Suchana's Point of View

"Hey are you coming or not?" Clara asked me; annoyance was filled in her voice.

"Yeah yeah coming. Just give me 5 mins more." I bagged her with my puppy face.

"Offo! Okay fine. But come fast. I am waiting in downstairs." Clara left the room, shaking her head hopelessly.

"Yeah sure." I smiled, pouting my lips.

Today was the day, when we had started our cafe. Coincidentally, it was also the day, when I was born. Today was my birthday. Just like every year Clara had planned a beautiful dinner at my favourite place. I and Clara, only two of us were going to celebrate my birthday. I had been managing our cafe. It was the best gift, that my life had ever given to me. Throughout our hardships, we had grown this business for these years, patiently.

I left the room after switching off the lights. The sunshine was coming from the window; white curtains were shining under the rays.

Clara was at the reception area of the cafe. Seeing me coming from the staircase, she greeted me with a smile. I returned the same, while going to the my work place, kitchen. I mainly brewed various kind of coffees and Clara looked after account section.

°°°°°°°°°

It was afternoon 3 o'clock. We were still on our cafe. I was working in kitchen, preparing some snacks for the castomers. We had only two employees working here till now. After gaining more recognition and business expansion, we could hire more people. Nevertheless to say, I would be always in this coffee proceeding.

It's my passion afterall...

The bell of our entrance door rang. With a heavy footstep sound, a person came inside. Our kitchen was behind the walls, hidden from the front side. Therefore, I couldn't able to see anyone from here. Out of the blue, I felt something strange in my heart, something familiar yet weird.

What is it?

"Is it 'Sunshine Cafe'?" A familiar male voice asked in our reception.

"Yes Sir. What do you like to take, Sir?" Clara asks him.

"I want just an americano." He responded with a hard yet tired voice.

"Okay Sir. Any snacks would you like to take?" Clara asked again.

"No. I'm fine." He replied with same exhaustion.

Meanwhile, I got his order from Clara through computer. It was Clara's idea to put this technology in our cafe. It was modern and helpful.

However, I felt something bad in my stomach. It was twitching and turning, since I heard the voice. Minding my own business, I was preparing the order. Other to staffs were busy in their snack making and other orders presenting. Hence, I prepared the coffee and went for serving it near the table. Still then I really felt odd and frightening.

Why does the male voice sound so familiar to me?

I headed towards the table; The person was sitting on the table facing his back towards me. I reached near him and crossed his side.

"Sir, this is your coffee." Saying it, I looked up to see his face.

And that was the greatest mistake, I had ever made.

Fair face, muscular sharp jaw line, brown eyes, bangs were falling on his forehead from his straight black hair; a clear hint of dark circles on his face was visible. The person, whom I left 5 years ago, was sitting in front of me.

I couldn't able to utter a single word from my mouth. I was beyond shocked, dumbstruck, most importantly very much scared. It was not only for him, but also, I couldn't hold my old feelings before him.

Why is he here? How could he find me? I had left no evidence back then. So, how?

"Suchana.." He whispered, slightly smiling; standing up from his seat, he started coming near me.

I stepped back from my position; turned my body towards the exit door, without wasting any moment and started running with whole body strength, unknowingly. Tears began to fall from my eyes, making my vision blurry. I was shivering in pain and anger, confusion and disgust.

"SUCHANA!" He shouted his lung out.

But I didn't stop; kept running; didn't know where to go. I was just running away from him, from my past, from my reality.

Why is he here, after 5 years? Does he want to show me his and Rani's marriage album? What does he want now? I left him for his love, sacrificing my love, changed my life, bear every insult from him, for him; came here far away from him; never disturbed them and their love! Then why is he here now, to show me his money?

I kept running, until I came at my favourite place, same sea beach. He was not coming behind me. I sat on the wet sands of the beach, looking at the sea and the Sun.

"Why? WHY DID YOU COME BACK INTO MY LIFE AGAIN?" I started sobbing, tears were not stopping from my eyes.

"WHY GOD? WHY?" I banged my hands hard on the wet sands.

"Why did you come again, Vikas? What did I do to you? I left you for your love and you again came here. Why? What was my crime? I never came between your love. I was just a mediator of Rani and you. Then why? Please leave me and let me live my life peacefully." I felt tired for sudden outburst.

The Sun was on it's horizon, spreading it's last rays on the earth; whole sky was coloured in red and yellow. Whereas, I was sitting on the beach with my tear dried face, gloomy and colourless. My hair was all over my forehead and chin. Unlike the nature, I was surrounded with darkness and fear.

°°°°°°°°°

Walking on the quite empty streets, I was heading towards our home. The sky was getting darker; night was falling. The stars were twinkling, like diamonds in the dark grey sky.

After awhile, almost half an hour later, I reached in front of our house. A black B.M.W. was standing beside the house entrance gate. Mellow yellow lights were coming from the drawing room.

He has come, as I assumed.

I entered the house, coming inside the drawing room. Clara and Vikas were facing each other, talking something random. However, tension was written all over on their faces. Clara turned her face sensing my presence; her expression changed immediately after seeing me.

"Where were you all the day? Damn it! I was worried like hell. Why did you leave the Cafe, out of the blue?" Almost yelling, she came to me.

Hearing her yell, he lifted his face with a jolt; his eyes were eying me with worry, and tension. Standing up from his seat, he was waiting for his turn to start conversation. Meanwhile, my eyes were fixed on him. I didn't say any word to Clara. My attention was on him fully.

"Suchana, why are you so silent? Tell me where you have been? What is this mess in your face and dress?" She shook my shoulders, inspecting me.

After not getting her answers, she noticed my eye's direction and followed it.

"Oh! He is Vikas Roy Choudhury, multi billionaire businessman of India, you must have heard about him in news. He...."

"Why are you here, Mr. Roy Choudhury? Has anything else left to say?" I cut her in midday, asking him directly.

Clara was dumbfounded, shocked, hearing my cold response. I usually didn't reply in this manner to anyone.

"Suchana, I just came here to meet you. Nothing...."

"Why? What have I done now? Oh wait! Are you here to insult me again, talking shits about my standards?" I cut him in between, shooting my anger on him.

"No...I.."

"Listen Mr. Roy Choudhury, I did not take anything from your precious money. I left every stuff at your home. Actually, I never used anything from your money. So stop insulting me by calling me a gold digger!" I raised my voice in frustration.

"Oh God! Is he your..?" Clara murmured glancing me and him.

"Just listen to me one time." He began to plead.

That's what I have assumed.

"Just get out from my house." I pointed my index finger towards the exit door.

"Please just one.."

"GET OUT NOW!" I shouted on top of my lungs.

After letting out a sigh, he left the home with slow steps. I stormed out from there and entered my room without looking behind. I closed the door as soon as I reached with a bang. Sitting beside door, I started bowling my eyes.

You might have forgotten everything, that you did to me. But I didn't, Vikas. You have insulted me every time. I still helped you as a friend. Not anymore! Now I will never let you hurt me. NEVER! You are a torn page that I have no intention to put again!

I looked at the window. The night sky was beautiful. Unlike my stormy mind, it was calm, soothing.

Today is the worst birthday of my life..
