305 THE SURPRISING GUESTS (1/2)

Next day Arjun casually sat on a sofa. He was enjoying the tea for mental relaxation. At that time his senses told him that a girl was standing near the door outside his room. That girl was hesitating to knock the door to Arjun's room.

It was Ringo!

Arjun sighed and said, ” How long are you going to stand out there? Just come in.”

Ringo startled for a moment. But she dared and entered the room. After entering the room she just stood there by lowering her head. There was tense and very complex expression on her face. She stood there silently without uttering a word.

Arjun took another sip of his tea and said, ” Sit.”

Ringo sat down after a moment of hesitation. She just lowered her head down. She didn't know how to start the conversation.

Arjun put down the tea cup on the table. He then said gently, ” I heard what happened from grandfather. I am sorry for your loss.”

”It's alright!” , Ringo said, ” I have been living without parents since my childhood. There death really a blow for me. But I can still handle it. I mean I got used to it.”

”That's good to hear.” , Arjun said, ” So why are you in my room?”

Ringo went silent once again. Because of her stupidity, both Aeron and Kiera died. Even though she was feeling guilty, she knew that neither Kiera nor Aeron were going to come back from death. She wanted to ask Arjun to forget everything and let things go as it was in the past. But the one who died is actually Aeron. And she is well aware of what kind of relationship both Arjun and Aeron has. So she was hesitating.

After gathering some courage she said, ” About big brother Aeron....”

”Forgot it!” , Arjun said, ” I can understand that you have been manipulated by the Assassins Organisation. They manipulated you to get me. And I learned from big sis that when your friends were beating big brother while kidnapping him, you stopped them and took big brother with respect. I know that you have no ill intentions towards any of them back then. So I forgot the grudge between us a long time ago.”

Ringo's eyes brightened immediately. She had a hope that the things are going in the right direction.

But Arjun said, ” Don't raise your hopes. Love and power are two different things for me. I only love those people who trusts me. You never trusted me. What you had towards me was nothing but attraction. Even though that video recordings was looking genuine, you should have some faith in me. If you didn't have trust and faith in me, I never consider that you have ever loved me.”

Ringo's bright eyes immediately dimmed down. She knew what Arjun is trying to say.

Arjun continued, ” The things between us is no longer what you think anymore. We will be friends. But love..., not anymore.”

Arjun continued to drink his tea without bothering about Ringo's feelings anymore.

At that time Alwyn came in hurriedly. He came in and said, ” Boss! We got a terrible news.”

”What is it?” , Arjun asked while sipping his tea.

Alwyn said, ” The Scrooge Empire has joined forces with the Loren Empire and is attacking our empire.”

Arjun didn't stop his tea. After taking another sip he asked, ” Where is Rick?”

”I don't know.” , Alwyn replied after shaking his head, ” I looked for him everywhere. But he is nowhere to be found.”

”Relax.” , Arjun said, ” I sent him on a secret mission. He will be back very soon.”

Gnan entered and asked, ” Why didn't you tell me about you sending Rick on a secret mission?”
