Anu And Her First Love Chapter 16

"You're safe here, sir." A voice came from the passenger seat in front of us.

I didn't know what he was referring to and then I saw a crowd of people standing with cameras and
mics. Then I linked those with what he'd told me before landing. Thank god, we didn't even enter into
the public way, we just took another way that was only for people like him, I guess.

Celebrity?

First of all, I thought anybody can rent a private jet to impress their bride, second, it was cheap, third,
and he was like any other man. All of my guessings were wrong the whole time! He didn't rent a private
jet, it wasn't cheap even to rent, and he wasn't like any other men, I say if I wasn't wrong.

Suddenly I remembered Jo, saying this word, "CEO" the other day while I was passing by the kitchen.
And when she saw me they pretended like doing dishes and Jo studying.

Finally, I came to thought he must be a "CEO" of some industries or something like that. But still, this
was just guessing. I couldn't say correctly.

When I saw the huge mansion in front of me I was shocked and confused and got an answer. He
should be a "CEO" otherwise there would be no way you'd buy a mansion like this. It was more than
ten times bigger than our house. There was a front yard with the grass ground that felt welcoming. The
mansion looks a bit old but traditional and elegant.

We walked in as one of his workers held the door for us. It was all new for me.

Once we were inside the house he left me in the middle of that great living room and he was gone, pfft.
I don't know what to do so I just stand there and took in the view of that elegant room. The living area
was very big and comfortable. There sat a traditional maroon sofa with floral designs on the cushions.
And when I looked at the walls there were, no family photos not even a single portrait.



And I started wondering, why's that?

The house was in pin-drop silence except for my footsteps.

I felt something tickling my leg. I jerked at first thinking what if that might be a snake or something. But
it wasn't a snake or anaconda. It was just a puppy after all.

I knelt and scooped him into my arms.

"Huff-huff," he barked as if he was agreeing to something.

"Hey! Handsome, how are you?" I asked him as hugging him with my face.

"It's beautiful." I turned around to found a kid starring at me with a wide mouth showing his tooth.

"Hi! I didn't see you there."

"Well... nobody can. Can't you see I'm a kid?" He giggled as closing his mouth with both hands.

"You're funny. What's your name?" I asked a try to get to know him more apart from a kid.

"Adam," he held out his hands as I took it. He must be a Five or something old kid but he was formal.
"Adam Smith, Son of Steve Smith and nephew of Rahul and Venkat Smith. And I'm five years old. May
I know who you are miss_?" that explains everything where he got that formal gestures.

"Anushiya. Mrs. Arjun Smith, actually," When I finished that I scrutinized the room as if anybody was
spying me. "It's nice meeting you, young Smith." We shook hands.

"How come you not know that it wasn't he?" he asked pointing at the puppy in my hand.

"I thought it might be a boy. See how handsome_" I corrected myself. "Beautiful she is!"



He giggled as his voice echoed in that room.

"He didn't tell us that he was getting married. Not even invited us. Do you know why? Did you elope
with him because your mother didn't like him?" he was going and going on with his assumption and I
was shocked and listening that how a five-year-old kid can be so intelligent.

I also started wondering that what that kid was saying was all fact. I didn't see his relations only my
side of relations was there. At first, I thought that they couldn't make it but after hearing that kid says
that they weren't invited in the first place. That was suspicious.

"Enough, Adam, let her take a rest first." A voice from the stairs makes the kid stop and pout his face. I
tilted my head up and saw Arjun was standing bare-chested as drying his hair with a towel.

"Sorry, _" He forgot my name, I guessed. Or maybe even he was wondering how he should call me.

"Anu's okay." He smiled and that makes me smile.

When I tilted my head again to see Arjun, he was gone nobody was there on the stairs.

"I'll be showing you a home tour." with a smile Adam took my hand and started dragging me.

After, fifteen minutes of the home tour, we stopped at the end of the hallway in front of a closed room.
Every room he'd shown were different and unique on their way. "What about this room?" when I
realized, he wasn't going to open that room.

"Oh! That's uncle Arjun's secret room. He'd never let anyone inside of this. No, not even the maids to
clean this room. He cleans all by himself on weekends and spends most of the time on weekend
mornings. I'd been asking him to show me. And he'd been refusing to show."

"Huff-huff" puppy in my hand barked as if he was putting attendance that he was also present.



I wonder what was suppose to be sitting in that room. And what secret he was hiding from his whole
family.

I couldn't sleep. There must be two reasons, why? The time zone was different it was night over here in
the US but morning in India that might be number one. And the second one was I was sleeping on the
couch when Arjun was sleeping in his bed.

When I went to the toilet that midnight, I was shocked, what I'd just seen there. No water spray, but
toilet paper. Who needs toilet paper? I was about to cry when I start thinking about my life. My life
wasn't even let me pee on my comfort. What an f**king life?

As usual, when I felt uncomfortable or nervous, I took my phone out and start scrolling the news feed
and that's what I was doing when I heard our door knocked. I wondered who might be knocking on the
door at this time. I glanced up at the time. It was 1 am.

Adam.

I saw Adam standing wearing his pink PJ's, hands crossed and his eyes were blinking lazily. "Anu, I
was getting nightmares and can't sleep. Will you sleep with me?" he asked pouting his lips.

I glanced at Arjun who was fast asleep and glanced back at Adam. I took my phone from the table
where I kept it after hearing the knocking. I closed the door behind us with no noise. "Lead the
way."
