯s voice he forced himself to sit down. The little boy smile but in his eyes there is a deep sadness. ¡°I don¡¯t want to leave you Haya but I can¡¯t bear no more. I felt that I¡¯m dying¡­¡± ¡°Stop that!¡± Haya shout to the little boy.¡± It¡¯s only the effect of fever, you will not die because of that.¡± N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Haya got angry for she doesn¡¯t want the feeling of being abandoned. But her anger was vanished when he saw the little boy crying. ¡°I¡¯m sorry Haya.¡± Said the little boy. ¡°It¡¯s okay but please stop that drama.¡± Haya answer. Then he gave the little food and water. ¡°Here eat first then we will go.¡± Haya said. ¡°Where are we going Haya?¡± asked the little boy. ¡°You will go with me to the ce where I am living.¡± Haya answered. At first Haya don¡¯t know what to do¡­ Until she decided to bring the little boy with her when she go home. As she expected her Aunt Selma will get very angry. ¡°Is he the reason, that son of Am, why you always disobey me Haya?¡± asked her Aunt Selma angrily. ¡°And why did you bring that little boy here in my house?¡± her Aunt Selma continue asking Haya. Haya say nothing. ¡°What is your n Haya? Are you going to adopt that little boy? He is just a burden to you.¡± Her Aunt Selma continuous talking in an angry manner. ¡°Answer me, Haya.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you worry, I¡¯ll give him to his father¡¯s best friend, Sir Haris. I know where to find him.¡± Haya answer.¡± ¡°Who? Sir Haris? One of the managers in H & A Summit Holdings, Inc.? The former employer of your grandfather? ¡°Asked Selma. ¡°Yes! That little boy is the son of Sir Alem.¡± Haya revealed. Her Aunt Selma can¡¯t believe of what Haya said. The next day, Haya bring the son of Am to Haris. With all the proof that Haya have without hesitation, Haris epted the little boy to his house. He can¡¯t deny the fact that the little boy is the son of his best friend Alem. Haris is very happy for he can now fulfilled what he promised to Alem. ¡°Are you going to visit me here often, Haya?¡± Ask the little boy. ¡°NO.I will never go back in here.¡± Haya answered. ¡°But why?¡± the little boy ponder. ¡°When will I see you again Haya?¡± ¡°When you grow up, go back to the ce where we first met. At the same day at the same time. Maybe you can find me there.¡± Haya said. Then she said goodbye to the little boy. When she turned her back she heard the little boy cry, calling her name but Haya never returned instead he run away. Haya don¡¯t want to hear or see him cry that¡¯s why she never turn around. ¡°Haya please don¡¯t go! Don¡¯t leave me here!¡± the little boy cried. Haris take the little boy hand and they enter the house. Haya is riding on the bus now. Going home. But still she heard the words the little boy said. And the sound of his cry keeps ringing on his head. MEOW! MEOW! MEOW! MEOW! MEOW! MEOW! MEOW! MEOW! MEOW! MEOW! MEOW! The cat jumped from the window to the floor. Aliyah wake up from her sleep because of the sound of the cat from the neighbor. The cat enter from the window of her room which she forgot to close when she go to sleep. She catches her breath she think that she really heard the sound of the boy¡¯s cry in her dream. But no it¡¯s the sound of the cat. On Bosnia and Herzegovina¡­ Atif is enjoying thepany of Nea. They eating dinner together. Talking about their business and n in life. Atif is so impressed with Nea for she is not just beautiful but a very smart girl also. And because of that she forgot to reply to the message of Aliyah. CHAPTER 12 CHAPTER 12 10:00 pm Wednesday, in Bosnia and Herzegovina Atif is already at home. He is talking with his father, Mateo and his grandfather Haris. They are standing at the balcony of Haris bedroom while drinking coffee. They are talking about the result of the board meeting. Haris is very proud of his grandson. Mateo as well is very proud of his son Atif. Because Atif meets their expectations that the new business will be approved if Atif presents it to the board members of H & A Summit. Haris and Mateo are d about the result of the meeting. While Mateo and Haris is busy talking to each other, Atif secretly pull his phone from his pocket. He remember that he didn¡¯t reply to the message of his friend, Aliyah because his attention was distracted when he bumps at Nea when he is on his way to Haris office. Then he forgot to reply the message of Aliyah when he started to report the result of the meeting to his grandfather, Haris. And he totally forgotten to send a reply to Aliyah when his grandfather asked him to drive Nea home. Atif admit to himself that he forgot Aliyah for a while when he is having a good time with Nea this evening. Thus, he felt guilty like that he cheats to Aliyah after having a good time with Nea. Atif don¡¯t know why he felt like that while there¡¯s nothing between him and Aliyah. They are not husband and wife. Also, they are not in a rtionship. They are just friends in social media unofficial for Aliyah never ept his friend request. And their life is spinning in different worlds. As if having no chance to see each other in person. Atif really don¡¯t understand why he felt like that this night. He like the personality of Nea and he is really interested to Nea but why he has this guilty feeling. Atif got a chance to reply to Aliyah when the attention of his father and grandfather is not focus on him. He secretly read the message of Aliyah. Atif act like that because he don¡¯t want them to notice that he is chatting to a woman. Atif don¡¯t want them to know about Aliyah. After reading the message of Aliyah, Atif type his reply as fast as he could before the attention of his father and grandfather will focus on him again. ¡°How are you? The reason why I didn¡¯t reply to your message is I identally met a girl that catches my interest and she and I had dinner this evening. I¡¯ll drive her to her home for her car got a problem. I¡¯ll just arrived at home,¡± Atif exin to Aliyah. Atif didn¡¯t notice that Mateo, his father is talking to him again. Mateo noticed that his son Atif is not paying attention on what he said. He noticed that Atif is busy checking his phone. Mateo shook his head and frowned. Then he call Atif to get his attention. ¡°Atif, who is that? His father call his attention. Atif got so surprised. His phone slip on his hand. And dropped on the floor. In front of his grandfather. Unfortunately, his grandfather picked Atif¡¯s phone and see the message chat head of Aliyah. Haris see the photo of Aliyah. The real photo of Aliyah because Aliyah put her real photo this time in her profile. Haris stare at the photo of Aliyah. Haris has goosebumps for what he seeing is a very familiar face. The woman face looks so familiar. She has a resemnce to ¡°Haya¡±. The daughter of his former employee. ¡°Haya¡± was missing a long time ago. Until now Haris former employee¡¯s son couldn¡¯t find his daughter. Haris blink his eyes and put on his eyesses hoping that the image will change. But it remains the same. ¡°Grandpa, can I have my phone now.¡± Atif try to get his phone from his grandfather. Haris shook his head. Gave the phone to Atif. Take a deep breath and look far away as if he remember a tragic ident. Atif and Mateo don¡¯t know why Haris behave like that this time after seeing the photo of Aliyah on Atif¡¯s phone. But none of them dare to ask any question to Haris. They have different reasons why they never asked. For Mateo knew that his father Haris will not talk about it in front of Atif. While for Atif, he feared that he will get a sermon from his grandfather if he ask him a question. Atif thought that his grandfather was disappointed to him. Atif concluded that his grandfather couldn¡¯t believe that his talking to a stranger like that. Talking to a woman who don¡¯t even belong to their society. Wasting his time to a stranger. Atif is standing with downcast eyes in front of his grandfather. ¡°You may go to your room now Atif.¡± He heard his grandfathermand him. ¡°And stop wasting your time chatting to thatdy.¡± Atif knew that it¡¯s a warning. He knew his grandfather very well. Atif cannot disobey him. ¡°Yes, Grandpa.¡± Atif answered in sad voice. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. Atif leave the room of his grandfather.

From childhood until now Atif always obey what his grandfather wants him to do. But now he can¡¯t. He will disobey his grandfather this time. ¡°I will break the rules this time, just time for you Aliyah.¡± 5:00 am Thursday, in Asia Aliyah arrives at the factory at 5:00 a.m. for a quick free meal at the canteen, then starts work at 6:00 a.m. While eating her breakfast, Aliyah receive the message of Atif. ¡°How are you?

CHAPTER 14 CHAPTER 14 8:00 pm Thursday, in Asia Aliyah is already at home. She is eating dinner together with her cousin Lena and her two friends- Maita and Celina. She¡¯s renting a room together with her cousin and two friends. Aliyah is lying on her bed now. For she is very tired and lost appetite to eat dinner. In addition to that, Aliyah is feeling down the whole day for her supervisor at work make her embarrassed in front of their co-workers. The supervisor gave Aliyah a very difficult task and Aliyah failed to do it ording to what the supervisor wants. Because she is feeling down she got this feeling that she wants to talk to Atif. For Atif always cheer her up with his good advices. Aliyah decided to send message to Atif. She get her phone on her bag. Her cousin and her two friends still eating dinner. While eating their dinner, Aliyah¡¯s cousin Lena and her two friends are very talkative. They talking about their experiences at work for the whole day. They work at the samepany together with Aliyah. ¡°Our new supervisor is very strict to us.¡± Said Lena in loud voice, with matching eyeball rolling in disgust. ¡°Yes, your right!¡± Celina agreed to what Lena said. She speak also in loud voice with frown emoticon. ¡°And she is jealous with Aliyah.¡± Eximed Maita with exasperation. ¡°I agree. You know why? Lena said. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. ¡°Of course.¡± Celina answer. ¡°For her boyfriend is making friends with Aliyah.¡± Celina continue to talk. ¡°Oh what¡¯s wrong with that? Aliyah doesn¡¯t even interested in making friends with that guy.¡± Lena asked. ¡°You don¡¯t get it Lena? Aliyah is more beautiful and kind than our supervisor that¡¯s why ¡°Miss Supervisor¡± is afraid that she might be rece by Ailyah in her boyfriend¡¯s life¡± Maita exined with a smile on her face. ¡°You see your cousin is beautiful. Especially if she will remove her eye sses. Celina said with admiration in her voice. ¡°That¡¯s right. Look, Aliyah have a long dark brown hair. She is slim and with white skinplexion. With angelic face. Even though she is not that tall she looks cute in her height.¡± Maita said. ¡°But I noticed one thing Lena.¡± Celina said. ¡°What is that?¡± Lena asked. ¡°Aliyah looks like European woman rather than Asian woman.¡± Celina said. Lena didn¡¯t answer. She knew what the reason behind why Aliyah looks like that. It¡¯s a family secret. Lena can¡¯t tell it to anybody. Even to Aliyah for their grandmother will get angry if Aliyah¡¯s phobia will get back. It¡¯s better not to mention it again to Aliyah than to remind Aliyah of the past. Aliyah developed an amnesia ording to the doctor that¡¯s why she cannot remember who she is and where she came from. Lena remember the very first day when her grandmother Elsa found Aliyah lying down almost dead on the seashore. For Lena¡¯s belongs to a family of fisherman, her grandmother used to go to the seashore. At the seashore near the boat which uses by Lena¡¯s Uncle Peter and Lena¡¯s father Sam to catch fish, their grandmother Elsa found Aliyah lying beside the boat. She is holding a small bag in her hand. From that day, Aliyah became part of their family. Lena¡¯s grandmother Elsa helped Aliyah to recover from trauma. They guessed that Aliyah is came from a sunken ship somewhere. But Aliyah got a temporary amnesia. She don¡¯t remember who she is and where she came from. She don¡¯t even remember her name and why she got there. Aliyah got a trauma. She developed phobia. Phobia is an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something. She had a phobia about being under water. She is afraid to go to the sea shore. She fear anything rted to water. She felt she is drowning whenever she touched water. Becauseter she partially remember what had happen to her on the ocean. She recall the sinking ship, what had happened to her when she jumped into the ocean before the ship totally wrecked by the big waves. She recalled what had happen to the sinking ship but not the ce where it happened. She recalled what had happen to her when the ship is sinking but not her name and where she came from. For she don¡¯t know her name Lena¡¯s grandmother Elsa called her by name Aliyah. Because of trauma she developed dissociative amnesia. Dissociative amnesia is a condition in which a person cannot remember important information about his or her life. This forgetting may be limited to certain specific areas (thematic), or may include much of the person¡¯s life history and/or identity (general). Dissociative amnesia has been linked to overwhelming stress, which may be caused by traumatic events such as war, abuse, idents, or disasters. The person may have suffered the trauma or just witnessed it. In some rare cases, the person may forget most or all of his personal information (name, personal history, friends), and may sometimes adopt apletely new identity. In all cases of dissociative amnesia, the person has a much greater memory loss than would be expected in the course of normal forgetting. Severe trauma or stress can also cause dissociative amnesia. With this condition, your mind rejects thoughts, feelings, or information that you¡¯re too overwhelmed to handle, lead to amnesia as well as forgetting other details of your life. That is the case of Aliyah. Her mind rejects the thoughts, feelings and information caused by traumatic events that she suffered. Dissociative amnesia is different from amnesia caused by medical problems, such as illnesses, strokes, or brain injuries. In medically caused amnesia, recovering memories are rare and generally a slow and gradual process. While in dissociative amnesia often, when memories return, they do so suddenly andpletely. Memory recovery may happen on its own, after being triggered by something in the person¡¯s surroundings, or in therapy. In Aliyah¡¯s case, her memory didn¡¯t return for a long time for she developed or totally adopt a And as time passed by she ovee her phobia and forget all about what had happened to her (her experienced) on the sinking ship. BUT when timees that something or someone in her surroundings trigger her mind to remember her past, her memories will return. She will remember who she is. For in dissociative amnesia memory recovery happen on its own after being triggered by something in the person¡¯s surroundings. CHAPTER 15 CHAPTER 15 1:00 pm Thursday, in Bosnia and Herzegovina H & A Summit Holdings, Inc., Chief Executive Office Mateo- Atif¡¯s father is talking with his father Haris about what happenedst night. Mateoin to his father. His trying to convince his father to allow Atif to enjoy such little thing that he think make his son somewhat feel a little bit happy. Mateo knew from the start that Atif feel lonely all the times in spite of luxurious life that he have. Atif have no freedom to decide what good for himself. All is dictated by his grandfather Haris. Although Atif can manage and decide what good for their business but he can¡¯t do what he wants for himself. Haris is always strict to Atif. For Atif is a good child he always obey his father and grandfather from childhood until now even though he is in the right age to decide for himself. Atif is submissive grandson. He cannot disobey his grandfather Haris. He don¡¯t want to give his grandfather a headache and distress. Atif don¡¯t want his grandfather Haris to get angry that¡¯s why he always obey his grandfather. Even though Haris is so strict to Atif, he means a lot to Atif. Atif is really grateful having his grandfather in his life that¡¯s why he always sacrifice his own happiness just to obey his grandfather wants. Mateo continue to convince his father Haris to let Atif keep thedy as a friend. Mateo see no reason to cut Atif and Aliyah¡¯s friendship. ¡°Father, Atif is old enough to decide whom he will choose to talk with, old enough to choose friends¡­.¡± ¡°¡­but he is not allowed to have a rtionship or marry ady who is not belong to the society where we belong.¡± Haris interrupt on what Mateo trying to exin to him. ¡°But they are just friends, Father.¡± Mateo insist. ¡°How did you know Mateo?¡± asked Haris in loud voice. ¡°When I checked Atif in his room this early morning, I¡¯m able to read their conversation on Atif phone. Atif is still sleeping when I went to his room. He is drunkst night and wake upte this morning. He didn¡¯t notice that I enter his room.¡± Mateo exined. ¡°Still I don¡¯t like thatdy to be his friend.¡± Haris said unconvinced to what Mateo said. ¡°But why, Father?¡± eximed Mateo. ¡°Oh sure you read their conversation but you didn¡¯t notice the profile picture of thatdy. You didn¡¯t notice that she looks like Haya. That¡¯s why Atif befriended thatdy. Maybe he is imagining that he is still talking to Haya. We all know that Haya is dead long time ago. I don¡¯t want Atif to be reminded of her memories for Atif can¡¯t concentrate on managing our businesses.¡± Mateo concluded. ¡°But Father how did you know that thedy looks like Haya? She don¡¯t have any photo on her profile or even in her timeline. I don¡¯t see any photo in her social media ount.¡± Mateo can¡¯t believe to what his father said for he don¡¯t see even a single photo of Aliyah on that ount. ¡°Are you trying to say that I am wrong Mateo? Why don¡¯t we look for that ount to see that what I¡¯m telling you is true?¡± Haris dare his son Mateo to prove what he said is true. ¡°Okay Father let¡¯s look for that ount. I want to see which photo you¡¯re talking about.¡± Mateo agreed to his father. Reached theptop and searched the ount of Aliyah. After a minute, Mateo saw the social media ount of Aliyah. He called Haris attention for the old man is very busy signing the papers on his office table. ¡°Look, Father here it is. I told you there is no photo.¡± Mateo said. Haris can¡¯t believe it. The photo on the profile of thedy has changed. Haris shook his head while Mateo is still searching for another social media tform where there is possible that Aliyah have an ount but he found none. ¡°Maybe she changed her profile picturest night that¡¯s why we can¡¯t find it now Mateo.¡± Haris concluded. ¡°Maybe.¡± Mateo agree to his father. ¡°I wonder if Atif saw that photo Mateo.¡± Haris said. ¡°Maybe he don¡¯t see it Father.¡± Mateo answered. YES Mateo is right. Atif didn¡¯t notice that Aliyah change her profile picture. Yeah! Aliyah uploaded her real photo but she changed it again after an hour for her mind changed. Instead of uploading her real photo, Aliyah upload a photo of a woman wearing a ck jacket with a hood covering her whole face and ce the caption on the photo: ¡°I don¡¯t want the world to see me.¡± Atif and Mateo didn¡¯t notice the real photo of Aliyah. Unfortunately, Haris saw it before Aliyah change it. And it made the old man too worried. Why? Haris knew that Haya is so important to Atif. Atif mourned for a long time when Haya died. Atif was so upset that time. He was depressed that time. Haris witnessed how Atif cried when his friend was lost. He cannot move on for a long period of time. But with the helped of Haris and Mateo, Atif ovee his grief. And was able to move on. Haris don¡¯t want Atif to be reminded of the memories of Haya. Haris is so afraid that if Atif continue to make friends with thatdy, thatdy will only reminds Atif of Haya. And if the memories of Haya returned to Atif he can¡¯t concentrate on his work. N?velDrama.Org owns this. Haris is so afraid that Atif will be disturbed. He don¡¯t want Atif mood to be ruined for everything will be at risk. Their businesses are at risk. Haris can¡¯t afford if Atif will be reced by somebody as his sessor as a chief executive of H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. He trained Atif very well so that he will get the position that Atif deserve. That is the fulfillment of his promised to his best friend Alem. Why the fulfillment of his promised to Alem? THE TRUTH IS¡­ Atif is not really a real son of Mateo. Not a real grandson of Haris. BUT¡­ THE LOST SON OF ALEM!! He is the son of AMILA and ALEM. ATIF is the poor little boy who was wandering around in the cold streets during thatte bitterly cold winter¡¯s evening. Barefoot. Lost his shoes while running fast on the icy streets chased by wild dogs. Sheltered himself on the footbridge when the night fall. THAT¡¯S why sometimes Atif have a nightmare that he is running on the icy street of the city and he is still a little boy on his dream. Sleeping on the footbridge with snowkes falling on his hair and body. THE poor little boy who always wait for Haya in front of the fast food building. The little boy who was saved by Haya. HE is the friend of Haya who left by Haya at the house of Haris. He is also the poor little boy who always appeared on Aliyah¡¯s dream almost every night. BUT still Aliyah don¡¯t remember who is that little boy. And don¡¯t remember who Haya is. And still Aliyah don¡¯t find the answers to her questions: ¡°Why they appear on my dreams?¡± ¡°Who are they?¡± ¡°Are they rted to me?¡± THOSE are the questions that Aliyah keep on asking every time she wake up on her dream. WHAT is the truth behind that? Will Aliyah have the answer for that questions in the end? Is she really rted to Haya and Atif? Or it¡¯s only a result of psychological disorder that she have? Just a dream that have no meaning? Anyway, what is the real name of ALIYAH? She has an amnesia right? And Aliyah is not her real name? Why she looks like Haya? Are they twins? Sisters? Cousins? Or Rtives? CHAPTER 16 CHAPTER 16 1:00 pm Thursday, in Bosnia and Herzegovina H & A Summit Holdings, Inc., Board of Directors office. Atif is in his office. He is busy reviewing some documents which needs his sign or approval. He is sitting in an elegant style swivel chair beside his office table. He is so handsome in his business suit. The suit was blue, sharp-looking, and well-fitted that made him look very handsome. While reviewing the documents, he is chatting with Aliyah. 8:00 pm Thursday, in Asia Aliyah is lying on her bed now. N?velDrama.Org owns this. For she is very tired and lost appetite to eat dinner. In addition to that, Aliyah is feeling down the whole day for her supervisor at work make her embarrassed in front of their co-workers. The supervisor gave Aliyah a very difficult task and Aliyah failed to do it ording to what the supervisor wants. Because she is feeling down she got this feeling that she wants to talk to Atif. For Atif always cheer her up with his good advices. Aliyah decided to send message to Atif. ¡°Hello. How are you?¡± Aliyah¡¯s message. ¡°Hi. I¡¯m fine. And you?¡± Atif replied. ¡°I¡¯m feeling so bad now.¡± Aliyah answered. ¡°Sad to hear that. And why?¡± Atif replied. ¡°I¡¯m always like this if I left alone in the house.¡± Aliyah is telling lie for she can¡¯t tell the real reason why. Aliyah can tell to Atif what she feels right now but not the real reason that it¡¯s about what happen to her work on the whole day. For from the start what Atif knew is she is just a in housewife. She is just taking care of her kids. Unemployed. INSPITE of the fact that she have no kids and not even a wife for she is single. ¡°I will suggest that you should talk to your husband and tell about that.¡± Atif suggest to Aliyah. ¡°I just can¡¯t.¡± Aliyah replied. ¡°But why? He is your husband, he should know about that.¡± Atif answered giving an advice to Aliyah. Aliyah feel guilty for Atif take her lie seriously. Her lie that she can¡¯t take back for she is afraid that Atif will not trust her anymore if she will reveal the truth. ¡°But I don¡¯t want him to bother about me.¡± Aliyah replied with another lie. ¡°Alright but much better if you will tell him.¡± Atif replied insisting his advice to Aliyah for he feel worried about her in some way. ¡°No. I just can¡¯t.¡± Aliyah replied. ¡°Or you better consult to a therapist.¡± Atif suggest. That message from Atif made Aliyah hold her breath. ¡°Atif is thinking that I am crazy!¡± Aliyah concluded in her mind when she reads the message of Atif. ¡°But what if they put me in a mental hospital. All I need is someone who will listen to me when I am like this. I don¡¯t need psychiatrist. I¡¯m not crazy even though most of the time I feel unwell.¡± Aliyah replied exining and making Atif believe that she is not a psychiatric patient. That all she need is a friend who will listen and not a doctor. ¡°I¡¯m not telling that you are psychiatric patient. The therapist won¡¯t easily put you in a mental institution. They will just listen to you to find out what you will need to ovee such feelings.¡± Atif answered convincing Aliyah to consult a therapist. ¡°I just don¡¯t like.¡± Aliyah replied. ¡°You know even me myself have a therapist before.¡± Atif replied trying again to convince Aliyah. YES, that¡¯s true. Atif before have a therapist. Haris his grandfather consulted to a therapist before to help Atif ovee his traumas that he acquired during his childhood and his depression when Haya died. And that was a long time ago. He is well and emotionally stable now. Emotionally stable means that he can withstand difficult situations, handle adversity, and remain productive and capable throughout. ¡°Really? But I don¡¯t like.¡± Aliyah replied. ¡°Alright. But I can¡¯t promise that I can reply always to your message and talk to you for I¡¯m always busy.¡± Atif answered. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Sorry if I disturbed you a lot.¡± Aliyah replied. She feel sorry for she think that Atif is just trying to avoid her. And she concluded that the reason is Atif thinks that she is a psychiatric patient. ¡°You don¡¯t disturbed me that much. Only that I can seldom reply to your message.¡± Atif replied. Aliyah didn¡¯t reply to Atif message. She go to the bathroom. Go to the sink and wash her face to wipe the tears that start falling from her eyes. Aliyah now really thinks that Atif is telling that because he is trying to avoid her now. Aliyah is feeling unwell right now. Her psychological condition is the main reason. Her emotion is splitting again. Because of that, the other half of her personality wants to say goodbye now to Atif for she is thinking that Atif is just trying to avoid her and don¡¯t like her as friend anymore. But the other half of her personality wants to stay, wants to believe the reason of Atif that he is just really busy, and wants to keep her as a friend. But the stronger side of her personality wins. She wants to say goodbye now because it dictates Aliyah to think something bad to Atif. Aliyah now is facing at therge mirror in the bathroom. Staring at the mirror. Aliyah sees herself in the mirror with an angry face as if her reflection is a different person talking to her. Dictating her to say goodbye to Atif. Saying these words to her. ¡°I told you he is just like the others, he will avoid you, he will leave you, and he will abandon you also, like what your other friends did, like what you¡¯re past rtionship partners done to you. Much better to say goodbye now to him. SAY GOODBYE NOW! BEFORE YOU WILL GET HURT TOO MUCH BECAUSE YOUR EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED TO HIM. IT¡¯S NOW OR NEVER!