4. Dream

Anna entered her office followed by Lyra, who just send the people back to the work came with stern face wishing an answer from Anna for the scene she just created. Even though it is a hard topic for her, she had to maintain her emotions, especially when those employees where not to be blamed for the conversation

“What was the need for you to speak like that to them? I know Ethan's topic makes you uncomfortable, but they do not know about it. They were just gossiping.” Lyra asked with frustration and concern in her eyes.

“Love story what a lie.” Anna mocked thinking about the previous conversation.

“You wait for me don’t you do anything stupid; I will just deal with girls; they must be waiting for me. And we will have conversation about it later.” Lyra warned and left the room leaving Anna alone.

Anna looked at her desk to find the hot chocolate the lyra was carrying with her to give it to anna. Anna smiled at the door; she knew even though lyra was angry, she would never forget to take care of her.

‘Thank You for everything.’ Anna whispered looking at the door. And took a large gulp of the drink. She felt her nerves calming down and she rested her head down the table. She felt herself falling into a deep slumber but she did not stop because she knew she needed it.

…...

The city was as usual busy like the other days. The coffee shop next to the one the famous malls was famous for its variety of tea and many rich people came there for relaxing because on one side it had a beautiful lake view on the other side it held a nice view of the busy city.

On the corner of the room a girl was waiting for someone. She was enjoying the melody so much that she did not realize the eyes that were staring at her. Those who passed by admired looking at her but she was not bordered by the noise, she was busy admiring the busy city, the people, and their lives.

Her thoughts were disturbed by a small knock on the table. Looking up she found a lady around, almost 30yrs old, smiling at her waiting to take her orders. when she was enjoying herself, she forgot to order anything.

“Hello what can I help you with?” The lady asked with a bright smile.

“I would like a cold coffee, mint water, macaroons, and chocolate cake please.” The girl answered back with a bright smile.

**“Right away\, it will be ready in 10 minutes” **

As the girl back with the order, the door opened causing her to look up. A smile grew on her face when she saw her boyfriend standing there.

“I made the order for us, so why did you call me?” The girl asked as she moved the mint water and chocolate cake to his side staring at him to get an answer for her question.

“Why can’t I call you to meet up with me, are you not my girlfriend? If only your father allowed us to live together then we would not have to meet like this.” He mocked her father as he spoke.

“You can't talk like that okay; he is my father and you know he is saying that for a reason. More than that don’t your family value reputation a lot.” She asked with the same tone that he used on her family.

“Fine, fine you win your dad has a reason for everything.” He exclaimed not wanting to take the conversation further as he wanted to calm her down. He knew that once she gets angry there would be no turning back. He took a piece of the cake and placed in near her mouth indicating her to open her mouth.

There was silence for at least 20 minutes between in which they completely eat what they ordered. Soon the lady who toke the order came back to clean the table and give the bill, the boy winked at her and tried flirting but failed when the lady turned around smiled at the girl and walked away.

Though the girl knew that her boyfriend was flirty type as they were friends before dating, she wished he would restrain himself and not do anything like that in public.

“So, you haven't told yet why u called?” She asked as she wiped her mouth was tissues, anyone present there could tell the she can from a decent family.

“I wanted to tell you this for a long time, but your exams came in middle so I thought of telling you later. Look at this!” He told as he passed her a file. She took the file and started reading, soon a frown appeared near her eyebrows.

“You are going to military training?” She asked with confusion, why would he go on a military training when he was supposed to take over his family's business??

“You know I wanted to become police, right? but my dad forced me to take over the company, so I had to take business major in my collage. Finally, two weeks ago my dad and I came to conclusion, that if I get to go to military practice for 3 years, I won't pester him about it anymore." He answered as if he did not even care about what will happen to their relationship.

There was silence, she was hurt that he could not see sadness in her eyes when he said he was going away. Taking a deep breath, she turned to ask him when he was going but everything started getting blurry and she started to get dizzy.

**‘ANASTASIA\, ANASTASIA WAKE UP\, WAKE UP’  **

She heard voices which caused her to jolt up on her seat breathing heavily. She looked around and realized she was dreaming.
