The Billionaire's Past

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. The lady 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't come back here anymore." Haya

said.

“But I agree right? So I am allowed to come here anytime I want." Atif said.

Haya didn't answer, instead she just raised her eyebrows and frowned.

Atif just laughs 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 succeeds in

annoying him but he shows great patience towards her. So Haya gave up. She knew that she couldn't

stop Atif from coming 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 their communication. 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 Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

him again.

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 accepted 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 snowflakes 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 flakes.