¡± Aliyah heard her reflection shout at her in an angry manner. Aliyah follows her reflection. Reach her phone which she dropped on the floor earlier. Aliyah open her phone. She will send a goodbye message to Atif. She is afraid of the probable consequences of what her reflection told her if she will not say goodbye to Atif at this moment. Aliyah¡¯s hand is trembling because of the tension she felt right now. Aliyah identally open the camera of her phone. Aliyah sees herself on the camera in another version. Like what happened on the mirror Aliyah heard her own image talk to her. Aliyah sees her image on the camera as a different person and not herself as if it talks to her like her reflection on the mirror. But her image on the phone¡¯s camera appears different than what she seeing on the mirror. Her image talk in a soft voice. In a modest way. Aliyah heard her image saying these words to her: ¡°Don¡¯t listen to her. She is crazy. Believe me Atif wants you as a friend. He is not avoiding you. He is just a very busy person that¡¯s why ¡­¡± Aliyah heard her own image said to her. But when Aliyah looks again to the mirror in front of her she is seeing and hearing her reflection talking to her. ¡°Follow me or else you will just get hurt. I know you don¡¯t like to feel that feeling again¡± her reflection on the mirror said. But when she look on the phone camera, Aliyah seeing and hearing her image talk to her. Saying¡± Don¡¯t listen to her. You will just lost another good friend if you do that.¡± Aliyah stared again to the mirror and the back to the phone camera. She looks back in fort from the phone camera to the mirror and vice versa. Until her two reflections seems to her like insisting each and every one opinion to her. Aliyah don¡¯t know what to do. She sit on the floor of the bathroom covering her ears. Crying. She don¡¯t want to hear them anymore. KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK Aliyah heard that someone is knocking on the door of the bathroom. And that noise made her back to reality. She stand up from the floor and open the door of the bathroom. It¡¯s Maita her friend who is knocking. ¡°I¡¯ll just checking on you Aliyah. You spend almost an hour inside. Are you crying?¡± Maita asked. ¡°NO! I¡¯m not crying. It¡¯s just water. I washed my face.¡± Aliyah answered. ¡°Okay.¡± Maita said. Then Aliyah go outside the bathroom while Maita gets in. Aliyah go back to her bed. Then a few minutester. She fall asleep. While on the other hand, Atif is waiting for her reply. It¡¯s almost end of the office hours he don¡¯t get any reply from Aliyah. Atif think that Aliyah might feel sorry about what he said earlier that he will seldom reply to her message for he is busy. Atif feel a little bit annoy to Aliyah because he is thinking that Aliyah is making a drama for not replying to his message. Atif is annoy because Aliyah don¡¯t understand that he is just busy that¡¯s why he cannot reply always. He can¡¯t help himself send these message: ¡°Don¡¯t make a drama if I cannot reply to your message. I told you I¡¯m a very busy person. I know it¡¯s kind of rude to tell you these but as friend it¡¯s my duty to tell of what I think is not right about you.¡± Then he wait for Aliyah¡¯s reply. CHAPTER 17 CHAPTER 17 It¡¯s already 5:00 PM. End of the office hours at H & A Summit Holdings, Inc., but Aliyah still didn¡¯t reply to Atif message. Atif is wondering what Aliyah¡¯s thinking about his message and why she didn¡¯t reply. Aliyah fall asleep when she go back to her bed from the bathroom. Before she fall asleep she wasn¡¯t able to reply to Atif message because her psychological disorder is manifesting. Her emotions and decisions was splitting. The two sides of her personality collided. It seems like the other side of her personality takes the behavior of Atif as negative and it gives Aliyah a negative thoughts about Atif leads her to make decision to end up theirmunication. While the other side of her personality see Atif as good person and believe his reasons why he cannot Well that two side of her personality made her confused. As a result, her emotion is splitting. She can¡¯t make up her mind. In this situation reality is the middle ground. And she can only make a good decision if she manage to get back to reality. If she can ignore the two opposing side of her personality and made a decision based on reality. But in Aliyah¡¯s case, the negative side of her personality always win that leads her to behave badly. The negative side of her personality made her act annoyingly. Annoyingly in a way that she causes irritation or annoyance to someone. She acts in a way that makes someone feel slightly angry. What will happen if this side of personality of Aliyah seen by Atif? Will that side of Aliyah make Atif back away being a friend to her when she disy the negative side of her personality? Or will he remain as a friend to Aliyah even though he seen the dark side of her personality. Will the answers to that questions depend on how deep is his feeling of attachment for Aliyah? Or will it depend on the swing of his mood cause by being busy most of the time? 12:30 am Friday, in Asia It¡¯s 12 midnight. Aliyah wake up from her sleep because some mosquitos bite her on the face. When she wakes up, she cannot go back to sleep. She is too annoy because the mosquitos keep on biting her. She decided to watch movies on her phone instead of going back to sleep. For tomorrow is Saturday and she have no working schedule she can stay awake all night. Aliyah get up. Get her phone on the top of the table beside her bed where she left it before she go to bed. She open her phone. Search some movies to watch. In the drop down menu she read the following titles of movies: Ninja: Shadow of a Tear Fabricated City 47 Ronin Monster Hunt Johnny English From the options, Aliyah choose ¡°Johnny English¡± starring Mr. Bean. But before she can open the movie of ¡°Mr. Bean¡± a chat head from her phone messenger pop up. She got a message from Atif. Aliyah got irritated for she was disturbed from what is she doing. Aliyah immediately touch the chat head to drag it and hide it. But instead of hiding the chat head open by mistake. And nothing she can do but to read Atif message. The message of Atif made Aliyah get more irritated. The message of Atif goes like this: ¡°Don¡¯t make a drama if I cannot reply to your message. I told you I¡¯m a very busy person. I know it¡¯s kind of rude to tell you these but as friend it¡¯s my duty to tell of what I think is not right about you.¡± That message made Aliyah talk to herself. ¡°WHAT? Little while ago he thought that I am a psychiatric patient and now he is thinking that I¡¯m making a drama because he cannot reply to my message as quick as possible. As if I¡¯m oblige him to reply to my messages?¡± Aliyah feel so annoyed. She decided to type a reply to the message of Atif. While typing a message she feel so annoy and can¡¯t help talking to herself. ¡°You¡¯re so annoying¡± Aliyah said while staring at Atif¡¯s photo on chat head. A little while, before she go to sleep she is feeling sorry. Trying to wipe her tears with running water. Thinking that Atif is now making excuses just to avoid her. And feels that she don¡¯t want Atif to go. She finds it hard to let Atif go as if his reply is too important to her. BUT now when she wakes up the change of feeling happen. She feel irritated to Atif as if she don¡¯t like to read his message. Why? The answer is, the other side of her personality which is strong is manifesting. It made her feel she don¡¯t need anyone. She don¡¯t need someone tofort her if she had a problem or feeling lonely. The side that thinks negative thoughts about Atif. The side that wants to say goodbye to Atif. The side of Aliyah that serves as a defense mechanism to guard her feeling to avoid being hurt if somebody want to leave her. As a result her reply to the message of Atif goes like this: ¡°I just want to make it clear Sir, I¡¯m not making a drama. What made you think that I oblige you to reply to my messages as quick as possible? I never said that you have to reply to my messages as often. Yes I¡¯m sending message to you but you can answer it if you have time. Or you can simply ignore it if you want.¡± 5:30 pm Thursday, in Bosnia and Herzegovina Atif now is sitting inside his car. It¡¯s new Ferrari 488 GTB. He will go home now. It¡¯s already end of the office hours in H & A Summit Holdings, Inc., Engine started. Brakes checked. Mirrors adjusted. Music ying. Go! For itste afternoon, It¡¯s already sunset, The sky was starting to turn a nice shade of pink as Atif turned to the highway. A lovely mix of colors. His GPS gave him directions. On his way home he passed a small wedding chapel. He stopped for a while to watch the couple walk out the chapel. He see the couple walk out of the chapel smiling happily at the crowd with hands entwined together. Happiness. Love. Trust. Everything wonderful. He stared at the couple and imagined himself walking down the aisle with Haya. Tears started to flood his eyes. ¡°Happiness. What is happiness for me? Where can I find it?¡± Atif ask himself. He let himself think for a while longer but realized that this wasn''t the only way to get happiness. ¡°Marriage isn''t the only thing.¡± ¡°And I¡¯m still young for that matter.¡± ¡°Time to get back in the car and drive, continue on the journey of life.¡±This is from N?velDrama.Org. When he get back inside his car his phone chirp and vibrate. His face lit up when he see that the message is came from Aliyah. He decided to read the message first before he get back in driving his car. Aliyah¡¯s message said: ¡°I just want to make it clear Sir, I¡¯m not making a drama. What made you think that I oblige you to reply to my messages as quick as possible? I never said that you have to reply to my messages as often. Yes I¡¯m sending message to you but you can answer it if you have time. Or you can simply ignore it if you want.¡± Atif notice that it feels like a different person send the message for Aliyah never talk in this way to him. She is so sure of what she wants in the way she talk right now. What Atif think of Aliyah before is a woman whose don¡¯t know which way to go. But now she talk in different manner. And Atif remember someone who talk to him in the same way Aliyah did right now. That girl correct him in that tone like Aliyah have on her message. If that girl think that what he is saying or thinking is wrong. That girl correct him in that manner. And that girl is ¡°HAYA¡±. Atif ignore the thought about Haya. Take a deep breath, Then type his reply to Aliyah. ¡°Okay. Alright.¡± Atif replied. That¡¯s all he can say right now. But he feel d now even though Aliyah show different attitude. ¡°At least she understand me now.¡± Atif concluded. Then Atif get back driving his car. Going home with a smile on his face. Not knowing that on the next days he will feel annoy to Aliyah again. Aliyah is starting to show the other side of her personality to Atif. And Atif notice it this time. What will happen next if Atif totally sees the different side of Aliyah? For Aliyah is unwell this time, What will she do next will make Atif for sure annoy. Will that situation made theirmunication ends in the next few days? CHAPTER 18 CHAPTER 18 6:00 pm Monday, in Bosnia and Herzegovina Atif is walking up on the footbridge.

While Atif is driving back to Zenica. 10:00 am. H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. Atif is in his office now. Again and again he is busy doing his paper works. He is so busy talking to one of their client on the phone when he received a chat from Aliyah. He seen the notification on hisputer. The message said ¡°Goodbye.¡± Atif don¡¯t reply to the message. Hoping that it is just wrong sent. But he received the same message. And now his name is mentioned. The message said. ¡°Goodbye, Atif.¡± Now it¡¯s is clear the Aliyah really wants to said goodbye to him. Atif don¡¯t know what to say at this moment. Atif don¡¯t want to end their friendship but there¡¯s nothing he can do because Aliyah wants. Atif feel so sad. He don¡¯t want to send the same message. He don¡¯t send the word ¡°goodbye¡±. Hoping that if he don¡¯t send that word he will received another message from Aliyah. Instead he send this message; ¡°Look, I¡¯m busy right now. But we can talk. What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Aliyah replied. ¡°Nothing? But why you want to say goodbye?¡± Atif asked. ¡°Because I think I¡¯m falling for you.¡± Aliyah replied. Atif is shocked. At the same time he is tter. He feel happy because he feel the same way too. But what Atif knew it is wrong to feel this way. For what he knew was Aliyah is married. Aliyah have a husband. Aliyah have kids. But what he knew are all lies. The truth is Aliyah is single. No husband. No kids. But Aliyah didn¡¯t said the truth instead she continue telling lies to Atif. Atif is thinking the best answer to the message of Aliyah. He don¡¯t want to ruin Aliyah¡¯s life. But he don¡¯t want to end their friendship because of what Aliyah said. Atif thinking that maybe Aliyah is just mistaken of what she feel right now for him. Maybe that feeling is just for a friend. After an hour Atif replied. ¡°You knew that you have a husband. You have your life there. So it is not right for you to have feelings for me. We are just chatting as friends and nothing more than that.¡± Atif replied. ¡°Yes, I know that. Maybe I¡¯m just mistaken.¡± Aliyah replied. ¡°So we can still be friends?¡± Atif asked. ¡°No. I have to go. Maybe it is better we end up this way. Why I have this feeling that you don¡¯t want me to say goodbye. What do you want me to do?¡± Aliyah replied. ¡°Nothing. I¡¯m not asking you to do anything. It¡¯s up to you. Do what you want.¡± Atif replied. ¡°Goodbye.¡± Aliyah said. Atif take a deep breath before sending his reply. ¡°Okay. Goodbye.¡± Atif replied. But he cannot send his reply. The messenger app said; ¡°You cannot reply to this conversation. Learn more.¡± It only means that Aliyah block him already. He cannot talk to her anymore. Atif felt so disappointed. He can¡¯t imagine that Aliyah will do that. Few hours had passed. Still, Atif cannot concentrate on his work after their conversation. He made some error when signing some papers. Many of their employee notice that Atif is not in the mood. Yes, Atif never see Aliyah in person but he consider Aliyah as a real friend even though they just met in social media that¡¯s why Atif feel sad when Aliyah said goodbye to him. Also Atif develop an emotional attachment to Aliyah. He slowly falling for Aliyah also but he can¡¯t admit it. But Atif can do nothing about it just like when his friend Haya said goodbye to him when he was a little boy. Aliyah done to him right now only reminds Atif about what Haya done to him long time ago. Haya also left him. Haya also end their friendship. Haya also said goodbye and stop talking to him. Haya never talked to Atif again when she said goodbye. Then Atif heard the sad news one day that Haya was dead. Even though Haya left him Atif never forget Haya even until now. And maybe he will never forget Aliyah just like Haya. 5:00 Pm. End of office hours in H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. Atif is preparing to go home. At exactly 5:30 he go out on the office and drive home. Atif is on his way home. While driving he still think about what Aliyah done to him. Because letting her go is never easy. He feel the same feeling just like what he felt about when Haya said goodbye long time ago. Letting Haya go is never easy. Aliyah reminds Atif of that feeling. It¡¯s the same old feeling that back again. Atif remember the past years when Haya is still with him. When Haya was always there for him as a friend that care he felt so right. But when Haya said goodbye, Atif felt lost. He don¡¯t know what to do. Each and every day he wish that Haya wouldeback. But Haya never did. Haya totally left Atif standing all alone, facing tomorrow, his future on his own. Because the news spread that Haya was gone. Remembering those things made Atif decide to pass by before he go home to the ce where he first met Haya. Atif parked his car on the side of the street near the fast food building where Haya used to buy him food when he is still a little boy. Staring on the building, Haya appear on Atif¡¯s imagination that she is standing in front of the fast food waiting for him. This is from N?velDrama.Org. But Atif knew that scene will only exist in his imagination at present and that will never happen again. Thinking about that reality made him almost cry. He¡¯s holding back his tears with all his might for him not to cry totally. And now he is mumbling. Saying the words that he wanted to say to Haya. And maybe as well as to Aliyah. ¡°Yes I know I got to face tomorrow on my own because you gone and left me. But before I let you go I want to say you¡¯ll be forever in my heart. I miss you each and every day because letting you go is never easy but I know someday I have to find a way to leave your memories behind me. I guess I will never really move on but it wasn¡¯t meant to be for life must go on even without you now.¡± ¡°Hope this will be myst cry and I can put these things out of my mind.¡± Atif said to himself as he started the engine of his car and decided to go back driving home. 12:00 am, in Asia On the other hand. Atif grandfather Haris reached his destination in Asia. He is already taking a rest in one of the luxurious hotel in Asian country. Haris decided to make a phone call to Atif. Atif is already at home when he received the phone call from Haris. Haris just checking if Atif is already at home because Haris receive a text message from Jasmin. Jasmin seen Atif visiting his old dwelling ce during his childhood years that¡¯s why he text Haris. Haris forbid Atif to visit that ce. For dis obeying Haris, Atif received a sermon from him. Because Atif receive a sermon from Haris he got the feeling that he wants to talk to Aliyah again for Yes, before he also tell his problem to Aliyah and Aliyah gave him advice too just like what Atif did when Aliyah tell him her problems. But now he cannot for their friendship is over. He lost another friend that¡¯s why Atif asking himself these questions: ¡°Where did I go wrong? What did I do to make them said goodbye?¡± CHAPTER 21 CHAPTER 21 8:00 am in Asia Haris is sitting in a coffee shop. Talking to a man who looks like a private investigator. His name is Seth. Private investigator is a frence detective who carries out investigations on behalf of private clients. A private investigator searches clues to gather evidence for private clients. They interview people, verify information, find missing persons and gather vital facts for cases. Yes Haris is talking to a private investigator whose name is Seth. Seth found the missing person Haris wants to find again. Seth seeds in finding the person Haris wants to find. And that is the very reason why Haris had this trip here in Asia. Seth will apany Haris to that person whom he wants to find. But wait, who is that missing person Haris wants to find. Well he just wants to find Haya again. Haris hired a private investigator again to find Haya. The old man hopes again that Haya is not really dead when he sees the photo of thedy whom Atif is chatting withtely. Thedy looks very simr to Haya. In addition to that thedy is living in a country near where the cruise ship sank. So Haris thought that thedy has something to do with Haya or she is exactly Haya. Because of that Haris hired Seth, a private investigator to find thedy that his grandson Atif is chatting with to find out what is the truth behind that simr look. It''s not impossible for Haris to find thedy for he has the money to pay for an investigator. At first Haris got a problem on how, the investigator would find thedy whom Atif was chatting with for he got no photo of thedy to present to the investigator. Thedy had no photo on her social media ounts. What Haris got are only the name of thedy and the hometown. Aside from that Haris has no other information about thedy. Butter he got the idea that he will just give the photo of Haya just to give the investigator an idea on how thedy looks. And that idea of Haris clicked. The investigator found thedy. And Haris is right she has something to do with Haya. Thedy and Haya are only one person. Thatdy is Haya. But she is living in a different identity for she got amnesia caused by that tragic ident. It''s a long time ago that Haya was reported missing because the passenger ship that Haya and her father together with her stepmother boarded to travel here in Asia met with a tragic ident. A passenger ship is primarily used for carrying passengers. The category includes ferries, yachts, ocean liners and cruise ships. Haya''s father decided to travel here in Asia just for a tour, a leisure trip. He wants to travel for vacation with his new wife for them to spend more time together. Since it was Haya''s 15th birthday, her father decided to take her with them to give her a birthday treat. N?velDrama.Org owns this. But an unexpected incident happened on the cruise ship that will take them to Asian country. Cruise ships arerge passenger ships used mainly for vacationing. Cruise ships are organized much like floating hotels, and feature amenities such as theaters, fine- dining and chain restaurants, spas, fitness centers, casinos, sports facilities, and even amusement park attractions. Cruise ships require electricity for powering both hotel services and propulsion. Propulsion is the mechanism or system used to generate thrust to move a ship across water. For the cruise ships require electricity to move across water, an electrical failure will cause an ident. The cruise ship that Haya and his father boarded met an ident because of an electrical failure that caused the cruise ship to sink. The ident was tragic. Many of the passengers survived including Haya''s father and stepmother. But some of the passengers were reported missing and Haya was included in the list. Few months had passed and the passengers who were missing were found. Some were alive but some are not. The investigators and the rescuers concluded that Haya was dead for she is the only one who is still lost. But the body of Haya was not found. And a few monthster the investigation about the tragic ident was closed. Even though that is the conclusion of the rescuers and investigator that Haya was dead, the father of Haya never gave up in hoping that Haya was still alive. He still searched for Haya but years had passed, still he couldn''t find Haya. Until more years had passed but his effort in searching for Haya was just wasted. He never found Haya again. Haya''s father''s hope was lost, he just epted that his only daughter was dead. Even Haris, Atif¡¯s grandfather at that time when the ident happened, hired some individuals to find Haya. But also his effort was wasted. Those individuals couldn''t find Haya. All people that knew Haya including her parents, rtives and friends believe that she is dead when years pass by. The investigator concluded that maybe she is trapped inside the sunken ship and her body is dposed that''s why they cannot find her. But now, ording to the new investigator that Haris hired to search Haya again that conclusion is totally a mistake. Haya didn''t die when the cruise ship sank. Haya was just carried away by the big waves far from where the other passenger¡¯s body went. In addition to that, Haya got amnesia, she forgot who she was. That''s why she cannot inform her father or any person she knows that she is alive and survived that traumatic ident. If that would be the case how would Seth, the private investigator confirm that thedy is really Haya? Well, Haris and Seth the private investigator are talking about it. "Are you sure thatdy is really Haya?" Haris asked. "Yes Sir, here take this envelope. All the evidence that confirms that she is really Haya are inside. Take a look at it." Answer Seth as he handed down the envelope to Haris. Inside the envelope are some photos of Haya during her teenage years which looks very simr to the photo that Haris gave to Seth to use for the investigation. But where did Seth get those photos? Seth got those photos from the old woman who found Haya a long time ago. The old woman whom Haya knew as her grandmother at present. The old woman told him the truth that Haya is not really her granddaughter. The old woman is living in a fishing vige in the countryside a few kilometers away from where the cruise ship sank. "The old woman found Haya lying on the seashore beside the fishing boat that her son and nephew used to catch fish for a living." said Seth. Haris didn''t say a word because he is listening to the story that Seth is telling to him and simultaneously examining the photos and documents on the envelope. "But Haya didn''t know who she was when she woke up. So the old woman decided to adopt her and gave her a new identity for she doesn''t even know her name. And from that moment until now Haya was using that name which she gave to her by the old woman. ¡°Seth added to what he said before. "I see." Haris answers as he gets the photo that gets his attention. It was noticed by Seth that Haris attention was caught by the old almost blurred photo of Haya and a little boy. The photo of a little boy was almost erased, especially his face because the photo seems to get wet a long time ago. "Is that photo familiar to you Sir?" asked Seth. "Yes I am, even though this photo is blurred and almost ruined. My grandson possessed a simr photo to this. The little boy in this photo is my grandson Atif. So how the olddy has this photo?" asked Haris with curiosity in his voice. CHAPTER 22 CHAPTER 22 Is that photo familiar to you Sir?" asked Seth. "Yes I am, even though this photo is blurred and almost ruined. My grandson possessed a simr photo to this. The little boy in this photo is my grandson Atif. So how the olddy has this photo?" asked Haris with curiosity in his voice. "Well, when the olddy found Haya, she carried a small bag on her hand which the zipper is open and probably the things which are inside was dropped and only a wallet left inside. The wallet have photo slots made of stic and fortunately some of the photos which are these photo given to me by the old woman was saved from being soaked in water. ¡°Seth exined. "If they got a wallet from Haya''s bag why don''t they even read any information about Haya?" asked Haris. "Sir, unfortunately the wallet is intended only to hold some photos and Haya used it to keep these photos and her money. They found nothing inside her wallet aside from these photos and some money bills. No name, no address or even a telephone number." Seth answered. "Okay, but why didn''t they remind Haya with these photos? Maybe her memoryes back if they show these photos to her." Haris asked. "They tried but it is better not to mention it again to Haya for some reasons.¡± Seth said. Seth tell the reasons why the old woman don¡¯t want to remind Haya again with these things. Here is the reasons why the old woman stop reminding Haya about the photos she found on the wallet inside the bag that Haya is carrying when she found Haya on the seashore: Haya got a trauma. She developed phobia. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. The old woman, Elsa is afraid to show the photos, the wallet and the bag to Haya. She is afraid that Haya will suffer again the phobia she had before if she see these things that will remind her of what happened to her long ago. So the old woman just waited the time when Haya will regain her memory and will tell them who really she is. But many years had passed it never happened. Phobia is an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something. She had a phobia about being under water. She is afraid to go to the sea shore. She fear anything rted to water. She felt she is drowning whenever she touched water. Becauseter she partially remember what had happen to her on the ocean. She recall the sinking ship, what had happened to her when she jumped into the ocean before the ship totally wrecked by the big waves. She recalled what had happen to the sinking ship but not the ce where it happened. She recalled what had happen to her when the ship is sinking but not her name and where she came from. For she don¡¯t know her name Elsa called her by name Aliyah. Haya developed an amnesia ording to the doctor that¡¯s why she cannot remember who she is and where she came from. From that day, Haya became part of their family. Elsa helped Haya to recover from trauma. They guessed that Haya is came from a sunken ship somewhere. But Haya got a temporary amnesia. She don¡¯t remember who she is and where she came from. She don¡¯t even remember her name and why she got there. Because of trauma she developed dissociative amnesia. Dissociative amnesia is a condition in which a person cannot remember important information about his or her life. This forgetting may be limited to certain specific areas (thematic), or may include much of the person¡¯s life history and/or identity (general). Dissociative amnesia has been linked to overwhelming stress, which may be caused by traumatic events such as war, abuse, idents, or disasters. The person may have suffered the trauma or just witnessed it. In some rare cases, the person may forget most or all of his personal information (name, personal history, friends), and may sometimes adopt apletely new identity. In all cases of dissociative amnesia, the person has a much greater memory loss than would be expected in the course of normal forgetting. Severe trauma or stress can also cause dissociative amnesia. With this condition, your mind rejects thoughts, feelings, or information that you¡¯re too overwhelmed to handle, lead to amnesia as well as forgetting other details of your life. That is the case of Haya. Her mind rejects the thoughts, feelings and information caused by traumatic events that she suffered. Dissociative amnesia is different from amnesia caused by medical problems, such as illnesses, strokes, or brain injuries. In medically caused amnesia, recovering memories are rare and generally a slow and gradual process. While in dissociative amnesia often, when memories return, they do so suddenly andpletely. Memory recovery may happen on its own, after being triggered by something in the person¡¯s surroundings, or in therapy. In Haya¡¯s case, her memory didn¡¯t return for a long time for she developed or totally adopt apletely new identity and no one or nothing can remind her of her true identity. And as time passed by she ovee her phobia and forget all about what had happened to her (her experienced) on the sinking ship. BUT when timees that something or someone in her surroundings trigger her mind to remember her past, her memories will return. She will remember who she is. For in dissociative amnesia memory recovery happen on its own after being triggered by something in the person¡¯s surroundings. "So it means Haya totally developed a new identity and totally forgot her true identity?" Haris asked again. "Exactly Sir. But maybe she will remember who she really is if something, someone or some event will trigger the memory to remember her past. ¡°Seth exined. "Maybe if she will go home to our country, she will remember who she is. But we cannot just tell her about her true identity without showing the most concrete or more reliable evidence to convince her. For her to trust us. ¡°Haris was worried on how to tell these things to Haya. "If that would be the case Sir, a DNA test will do. We will just need a sample to testing from Haya and from her parents or any rtives of her to match and convince her that she is really Haya. The missing person that you were looking for long ago.¡± Seth suggest. "I am worried if she will cooperate with us to give some sample. Yes her parents will cooperate if they want to find Haya again. But the problem is would Haya believe us." Haris said. "Sir if we cannot proved her identity using DNA test, I will suggest that we offer Haya an overseas job located in our country, in Bosnia and Herzegovina to make her go back to our country. And from that maybe she will remember everything about herself if she will stay longer in our country." Seth suggested. "That is a great idea. I will open my new business to workers from overseas. I will hire factory workers from here in Asia to work in my manufacturingpany there in Bosnia. ¡°Haris agreed to the suggestion of the private investigator. "That is good Sir so that it will not be obvious that we are offering a job just to Haya. She will not be suspicious of our intention. By offering her a job we can make her go home to our country without making further exnation to her. ¡®¡®Said Seth. ¡°So the n is we will not tell to her, her real identity at first and let her regain her memory on her own by making her go home to our country? Well, Hope this n will work Seth.¡± Haris said. ¡°I Hope so that it will work. Hope she will regain her memory when she go back in our country.¡± Seth answered. "Alright. I will call Atif to prepare such things about the job opening. I will tell him to add that option if the workers to work for us. The set up in the factory will be about to finish and the hiring process of the workers will start at the end of this month." Haris exined. "Okay Sir, the timing is good." Seth said. "Yes, really. So you should take care of the rest. Arranged the hiring process here. Talk to the old woman, tell her to convince Haya to work abroad, to apply in thepany. Do your best to make our n work." Haris said "Yes Sir, you can count on me." Seth said. CHAPTER 23 CHAPTER 23 "When I go home to our countryter this week I will talk to Haya''s father about this. I¡¯m sure he will be happy that we found her daughter." Haris said. "Not only Haya''s father will be happy but most of all your grandson, Atif." Seth said. N?velDrama.Org owns this. "Yes, and that is my gift for his birthday. Atif will celebrate his birthday the next few months. And that is the best gift I can ever give to him-"to see his long lost friend Haya again." Haris said. "I''m sure Atif will be so excited to see her if you told him that Haya is alive." Seth said. "Yes he will. But If Haya ept our job offer, applied topany, and start working there, at first I will not tell it to Atif that she is Haya. I will just tell him that thedy whom he is chatting with whose name is Aliyah, her friend in social media applied in ourpany as a factory worker. And maybe if they always see each other, talk to each other, Haya in some way will regain her memory. And from that, Atif will discover that she is Haya. ¡°Haris exined his n to Seth. ¡°Okay, Sir that is good idea.¡± Seth agreed to Haris n. Haris pulls a checkbook, writes arge amount on the check and gives it to Seth. "Here take this as my partial payment. ¡°Haris said as he handed the check to the Seth. "Sir this amount covers the whole amount that we agreed as payment for my job. Why you said it''s just partial payment? Anyway thank you." said Seth. "Because I will give you the same amount after you totally finished your job, ¡°Haris said. "No Sir, that is too much. I only take this money. ¡°Seth said. Haris smiled and said. "That amount is nothingpared to what you did. Job well done Seth." "Thank you Sir. My pleasure to serve you for you''ve done many good things to my family before." said Seth-the private investigator. Harisughed and said: "You''re wee Seth. So let''s go tour me around the city before I go home to our country." "Okay, Sir." Seth agreed to Haris. ¡°Let¡¯s take me to the ce where you found Haya. I want to give a reward to the family that adopted and take care for Haya. They deserve a reward.¡± Haris said. ¡°Okay, Sir Haris. Let¡¯s go.¡± Seth answered. Then the both stand up in go outside the coffee shop. Get into the car and drive away from the coffee shop. Haris and Seth drive to the ce where Haya is considering her hometown at present. It is a small fishing vige in the countryside. Haris meets the old woman, Elsa, who is considered by Haya as her grandmother at present. Elsa belongs to a poor family living near the seashore. Haris felt pity on Haya when he saw what kind of life Haya is living with these past years of her life. But Haris thanks Elsa for treating Haya as if Haya is her own grandchild. Haris can say that Elsa''s family have a good heart; they consider Haya as their true rtive even though Haya doesn''t really belong to them. They admit that Haya is of big help to them. Haya got a job in the city and supported almost all of Elsa''s family needs. Out of Haya''s sry she supported Elsa''s family to cope up for their basic needs. Because of that Haya stays single rather than to get married because she chose to support and help Elsa''s family which Haya considers also as her own family at present. Haris asked Elsa to convince Haya to work in hispany in Bosnia and Herzegovina to make Haya go back to her own country. Haris and Seth exin to Elsa their n to help Haya to regain her memory by sending her back to her own country. Elsa agreed to them. Even though the olddy feels sad thinking that Haya will leave them when she regains her memory. But Elsa knew that she would need to do what is right for Haya. She cannot keep Haya to stay with them when she knows that Haya will deserve a better life than this kind of life that they have here. They agreed that Elsa would convince Haya to apply for an overseas job which is located in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Seth will pretend as a customer or a client who will buy arge amount of fish from Peter. Peter is Elsa''s son, who is a fisherman. Seth will pretend as a customer who is very talkative that he talk many things about fish, about factories and even about the job offers that have in their country. Seth will do that when Haya goes home in this ce when the weekendes. Haya goes home during the weekend. So it is the best time Seth will do his job. Seth will pretend to buy fish from them and indirectly offers the overseas job for Haya. Their n is; Seth will talk about the job to Elsa or Peter informing them that there is a hiring of factory workers there in his country in Bosnia and Herzegovina. And there is a hiring of employees that is happening here in this country which is the agency is located in the city where Haya is working as a factory worker. Seth will tell them that an experienced factory worker if ever there is in their family can apply. The role of Elsa or Peter is to point Haya as an experienced factory worker. After Peter or Elsa point Haya, Seth will give a calling card and the location of the agency where Haya can apply for the overseas job. Then after giving that information Seth will leave carrying the fish that he bought from Peter. When Seth leaves the vige, Elsa will convince Haya to apply for the job. Elsa will convince Haya by telling her that the sry that Haya can get from that job is enough to give them a good life. For sure Haya will follow her for their family is too important to Haya. After discussing the n, Haris gives Elsa''s family a reward for helping Haya when they found them many years ago. Haris gives them some amount of money enough for the family to buy a new fishing boat that they can use for earning a living. Haris saw that their boat was totally worn out but he knew that the family can''t afford to buy a new one to rece their old fishing boat that''s why Haris gives them money for them to have a new one. After giving the reward, Haris and Seth leave the house of Elsa. They drive back to the city where the hotel which Haris is staying for a week is located. When they arrived at the hotel it''s already evening. Haris takes his dinner after he takes an hour of rest. Seth goes home to the ce where he is renting since Haris gave this job to him, finding Aliyah in this country. Thenter he discovers that Haya and Aliyah are only one person. CHAPTER 24 CHAPTER 24 3:00am Wednesday, in Asia 8:00pm Tuesday in Bosnia and Herzegovina Haris wakes up early in the morning to call Atif. Haris wants to talk to Atif about hiring of overseas workers for the new factory that they about to open as part of his n and Seth to send Haya back to Bosnia and Herzegovina But of course Haris will never tell Atif the real reasons why he wants to implement such things in their new business. Haris gets up intentionally early in the morning to talk to Atif for they have different time zones. He never called Atifst night because it is morning in Bosnia and Herzegovina and he knew that Atif is very busy in the conference. Atif called a conference for signing of contracts of the investors and suppliers for the newpany. This early morning Haris will call Atif for he knows that it''s already evening there in their country and Atif is already at home and not so busy with work. Atif is eating dinner when he receives the phone call from Haris. "Hello Grandfather. How are you?" Atif asked when he answered the call. "I''m doing fine Atif. I just call to give you some instructions about the hiring of factory workers in our new factory." Haris said. "What is it Grandfather? Tell me so that I can implement it before the hiring process begins." Atif asked. "I want to give an opportunity to overseas workers to work in ourpany. So I want 10% of the workers toe from overseas workers. In fact I talk to some individuals here in Asia that our Herzegovina. The hiring process of the agency here is about to start next week." Haris answered. "Okay, Grandfather I will arrange the necessary working permits for those who will be hired for them to be able to work in our factory. ¡°Atif said. "That is good Atif. Anyway I heard from your father Mateo that the signing of a contract yesterday for the investors and suppliers for our factory was sessful. Keep up the good work Atif." Haris said. "I will Grandfather." Atif answered. "I will go home soon. Thising weekend I will be there again." Haris informed Atif. "Okay, Grandfather. Just take care." Atif said. "Thank you Atif. I will." Haris answered. After their conversation Atif finished eating his dinner. Then he went up into his room. He proceeded to the balcony of his room. There he saw the full moon. Atif loves watching the moon when it is in its full face. The full moon reminds him about Aliyah. Aliyah loves to talk about the full moon. Atif takes a deep breath and goes back inside his room. He doesn''t want to remember Aliyah anymore. He doesn''t want to remember the things they used to talk about. He doesn''t want to remember all the things that remind him of Aliyah. Because Atif doesn''t want to feel the pain of losing her as a friend like Haya. Atif walked straight to his bed. Lay down. A few minutester he falls asleep because he is too tired all day long, attending business meetings as a representative of Haris for Haris is not around. An hourter Atif dreams about his friend Haya. These are the scenes that he saw in his dream. He is standing in front of the crowd of newly hired employees for theirpany is about to start its operation The human resource department introduced Atif as the manager of the newpany. Then Atif suddenly sees a familiar person among the employees. He is not mistaken, the girl who is standing in the crowd is Haya. Atif haste to get close to Haya. Then when he get close to Haya, Atif asked her; "Haya, is that you?" Atif asked. Haya turned around and looked at Atif. But she never answers the question of Atif. "Where have you been Haya? I''m d you came back." Atif asked Haya again when he didn''t get any answer from her. But Haya just raised her eyebrows instead of answering Atif. Then stared at Atif with a sinister look. "Haya, maybe you don''t remember me anymore because I am not a little boy anymore. I¡¯m Atif. Your friend remember? "Atif reminds Haya of who he is. Thinking that maybe she is not answering because she doesn''t recognize him anymore. But still Haya didn''t answer or talk to him. She just stared at Atif with a sharp look in her eyes. That look made Atif nervous and slightly afraid. "What is wrong Haya?" Atif asked again. But before he gets an answer from Haya, the trainer from the HR department calls the attention of all new employees to wear their mandated uniforms andpany IDs, and falls in line to enter inside the orientation room. Haya wears the uniform and ID that thepany mandates and goes to the end of the line where the employees fall in line. Atif blink his eyes twice when he sees what is written on Haya''s ID. As if he wants to check if what he reads is correct. Yes, what he reads is correct. The name which is written on Haya''s ID is not "HAYA" but "ALIYAH". Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock! Atif was woken up because somebody is knocking on the door of his room. Atif was breathing fast when he woke up. When heposes himself he stands up and opens the door of his room to see who is knocking. N?velDrama.Org owns this. It is his stepsister Hana. ¡°Yes Hana what is it?" Atif asked when he saw his step sister outside the door. "I will just return your car keys. Thank you for letting me borrow your car this afternoon." Hana answered as she gave the car keys to Atif. "No worries. You can always borrow it when you need it." Atif answered. "If that so, thank you in advance my little brother. I will borrow it again next week. ¡°Hana said with a smile on her face. "Your wee. Look I''m grown up now but still you call me little brother." Atif answered andughed. "Okay! Goodnight. ¡°Hanaughed also. Hana used to call Atif that way ever since. Way back when they are kids until now. "Goodnight¡±. Atif answered. Then Hana goes to her own room as Atif get inside again in his room. CHAPTER 25 CHAPTER 25 Atif goes back to bed. But he cannot go back to sleep. He was bothered about his dream. He still thinks about the meaning of it. Because of that Atif found himself creating another social media ount with a different name. Not his real name. Why? Because he wants to see the photo of Aliyah. To know if Aliyah looks like Haya. He never bothers to look at what the real face of Aliyah looks like when they are still chatting to each other. Because Aliyah appearance is not important to him. But now he wants to see it. He created a new social media ount because Aliyah blocked Atif on his old ount. He cannot use that old ount to check the social media ount of Aliyah. After creating a new ount he started to search the ounts of Aliyah. He found it but there is no photo on it, even a single one. Atif thinks of a way on how he can see a photo of Aliyah. He decided that he will chat Aliyah, make friends with her, then he will ask her to send a photo of her. Anyway Atif is not using his real name so Aliyah won''t find out that it is him. Atif started sending messages to Aliyah. "Hi" Atif sent a message. Atif waits if Aliyah will reply. 11:00 pm, in Bosnia Herzegovina 6:00 am, in Asia Aliyah is eating her breakfast when she received the message of Atif. Aliyah has no work today. It is her day off that is why she will be able to reply to all the messages that areing from her rtives and friends. She is scrolling the messages from her messenger when she noticed that there is a message in the message request section. Aliyah opened the message request to see the content of the message. "Hi" the sender said. The sender name is Almir. Almir is also Atif just hiding on another name, using new social media ount. Aliyah decided to reply. "Hi. Where are you from?" Aliyah replied. At this moment Aliyah is not in her real self. Her psychological condition which is unknown to her is manifesting right now. Aliyah suffers from splitting personality and from splitting emotions. The other side is good and the other side is bad. As if there is always a battle between good and evil in her mind, in her emotions, in her personality inside of her. Whichever have strong manifestations on the moment when the battle begins will win. Depends upon on the situations why the battle begins. Unknowingly, splitting is her defense mechanism to guard her feelings, to avoid being hurt when she thinks that someone whom she developed an emotional attachment will leave and will abandon her. Even if that leaving or abandoning is for real or just a result of overthinking. The other side of her personality which is bad is manifesting at this moment. When this side of her personality is manifesting, Aliyah is not cautious of her actions. She is too careless on her words, she is too frank on her speech. She don¡¯t know how to consider the feelings of others. The worst thing is she will y games with you until you get annoy. But Aliyah didn¡¯t know what she is doing. She didn¡¯t really mean to hurt the feeling of others. Unknowingly because of her psychological disorder she is capable of hurting someone¡¯s feelings as a result of her fooling actions, throwing of harsh words and unkind treatment to others. And this side of Aliyah''s personality is unknown to Atif. When they are still friends in his old social media ount Atif never seen it. What Atif knew is Aliyah is ady who is nice to talk with. Always modest and polite with her words. This is from N?velDrama.Org. A kind person and good to others. After 25 minutes of waiting Atif received a reply from Aliyah. "Hi. Where are you from?" Aliyah''s message. "From Bosnia." Atif replied. "Where in Bosnia?" Aliyah replied. "From Tesanj." Atif said. "What is your name?" Aliyah asked. "Almir is my name." Atif replied. "So what can I do for you Almir? Aliyah asked. "Can we be friends?" Atif replied. "Okay. So what are you doing right now? ¡°Aliyah said. Atif smiles and types his reply. He smiles because he thinks that his n is working. But he noticed something. Aliyah replied in a different manner. ¡°Ha-ha. Nothing, just chatting with you. ¡°Atif replied. "Really? Aren''t you busy? ¡°Aliyah asked. "Of course not. ¡°Atif replied. "This time you are not busy. But maybe tomorrow you will?" Aliyah replied. When Atif reads the message of Aliyah he wants to divert the topic immediately. Atif don¡¯t want to talk about that topic. So he sends a message which is far from what Aliyah said. "Are you single? Atif asked to divert the topic. Even Though what he knew is Aliyah is married. That is what he knew about Aliyah. That Aliyah is married. Atif is surprised with Aliyah''s reply. "Yes, I am." Aliyah replied. What?!! Atif didn''t understand why Aliyah is denying that she is married. Atif wants to confirm if Aliyah is just kidding so he send this message; "Do you have kids?" Atif asked. "Hahaha, I have no kids Almir. Do I look like a mother?" Aliyah replied. Atif was shocked. Not only with what Aliyah said that she has no kids but on the manner in which Aliyah talks. Aliyah neverughed like that in her chat to him in his other ount. Atif had a second thought that maybe he messaged a wrong ount. Before he replies to Aliyah''s message, Atif double checks the profile of Aliyah. "No. I¡¯m not mistaken, this is Aliyah''s ount. ¡°Atif mumble. Then he typed his reply to Aliyah. "How will I know Aliyah? You have no photo on your ount." Atif said. "Really? What I knew is I just uploaded a new photo on my ount. I''m the one who is on the cover photo." Aliyah replied to the message of Atif. When Atif reads her message he immediately checks the profile of Aliyah to see if she is telling the truth. Yes, Aliyah is telling the truth. The cover photo of her ount was changed just now. Aliyah uploaded her photo but her whole face in the photo is not revealed. She is wearing a face mask and eyesses which is enough to hide her face. Atif takes a deep breath in dismay. He cannot see the whole face of Aliyah. How he canpare if she looks like Haya. But Atif notices something that they have simr hair color and skinplexion. And based on Aliyah''s photo she didn''t look like she was a mother. CHAPTER 26 CHAPTER 26 Atif gets confused about what is true about Aliyah''s civil status. Atif had this question in mind. "Is she really married or single still?" So to know what the truth is and what is a lie, Atif decided to continue to chat Aliyah using his fake ount with the name Almir. At first Atif purpose on making fake ount is just he wanted to see the photo of Aliyah topare if Aliya and Haya have simr physical appearance? Yes, butter he got curious on what Aliyah said that she is single. The fact that she said before that she is married and has kids. Atif decided to reply again to Aliyah''s message. "Yeah. I saw your cover photo and honestly you don''t look like a mother. Maybe you are not." Atif replied. "Maybe I''m not? So you don''t believe what I said?" Aliyah asked. "Honestly No. I don''t." Atif answered. "Hahaha. But why?" Aliyah asked. When Atif reads the reply of Aliyah he wants to say these words to her but he can''t of course for Aliyah not to know that he is Atif using a fake ount: "How would I believe in you when you said before that you are married." He wants to say that but he can¡¯t. So Atif just type this message; "Because I have this feeling that you are just telling a lie to me." Atif said. "So if you don''t believe me that is your problem." Aliyah answered. Atif didn''t expect this kind of reply from Aliyah. Because what he knew about Aliyah is always polite, modest and kind when replying to his message. But now Atif can''t believe that Aliyah behaves like she is just ying games by telling lies to him. "Please quit ying games. Just tell me the truth." Atif replied. "I am telling you right? But you don''t believe in me. And now you use me that I just y games while I''m not." Aliyah replied on Atif chat. "Because you are." Atif answered. "Who are you to use me like that? Do we know each other? ¡°Aliyah replied. ¡°I just know that you''re not telling the truth." Atif said. "How did you know?" Aliyah asked. Atif doesn''t know what to say that''s why he didn''t answer the question of Aliyah. Instead he sent this message. "Prove me wrong so I will believe in you." Atif dare Aliyah. "And why will I do that? It¡¯s your problem that you don¡¯t believe what I''ve said so don''t oblige me to give some proof for you to believe me." Aliyah replied. Atif slightly annoyed at Aliyah''s reply. So Atif send this message; ¡°Do you know Atif?" Atif asked. ¡°Yes, I knew someone whose name is Atif. But I don¡¯t know if he is the ¡°ATIF ¡°you¡¯re talking about." Aliyah said. "Are you friends?¡± Atif asked. "That was before but not anymore." Aliyah answered. Atif take a deep breathe when he read the message of Aliyah. Atif gets this conclusion in his mind that he is not really important to Aliyah. That when she totally ends theirmunication, she also forgets their friendship. "So I am the only one standing, and stranded in the same ground because I can''t forget the memories of our friendship." Atif mumbled. What Aliyah said totally hurt Atif''s feeling. But Atif still replied to Aliyah. "And why are you not friends anymore? ¡°Atif asked. "Honestly I got emotionally attached to him because he is kind to me. Atif seems like really cares as a real friend even though he and I are just friends on social media. Thenter I slowly fell for Atif. I don''t want to fall in love again. I don''t want to get hurt anymore. I know he can''t stay. I know one day he will stop themunication that he and I have. Especially when he get a girlfriend there in his country. So when I noticed that Atif start making excuses to avoid me I decided to stop themunication between Atif and me before he will be the one to do it. I am the one who stop it first so he don¡¯t have to make excuses." Aliyah exined. Atif was so surprised at what Aliyah said. He noticed the anger in Aliyah¡¯s message. ¡°Is she angry with me? I¡¯m never make any excuses just to avoid her.¡± Atif mumbled. Atif continues to pretend as Almir for two reasons: First just to know if what Aliyah¡¯s reasons are true; second is to know if she is really angry with him. Atif sent another message. "But why do you need to fall in love with him? ording to Atif you have a husband. You have kids? Is that true?" Atif asked. "No, I just lie to him." Aliyah replied. "What?! But why do you do that?" Atif asked. He can''t believe that Aliyah just lied to him before. Atif just gets so confused on what Aliyah is revealing to him this time. 2:00 am in Bosnia and Herzegovina 9:00 am in Asia It''s already dawn but Atif chooses to continue their chatting than to end it. Because he wants to know the truth. He still waits for the reply of Aliyah. This is from N?velDrama.Org. Atif receive the reply of Aliyah to his message. He immediately open her message and read; "I just want it that way to introduce myself to a stranger. It never cross on my mind that Atif and I will became friendster. I can¡¯t take back all my lies for I¡¯m afraid that he won¡¯t trust me anymore. So I continue telling lies to him. And as far as I know it''s none of your business. Why are you asking too many questions? '''' Aliyah said. Atif can¡¯t help his smile. He notices that Aliyah gets annoyed at him. "Nothing. I just want to know." Atif replied. "And what will you get if you know the answers to your questions?¡± Aliyah replied. Atifughed this time. He knew Aliyah was getting more annoyed at him. Even though Atif knew that Aliyah was annoyed he still sent a message to her. "But by ending themunication with Atif do you really forget your feelings for him? Do you really stop yourself from falling to him?" Atif asked. "No. She can''t. ¡°Aliyah replied. This time there¡¯s a sudden switch in Aliyah¡¯s emotions and personality. The other side of her personality manifest, the weaker and good side. So Aliyah replies to Atif like that. The weaker/good side of Aliyah''s personality is referring to the stronger/bad side of her personality. That the stronger/bad side of her personality stops themunication with Atif but still remembers the times when they are still friends and don¡¯t forget the feelings for him. This stronger/bad side of Aliyah personality often ends themunication with others whom she thinks that will abandon or leave her; too afraid of being abandon or rejected by others; easily consider those individuals as bad that lead Aliyah be angry and discard those individuals in her life. The weaker/good side of her personality is the one talking to Atif right now that''s why she said "No She can''t." CHAPTER 27 CHAPTER 27 Persons with this kind of personality disorder like what Aliyah have finds trouble regting their emotions effectively. They may experience splitting. Splitting is a term that refers to seeing things as all good or all bad. Frequently sees things in ck and white terms, which means things and people are seen as either all good or all bad. They don¡¯t believe good people can be bad sometimes or can make mistakes, which can lead to bing consumed with anger toward people. For them, things, experiences, and people were either all bad or all good, totally wonderful or totally worthless, Splitting is considered a coping mechanism that helps a person like Aliyah avoid getting hurt. It allows them to discard things and people they have decided are all bad. A defense mechanismmonly developed by people who have experience early life traumas, such as abandonment. Aliyah developed this kind of personality disorder during her childhood when her parents got divorced and abandoned her; leave her in the care of her grandparents. But her grandparents suddenly died in a ne crash. Because of that Aliyah felt alone and abandoned again. After her grandparents died her father took her again but just to leave her in his father¡¯s cousin¡¯s house. When Aliyah was left by her father on that house she felt abandon again. In that house her experiences are all bad. In her younger age she receives bad treatment from her rtives who are living on that house. She experience rejections and cruel treatment from individuals around her. Such early life traumas, cruel treatment, rejections and abandonment she receives multiple times leads Aliyah to develop such kind of defense mechanism to cope up and to avoid the feeling of getting hurt emotionally. And such defense mechanism slowly result into personality disorder. As a result her personality shifts or split into two, which made her behaves into two opposite attitudes. Person living with this condition is seen as really good or really bad. Aliyah sees this two side of her personality as two different persons dictating her on what she will do depends on what current situation she¡¯s dealing with. And this two sides of her always colliding that made Aliyah confused on what she will do. Then reality is the middle ground, meaning she can decide what she will do if she will back into reality. Middle ground is a position between two opposite opinions in an argument or between two descriptions. Reality is the state of things as they are, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined. But of course the causes of these things is unknown to her this present time because Aliyah still didn¡¯t regain her memory. Aliyah is Haya. She is Haya who only forgets her real identity because of a tragic ident. What Aliyah done to Atif at present, ending their friendship is just a history that repeats itself? Yes and it was long time ago when Atif is too young. How did it happened? The little boy and the girl who nearly a teenager who always appear in Aliyah¡¯s dream almost every night is herself; her forgotten real identity whose real name is Haya; and the little boy is Atif. Atif mother died when he is a little boy. Because no one will take care of him he wanders in the city streets as a beggar. One day Haya found Atif wandering on the city street. Atif was abandoned by his mother¡¯s friend when his mother died. His mother¡¯s friend thought that he is good for nothing and just a burden so she cast away Atif out of their house, leaving him homeless. Haya gave him food. They became friends. Haya always visited Atif on the ce where he wanders. Atif always wait Haya outside of one of the fast food in the city. Until one day Atif get sick because no one take care of him. He just sheltering himself at the footbridge when the night came. And wandering on the city street during day time. Haya decided to bring Atif up where he belong. Haya save Atif from being a beggar. Haya bring Atif to Haris. Haris is the best friend of the real father of Atif; Haris is looking for Atif for a long time to fulfill his promise to his best friend Alem, the father of Atif. Haris promise to Alem that he will find Alem¡¯s son and give all the possession that Alem have. Alem is an orphan billionaire who died in brain cancer at his early age and no other heir of his possession aside from his long lost son Atif. Alem died without seeing his son Atif so Haris as his best friend continue to search his son. Haris thanks Haya when she found Atif and bring him to his house. Haya is a daughter of Gil who is the son of Haris former employees. Haya knew Haris because of his father. Haya knew the father of Atif because Atif¡¯s mother Am told Haya who is the real father of Atif before Am died. Am is the mother of Atif. This is from N?velDrama.Org. Am died in a lung cancer and left Atif in his young age. Haya knew Am because Am is their former housemaid. Before Am died she got a chance to asked help from Haya to look after his son when they identally met again on the city. So Haya did what Am asked for her. Haya took care of his son. But there was a situation that made Haya decide to bring Atif to where he really belong. So Haya left Atif in the care of Haris when he is a little boy. Then Haya suddenly ends their friendship andmunication because she was afraid that time will Haya thought that Atif will soon became a billionaire because he will inherit all the possession of his father Alem. Atif is not a beggar anymore. And he will had a family if Haris adopt him as a real grandson. Sooner orter he will have many friends. Haya was afraid that if that would happen Atif will forget her, rejected her, end their friendship, and totally abandoned her. Haya don¡¯t want to get hurt anymore so before it happened she ends their friendship. Haya had trauma because she was abandoned by her parents when she was a small child. When her parents got divorced and have their own family, Haya was rejected. Because both of her parents new fianc¨¦e don¡¯t like Haya to be around their house or to belong to their family. From that experience Haya learn to distant herself to someone whom she get emotionally attached by ending themunication if she felt that those individuals will abandon her sooner. She learn to discard those individuals from her life to avoid getting hurt. As a result, she never go back to Haris house to visit Atif, not even once. Years pass by they both grew up; Haya as a teenager and Atif as nearly teenager. They never talked to each other. Atif tried many times to visit Haya in her cousin¡¯s house where she living but Haya avoid him. She refused to talk to him. Until one day Haya leave her country for a vacation together with his father that wants to give her a birthday treat. Unfortunately the passenger ship that Haya boarded met a tragic ident. Atif never got a chance to talk to her again because Haya was missing and never found. Many years passed by Atif grew up as a young man. Then Atif learn how to use the social media. Unknowingly Atif meet Haya again in social media as Aliyah. And then the history repeat itself. Haya and Atif became friends. In the end Haya gave up again and end their friendship. How many times they will meet and leave each other? How many times Atif will experience the same pain of losing Haya as a friend? This time Atif was given the chance again to talk to Haya because he make a fake ount just to chat Aliyah. And maybe be this time it will be more than just friends. Will Atif let her go again if she wants to leave him again? Or find courage no to let her go again? CHAPTER 28 CHAPTER 28 Aliyah personality is still splitting, that''s why Atif gets so confused about her attitude right now. But this psychological disorder of Aliyah is unknown to Atif. So when he reads the reply of Aliyah; "No. She can''t." he doubts if Aliyah is the one who sent this message to him or another person. Atif wants to confirm. He typed his reply. "Are you still Aliyah?" Atif asked. "Maybe not?!" Aliyah replied. "Then may I know who you are? Atif replied. "Hahaha. Google it. Maybe Google can answer all your questions. Bye! ¡°Aliyah replied, ending their conversation. Atif didn''t dare to send another message. Atif doesn''t know what to think this time. He remembers when Aliyah revealed her feelings to him. If Atif only knew what is the truth that time he would also reveal his true feelings for her. But he doesn''t know that Aliyah is just telling lies that she has a husband and kids. Atif doesn''t know what to do this time. He was wrong of thinking that he is not really important to Aliyah and she forgets their friendship. The truth is Aliyah cannot stop herself from falling for him even if she ends theirmunication. Aliyah didn''t forget him. Atif understand now that Aliyah just end theirmunication because she is too afraid of getting hurt. Because of that Atif decided that he will continue to pretend as Almir so that he will know Aliyah more. And to know if what they feel for each other still has a chance. To know if their feeling for each other is for real. To know if they are meant for each other or not. And when he confirmed that it has a chance he will reveal to Aliyah the truth that he is also Atif just pretending as Almir. Atif still has work for tomorrow he needs to go to sleep. So he forced himself to go back to sleep. But still the thoughts about Aliyah lingers in his mind. There are specific types of personality disorders. One of them is the so-called Borderline Personality Disorder. People with BPD have trouble regting their emotions effectively. They may experience splitting. Splitting is considered a coping mechanism that helps a person with BPD avoid getting hurt. It allows them to discard things and people they have decided are all bad. Splitting is an unconscious attempt to safeguard ego and prevent anxiety. A defense mechanism abandonment. In essence, people with BPD are often terrified that others will leave them. They have an intense fear of abandonment. However, they can also shift suddenly to feeling smothered and fearful of intimacy, which leads them to withdraw from rtionships. The result is a constant back-and-forth between demands for love or attention and sudden withdrawal or istion. Intimacy avoidance describes the degree to which an individual withdraws from close emotional contact from a rtionship partner. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. As a result an intimacy phobic person, even if she or he did stumble across their ideal partner, they wouldn¡¯t choose them. Intimacy phobias are after one thing, and that is to avoid being hurt. This suggests that romantic rtionships with people with BPD are more likely to end in a breakup. People with borderline personality disorder (BPD) often have rocky rtionships, both romantic and tonic. They experience constant changes in emotions. In short, if a person has BPD, everything feels unstable: rtionships, moods, thinking, and behavior¡ª even identity. Self-image, goals, and even likes and dislikes may change frequently in ways that feel confusing and unclear. And that is exactly what is happening to Aliyah. She wants Atif as a friend or lover. But Aliyah has a fear that Atif will one day leave and stop themunication between them. So to avoid being hurt, she is the one who stops themunication first before Atif will do it. Because of her psychological condition she is often terrified that others will leave her. She has an intense fear of abandonment. In addition, people with BPD often experience a profoundck of self-image and self-concept. They may feel like they don¡¯t know who they are, and their perception of their own identity may vary widely over time. They might even have trouble seeing the different side of their personality as the same person. They change who they are depending on their circumstances and what they think others want from them. Their thoughts and feelings change to match the current situation that they are experiencing. Because of that Aliyah behaves in two different characters which have exactly opposite attitudes with each other. Atif decided to know Aliyah more. Will he discover that Aliyah has a psychological disorder? And when he knows that Aliyah can consider a psychiatric patient will he continue tomunicate with her? Will Atif still reveal to Aliyah that he also has feelings for her? CHAPTER 29 CHAPTER 29 9:00 am, Wednesday in Bosnia Herzegovina H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. Atif is at his office right now. He is busy reviewing some documents about the hiring process of factory workers for their new The newpany will start its operation by next month. The newpany is a factory which will manufacture perfumes. They need more factory workers to start its operation. The hiring process will start next week. Atif is busy writing some memo in order to implement the opportunity that his grandfather Haris wants to add. As mentioned Haris wants to give opportunity for overseas workers to work in their factory. Especially for those applicantsing from Asian countries. He needs to finish the memo before the hiring process starts. He needs to prepare some documents to implement what Haris wants. He needed to set a meeting for the Human Resource Department to give the memo for its implementation. He called his secretary to set a meeting for him this afternoon. Because Atif is very busy this morning he slightly forgot his thoughts about Aliyah. Even though he was bothered by the thought about Aliyah he still needed to focus his attention on his job this morning for him to do it well. Atif finished writing the memo beforeunch. N?velDrama.Org owns this. After he finished doing it he decided to take hisunch. He ordered some food in the nearby restaurant. Then asked the restaurant to deliver the food to his office. 11:00 am in Bosnia and Herzegovina 6:00 pm in Asia Food delivery for Atif arrived at his office by 11:00 am. He started eating his lunch. While eating his lunch, Atif opens his phone. He decided to send a message to Aliyah. Aliyah is on the market ce when she receives the message of Atif. Because of that Aliyah was not able to read his message. Aliyah is busy buying food supplies that will be consumed by her and her cousin Lena until the weekend. For it is her day off today at work she volunteered to go to the market to buy some supplies. Atif is waiting for Aliyah''s reply but he gets nothing until his lunch break is over. Atif was so disappointed. He is about to go back to work but still he gets no reply from Aliyah. Aliyah spent a few more hours in the market. Because she decided to buy some groceries that she will bring home when he goes back to her hometown thising weekend. The groceries are for her grandmother Elsa and for her Uncle Peter family. Aliyah used to buy some groceries here in the city and bring it home in her hometown for the price of the items here is cheap. Aliyah has only limited money so she chose to buy here to save some money and will be able to buy more supplies. Yes Aliyah sry is in minimum wage but still she needs to save so that it will cover all their expenses in everyday living. Because the earning that his Uncle Peter gets in fishing is not enough to cover his family needs, she needs to help him. In addition to that her grandmother Elsa is now old and cannot sell fish just as efficiently as before for most of the time Elsa is sick. Because they are important to Aliyah she oblige herself to help them. On the other hand Atif is in the meeting now. He discusses everything about the new memo to the Human Resource Department of thepany. After an hour the meeting was adjourned. It''s already 3:00pm. Atif needs to attend another meeting. The meeting will take ce to the adjacent building of the H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. His grandfather Haris is supposed to attend that business meeting but he is out of the country so Atif will attend on behalf of his grandfather. On the other hand, Aliyah just got home because she was caught by the heavy traffic going back to her boarding house. It''s already 10:00 pm in the evening. Aliyah is too tired so after changing her clothes she decided to go to sleep. But before she goes to sleep she grabs her phone to set the rm. She will set the rm because she needs to wake up early because she had to go to work tomorrow. Aliyah opened her phone to set the rm. When she opened her phone she saw the message of Atif. Atif is still using his fake ount with the name Almir. Aliyah opened the message. "Hello. What are you doing this time?¡± Atif¡¯s first message said. "Where are you? Why are you not replying to my message?¡± Atif second message. When Aliyah reads his message she raises her eyebrow and types a reply. "It''s none of your business. Am I obliged to answer your message?!" Aliyah said. Atif was already at the business meeting when he received the message of Aliyah. When Atif feels that his cell phone vibrates he pulls it from his pocket. Aliyah replied to his message. Atif immediately opened her message. Because Atif is just listening to the presenter and not the one who is presenting on the meeting he was able to answer the message. "No. I''m sorry about those questions." Atif replied. "Alright." Aliyah answered. "Anyway do you work?" Atif asked. "Yes." Aliyah replied. "Really? So what is your work?" Atif asked. Atif asked Aliyah about these because he wanted to know what Aliyah''s were about. Aliyah told lies to him before. If all was lies, Atif wants to know what the truth out of those lies. "I''m working as a factory worker." Aliyah said. Aliyah wants to go to sleep but she keeps on replying because she wants to know how this person''s name Almir rted to Atif. Aliyah wants to know why this guy chats to her. She wants to know who this guy really is because she has had this feelingtely that maybe this guy is also Atif hiding in another ount or fake ount. "That''s a nice job. Do you want to work overseas?" Atif asked. Atif smiles. Why? Because he got an idea that he will offer Aliyah a job in their country for him to see Aliyah in person. The timing is good for Lamin¡¯spany, his close friendpany offers also an opportunity to overseas workers just like Atif¡¯s grandfather did giving an opportunity to overseas workers to work in theirpany. "Yes. If I have a chance. But I cannot afford the expenses in applying for an overseas job." Aliyah answered. "If that would be the case maybe I can help you." Atif replied. CHAPTER 30 CHAPTER 30 Atif wants to help Aliyah have a job overseas. If he will help Aliyah apply for a job overseas, he will be able to send Aliyah here in Bosnia and Herzegovina to see her in person. Atif wants to see Aliyah in person and a job overseas is a way to get what he wants. ¡°And what will I give you in exchange for that help?¡± Aliyah replied. Atif was surprised about the question of Aliyah. Aliyah is too frank in asking questions. Before she was not like that. Atif feels that she is talking to two different persons withpletely opposite attitudes with each other. "Don''t you worry I will never ask anything from you. I just want to help you only." Atif replied. Atif gives Aliyah an assurance that he will ask nothing in return if she will ept his help. "Really? I will think about it first." Aliyah replied. "Alright. Just send a message if you want to work here in my country." Atif answered. Aliyah didn''t reply again. When Atif got no reply from Aliyah he focused his attention to the meeting. The presenter at the meeting finished in her discussion about the business proposal. The presenter wants to get the attention of Atif that is why she asked some questions to him. She is Vanesa. "Sir Atif. What can you say about the business proposal? Are you going to invest in my father''s ¡°On behalf of my grandfather, yes we will." Atif answered. "Thank you in advance Sir." Vanesa said with a sweet smile in her face trying to catch the attention of Atif. But Atif just ignored that. Atif knew what was behind that smile. He knew that Vanesa wanted to be noticed by him. And that thing is not new to Atif. Atif used in those kind of situations. Many girls,dies or women behave like that in front of Atif. They aspire to be Atif''s girlfriend or wife. Because Atif is not just a sessor of Haris in his position as a Chief Executive Officer of therge scalepany H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. He has a lot of money, in his young age-he is considered N?velDrama.Org holds this content. a billionaire. In addition to that he is good looking and brainy. Those characteristics are enough to attract the opposite gender to aspire to be Atif''s girlfriend or wife. Three days had passed. Haris is about to go back to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Before Haris goes home to his country he meets Seth in the coffee shop again. They talk about the progress of their n. "Sir, The arrangement between agencies here in Asia and there in Bosnia that will handle the hiring process to hire overseas workers for your factory is already set up. Next week the hiring process will start." Seth informed Haris. "That is good, Seth." Haris said in a d voice. "And this weekend I will go back to Haya¡¯s considered hometown to do part of our n." Seth said. "Okay make sure that Haya will apply for the overseas job that we are offering so that we can send her back in our country.¡± Haris said. "Yes Sir. I will make sure that Haya will apply for the job." Seth promised to Haris. "Okay Seth. This evening is my flight going back to Bosnia. Just call me about the progress of the n after doing it." Haris informed Seth. "Yes Sir. I will always give you an update about it." Seth agreed to Haris. After an hour of conversation Haris and Seth bid goodbye to each other. After their conversation Haris goes back to the hotel where he is staying. Then he prepared his luggage. He is getting ready for the trip back to Bosnia and Herzegovina. 11:00 am in Bosnia and Herzegovina 6:00 pm in Asia Haris is already in the airport. He is waiting for the schedule of his flight this evening. And it is only about half an hour before his flight. Haris decided to call his son Mateo. He will inform him that he is about to board the ne this evening and will arrive there in Bosnia tomorrow. He wants to talk to Mateo about his n to talk to Gil, the father of Haya when he arrives in Bosnia. "Hello Father." Mateo said when he received the phone call from his father Haris. "Mateo, meet me at the airport tomorrow.¡± Haris said. "Yes, Father I will." Mateo answered. "We will go to the house of Gil when I arrive there to tell him that his daughter is alive and we found her." Haris said. "Really? Seth found Haya?" Mateo asked. "Yes Mateo. But she is living with a different identity. She forgot her real identity. She got amnesia because of the tragic ident." Haris answered. ¡°Okay father. Atif will be d to hear that Haya has not really died when the ship sunken. I will fetch you tomorrow at the airport and apany you at the house of Haya''s father." Mateo said. "Alright. Thank you son." Haris said. "Okay. Take care." Mateo said. "Yes. I will." Haris said. Then the call ended. Its 6:30 pm. Haris is already on the ne. At about 7:00 pm the ne leaves Asia going to Bosnia Herzegovina. Sarajevo International Airport. Mateo is waiting for his father to arrive at the airport. Few minutester, Haris arrived. As soon as Haris arrived they immediately left the airport. Now they are heading to the house of Haya''s father to tell the good news about Haya. They arrived at the ce of Gil. Haya''s father dly received them. When Gil heard the news about his daughter he felt very happy. He is very thankful to Haris because he found his daughter. In gratitude Gil decided to give Haris the property that Haris wanted for a long time. The property belongs to Gil''s parents. Haris is so interested to have that property of Gil''s parents. He wanted it for a long time. Haris wanted it because it''s good for the expansion of the Real estate business that he has under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. He wanted to have that property before for it to be a coteral for the debts of Gil''s parents from him. Because Gil''s parents died in a ne crash and their debts remain unpaid, Haris decided to take the property before. But Gil refused to give it to Haris before because of sentimental value. Gil didn''t give that property of his parents to Haris because he knew that it is so important to his parents. Even though his parents passed away he wanted to keep the property as a memory of his parents. So instead of giving it to Haris to pay the debts of his parents, Gil just offered to Haris that he will be the one who will pay the debts of his parents. Just to spare their property. Because Haris is kind he just agreed to what Gil wants. The debts of Gil''s parents from Haris is millions of peso so even many years have passed still there is a portion of the debts that Gil is still paying. Gil has his ownpany also but it''s nothingpared to what Haris has. Gil also needs money also to sustain his ownpany operation so he finds it difficult to pay his parents debts. But Gil is determined enough to keep the property so he just paid the debts from Haris even in a small amount every year. Haris knew that Gil is struggling from financial crisis so he just let him on how much he can pay for every year. But now just because of gratitude to Haris for finding his daughter Gil will just let Haris have the property. Because Gil thinks that in that way he can pay back Haris'' kindness to him. But Haris didn''t take the property instead he offered and asked for a different thing from Gil. Haris offers help for Gil because Gil is suffering from a financial crisis. Gil''s ownpany is about to close if he can''t find a source of funds to support thepany¡¯s operation. Haris wanted to save thepany of Gil for being close. Haris willing to give funds to Gil''spany to save it from closing. But Haris wanted thepany to put under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. For putting thepany under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. Haris can save thepany for closing. Yes Haris can release funds from his own pocket but Haris chooses to put Gil''spany under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. to gain source of funds because it will give more opportunity to Gil''spany to be known to the world of business and gain more profit. Because Gil needed some funds badly to save thepany he agreed to what Haris wanted. CHAPTER 31 CHAPTER 31 But before Haris can put Gil''spany under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. there is a problem that arises. The owners of thepanies under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. are only rtives and close friends of Haris who all belong from upper ss society; they only wanted business partners orpany owners that are also from the society where they belong. They don''t want to ept anyone who is not rted to any one of them like Gil to belong to H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. They suggest that if Gil wants to belong in H & A Summit Holdings, Inc., any of Gil''s son or daughter will marry anyone who belongs to H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. Unfortunately, Gil''s daughter and son who are step brother and sister of Haya got married at their early age. So Gil''s only hope is Haya. Haya is still single at the age of 30. The rtives and friends of Haris who own apany under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. suggested that Haya, the daughter of Gil will marry Atif. Because Atif is the only avable or still not in a rtionship so he can marry Haya. Most of Atif''s cousins are married or have a fianc¨¦. Even his step brother Jasmin is about to get married next month. Also the sons of their close friends who are their business partners and own thepanies under the holdings are all in a rtionship. Some are married. Others are about to get married So Atif is the only choice. Yes Atif is only in his early 20''s and too young to get married but he is the only choice. Atif is 5 or 6 years younger than Haya. Haris exined to them the condition of Gil''s daughter Haya. Because of Haya''s condition she and Atif cannot just get married even Haya will arrive in the country as an overseas worker. But thepany of Gil needs a fund badly. It can''t wait for Haya to regain her memory. So they all agreed to ept Gil''spany to be part of the H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. and release the fund for Gil''spany to be saved but it is apanied with one condition. Their condition is: Gil will sign an agreement. On that agreement, it is indicated that in exchange of the subsidiaries that Gil will get from H&A Summit Holdings, Inc. Gil will agree that Haya will marry Atif when Haya know that she is the long lost daughter of Gil. And if Gil didn''t fulfill what is asked on the agreement hispany will be taken by H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. and this will be given to the other business partner to manage. In short, Gil ownership with his ownpany will be terminated. Gil agreed to them and signed the contract. Haris, as a chief executive of the H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. ordered his rtives and friends not to tell it to Atif until the date of the marriage was set. Haris'' rtives and friends agreed to what he wanted. They will not tell Atif anything about the contract until the date of his marriage is set. Haris intentionally send Atif on a business trip for 2 days before he called this meeting among his rtives and close friend who belong to H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. to resolve the issue that arise when Haris made about the proposal that he wants to put Gil''spany under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. Haris did that because he didn''t want Atif''s mind to be disturbed such things at this early point in time. Haris knew that his rtives and close friends will suggest that his grandson Atif will be the one who will marry Haya. So he chose to send Atif away for a while so that he won''t hear these suggestions and decisions of them. He wanted Atif¡¯s mind to focus first on the new business that is about to open. Haris fears that if Atif loses focus on that the progress of the opening will be dyed. Haris wants to inform Atif about this marriage after the business is sessfully open and if the factory is in its sessful operation. On the other hand, Atif is on his way to Mostar for the business trip. Atif wonders why his grandfather sent him away while what he knew is there is a meeting between Haris and among their rtives and close friends on H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. What he knew about the reason is to resolve some issue about onepany that his grandfather wants to be their subsidiary. But his grandfather didn''t tell him anything about this. Atif just heard it from the rumors that arises on thepany but he didn''t know which exactly the He wanted to know so he was very interested to attend such a meeting but his grandfather immediately sent him to a business trip before the date of the meeting. Atif arrived at Mostar. He immediately went to the office of the person whom his grandfather told him to meet. The office is located at the corner of one of the streets in Mostar. Haris wants to meet him because ording to his grandfather this person wants to sell a parcel ofnd to Haris. Haris wants Atif to check if the property is worth buying for. When Atif reaches the office of that person, the secretary tells him to wait for a while because her boss is not yet around but on his way to the office now. Atif sits in the waiting area to wait for the boss. While waiting Atif notices that the office building is just small and not so elegant. Some furniture is worn out even the color of this coach where he is sitting has faded. The secretary offers him a cup of coffee while waiting. The secretary boasts that the brand of coffee is the favorite of her boss'' wife for it is not only expensive but tastes delicious. It is obvious that the secretary wants to get Atif attention that''s why she offers coffee to have the reason to talk longer to Atif. The secretary tried to flirt with Atif for she knew that Atif is rich and not only handsome. Atif is aware of it. Atif just receives the coffee and thanks the secretary but he has no intention to drink it. Atif put the coffee on the center table, then found an excuse to dismiss the secretary when his cellphone received a message. He immediately pulled the cellphone from his pocket and focused his attention in reading the message. He doesn''t even nce at the secretary anymore. Because of that the secretary left him alone. Atif reads that the message is from Aliyah. "Almir I epted your offer." Aliyah''s message said. Atif immediately typed his reply. "Which offer?" Atif replied.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. "You forgot? You said I can send you a message if I want to work in your country, right? ¡°Aliyah said. "Yes. So you want to work here?" Atif replied. "As I have said I epted your offer." Aliyah replied. "Kidding aside?" Atif asked. Atif wants to make sure if Aliyah is serious about epting his offer and not just ying games with him. "Are you going to help me or not?" Aliyah replied. "Yes I will." Atif replied. Atif doesn''t know what to think about Aliyah. She is too frank and knows what she wants this time unlike before that she don¡¯t know which way to go. "So what kind of job are you offering?" Aliyah asked. ¡°My friend¡¯spany needs a warehouse staff.¡± Atif replied. ¡°Whose friend? Atif?¡± Aliyah asked. Atif smile when he reads the message of Aliyah. ¡°No. Of course not. Why? You want to see Atif that¡¯s why you ask?¡± Atif replied. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Aliyah replied. Atif can¡¯t stop himself from smiling when he reads the reply of Aliyah. He knew that Aliyah is annoyed again with his question. CHAPTER 32 CHAPTER 32 Yes, Atif is right. Aliyah was annoyed by his question. Because Aliyah was annoyed she had a second thought if she was going to take that opportunity to work overseas or not. Atif sent the job description and the sry rate to Aliyah. Also he sends some proof that the job offer is legit because he wants to gain the trust of Aliyah. Aliyah reads Atif''s message. The job offer has quite a high sry which means she can earn twice as muchpared to her job here in Asia. Aside from that, the job is legit. Because of that Aliyah thinks that maybe she can trust this guy whose name is Almir. As she can see he is not lying or just kidding. Aliyah doesn''t know that Almir is also Atif. Even though Aliyah was so annoyed at Atif''s question she decided to reply. She will ept the job because she knows that the earnings that she will get from the job will be of big help for her to give her considered family a good life. Aliyah wants to give her Grandmother Elsa and her Uncle Peter a good life that''s why she is willing to take the opportunity. Her family is too important for her. Aliyah is always finding ways just to give them a good life. She thinks that this opportunity will help. She will try to risk it all for her family. So Aliyah type her reply to Almir - (Atif); "Okay. I¡¯m willing to apply for that job. Hope I can trust you." Aliyah said. When Atif receives the message from Aliyah he immediately reads it. Atif feels d that Aliyah epted the job. It means he will be able to see Aliyah in person. Atif type his reply; "Of course. You can trust me. I''m sincere in offering help for you." Atif replied. "Thank you. Can you please tell me who owns thatpany? Aliyah replied. ¡°My friend Lamin owns thatpany." Atif replied. "Your friend owns such arge scale business? Maybe you''re a businessman too?" Aliyah asked. ¡°No. I''m not." Atif replied. Atif tells a lie this time. Atif''s n is to hide his real identity to Aliyah at first that''s why he replied like that. He is afraid that if he will tell Aliyah the truth she will no longer ept the job. He will pretend as Almir until Aliyah totally epts the job and arrives here in his country. Atif ns to tell Aliyah the truth that he is also Atif when Aliyah starts working here. Atif already talked about these things to his friend Lamin. Lamin agreed to him. Lamin won''t tell Aliyah that Almir is also Atif. Atif will just pretend as Lamin''s employee. He will tell Aliyah that he works for Lamin as a personal driver and bodyguard. Lamin understands why Atif is doing these things, that''s why Lamin agreed to Atif. Atif received a reply from Aliyah. "You are not a businessman? So what is your work?" Aliyah asked. "I''m working as a personal driver and bodyguard for my friend Lamin." Atif answered. "Okay. So what are the necessary documents that I have to prepare to apply for that job?" Aliyah asked. Atif replied to Aliyah. Atif told Aliyah to prepare some documents needed to apply for the job. Aliyah agreed. After an hour of waiting, the person who was waiting by Atif arrived. The secretary informed Atif. "Sir my boss Mr. Omerdic is already here. You can proceed to his office." "Okay. Thank you." Atif walks towards the door opposite from the waiting area. The door is slightly open. Atif can see Mr. Omerdic sitting on the swivel chair. There is a woman who is standing beside him holding a cup of tea. She seems to be Mr. Omerdic¡¯s wife. There is also a youngdy who is sitting on another swivel chair near the office table busy reading a fashion magazine. Maybe he is the daughter of Mr. Omerdic. Atif gets closer to the door of the office. Now he clearly sees the faces of Mr. Omerdic¡¯s wife and daughter. Their faces seem familiar to Atif. Atif stops for a while in walking towards the office of the Mr. Omerdic. He wants to remember where he saw that woman and the youngdy. Then suddenly there are shes of memories in Atif''s mind. Atif knew these persons a long time ago. The woman''s name is Monika and her daughter''s name is Aleksa. As far as Atif remembers, he and his mother Am rent a house together with Monika. In that house, they are living together with Monika and other rtives of this woman; Monika''s daughter Aleksa, two brothers and sister. Monika is Atif''s mother''s friend that sent Atif away outside the house after his mother died. Atif will never forget that winter''s evening when this woman cast him out of the house and abandoned him on the icy street of the city when he was a little boy. Monika thought before that Atif is just a burden to her and good for nothing. Am and Monika are friends but when Am died because of lung cancer, Monika cast away Am''s son Atif out of their house. Monika abandoned the little boy Atif on the city out on the street. N?velDrama.Org owns this. From then on Atif lived like a beggar on the city street. Experienced a hard life at his young age: Wandering on the street all day; Begging for food just to fill in his empty stomach; But when no one gave him food he learned to eat food from garbage cans just to survive from hunger. And when the evening came he would shelter himself on the footbridge with no roof. There he will sleep under the falling of snow for it is winter that time. He will stay there while waiting for the night to pass by and another day toe. Atif thought that time that hardship in his life will never end because his mother is dead, who is his only hope for no one will take care of him aside from his mother but Haya came and saved him from that dark past. Aleksa, Monika''s daughter, was so cruel to him before. When Atif''s mother died Aleksa together with her rtives who also lived in that house treated Atif badly. Atif knew this woman was a widow. He didn''t know she got a new husband. Atif didn¡¯t expect that after a long time he will meet these persons again. Atif is consumed with anger at this moment. His face turned red because of anger. The look in his eyes became sinister. Atif takes a deep breath,posing himself before starting walking again towards the door of the office. "Revenge is mine this time." Atif mumble while walking towards the door. CHAPTER 33 CHAPTER 33 Atif knew why Mr. Omerdic was selling his property. Because the man needs some funds to recover his mansion from being a coteral of his loan from the bank. He needs some money to pay his loan from the bank so that the bank will not acquire his property. Mr. Omerdic doesn''t want to lose the mansion because his family is used to living there. In addition to that he needs more funds to sustain hispany operation. He owns a small chocte factory. He needs investors or a source of money to prevent thepany from shutting down. While Atif is walking, getting closer and closer to the door of Mr. Omerdic office he is nning his revenge towards Monika and Aleksa. Atif is a kind person but he is blinded with anger at this moment. He is not ready to forgive them and forget what they did to him even if it was too long ago. Atif''s n is to offer Mr. Omerdic arge amount of money to fund the operation of his chocte factory. Atif will invest in this small factory to prevent it from shutting down. In short Atif will offer him a favor which is hard to resist. And when Mr. Omerdic ept the offer Atif can start his revenge to Monika and Aleksa because Atif have the chance to get close to them. Atif¡¯s will make that offer to make Monika realize that she was wrong on thinking that Atif is just a burden to them before. He wants to p on her face that the little boy who was abandoned by her long ago on the city street , whom she think that good for nothing will be the one who can save them from financial crisis at present. Financial crisis is a termmonly used when an individual finds themselves in an unsustainable financial lifestyle, whereby their debt far outweighs their ie and therefore they stand to lose assets, such as homes. This can ur through poor personal management of money or unforeseen circumstances. Atif also wants to send Monika and Aleksa out of the house just like what they did to him before when he was a little boy. He wants them to feel what he had felt before being homeless. Atif is nning to bribe the bank manager not to extend the due date of Mr. Omerdic loan. Atif will do all he can to dy the payment of Mr. Omerdic to the bank. He wants the bank to take Mr. Omerdic coteral as payment for his loan. Coteral is a property or other asset that a borrower offers as a way for a lender to secure the loan. If the borrower stops making loan payments, the lender can take hold of the items or house designated as coteral, to recover its losses on their loan. Atif remembers that it is the dream of Monika to find a rich husband for her to have a luxurious life. She wants to experience living in a big house like this mansion that her present husband Mr. Omerdic have. Monika¡¯s dreame true. She finds a rich husband. But unfortunately Mr. Omerdic suffers from financial crisis that almost result to bankruptcy that force him to loan arge amount of money from the bank and made his mansion as a coteral. So Atif''s n is to take away all of that from Monika and Aleksa as a part of his revenge. Sorry for Mr. Omerdic because he had nothing to do with this but he will also suffer from Atif¡¯s revenge. Atif take a deep breathe before knocking on the door of Mr. Omerdic office. ¡°Knock! Knock! Knock! Mr. Omerdic, stand up and walks towards the door when he hears someone is knocking on the door. Then he open the door widely for it is just slightly open. When he open the door he see Atif standing outside the door. The smile cross his face and immediately greet Atif. ¡°Good day Sir! Are you the grandson of Sir Haris?¡± Mr. Omerdic eximed. ¡°Yes Mr. Omerdic. My name is Atif.¡± Atif answered. ¡°Oh, nice meeting you Sir Atif. Let¡¯s get inside of my office.¡± Mr. Omerdic said. ¡°Same to you Mr. Omerdic. Thank you.¡± Atif said. Then they both enter the office. When they get inside the office it¡¯s too obvious that Atif easily catch the attention of Aleksa. Well the obvious reason is because Atif look too gorgeous and handsome in his business suit. Aleksa is speechless when she saw Atif approaching together with her step-father Mr. Omerdic Aleksa stared at him with a dropped jaw can¡¯t move on her ce. Atif noticed the reaction of Aleksa. Atif gave Aleksa a sweetest smile as he greet her. But deep inside Atif is too angry with her. ¡°Hello!¡± Atif said. ¡°Hi!¡± Aleksa answered. And it¡¯s too obvious that Aleksa¡¯s faced blushed when Atif greet her. While Monika greet Atif with a wide smile on her face. ¡°Hello Sir!¡± Monika said. ¡°Hello. Madame.¡± Atif answered. Then Mr. Omerdic introduced Atif to them and vice versa. ¡°Monika, Aleksa. He is Atif the grandson of Sir Haris.¡± ¡°Nice meeting you Sir.¡± Monika said in a sweet voice. While Aleksa remained silent and just watching Atif every move. She can¡¯t believe that their visitor is too good looking and sophisticated aside from being rich. ¡°Sir Atif she is Monika my wife and this is my step-daughter Aleksa.¡± Mr. Omerdic said. ¡°Nice meeting you Madame Monika and Lady Aleksa.¡± Atif said with a smile. Atif smile even though his heart is full of anger this time. It¡¯s too obvious that Monika and Aleksa did not recognize him. Well who would think that he is that poor little boy before? Mr. Omerdic offer Atif a seat while Monika serve him a cup of tea. Then after a while they get into business. Atif give his bait- the proposal that Mr. Omerdic can¡¯t resist- to start his revenge. ¡°Take it or leave it Mr. Omerdic.¡± Atif said after telling Mr. Omerdic his proposal. Like what Atif nned he will offer a proposal that is hard to resist in exchange of what he wants to get- to make revenge to Monika and Aleksa. ¡°Of course my husband will take your offer Sir.¡± Monika said before Mr. Omerdic can say a word. ¡°Yes I will. Who am I to ignore such kind of good offer of yours Sir? I badly needed an investor orrge sum of money to fund my factory operation and to prevent it from shutting down. Atif smile triumphantly as if he wins the game when he heard the confirmation from Mr. Omerdic. ¡°If that will be the case. Our deal is closed. I send the corporatewyer here the next day to arrange the necessary documents and for you to sign the agreement.¡± Atif said. ¡°Thanks a lot Sir.¡± Mr. Omerdic said. ¡°Sir that will be a big help to my husbandpany. Thank you.¡± Monika said. ¡°You¡¯re wee. I¡¯II go ahead for I have other matters to attend to.¡± Atif said and stand up from his seat. ¡°Once again thank you Sir.¡± Mr. Omerdic said and follow Atif as he walks outside the door. Mr. Omerdic apany Atif until they reached the ce where Atif parked his car. Atif left that ce with mix emotions. He felt angry because he meet those persons again but he is happy in some way for his n works in N?velDrama.Org owns this. an instant. Meaning he can start his revenge to those persons. CHAPTER 34 CHAPTER 34 On the other hand, in Asia. Its weekend. Aliyah go home to her hometown. She is walking on the seashore together with her grandmother Elsa and his Uncle Peter. Her Uncle Peter is pushing a cart containing arge fish container. Her Uncle peter is about to carry it on the market ce. Aliyah and Elsa will apany him to help him sell the fish. But before they reached the way to market someone approached them. He is interested to buy all the fishes that his Uncle Peter is carrying. The man wearing a white t-shirt and a blue jeans with matching sunsses. The man is tall, dark and ¡­never mind! He looks like a foreigner. Maybe he has a lot of money because he wants to buy all the fishes. Aliyah noticed that the man is so talkative. He asked a lot of things to Elsa and Peter. As if he is curios with their way of living in this vige. Then after a while he took the money from his wallet and bought all the fishes. In gratitude, Elsa invite him to have lunch in their house nearby the seashore. The man agreed without a second thought. Then they walk towards the house. Aliyah is just listening to their conversations until they reached the house. Aliyah and her uncle wife¡¯s ra cook their lunched while the man, Peter and Elsa continue chatting to each other. This man is Seth, the private investigator. He is now doing the part his job, fulfilling the part of their n to send back Haya- who is also Aliyah- back to her own country. Then the lunch is cook. Aliyah and ra serve the lunch. They eat lunch together with Seth. The chatting continues. Until the man talks about an overseas job that will about to open in his country. She offers the job indirectly to Aliyah. Then, suddenly Elsa asked Aliyah if she wants to apply for that job overseas. ¡°Aliyah I think you are fit for that job. Do you want to apply?¡± Elsa asked. But Aliyah just refused because he want to apply on the job that Almir offer her. She made an excuse to her grandmother by saying; ¡°I already applying for an overseas job that my friend offers to me.¡± Aliyah said. Aliyah¡¯s answer causes them to panic. If that would be the case, their n will be ruin. So each of them throw question to Aliyah almost at the same time. ¡°What job?¡± Elsa asked. ¡°Whose friend?¡± Peter asked. ¡°On what country?¡± Seth asked. ¡°Warehouse staff in Bosnia.¡± Aliyah answered. Seth was relieved at least Aliyah will going back to Bosnia. So all he have to do is to know when her flight is and where in Bosnia she will going to work. After an hour they are finished eating their lunch. Aliyah volunteer to wash the dishes. When Aliyah was gone to the kitchen Seth talked to Elsa and Peter in private. He asked them to inform him when the fight of Aliyah is and where in Bosnia she will going. Elsa and Peter agreed to Seth. Then after a few minutes Seth left. When Seth reached home he immediately call Haris. Seth informed him about the result of his job. Then he exined to Haris his new n; Then they agreed that Seth will just follow Aliyah when she is going back to Bosnia to ensure that they will still get in touch to her when she arrived there. After Aliyah finished washing the tes he immediately go to her room and check all the documents that she have so that she can apply for the job that Almir offers to him. Aliyah decided to prepare all the documents that she had to apply for the job that Almir -(Atif)- is offering. Then Aliyah decided to chat with Almir. Atif is driving back to the city of Zenica from Mostar. Atif is in deep thoughts and still feels the anger for Monika and Aleksa. He still can''t believe that he encountered again his mother''s friend Monika after a long time had passed -after that evening when he was a little boy and Monika intentionally left him on the street to cast away him out of their house; after that evening he started wandering on the city streets, homeless. Because Atif remembers his past, he finds himself driving towards his old dwelling ce. When he reached the ce near the footbridge he parked his car. Then he stepped outside the car. He slowly walked towards the footbridge. He climbed on the stairs until he reached the floor on the top. There he stands near the railing and looks down on the busy street. Up there he can see the old fast food on the corner of the street. Outside the fast food he can see some street children getting some thrown away food on the garbage, eating it. Atif remembers himself when he was a little boy. He was like that before, that''s why he knew what the feeling of being in their situation was. Remembering those things, Atif is holding back his tears. He walks slowly, going down the footbridge. Then he finds himself on a fast food counter, ordering almost all the foods avable. Then he made a request to the fast food management that all those foods that he ordered were to be given away to the street children out on the nearby streets. The management agreed and started giving away the food to the street children. The manager didn''t wonder why Atif is doing this and he didn''t dare to ask any question to Atif. He just followed what Atif said. Because it is not the only time the manager sees Atif around their fast food. The manager remembers who Atif is. The manager knew that Atif is the little boy who is homeless before and is always sitting outside the fast food every Friday evening of the week, waiting for his friend to arrive. He is always waiting for that pretty girl who is always around here every Friday of the week. Then after a long while the manager didn''t see Atif around, as well as the pretty girl. Years passed by and then one day the manager saw an expensive car parked outside. And then he saw a youngd step outside the car. He stayed there standing beside his car. Looking at This is from N?velDrama.Org. the fast food for almost half an hour. That day the manager wondered who that youngd was. Then he remembers that he looks like the little boy and he assumes that probably that is the little boy returning back. After that day he always saw Atif go back to this ce but the manager didn''t dare to talk or asked Atif about these things. After giving some food to street children, Atif left the ce. Because it is getting dusk he decided to go home. Dusk generally refers to the transition from sunset to nighttime, and the term is often used as another word for evening twilight. CHAPTER 35 CHAPTER 35 6:00 pm Saturday, in Bosnia and Herzegovina 12:00 am Sunday, in Asia Aliyah is still in her hometown but she is about to go back to the city by afternoon. Aliyah sent a message thiste afternoon to Almir-(Atif). She is wondering why until now she didn''t get any reply from him. Aliyah is still awake even at midnight. She can''t go to sleep, thinking why Almir didn''t reply to her messages. Aliyah can''t stop herself thinking that maybe he backed away because Almir didn''t reply to her message. Because of those thoughts Aliyah felt disappointed but nothing she can''t do if that would be the case. Because of that, Aliyah cannot help but think that she is a fool for trusting strangers. And she felt that she needed to give up the idea that Almir will help her in applying for that job. The bad side of her personality slowly poisoning her thoughts again that she needed to back away again. Aliyah is sleepy this time and gave up her hope that Almir will still reply to her message. She decides that she will no longer ask Almir about that matter again and maybe says goodbye to him if she finds out how this guy rted to Atif. Why this guy knew Atif. She wants to find out before saying goodbye to him. Now she falls asleep ignoring the thoughts about Almir. But at the back of her mind she still waits for Almir to reply. It is already evening when Atif reaches home. Their dinner is not yet ready so he decided to go up to his room first. He decided to take a shower first before eating dinner. He took off his coat and his phone dropped on the floor because it slipped out of his coat''s pocket. Atif picked his phone. And he noticed that there were some messagesing from Aliyah. Gosh! He almost forgot to check his phone earlier. The message was sent early this morning. Now it''s already evening. Atif immediately opened the message and read. He hurriedly typed his reply for he feared that Aliyah would back out because he failed to reply to her messages earlier. Atif left the phone on his bed. He decided to go to the bathroom and take a shower while waiting for her reply. He took a shower for 25 minutes. When he goes out of the bathroom he immediately checks his phone to see if Aliyah replied. But he didn''t get any reply from her. Atif decided to go down to the dining area and join his family in eating dinner. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Haris didn''t ask anything about Atif''s business trip. Anyway he is not interested whatsoever because he didn''t interested in any property that Mr. Omerdic is selling. Haris just used that business trip as an excuse so that Atif can''t participate in yesterday''spany''s meeting that''s why he sent Atif to check that matter. Atif felt a relief when his grandfather didn''t ask anything about his trip. It only means that his grandfather is not really interested in that matter. So it means he can do what he wants-his revenge to Monika and Aleksa -without anyone to interfere. Atif can''t help himself to smile. And that smile was noticed by his stepmother Sara because Atif is sitting opposite to her on the dining table. "Son, what¡¯s the reason behind that smile?" Sara asked Atif why he was smiling. And when Atif heard Sara''s voice he was surprised and his spoon and fork slipped on his hand and dropped on the crystal te. The spoon and fork made a loud sound that got the attention of everyone. Atif''s face blushed because he was slightly embarrassed. When he managed topose himself he answered Sara''s question. "Nothing Mother." Atif said while picking up the ss of water and drink. "Nothing? You won''t smile like that for nothing." Jasmin teases Atif. Atif just gave him a nce and said nothing. "Maybe the reason for that smile was Aliyah." Haris said. Atif was shocked when he heard his grandfather talk about Aliyah. Atif felt like he was frozen on his seat. He was afraid that his grandfather would get angry again and warned him not to waste his time chatting to Aliyah. Why on earth would his grandfather think that is the reason why he is smiling a while ago? Atif forced himself to talk and clear it to his grandfather that Aliyah has nothing to do with that. "No Grandfather. She has nothing to do with that. It''s just that I got a good deal about business and it crossed my mind a while ago and I can''t help but smile." Atif exined. ¡°s! I thought she was the reason." Haris eximed and snapped his fingers whileughing. Atif was so surprised about his grandfather''s statement and behavior. Atif can''t say anything as if his tongue was snatched out of his mouth. ¡°So Grandfather you mean it''s much better if she is the reason behind Atif''s smile right? Hana asked the old man while alsoughing. "Yes! And Why not." Haris answered while smiling and looking at Atif. "Tsk! Tsk! I thought a while ago that Atif is in love." Mateo saidughing and kidding to Atif. "Atif, can I ask you? If you don''t mind? Sara said. "Yes, Mother. What is it?¡± Atif said in a low voice. ¡°Do you like Aliyah to be your wife?" Sara asked. ¡°What?!" Atif said. Atif doesn''t know what to say now that''s why instead of answering his stepmother question he just answers a question also in return. Then Atif looked down on his te and continued eating. He doesn''t want to raise his eyes to meet the look in their eyes that seems they are waiting for his answer to that question. He is wondering why his adoptive family behaves like that at this moment. There are many questions running into Atif''s mind. First, why suddenly his grandfather''s mood changes like he allowed him to chat with Aliyah whilest time he warned him not to waste time chatting with Aliyah. Second, why is his father thinking that he is in love? Am I really in love? Yes he has feelings for Aliyah but he is not sure if it could be love or they are just falling for the deepest friendship. Third, why is his stepmother asking if he likes Aliyah to be his wife? Atif takes a deep breath because he never understands what is going on. Then he heard his grandfather talking again. "Atif, why don''t you answer your mother''s question? Haris said. When Atif heard his grandfather''s question he nced at his grandfather then said; ¡°I don''t know. Even if I want, it''s too impossible to happen. I know you won''t allow me because ording to you I am just allowed to marry a woman who belongs to the society where we belong." Atif said. ¡°You wrong Atif. In fact I''ll do a background check of her just for you to know her better." Haris answers. Atif''s eyes widened when he heard his grandfather''s answer. "You do that? And what did you find out about her background that made you decide to allow her to be my wife. Are you still kidding me?" Atif asked in disbelief. Atif feels that his phone in his pocket vibrates. He pulled it immediately to see if a reply came from Aliyah. "Kidding aside! What our grandfather said is true." Jasmin said while smiling. "Atif, Jasmin is right. I''m not kidding." Haris said in a serious voice. ¡°Sorry to inform you even if you will allow me. It''s toote. She doesn''t want to talk to me anymore. I made a new ount using different name just tomunicate with her again but I received another goodbye from her. I received another block." Atif said. Atif smiled even though he felt the pain inside. Then he holds his phone up facing them to make them see what Aliyah said to him on her chat. Aliyah''s message said. ¡°Thanks for your kindness but I''m not interested inmunicating with you anymore. Goodbye." Then at the end of the chat there is a notification that said. ¡°You cannot reply to this conversation. Learn more. So it means that Aliyah blocks Atif again. Atif can no longer talk to her again. ¡°Ouch!" Jasmin eximed andughed in exasperation when he read Aliyah''s message. He did that to make the conversation light because he knew that Atif was hurt with what Aliyah''s said and done. Atifughed this time as an answer to that Jasmin expression. Atifughs because he is trying to hide the pain he felt inside. While Hana suddenly eximed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry little brother. She will be yours in the next few months. I assure you." Hana said with a wide smile on her face. Atif justughed more this time without saying a word. Then after a few minutes their dinner was over. After their dinner Atif immediately goes up to his room. CHAPTER 36 CHAPTER 36 2:00 am, In Asia On the other hand Aliyah is sleeping soundly but wakes up suddenly because of a bad dream. She is panting because of the scenes that she saw in her dream. She reached the bottle of mineral water which is on the table beside her bed to drink. Her phone is also on the top of the table. She saw on her phone that she received some message from Almir. Aliyah without a second thought type this message and send it to Almir-(Atif); "Thanks for your kindness but I''m not interested inmunicating with you anymore. Goodbye." Aliyah replied. But why did Aliyah do that this time? Because of what Aliyah saw in her dream she thinks that she doesn''t need that job anymore. These are the scenes that Aliyah saw in her dream. Year 2005¡­. She was on a luxurious passenger cruise ship. She was eating dinner together with her father and stepmother. They are in one of the finest restaurants inside thatrge cruise ship. It was her birthday. Her father and stepmother decided to treat her with a sumptuous meal. They were eating happily when they heard a loud explosion nearby. Suddenly all the lights turned off. They couldn''t see each other for a few minutes until there were shes of lightsing from emergency lights and shlights. They heardmotions. Passengers inside the cruise ship are in panic. There was a faulty electrical wiring on the ship that caused that loud explosion. It caused a huge damage on the ship and caused total loss of electricity. The ship was stranded in the middle of the ocean. She heard that the ship was about to sink. The passengers grew more anxious. The crew on the ship call for a rescue. The rescue team immediately arrived and started saving the passenger from the sinking ship. But the next incident was not expected. There were a series of loud explosions that happened again. It caused a big hole on the side of the ship. Then big waves ssh on the ship and the seawater starts to enter on the ship hole. Her father was holding her stepmother who didn''t know how to swim. While she cling on to his father''s arms tightly because of fear. The half of the ship was set on fire while the other side was filled with water and slowly sinking. There was no choice but to jump into the water just to reach the lifeboat down there. The three of them jumped into the water to reach the lifeboat where the other passenger climbed to transfer in another ship which will rescue them. But before they reached the lifeboat a big wave was sshing that made her lose her grip from her father¡¯s arms. The big waves carried her far from his father and stepmother. She heard his father''s voice full of fear calling her name. Then everything went ck. Her father tried to save her but he failed. She got carried away by big waves out of nowhere. She didn''t know how many days or nights she was floating into the water. Then when she woke up she was in a small house surrounded by poor people. She doesn''t remember who she is, even her name. Then Aliyah wakes from her dream when she was disturbed by lightning and thunder. N?velDrama.Org owns this. Then suddenly she heard the rain drops are falling on the roof. When Aliyah wakes up from her dream she remembers who she really is. "My real name is Haya. I am Haya." Aliyah mumble. Now she knew where she came from. "But how can I go back to my father?" Aliyah asked herself. Thinking of his father, Aliyah shiver. "How about my father? What happened to him? I need to know." Aliyah said talking to herself. Then Aliyah thinks for a possible person who can help her go back to her own country. Aliyah had no n to tell Elsa and to Elsa''s family that she regained her memory. Aliyah still wants to belong here because she knew that this olddy considered her as a real granddaughter even though she is not rted to her. And when Aliyah go back to her own country she will just make an excuse that she will just work there. Aliyah just wants to go back to Bosnia just to know what happened to his father but she will go back here to Elsa''s country. Here in Elsa''s house she felt that she is important, never rejected or never abandoned. Aliyah doesn''t want to lose them as a family. Then Aliyah started to search on social media the possible name of a person that can help her. Suddenly, Aliyah remembered Atif. She wants to check the profile of Atif so she unblocked him. Aliyah carefully checks Atif''s profile and searches on inte Atif ''whereabouts. She is correct, Atif is her friend- that little boy in her dreams every night. She will ask for help to Atif so that she will know what happened to her father after the ship has sunk. Aliyah knew that Atif would help her. She knew that Atif would not refuse to help her. Aliyah decided to send a message to Atif. ¡°Hi. How are you?" Aliyah sent the message. Atif is busy reading business proposals when he receives the message. Atif was so surprised when he saw that Aliyah unblocked him in her old ount. Atif feels so happy. He decided to reply first even though it means that he will be distracted from what he is doing right now. "I''m fine. How about you? Atif replied. Aliyah sent her old photo to Atif. Her photo when she was just a teenager. The photo is not taken in Bosnia but here in Asia. But Aliyah hopes that Atif will remember her as Haya. Atif nearly dropped his phone on the floor when he viewed the photo that Aliyah was sent. As if he saw a ghost. "Haya?!¡± Atif''s mind shouted. Atif eyes widen he can''t believe what he is seeing right now. "Aliyah really looks like Haya." Atif thought. Atif never thought that Aliyah is Haya. He just thought that they just look alike. "But why is she sending me with her old photo.¡± Atif wonder. Atif will type a message to ask Aliyah about this but before he can type a message he received another message from Aliyah. "Do you still remember me?" Aliyah asked. "Of course." Atif said. Aliyah is so d when she receives the message of Atif. She thinks that Atif remembers her as Haya. But Aliyah is wrong. Because Atif never thought that she was Haya. CHAPTER 37 CHAPTER 37 "I''m d you still remember me." Aliyah replied. Before Atif can type his reply he receives another message from Aliyah. "Please help me Atif, I just want to know what happened to my father after the ship sank. Have you heard any news about him? I know it''s too long ago but I just regain my memory right now. My memory was lost after that incident. That''s why I was not able to inform him that I survived." Aliyah said. Atif was so confused this time, that¡¯s why he is asking himself; "What is she talking about?" Atif types his reply. ¡°I¡¯m sorry but I don''t know who your father is. You never mentioned him to me when we were chatting before." Atif said. Aliyah feels sad when she reads the message of Atif. Because it means that he remembers her as Aliyah and never recognizes her as Haya. "Never mind. Forget it. The message is not for you. It¡¯s just wrong sent. I''m sorry." Aliyah replied. "Oh don''t you worry. It''s okay." Atif replied. When Aliyah didn''t reply Atif decided to go back on reading the business proposal that he is studying this time. Aliyah regretted that he already blocked Almir and said that she will not apply for the job that he is offering. Unknowingly that Almir is Also Atif. Aliyah wants to unblock Almir thinking that it''s another way so that she can go back to her own country, but Aliyah feels shy this time and didn''t do so. She is thinking any other way on how she can go back to her own country when he remembers the man that bought all the fish yesterday. Aliyah remembers the agency that the man mentioned yesterday. He said that the agency is located in the city where Aliyah is working. The agency is hiring overseas workers going to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Aliyah makes up her mind that she will apply there as soon as she goes back to the city tomorrow. Aliyah went back to the city to go to work again without mentioning to Elsa or any of Elsa''s family members that she regained her memory. One monthter¡­ Aliyah was finished applying for a job. She will fly to Bosnia and Herzegovina before this weekend. Aliyah didn''t inform her grandmother Elsa that she''s done applying for a job which is located in Bosnia. Elsa didn''t know about her flight. What Elsa knew is Aliyah was transferred to the sisterpany of her present job that is located in another city. Aliyah said to Elsa that she cannot go home to their hometown just like before because the schedule of her work is different this time. But the truth is she cannot go home because she will go back to her own country. Because Aliyah remembers all the things that had happened in her life there in Bosnia and Herzegovina before, she decided to go home secretly. Aliyah remembers the man who bought the fish. He is Seth. Aliyah and Seth are of the same age. She knew Seth because her mother and Seth mother are friends. She knew that the father of Seth is a private detective working for Haris. And Aliyah guessed that maybe Seth is also a private detective now at present like his father. Aliyah knew that Seth had something to do with Haris. She thinks that maybe the old man is helping her father to find her. And Seth was there thest time because he is getting information about her and wants to confirm if she is really Haya. And maybe they are nning to send her back home. Aliyah remembers that she is living in her father''s cousin''s house. She remembers how her Aunt Selma treated her badly. She doesn''t want to go back to that house. Because of that Aliyah decided not to inform anyone that she regain her memory. She doesn''t want to go back to her old life in her Aunt Selma''s house. Aliyah knew that she cannot stay at her father''s house because her stepmother doesn''t like her around in the house. Aliyah decided not to inform anyone that she will fly back to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Aliyah just wants to know what happened to her father after that ident that is why she will go back there. She will know it secretly. Aliyah is not ready to face them again and swear she will not go back to her Aunt Selma''s house again. Aliyah knew that Haris would not notice that she applied for a job in hispany. Aliyah used a different identity this time to hide that she is Aliyah or Haya. Aliyah used a different name. Also she makes changes in her physical appearance so that she can hide from them. She copied the appearance of the Asian woman. She colored her hair like the hair of women living in Asia. Her looks can¡¯t deny the fact that she is a European so she makes herself look Asian. Now she can be mistaken as Korean or Japanese. With that look she cannot easily be noticed or recognized by any of them when she goes back to her own country. And she uses the name- AMAYA. Aliyah is a little bit excited to see Atif again. Way back, even though she never talked to Atif again since the day she left him at the house of Haris. Aliyah watches Atif from a distance whenever she misses her little friend. And Atif didn''t know about it. At present, since the day Aliyah unblocked Atif they continue chatting with each other. But Aliyah never revealed to Atif that she is also Haya. Aliyah is in deep thoughts about Atif when she received a message from Atif. "How are you?" Atif message. "I''m fine." Aliyah replied. "Sorry if I was not able to chat for a few days.¡± Atif replied. "It''s alright .I know you''re busy." Aliyah said. "Ha-ha... As always." Atif replied. "So where are you thest few days?" Aliyah asked. ¡°On a business trip. And then checking the new perfume factory that is owned by my grandfather. How about you?" Atif replied. "At work." Aliyah said. ¡°Aliyah do you want to work here?¡± Atif asked. ¡°I don''t know. Are you encouraging me to go there?" Aliyah replied. ¡°Yes." Atif replied. "Why?" Aliyah asked. "Because I want to see you in person for us to get to know each other better.¡± Atif said. "Ha-ha. You know my life revolves around here for many years. I like my new family and my life here at N?velDrama.Org owns this. present but I will go back there for a while just to see what happened to my father after we met that tragic ident on the passenger cruise ship going here in Asia. If you want to see me go there at your old dwelling ce at the same time on the same day of the week. Just like the old times. You can find me there. ¡°Aliyah replied. Aliyah replied like that because she wants to know if Atif will remember her as Haya. Because it seems to her that Atif already forgot her. ¡°Aliyah you''re wrong sent again? ¡°Atif asked when he received the message of Aliyah. Atif just thought that Aliyah''s message is not for him. He thought that she had just made a mistake in sending that message. "No.You really want to see me? If yes, do what I say." Aliyah replied. Atif was puzzled when he read Aliyah''s replies. Atif thinks that Aliyah is just kidding so he just replied like this; ¡°Okay. I will but will you please tell me where that ce is? "Atif replied. ¡°See me at the fast food at the corner of the city street near the footbridge." Aliyah replied. "Ha-ha. Okay! "Atif replied. Atifughs at his reply because he thinks that Aliyah is just really kidding. Their conversation ended when somebody came to Atif''s office to talk about business. As time goes by Atif''s feelings for Aliyah grow deeper. Atif knew that he really likes Aliyah. He is sure of his feeling that he is slowly falling in love with Aliyah. But not Aliyah. Aliyah knew that what she feels for Atif before is just for deepest friendship. Yes maybe she loves Atif but as a friend. It is clear to her this time that she is not falling for Atif. What she feels is just that Atif is important to her and she cares about him as a friend just like before long time ago. Sad to say that their feelings is not mutual. CHAPTER 38 CHAPTER 38 8:00 am Thursday, in Bosnia and Herzegovina Sarajevo International Airport The ne that Aliyah boarded arrived in the Airport. Finally Aliyah arrived in her own country. She can''t believe she is here again right now; After so many years being trapped in another ce, living with a different identity; she can hardly believe that she will regain her memory and can go back to this country. At first she is hesitant to step outside the ne. Then after a few minutes she stepped outside and got hernguage and slowly walked until she reached the waiting area for the passenger who arrived at the airport and waited for their rtives, family or friends for them to be fetched. Aliyah walked fast to pass this area for there is no one she will wait here. She arrived here secretly like what she nned that she wille back here in her own country hiding her real identity. She doesn''t want to go back to her old life here living in her father''s cousin''s house, living with people who will all be cruel to her. Aliyah''s emotion was mixed. She feels d that she can see his father again and will know what happened to him after so many years after that cruise ship sank. In addition to that, she feels d because she will be able to see Atif. But she felt bad because she remembered bad memories that she wanted to leave behind. Aliyah takes a ride going to Zenica. When she arrived at the city she looked for a ce to stay. Fortunately she found a room for rent near the ce where she will be going to work the next few days. The factory that Haris owns where Aliyah will be going to work by next week is located nearby the ce that Aliyah chose to stay. It''s alreadyte in the afternoon when Aliyah found a ce to stay. After she settles the payment for rent to the room the owner of the apartment gave her the key for her room. Aliyah is too tired because she is wandering out in the city for the half of the day looking for a ce to stay here in her own country. It is around 2:00 pm in the afternoon when she reaches the unit where the room for rent is located. She immediately opened it. The room was small and just enough for one person to stay. Thete afternoon sun was entering the window when Aliyah entered the room. She closed the window. Then decided to take a rest before she will buy some household and food supplies. Because Aliyah is too tired she immediately falls into a deep sleep. It''s already evening when she wakes up. Aliyah was so hungry when she woke up. Because there is no food in her room she decided to go out and buy some food. It is cold outside when Aliyah steps out of the apartment. Aliyah walks on the street looking for some grocery store or fast food so that she can buy food. But there is no grocery or fast food nearby. Then Aliyah see that there is a passenger bus approaching. Aliyah decided to ride on the bus. The bus stopped at the bus station in the city downtown; the downtown is just few meters away from her apartment. Aliyah went down immediately when the bus stopped. The moment her feet touch the ground she gets a clear view of the ce where the bus stopped. She recognizes that this was the old dwelling ce of Atif. In this ce Atif always waits for her in the past. All the memories of their friendship are alling back to her now. The wind blew hard. The wind was so called for it is winter season. This winter''s evening only reminds her of Atif. Aliyah remembers that in the past exactly like this day and time Atif always waits for her in this ce on the fast food at the corner of the opposite street. Aliyah walked fast on a busy street to reach the footbridge. She decided to cross on the other side of the street to reach the old fast food at the corner of the street to dine in. She decided to go there on that fast food because in her heart there is a silent wish. She hopes she will see Atif around here this present time waiting for her just like before. Even though she knew that she is not ready to face Atif again. Aliyah hopes that Atif still remembers her even though she walked away from him in the past and left him all alone in the care of Haris. Aliyah feels so hungry. Her stomach is rumbling. She walks as fast as she can. Then Aliyah go upstairs on the footbridge. She is now walking on the top of the footbridge when a stranger bumps into her. Aliyah lost her bnce and stumbled down on the floor of the footbridge. She can''t move for a few seconds. Her knees are aching because it hit the floor of the footbridge when she stumbled. She can''t stand up easily. While the stranger who bumps at her lost grip on his cellphone. The cell phone dropped in front of Aliyah. So the man sat in a squat position and picked his phone. Then he checked what happened to Aliyah. Aliyah heard the man talking. "I''m sorry. Are you okay?" The man said. Aliyah now is sitting on the floor and looking on her knees that got a small wound. The bloodes out in her wound so she decided to tie it up with her handkerchief. Aliyah got so angry with this man and she was ready to throw harsh words on him but when she looked unto the man she was not able to say even a single word when she saw the appearance of a man. He N?velDrama.Org owns this. looks so familiar. Aliyah tried to remember where she saw this man. He is a good looking young man. He''s tall. Maybe he is six feet and 4 inches. He has long dark hair that he keeps in a man bun with some strands falling and curled prettily around his face. His eyes are green as green lights shine in the dark evening. He looks so gorgeous in his dark ck business suit. The young man repeated his question to Aliyah when she didn''t answer and just stared at him. The young man notices that Aliyah is trying to remember something when she stares at him. "Are you okay Madame? The young man said. But Aliyah doesn''t speak. ¡°Let me help you stand." The young man said when he didn''t receive any answer from Aliyah. The young man offered his hand to help Aliyah stand up because she is still sitting on the floor of the footbridge. But Aliyah just ignored his help and stood up immediately when she was able topose herself. Then she stepped back away from him. The young man just shrugged his shoulders, put his hand in his pocket and smiled even though he got little bit embarrassed because of Aliyah''s action. Then he decided to apologize again and introduce himself to her. "Am sorry Madame. I know it was my fault for I''m using my cellphone while walking but I didn''t mean what happened. Anyway I''m Atif. A grandson of the chief executive of H & A Summit Holding, Inc., Mr. Haris." The young man said. Hearing those words Aliyah''s eyes widened and was not able to talk. She can''t believe that this is Atif at present. ¡°Madame Will you ept my apology? I''m really sorry. "Atif speaks again. Aliyah just nodded her head in response to what Atif said. Then she slowly walked to reach the other end of the footbridge to go down on the other side of the street. Atif follows Aliyah. When Aliyah noticed that Atif was still behind her and wanted to talk to her, Aliyah walked as fast as she could and left Atif almost behind. Yes, Aliyah wanted to see Atif again but she is not ready to face her him again. All she can do right now is to run away like she always did if she cannot face the present situation. But Atif seems determined to talk to her right now. Wanted to know her name. Unknowingly that she is his old friend Haya before and Aliyah at present hiding in another identity which looks different from her true identity that''s why Atif didn''t recognize her. ¡°Wait! Madame what is your name?" Atif asked as he followed her down the staircase of the footbridge. But Aliyah went down the stairs so fast without saying a word and never looked back at Atif. Atif was left on the top of the stairs of the footbridge. He decided to stop following her. He shook his head while smiling. "Why does she want to avoid me? Is she angry with me? Or is she scared? Do I look like a scarecrow?" Atif mumbled and crossed his arms on his chest. CHAPTER 39 CHAPTER 39 Atif saw thedy enter the fast food building at the corner of the street. Because thedy''s looks and behavior catches Atif''s attention he decides to follow her to the fast food. Atif got interested in her. He wants to know her furthermore. Atif can''t just ept that he was ignored like that by a woman. She is the only woman who can resist his charm and have the nerve to ignore him. He was never ignored by any woman like that before. Most of the women he met got interested in talking to him, and knew him further because of his looks, charm and status in life. But thisdy is different so Atif was challenged by her behavior. In addition, thedy is pretty cute. She is tiny and slim. Her face looks beautiful even though she is wearing eyesses. Atif can''t forget her bright brown eyes with long eyshes. When Atif looks into her eyes when she is staring at him he gets this feeling that he has seen those eyes before. But Atif just ignores the feeling for he thought it''s impossible because thedy looks like an Asian woman, a foreigner who maybe just arrived in this country. Atif wants to know who she is because there is something that he can''t exin. He got this feeling that he met her before but he doesn''t know where or when. He wants to know if what he feels is for real or it is just an illusion. So Atif also goes to the fast food to follow thedy. When he saw thedy order food and dine in on the fast food he entered the fast food immediately and ordered some food. Then he walks towards the table where thedy is sitting and asks her if he can share on the table. "Excuse me Madam. Can I sit here?" Pointing the chair opposite in front of thedy. Atif didn''t wait for thedy to answer. He just put his food on the table and sat down on the opposite chair in front of thedy. Aliyah was so surprised when he recognized who was sitting in front of her. Aliyah can''t believe Atif will still follow her after what she did to him a while ago. She knew that Atif was embarrassed by her action when they met on the footbridge. And because of that Aliyah thinks that he will not follow her or talk to her anymore. But she is wrong. Atif still follows her. Aliyah had no choice but to face Atif now even though she is not ready for this encounter. It''s been too long since thest time they talked. Atif is just a little boy way back when she left him. Aliyah is not ready to answer his questions about why she left and never talks to him again. Aliyah remembers how Atif cried that day but she is determined to leave that time. Anyway Atif doesn''t know that she is Haya or even Aliyah this time that''s why she decided to talk to him. In fact he will never recognize her easily for she is hiding in a different identity and appearance. Then after a serious consideration if she will talk to Atif or just wait for Atif to ask questions again Aliyah got the nerve to asks Atif this question; What do you want?" Aliyah asked. "Just want to sit here to know your name." Atif answered without hesitation and looked straight into her eyes. "Why?" Aliyah asked, then raised her eyebrow. Atif empty his mouth before he talks because he eats the hamburger that he ordered a while ago. ¡°I just want to know." Atif answered while smiling. Aliyah takes a deep breath before she talks again. "My name is Amaya." Aliyah said. ¡°Nice name. Nice meeting you Amaya." Atif said. Then he continues eating his food while Aliyah does the same. Then after a few minutes Atif talks again. ¡°Where do you live?" Atif asked. "Just a few meters away from here." Aliyah said. Atifughed and said; "The exact address please? ¡°Atif said. Aliyah gets slightly annoyed with the behavior of Atif. She can''t believe that this is the Atif that she knew a long time ago. Aliyah thinks of a way so that Atif''s attention will focus on something and not to her. So instead of answering Atif''s questions Aliyah got her cellphone from her bag. She will send Atif a message so that he will stop bothering her and she can leave without being noticed by him. Aliyah typed a message then sent it to Atif. "HI. Where are you?" Aliyah''s message. When Atif feels that his phone vibrates in his pocket. He pulled it out and read the message. Then he reads that the message came from Aliyah. "I''m fine. How about you?" Atif replied. "Where are you?" Aliyah replied. "On fast food. Eating dinner together with ady who catches my attention but don''t be jealous because maybe she''s not interested in me" Atif replied, teasing Aliyah. Aliyah raised her eyebrows when she received the message of Atif. "And why should I?! We don''t have any rtionship or what." Aliyah replied. Because she is in front of Atif she sees that Atif is smiling when he reads his message. Because Aliyah is here in front of Atif she saw how Atif smiled when he received her message. So Aliyah is aware that Atif is teasing her. Atif replied to her message. ¡°Okay. But you said before that you have feelings for me right that''s why I thought you will get jealous if I''m with another woman." Atif replied. Aliyah raised her eyebrow and sighed when she read the message of Atif. That action of Aliyah is noticed by Atif that is why he nced at Aliyah. Atif continues eating his food while waiting for the reply of Aliyah; unknowingly that thedy who is in front of him eating at the same table is Aliyah. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Aliyah is about to finish eating her food. She decided to finish eating her food before typing her reply to Atif. Aliyah seeded in diverting Atif''s attention. Because when she starts sending messages to him it seems that he is not interested to talk to her anymore. He focused on his cellphone. Aliyah types her reply to Atif. ¡°Like what you said before, maybe I''m just mistaken about my feelings for you. Yes it''s true that I''m just mistaken about that. The truth is what I feel for you is just love for a friend." Aliyah replied. When Aliyah sees that Atif is about to read her message she immediately stands up and yes Atif notices that she is about to leave but he just nces at her then focuses his attention on reading her message instead of talking to her. Aliyah felt relief when Atif didn''t follow her when she walked outside the fast food. After walking outside the fast food, Aliyah stopped for a while. She watched Atif from a distance. Aliyah sees that Atif''s face gets serious when he reads her message. She sees that disappointment cross Atif''s handsome face because of her reply. She sees that Atif looks far away and loses his appetite in eating his food. Aliyah felt sorry about that because she knew that she is the reason why Atif feels bad. Aliyah realizes that she is more important to Atif than any other woman. He can ignore other women when she starts messaging her. Because of that there are some questions that arise in Aliyah''s mind. First, why did he feel sad about her reply? Next, is Atif expecting that their rtionship can be more than just friends this time? Aliyah received a reply from Atif. "Only for a friend?" Atif asked. ¡°Yes. What do you expect?" Aliyah replied. Aliyah asked that question to know why Atif''s reaction about her message is like that. Aliyah sees that Atif is typing his reply. And his face now looks sadder than a while ago. She sees Atif type his reply and stand up. Aliyah thought that maybe he would go home. When Aliyah receives the message of Atif her attention is diverted on reading the message. "Never mind. Forget it." Atif replied. When she looked again to the direction where Atif was walking she didn''t see him so she decided to go on to the next grocery store to buy some supplies. Then after 30 minutes Aliyah is finished buying some stuff she needed in her new ce. She walked outside the store. She is about to walk down the street to go to the bus stop again to go home when a ck Ferrari parked in front of her. Then the owner of the car stepped outside. Aliyah was shocked when she saw that the owner of the car was Atif. Atif immediately get the stuff that she buy from the grocery and before she can talk Atif manage to put it inside his car then he open the door of his car in front and said to her; "Madame! Let''s go. I''ll drive you home." Atif said. "What?!" Aliyah eximed. Aliyah can¡¯t believe that Atif still follows her. She thought that Atif is not interested anymore in following her but to her surprise he is here again in front of her. ¡°I said I''ll drive you home." Atif said. ¡°Give me back those things. No need to drive me home. I can manage to go home alone. Will you please stop following me?" Aliyah said. ¡°Come on. Let''s go. It''s getting cold here. Look, the snow is starting to fall." Atif insisted. But Aliyah is determined not to allow Atif to know where she is residing. For sure Atif will always go to her ce if he knows where she is staying. Aliyah is determined not to get inside his car. But Atif insists and it seems to some passersby that they are arguing and they look at them. To avoid creating a scene, Aliyah had left no choice but to ride in his car and let him drive her home. CHAPTER 40 CHAPTER 40 After a few minutes they arrived at the ce where Aliyah is staying. When the car stopped Aliyah opened the car door immediately and stepped outside to get the stuff she bought at the grocery which is at the backseat of Atif''s car. But as quick as the wind, Atif already gets it before she can touch the grocery''s bags. Atif volunteers to help her carry those bags going up to her unit. Because Atif was already holding those stuff Aliyah let him carry it. Aliyah knew that she could not stop Atif from doing so. Aliyah knew that Atif wanted to help her because he wants to know where she is staying. They arrived at the room where Aliyah is renting. Atif put down the grocery''s bags. To thank Atif as well as to annoy him Aliyah decided to offer him a cup of tea. Aliyah remembers that Atif didn''t like the taste of tea. She knew that Atif didn''t want to drink tea. Atif mentioned that to her when they were chatting when they talked about their favorite foods. She wants to annoy Atif so that he won''t go back to her ce. Aliyah wants to see Atif but she wants to keep distance from Atif because she is afraid that one day Atif will discover that she is also Haya and Aliyah if he will alwayse around here in her ce. She doesn''t want Atif to discover her secret because she is not ready to face his questions: why did she go away a long time ago; why did she have to leave him before and end their friendship. Aliyah decided to annoy Atif so that he will go away and keep distance from her. Aliyah does her first move. She talk to Atif; "Thanks for volunteering to drive me home and carrying those bags. Please take your seat. I will just make a cup of drinks." Aliyah said with a smile on her face. "My pleasure. You''re wee. Thank you." Atif said as he sat down on a coach near the window. From the window of Amaya''s room he can see the perfume factory owned by his grandfather Harris. It is located on the opposite side a few meters away from the apartment. Atif smiled because it means he can visit Amaya often for the next few days even though he is busy managing the factory. Atif didn''t notice that Aliyah was looking at him while making a cup of tea. She is nning what she will do to annoy Atif so that he won''te back to her ce. The bad side of her personality is manifesting that''s why Aliyah is acting like that. It doesn''t want to get close to Atif while the other side of her personality wants to see Atif and talk to him. Her personality begins splitting again as well as her emotions. As always the bad side wins when her psychological disorder is manifesting. Aliyah is finished making two cups of tea. She carries it to where Atif is sitting. She stand in front of Atif then she asked Atif this question; "Coffee or Tea?" Aliyah asked. "Coffee." Atif said. "You''re wrong it''s tea." Aliyah said and then she gave the cup of tea to Atif. Aliyah sees the hesitation on his face to ept the cup of tea. And Aliyah knew what the reason was. Aliyah smiled triumphantly. Even though Atif doesn''t like to drink tea he just epts the cup of tea that Amaya is offering. He doesn''t want Amaya to get offended. "Thanks Amaya. But I thought I could choose between coffee and tea." Atif said then he smiled at Aliyah. Aliyahughed. "I didn¡¯t say you have to choose between coffee and tea. I asked you to guess what is inside the cup. Your guess was wrong. It''s not coffee. It''s tea." Aliyah said. "Okay." Atif said. "Why don''t you drink that cup of tea so that you can leave now?" Aliyah said. Atif doesn''t know what to say this time. He is wondering what kind of attitude thisdy has. Her attitude is somewhat rude Atif tried to drink the tea but he couldn''t drink it. He doesn''t like the taste of tea, especially this green tea. He just pretends that it''s still hot, that''s why he can''t drink it. Atif smiled at Amaya when he noticed that Amaya was staring at him as if she was expecting that she would drink the tea. So even though Atif doesn''t like the taste of it he forced himself to drink it all. He admits to himself that doing it is a little bit annoying. Doing what he don''t want makes him really annoy but he knew that he was to me because he insisted to know thisdy. In Fact she never invites him toe to her ce he just volunteer to go with her. Atif got this feeling that Amaya intentionally served him the drinks that he doesn''t like to taste to annoy him but he can''t prove it because he knew that this is the first time that they meet each other. He is so sure that Amaya doesn''t know that he hates drinking green tea. Because of that Atif thinks that maybe he is just imagining things or just bing judge mental. When Aliyah sees that Atif drinks the tea she smiles as sweetly as she can and asks Atif this question. ¡°Do you like the taste?" Aliyah asked even though she already knew the answer just to annoy Atif more. Aliyah knew that Atif got annoyed at her. Atif justughed softly when he heard the question of Amaya because he didn''t want to say no. He didn''t want to offend her even though he felt slightly annoyed by her. When Atif saw Amaya smile he felt that he saw the same smile but he can''t recall the person with that kind of smile as Amaya. After a few minutes Atif decided to leave. Aliyah apany him until he reached his car. Atif is about to get inside his car when he hears Amaya talk. "Are youing back?" Aliyah asked just to know if Atif will stille back here so that she can avoid him or hide herself from him when hees back. Atif turn around, smile and said; "I don''t know Amaya. I will be very busy for sure in the next few days. I just got a little free time this evening. Honestly my grandfather is waiting for me now. I will apany him on a business trip this evening. I just came intentionally to the city downtown around the fast food and up to the footbridge even just for a while." Atif answered. "Why?" Aliyah asked. Aliya notices Atif looking far away before he answers in a soft voice. As if he is just talking to himself and not to her "Because I still can''t let her memory go. I''m still hoping, waiting for her toe to that ce just like before. So whenever I find free time I go to that ce. Even though I knew that it is too impossible to see her again. She is gone a long time ago." Atif said. ¡°Who is she?" Aliyah asked. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. "Her name is Haya. But never mind. Just forget what I''ve said. I''ll go now. See you around." Atif said while getting inside his car. Aliyah just can''t believe what she heard from Atif. Aliyah doesn''t know what to say. She heard Atif started the engine of his car. He is about to leave. Atif waves his hand to Amaya to indicate that he is about to leave, then he drives away. Atif noticed that Amaya can''t move from where she is standing and didn''t say anything when she heard the name of Haya. While driving home Atif thinks about the possible reason why Amaya''s reaction is like that. CHAPTER 41 CHAPTER 41 Atif arrived home. He immediately proceeds to his grandfather''s room because he is expecting that his grandfather is in the room preparing for the business trip that they''re going to. Atif walks as fast as he can to reach his grandfather''s room. He is in a hurry because he iste on the time that his grandfather Haris expects him to arrive at home. When he reached his grandfather''s room, its door was slightly open. Before Atif enters the room he takes a deep breath, preparing himself if ever he gets a sermon from his grandfather. He pushed the door and entered. But no one was inside the room. His grandfather is not inside the room. Only the small traveling bag that his grandfather used to carry when they had a business trip. He immediately went outside the room. He searched for Haris. The maid said that Haris is at the study room talking to a visitor. Atif proceeds to the study room. He is about to knock on the door of the study room when he hears the voice of his grandfather, Haris asking his visitor this question; ¡°So where is Aliyah now, Seth?" Haris asked. Atif stops himself from knocking on the door. He decided to listen first to the conversation of his grandfather and Seth before letting them know that he is here. Atif got curious because he knew that Seth is a private detective working for his grandfather, Haris. Atif hears Seth answer his grandfather''s questions. ¡°She arrived today here in Bosnia .I followed her until she got a ce to stay. She stays at one of the apartment near the ce of the perfume factory. ¡°Seth answered. "Thanks God that you still manage to find her when she changed her identity in applying in my ¡°I always observing and following her where about Sir since the day she said that she will apply on other job offer going here in Bosnia. Fortunately, I saw her securing some requirements in applying for a job overseas but the papers didn''t bear her identity as Aliyah. Then after a few days she made changes with her physical appearance. She color her hair, wears make up just to copy the image of Asian woman. After doing that she applied on the agency that hires workers for your factory. She is using new identity with the name AMAYA." Seth told the story. Atif clearly hears the story that Seth was told to Haris. It was clear to him that they are talking about thedy name Amaya. And probably she is the samedy that he met today. Atif can''t believe that Amaya is also Aliyah. Atif continue to listen to the conversation of Seth and Haris. He heard his grandfather talk again. ¡°Why she need to change her identity before applying to mypany?" Haris asked in curious tone. "Sir I suspected that Aliyah regain her memory. She already remember that she is HAYA. Maybe she wants to go back in our country secretly. She doesn''t want anyone to know that she regain her memory. She didn''t inform even her considered grandmother Elsa that she will work her in Bosnia. What Elsa knew she was just transferred to the sisterpany of the factory where she works at present so she cannot go home every weekend to their hometown." Seth said. ¡°Maybe Haya just want to know what happened to her father after the cruise ship sank but she doesn''t want to go back to her old life here in Bosnia. She didn''t inform Elsa that she regain her memory because she wants to live as Aliyah. Maybe she is afraid that things might change if her considered grandmother Elsa knew that she regain her memory." Harris said. ¡°Maybe that is Haya''s reasons for hiding her identity whening here in Bosnia." Seth agreed to Haris. ¡°Okay. All you have to do this time is to observe her. Don''t let Haya get away from this country again. I This is from N?velDrama.Org. will inform her father that she already here. I talk to you againter." Haris said. Atif can believe that AMAYA, ALIYAH and HAYA is only one. Atif is so confused how it did happen but he feel so d hearing that Haya is alive. Atif heard that Seth is about to leave so he immediately step back 4 meters away from the door of the study room to pretend that he is just walking towards it just now when the door swing open. He will just pretend that he didn''t heard anything about the conversation of Haris and Seth. As the door of the study room swing open and Atif sees Seth go outside he started to walk back again towards the study room. Pretending that he knew nothing. When Seth sees Atif he greet him. "Good evening Sir!" Seth said. "Good evening!" Atif answered. Then Seth go on his way and Atif get inside the study room. Haris is still sitting on the elegant swivel chair of the study room. ¡°Good evening Grandfather. I''m looking for you everywhere inside this house when I arrived. You are just here." Atif greet his grandfather. ¡°Why you go homete? Eat your dinner so that we can go. We need to reach Sarajevo this evening so that we can still take a rest. We have an early business meeting there tomorrow morning." Haris said. "So let¡¯s go. I already ate dinner that''s why I''mte." Atif answered. ¡°Okay. Let''s go." Haris said. Haris put on his eyesses and stand up. Then he get the traveling bag in his room while Atif go straight to the garage to get the car ready for their trip. Few minutester they left. Half an hourter they are on their way heading to Sarajevo. While driving Atif thoughts was not on their business trip. His mind was upied with thoughts about Haya. Atif is nning to visit Haya tomorrow evening after their business trip. He too excited to see Haya again. CHAPTER 42 CHAPTER 42 Like what Atif was nning 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 rx even just for a while. Without any questions his grandfather Haris allowed him to go. After 20 minutes driving, Atif arrived at Haya''s ce. 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 Ie 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 rted 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 n 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 be 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 hees 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 ce. 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 tes, 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. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. 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 be her fianc¨¦. 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 andposed 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 exined. 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. 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 te. 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. Hees 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 te. Again Atif could do nothing when Haya put some foods on his te 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. CHAPTER 43 CHAPTER 43 They are about to begin eating their food when Atif''s phone on Haya''s pocket rings. Haya pulled it from her jeans pocket. Atif tries to get his phone from Haya when he sees who is calling. Nea is calling. Thedy that Atif dated. They sometimes talk to each other when Nea calls him. "Will you please give me my phone?" Atif asked Haya in a gentle manner. But Haya just gave Atif a sharp look and still didn''t hand the phone to Atif until the call ended. Atif doesn''t understand why. "Is she angry?" Atif thought. Then Atif''s phone rings again. And it''s Nea again. This time Haya turned off the phone and put it back in her pocket. Atif didn''t insist on getting his phone again. He just began to eat his food silently. Then he heard Haya talk. "Finish your food first then I will give you your phone. You are not allowed to use your phone while eating." Haya said. "What?! I''m not a child to treat me like that." Atif said with a frown in his face. Haya noticed it so she said. "Will you agree or not? If not I will give back your phone now but don''te back here anymore." Haya said. ¡°But I agree right? So I am allowed toe here anytime I want." Atif said. Haya didn''t answer, instead she just raised her eyebrows and frowned. Atif justughs softly when he sees Haya''s reaction. As if he wins over Haya in the game. Haya notices how clever Atif is and a very patient person. She cannot win over him. She seeds in annoying him but he shows great patience towards her. So Haya gave up. She knew that she couldn''t stop Atif froming here. Because of that Haya decided to slowly reveal to him that she is Haya. Even Though she is too afraid that Atif will question her why she left him before. Haya begins saying these words to Atif for him to recognize her. Unknowingly, Atif already knew that she is Haya. ¡°Sir Haris raised you well. You are far from the little boy that I left for his care a long time ago." Haya said. When Atif heard these words he knew that Haya wanted to reveal herself to him. She wanted to tell him who she really was. But Atif pretended that he didn''t get what she meant to say. He is afraid that Haya will leave him just like what she did before. He is afraid that Haya won''t talk to him again. Because a long time ago Haya already cut theirmunication. Their friendship ended a long time ago. He is afraid that if he recognizes what Haya wants to reveal to him they will go back to that old situation. "How did you know my grandfather?¡± Atif asked to pretend that he didn''t get what she meant to say. "I knew him because I''m Haya." Haya answered. ¡°Stop kidding me Amaya. Haya was gone a long time ago. She passed away." Atif said pretending that he didn''t believe what she was saying. ¡°No. I didn''t die when the cruise ship sank. I just lost my memory and was stranded in a faraway country. Why don''t you want to believe Me.?!" Haya said. Atif sees that Haya is about to cry this time. Atif doesn''t want to see Haya cry so he decided to show that he believes what she said even though he is unsure if after this conversation Haya will not avoid him totally just like before when she left without clear reasons. ¡°Alright." Atif said then wipe Haya''s tears that will about to fall with his hands. ¡°Do you believe me now?" Haya asked. "Yeah" Atif said with a smile on his face. Haya was carried away with her emotion .She got close to Atif and embraced him. She wanted to say sorry to Atif that she left him before and will leave him again when she goes back to Asian country. She likes her present life and identity there rather than to go back to her old life here in Bosnia. But this time she will tell Atif the reasons why she will leave again in the next few months after her job contract is finished. She will bid goodbye to Atif again in the next few months. Haya embraced Atif tightly. A friendly hug. They are just like brothers and sisters missing each other. Her embrace to Atif is so tight because she knows that she will make Atif cry again when she leaves him again. All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Atif noticed Haya''s action. He knew what the meaning of that embrace is. It''s crying time again. She is going to leave him. He knew it because way back when Haya embraced him like this a long time ago before they entered the huge mansion of Haris. Then when Haris epted him in his house and promised to take care of him Haya said goodbye and left. Atif holding back his tears with all his might while Haya tears flowing freely. He felt it falling down on his shoulder. Then he heard Haya talk. "I¡¯m sorry Atif. I''m really sorry." Haya said. "It¡¯s okay. No worries." Atif said, trying hard to pretend that he''s going to be fine when Haya says goodbye again. Haya is always saying goodbye. Atif believes that his heart will survive and he''s going to be fine. ¡°Thank you for understanding me." Haya said. Atif didn''t answer. They are in that dramatic moment when a cold wind blows from the window. The snowkes gets in when the wind blows hard. They both quickly go to the window and look out to see what is happening outside. The weather gets bad as if there is a snow storm. A snowstorm is a very heavy fall of snow, usually when there is also a strong wind blowing at the same time. The snow begins to cover the street. The street looks icy. Atif''s car is almost covered with snow kes. CHAPTER 44 CHAPTER 44 Atif''s trauma manifested when he saw this kind of scenario. He still can''t forget his experiences when he was a little boy wandering out in the icy street of the city downtown. Haya sees on Atif''s face that he is somewhat afraid to go outside. She guesses that Atif still remembers his experiences a long time ago. Haya pat Atif shoulder and said; "It''s okay. You can stay here tonight. It¡¯s dangerous to drive home when the weather is bad." Haya said then smiled at Atif. "Thank you." Atif said, trying to calm himself. He doesn''t want to show his weakness even to Haya. Yes he is still afraid of that kind of scenario. His fear manifests when winteres. But he never showed it to anyone. What people see in him is that he is a man that isn''t afraid of anything. That he fears nothing in spite of his look of being gentle and sophisticated. But he knew he couldn''t really hide it from Haya. Haya can read every move he makes. Haya prepared him a ce to sleep. Then Haya gave back his phone. Atif immediately opened his phone. He checks if there is a message from his grandfather. Atif is not mistaken. He got a message from his grandfather Haris. "Atif where are you? The weather gets bad. It¡¯s too dangerous staying outside." Haris message. Atif replied to his grandfather text; ¡°Don¡¯t worry grandfather. I¡¯m safe. I will not go home tonight. I will sleep here at my friend''s house.¡± Atif replied. Atif didn''t notice that Haya is looking at him while he is texting his reply to his grandfather. Haya thinks that maybe he is texting thatdy who was calling a while ago. Haya finds herself getting jealous but she ignores that feeling. She knew that she had no right to feel that way. Haya can''t admit to herself that she felt attracted to Atif when they met again. But she will never entertain that feeling. Being his friend is enough for her because she is afraid that if she expects more than that she will only get hurt. And she doesn''t want to feel such pain. She knew Atif deserved ady who has the same status in life as him and is the same age as him. When Atif looked up from his phone he saw Haya looking at him. Atif smile and said; ¡°Don¡¯t get jealous this is not thedy who called a while ago. This is my grandfather". Atif said, showing his phone to Haya. "What?! I''m not!" Haya said. Then throws the pillow she is holding on Atif''s face. ¡°Use that. Go to sleep instead of teasing me. It''ste at night. You should rest." Haya said. Atif just catches the pillow andughs. "What''s funny? Why are youughing?!!" Haya asked. "You cannot just deny the truth and lied. I know you are jealous. I can hardly believe that you don''t." Atif said to continue teasing Haya. "Really? How did you know?!" Haya asked. "Tell me honestly Haya if you''re in love with me." Atif said while smiling instead of answering Haya''s question. "Atif you''re too much. I don''t like that joke. Stop kidding before I get angry with you. If you continue I will never talk to you again." Haya said in a serious tone. Then Haya went to bed and hid herself under the nket. "I''m sorry Haya." Atif said, stopping himself fromughing. He knew Haya was annoyed at him. Atif likes to tease her because she looks prettier when she gets annoyed. "Don''t pretend you''re sorry. I know you''re not." Haya answered. "I mean it. I''m really sorry." Atif said. Haya didn''t answer anymore. Atif wonders if she is still awake. He didn''t see her for she hid herself on a thick nket. "Haya, can we go out tomorrow? I just want to tour you around. There have been so many changes in this city since you left." Atif said. ¡°I have some important things to do tomorrow. Maybe some other time." Haya said. "Alright." Atif said Then he lies down on the airbed setting on the floor to sleep. Haya sleeps soundly while Atif is not. Every time he closes his eyes the shes of memorye into his mind. The bad weather outside and Haya reminded him of his past. The night felt so cold that makes Atif remember the time when he was sleeping on the footbridge with no roof and the snowkes falling into him. He keeps on tossing into his bed instead of sleeping because aside from remembering his past and he is trying to ovee his trauma he is notfortable sleeping in this kind of beddings. The dawn is breaking when Atif falls asleep. Its 5:00 am, Saturday Haya wakes up from deep sleep because the rm clock on Atif''s cell phone rings. She gets upzy because she thought Atif was already awake and preparing to go home But she frowned when she found out that Atif is still sleeping and didn''t mind the rm that he set. Since Haya already got up she decided to cook breakfast. The smell of onions and garlicing from the food that Haya is cooking makes Atif wake up. When Atif wakes up he sees Aliyah cooking breakfast. He got upzily from bed. He feels back pain because the beddings he uses in sleeping is quite different from those he had at home. But it doesn''t matter to him because he is with Haya. When Haya noticed that Atif was already awake she prepared breakfast for two. Then he invited Atif to eat breakfast. ¡°Good Morning. Since you are already awake, let''s eat breakfast." Haya said. ¡°Alright." Atif said and smiled at Haya. His white and beautiful teeth show when he smiles. Haya can''t deny the truth that Atif looks really attractive especially when he smiles. She feels mesmerized whenever Atif smiles but she can ignore that feeling in an instant. Though it is easy to pretend that she is not attracted to him, Haya knew that Atif is not a fool to Haya thinks that maybe Atif wants to know the truth that is why he is always teasing her. But Haya is very good at pretending and determined not to show her real feelings to Atif. Yes at first Haya thought that what she felt for Atif is just for a friend but her feelings changed when she saw Atif again in person. But Haya is always guarding her feelings because her past rtionship experiences are not good and she doesn''t want to be a fool again. For her it is better to choose to remain as Atif''s friend rather than to expect more than that. She fears that their friendship will just be ruined if she reveals her true feelings for Atif. She is afraid that it''s against all odds if she continues to feel this way to Atif. Against all odds because Haya knew that their status in life is different. She doesn''t belong to the society where he belongs. Atif belongs to a wealthy n. In his young age he is a billionaire while she has nothingpared to Atif. In addition to that their age gap is more than half a decade. Atif is just in his early 20''s while she is already a 30 year old woman. Nearly an old maid. Because of that thought Haya''s determination to leave Atif grew intense. She will leave before Atif learns about his real feelings for him. She will leave before it''s toote. Haya is so afraid to be rejected. She is too afraid that Atif will not like her more than a friend. She remember the day when they are chatting; those days that she still didn''t regain her memory; the days when Atif met her at social media using the name Aliyah; the day when she revealed that she was slowly falling for him; she remember what Atif said to her that she is just mistaken and Atif just insist that they can still remain just friends. Because of that Haya doesn''t like to take risks again to show that she likes Atif more than just friends.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. She is determined to leave him again Atif notices that Haya is in deep thoughts while they are eating breakfast. Atif wants to know what her problem is so he clears her throat first then asks her. ¡°Haya what''s wrong?" Atif asked while staring at Haya. Haya just frowned and shrugs her shoulder and said; "Nothing." Haya answered. ¡°I know there is. What are you thinking of? You can always tell me your problem. I''m here to listen and help you." Atif said. Haya looks straight to Atif''s eyes. And her look made Atif a little bit ufortable but he just smiled and met Haya''s eyes. "Atif from now on my problems are none of your business. I''m old enough to handle it. So mind your own business." Haya said. Atif is a little bit embarrassed because of what Haya said but he justughed and said; ¡°I can''t do that Haya." Atif said. ¡°And why not?" Haya asked and frowned. ¡°Because you''re my friend." Atif said. Hayaughed softly and shook her head. She knew that she cannot stop Atif from helping her solve her problems. Haya wanted to shout these words to Atif . "If you only knew that you are my problem." But Haya stopped herself from doing so instead she said. ¡°Okay. Fine. If you want to help go back here this afternoon. Apany me to my father''s house. I just want to see him to let him know that I''m alive. I knew I cannot hide the truth from them. Sooner orter they will find who I am. I knew Seth is following me. I can''t hide from them no more. I have no choice but to face my old life here again." Haya said irritably. ¡°Okay. Your wish is mymand." Atif said dly. Atif finished eating his breakfast then prepared to go home. As usual Haya apanied him outside going to where his car was parked. The sunshine shines brightly when they go outside the apartment but the trace of the snow stormst night is still visible. Atif wipes some snowkes which are still on the roof of his car while talking to Haya. ¡°Haya I''ll be back in the afternoon." Atif said. ¡°Alright." Haya said. After cleaning his car Atif gets near to Haya. Haya didn''t expect the next move of Atif. Atif hug her and kiss her forehead, then said; ¡°Bye Haya." Atif said. Then he gets inside his car and starts the engine. He waves his hand to Haya to signal that he will go and he drives away. Haya was left startled and speechless. CHAPTER 45 CHAPTER 45 Atif arrives at home. Because it is the weekend all of the members of his adoptive family are in the mansion, taking rest. No one will go to the office or business trip. Jasmin call at the back of Atif when he is about to walk inside the mansion. Atif didn''t notice that Jasmin was in the hallway when he arrived. ¡°Atif it''s already morning, where did you sleepst night?¡± Jasmin asked with wide smile on his face. Atif turned around and answered. ¡°In a friend¡¯s house." Atif answered in a serious tone. "Really? Some of our employees saw you hanging around in one of the apartments near the ce of the perfume factory. So you have a friend in that kind of ce? Probably a new one?" Jasmin asked. "Yeah, I have. Is there something wrong with having a friend living in that kind of ce?" Atif answered. ¡°Oh there''s nothing wrong with that. Just saying because there are rumorsing from our employees that the next CEO of the H&A Summit Holding Inc. is hanging around with a beautifuldy living in that mean ce. The rumor startedst day. ¡°Jasmin informed Atif. "What?!" Atif eximed in disgust. ¡°So is that true Atif? You have been on that ce?" Jasmin asked. He wants to confirm from Atif if the rumor is true. "Yes. I''ve been there. I slept in her unitst night because of the bad weather. I couldn''t go homest night." Atif exined to Jasmin. "Okay. Don''t you worry because our grandfather just ignored the rumor that he heard about you from our employees. Meaning you are safe from his sermon." Jasmin said. "Oh thanks a lot. ¡°Atif said. "And that is strange because every time that he heard something like that about you he got angry and immediately warned you to stop seeing whosoever the woman is." Jasmin said. ¡°He will not get angry because he knows who thedy staying in that apartment that I visitedst night is. She is Haya. And I know you also knew that the private detective that our grandfather hired found Haya that Haya survived when the cruise ship sank. Why didn''t you tell me? "Atif said. ¡°I¡¯m sorry Bro. But that is the idea of our grandfather. I just obey what he wants. He never told you because he wants to surprise you on your birthday. He will tell you on your birthday because he thinks that is the best gift that he can give to you. Finding the person you longing to see N?velDrama.Org holds this content. again for a long time. But the situation had change. You found it out before we can tell you." Jasmin exined. "Alright I understand." Atif said. ¡°Now that she is back in your life. What are your ns?" Jasmin asked Atif while they are walking toward the garden instead of entering inside the mansion. "Even if she wants to be alone I''m still visiting her at her ce." Atif said. ¡°She wants to be alone?" Jasmin asked. ¡°Because she told me that her problem is none of my business and she is old enough to handle it." Atif answered. ¡°She told you that? You''re right she wants to solve her own problem alone without disturbing or bothering you. Maybe because she knows that you are always busy and she doesn''t want to give you additional burden, Atif." Jasmin said. ¡°Yes, maybe but I insisted on helping her so she just agreed. She allowed me to apany her when she visited her father but I felt that she was too annoyed with me because of that." Atif said. Jasminughed. Atif was puzzled why. Then Jasmin exined. ¡°You know maybe she is hiding something from you that she doesn''t want you to find out, that''s why she acts like that. Visiting her father is not really her exact problem." Jasmin said. ¡°Really? I don''t get it." Atif said. Jasminughed again and shook his head while Atif just shrugged his shoulders while waiting for Jasmin''s exnation. ¡°You don''t get it? Maybe you are her problem. She just made an excuse for you not to find it out?" Jasmin said. ¡°Me? Why?" Atif asked with curiosity in his voice. ¡°Yes you are her problem. Why? Because maybe this time she feels different about you. She is attracted to you this time. She wants to be more than just your friend but she doesn''t want to show it to you because she is afraid that you don''t feel the same way too. So she just wants to avoid you so that you won''t find out." Jasmin exined. ¡°If that would be the case she has nothing to be afraid of. She and I can be more than just friends." Atif said. ¡°All you have to do is to reveal your feelings to her. ¡°Jasmin said. ¡°Of course I will do that." Atif said. Atif felt that his cellphone vibrated in his pocket. He pulls it out to see who is messaging. He received a message from Haya using her fb ount Aliyah. ¡°Atif, do not go to my apartment this afternoon. I already left to go to my father''s house. I will visit him this morning. I wille back to my apartment tomorrow." Aliyah''s message. Atif takes a deep breath before typing his reply to Aliyah. ¡°Okay. Take care." Atif replied. Jasmin notice it so he asked Atif; "Why?" Jasmin asked. ¡°Haya already left to visit her father. She didn''t wait for me." Atif said in a sad voice. ¡°I told you she is avoiding you, that''s why she does that." Jasmin said. ¡°Okay. I agree." Atif said. Atif orders the maid to get hisptop and bring it here in the garden. He decided to finish some paperwork since he will not go out to apany Haya. He sat on the garden set and started doing his work. While Jasmin left Atif in the garden and got inside the gym near the garden. On the other hand. Few hourster Haya reached the house of his father Gil. She rings the doorbell. A youngdy opens the gate holding a little child that seems to be her child. She is Ena, the younger sister of Haya. ¡°Yes Ma''am. What can I do for you?" Ena asked. "I''m looking for my father Mr. Gil. Is he around?" Haya asked. ¡°Haya?" Ena asked ¡°Yes. I am Haya. I repeat, is he around? Can Ie in? ¡°Haya said. ¡°Yes. Pleasee in. I''m Ena. Your younger sister. Our father is in the study room. I''ll tell the maid to call him. Take your seat first." Ena introduces herself for Haya doesn''t know her for this is the first time they see each other. But Ena knew Haya very well because their father was always telling a story about her. Ena called the maid and ordered Gil to call. Haya sat in the living room. When their brother saw Haya sitting in the living room, he rushed downstairs to meet Haya. ¡°Haya how are you? I''m Ted. Your younger brother." Ted introduces himself to Haya for this is the first time he sees Haya. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Nice meeting you Ted." Haya answered. When her stepmother sees Haya she hurriedlyes near Haya and greets her. "Haya. I''m d you came. So you are willing to help your father save ourpany?" Haya''s stepmother Melinda asked. ¡°Help my father save thepany? How will I do that? What is the problem?" Haya asked in confusion. Before her stepmother could answer Haya''s question her father came. When Haya saw her father Gil she stood up and embraced her father. Haya''s father cried while saying; ¡°I thought I would never see you again, my daughter." Gil said. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. I''m here again. How can I help you?" Haya asked her father directly. Haya''s father''s family gives them time to talk. They just prepared the lunch while Gil and Haya are talking. They are both sitting now in the living room while talking about the problem of Gil. ¡°So Sir Haris already gave you the fund you needed? Yourpany was saved from shutting down. So why still you need my help to save thepany? ¡°Haya asked his father. Gil exin everything to his daughter Haya. ¡°The owners of thepanies under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. are only rtives and close friends of Sir Haris who all belong from upper ss society; they only wanted business partners orpany owners that are also from the society where they belong. They don''t want to ept anyone who is not rted to any one of them like Gil to belong to H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. They suggest that if I wants to belong in H & A Summit Holdings, Inc., any of my son or daughter will marry anyone who belongs to H & A Summit Holdings, Inc.¡± Gil exined. ¡°Why you chooses me? Why you don¡¯t just choose Ena or Ted?¡± Haya asked in disgust. ¡°Because they are both married. You¡¯re the only one who is not.¡± Gil answered. ¡°You just agreed to them without consulting me whether I will agree or not.¡± Haya asked. ¡°I agreed to them and signed the contract. Because ourpany needs fund badly. It can''t wait for you to regain your memory. So they all agreed to ept ourpany to be part of the H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. and release the fund for ourpany to be saved but it is apanied with one condition. Their condition is: I will sign an agreement. On that agreement, it is indicated that in exchange of the subsidiaries that I will get from H&A Summit Holdings, Inc. I will agree that you will marry anyone who belongs to H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. when you know that you is my long lost daughter. And if I didn''t fulfill what is asked on the agreement ourpany will be taken by H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. and this will be given to the other business partner to manage. In short, our ownership with our ownpany will be terminated. That means I will totally lost ourpany. And I can''t afford losing ourpany. Haya please help me." Gil''s said begging to her daughter Haya. ¡°Alright. I will but in exchange for my help you''re going to help those people who saved me when I was lost in Asian country. They need me to help them also with their financial needs." Haya said. "Yes I will do that Haya. Thank you for listening to me." Gil said in a d voice. ¡°But may I know who that man I will marry?" Haya asked. Gil¡¯s remember what Haris said. Haris, ordered his rtives and friends not to tell it to Atif until the date of the marriage was set. So Gil¡¯s decided not to tell it also to Haya that Atif is the man that she is about to marry. He is afraid that Haya might tell him and the n of Haris will ruin. "I still don''t know Haya. They said they are still choosing who will fit the position. Then after they made a decision they will tell me." Gil answered. "Okay. Just tell me when you already know. By the way I''m leaving." Haya said, then stood up and prepared to leave. ¡°Are you not going to eat your lunch here?" Gil asked in a sad voice. ¡°You heard what I have said right?" Haya answer. "Alright. I will drive you home." Gil said. ¡°No need. I can manage. Just inform me when the wedding day is. And don''t ask me toe around here in the next few days I will be busy. I will start working on Monday." Haya said without looking to his father. She is on her way out the door. ¡°Okay. Take care." Gil said. Then when Haya hears that her father agreed to what she said she walks away and leaves without looking back to his father. Haya doesn''t know how she managed toe home. Her mind is full of questions. Who will be that man she is about to marry? Can she handle that situation being married to someone she doesn''t know? Her heart is full of pain because Haya thinks that her father was d to see her because she can help him save hispany. Haya chose to help his father because she wanted to help her family in Asian country. She wanted to help her grandmother Elsa. Haya thinks that is the only constion she can get from this agreement. But she felt so sad because if she is married to someone else here she cannot go back to Asian country. She is sad because she wants her life there rather than going back to her old life here. But she had no choice but to help her father save thepany because thatpany belonged to her grandparents before. Haya knew how their grandparents value thatpany. CHAPTER 46 CHAPTER 46 In addition she wanted to show to her father that she is more useful than her father''s family that her father chose over her way back a long time ago. Her father left her in her Aunt Selma''s house because of her stepmother. The other side of her personality, the bad side dictates her to take revenge. She is consumed with anger this time. But the other side of her personality which is good dictates her to help her father because she is still her father even though he abandoned her when she was a child. Haya got so confused about what she felt at this moment. Then a few hourster. After the two sides of her personality fight inside of her, the bad side wins. She is ready to do bad things again. She will just listen to her father''s wish to take revenge. Haya slowly walks in front of the mirror. She decided to reveal her real physical appearance. She removed the dye on her hair. This is from N?velDrama.Org. She removes her makeup that makes her look Asian women. After removing those things her real physical appearance reveal. She looks more beautiful. When she was satisfied with her looks she decided to go outside again even though it''s already evening. She goes to the city downtown. She decided to eat her dinner at one of the restaurants in the city which is inside the huge shopping center. Haya is about to enter the restaurant when a stranger bumps on her head. She nearly slip on the floor. Her feet slide identally and she lose her bnce and about to fall over but the stranger was able to grab her arms so she didn¡¯t fall. Haya was so annoyed. She turns around to start a fight but she gets surprised when she sees who the man who bumps on her is. ¡°Atif?!" Haya eximed. Atif let go of her arms, smile and said; ¡°What are you doing here?!" Atif asked Haya frowned at him and said; "What do you think?!" Haya said. Instead of answering, Atif holds Haya''s hand and leads her inside the restaurant. To avoid creating a scene Haya just obeyed. Atif chooses a table good for two people at the corner of the restaurant. He calls the waiter and orders some food while Haya remains silent. She just observe what Atif is doing. Haya notice that Atif is really attractive even he just wear an ordinary shirts and jeans. Atif is wearing a ck shirt that fits on his semi muscr body. Atif like fashion too. Wearing ripped jeans make him fashionable and stylish. The ripped jeans that he is wearing add more charm and coolness in his personality. As well as his shoulder length dark semi curly hair that curled prettily around his face. When the food is served, Atif puts some food on Haya''s te then on his own te. Haya watches what he is doing with a frown in her face and raises eyebrows. "Come on. Let¡¯s eat. Stop raising your eyebrow at me." Atif said then smiled. ¡°Fine!" Haya said then get her spoon and fork. Atif is about to put some food again on Haya''s te but Haya stops him by hitting his hand with her spoon. "Ouch! Why do you do that?! Atif said when the spoon hit his hand. ¡°Enough. I had too much food on my te. You want me to get fat?" Haya said, frowning at Atif. Atifughed and said; ¡°On diet? Don''t worry even if you be fat, it is for sure you still have a husband? Your marriage is arranged right?" Atif said. Haya was surprised to hear those words from Atif. ¡°You already knew about that?" Haya asked. ¡°Yeah. Even the date. My grandfather told me." Atif answered while his gaze fixed on Haya''s beautiful face. Haya just ignored his action. And start eating her food. ¡°Haya you look so beautiful. You look more beautiful with your real appearance." Atif said. Haya just continued eating and pretended she heard nothing. Then after a few minutes Haya decided to ask Atif if he knew who the guy that she is about to marry. For sure Atif knew because he is one of the Board of Directors in H & A Summit Holding Inc. "Atif, do you know who that guy that I''m about to marry. My father still didn''t know who he was. He is still waiting for adviceing from your grandfather." Haya asked. ¡°Yes. Very well." Atif said. ¡°Who is he?" Haya asked ¡°Here in front of you." Atif answered. ¡°You mean, you are the one?" Haya asked. "Yes. I am." Atif answered. ¡°Atif after our marriage can you please allow me to go back to Asian country. And please let''s just remain friends." Haya said begging to Atif. But he is determined enough not to let her go again. So he take all his courage to say these words to her; ¡°Why can¡¯t it be? Why can¡¯t it be the two of us? Why can¡¯t we be lovers? Only friends?" Atif asked. Haya lowered her head. Just looking at her te. Remain silent. Her psychological condition is the main reason. Her emotion is always splitting. It takes a few minutes before she answers Atif''s question. "Because I know I''m only hurting you. I know I''m always making you cry. Maybe you''re right when you said that I need a psychiatrist. I don''t want to be your burden for a lifetime. All of my past rtionships failed. End up in break up. I''m a very difficult person to be with. I can''t control myself most of the time doing things that makes other people annoy. Also I don''t want to fall in love with you because I don''t want to get hurt anymore. I¡¯m fed up having been into a rtionship and failed. All the rtionship partners that I had before left me all alone." Haya answered. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Haya. Just for a chance to be with you I''ll try to risk all. Don''t be afraid to fall in love with me because I will never leave you until the end. I know how to keep my promises. I know how to keep them well. You really knew me at all. We can share theughter¡¯s and the pain. I will never leave you alone so please don''t go. Say you¡¯ll never go. Please? Atif said. Haya didn''t answer. She just cried. Atif knows what the meaning of that silence is and crying; she is determined to leave him again no matter what he does. But this time Atif doesn''t want to let her go again. So he decided to use all the power and authority that he has because it seems that Haya won''t listen to his plea. This time she speaks to Haya with authority and threat. ¡°Look. Stop making drama. We are in a public ce. Let''s get into business. It is clear on the agreement that is signed by your father that you will marry me in exchange of the funds that he got to save hispany. And if he didn''t fulfill what is asked on the agreement hispany will be taken by H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. and this will be given to the other business partner to manage. In short, the ownership with his ownpany will be terminated. That means he will totally lost hispany. And I know your father can¡¯t afford losing hispany. I just sticking to what is written on the agreement and to the policy. It is a must that the owners of thepanies under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. are only rtives and close friends of my grandfather Haris who all belong from upper ss society; they only wanted business partners orpany owners that are also from the society where they belong. They don''t want to ept anyone who is not rted to any one of them like your father to belong to H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. They suggest that if he wants to belong in H & A Summit Holdings, Inc., any of his son or daughter will marry anyone who belongs to H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. Hope it is clear to you now that you have to marry me and perform your duty here as my wife. It means that you are not allowed to go anywhere. ¡°Atif exined. Haya didn''t say anything. So Atif asked her this question; "Haya do you understand?" Atif asked with a frown in his face. But Haya just remains silent. ¡°Answer me!" Atif said in a voice full of authority. Haya raises her eyes to look into Atif''s face; then she answers him. ¡°Fine! I will marry you by then just to save my father''spany." Haya said. ¡°Good. It''ste at night, I''ll drive you home now. Monday H&A Perfume Company Thepany was officially open. Atif got so busy supervising thepany while Haya started working on the production area. When Haya shift ends Atif fetches her. He promised to drive her home. Haya sees that Atif seems so tired. They both feel tired so none of them talk while on the road. When they reached Haya''s unit Atif immediately set the food that he bought on the table. Then without talking to each other they eat dinner. After eating dinner Haya expecting that Atif will go home but she hear Atif said; ¡°I will sleep here tonight." Atif said. ¡°Fine!" Haya answered with a frown in her face. When their eyes met Haya raised her eyebrow while Atif just showed his sweetest smile. Days went on and on. Their daily routine became like that. Atif will fetch Haya after work and drive her home. Then he sleeps in Haya''s apartment from time to time. During the weekend they go out for a date. Atif''s birthdayes.
