The Billionaire's Past

CHAPTER 18

6:00 pm Monday, in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Atif is walking up on the footbridge.

The footbridge which part of his past.

The footbridge where he used to shelter himself at night when he was a little boy.

During the time when he don’t know that his father is a billionaire.

The place where he met Haya.

He always visit this place secretly.

Secretly because his grandfather Haris won’t allow him to go to this place anymore.

But Atif cannot stop himself visiting this place.

In this place he still feel that Haya is alive.

He still hoping that up there on the footbridge,

When he look down on the street, he will see Haya.

He still hope that one day,

He will see Haya walking down towards the fast food.

The fast food where he used to wait her in the past.

But the reality always slap him at the face that Haya is already gone.

And he will not see her no matter how long he stay in this place.

Atif is in disguise this time.

He is wearing a dark black jacket.

The collar of his jacket almost cover half of his face.

He don’t want anybody who knew him will recognize him.

He is afraid that if someone will recognize him in this place they will tell his grandfather about this.

And for sure his grandfather Haris will get very angry at him.

And if that thing will happen that Haris will know about what Atif is doing he will hired a body guard.

A body guard that will follow Atif wherever he will go.

Atif don’t want that situation to happen.

He don’t need a body guard.

He believe he can protect himself in any danger.

As he walk up to the footbridge he is holding his phone.

He is calling his friend Lamin.

But Lamin didn’t answer his call.

Lamin is one of his close friend.

He is calling Lamin to check whether Lamin will sign a contract to their company.

Lamin own a distributing company.

And most of the raw materials needed in the new business of Atif grandfather can be found in Lamin’s

company.

Atif dial the number of Lamin again.

Then put the phone on his ears to hear if it’s ringing. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

He is walking now on the floor of the footbridge.

Atif is not looking on where he is walking.

He bump to a lady who is also walking on the footbridge.

“Watch where you going?!” the lady said to Atif in an angry voice.

Atif look on to the lady to apologize.

Atif got surprised.

He is shocked.

He can’t move or say a word for a seconds.

The lady is wearing the same style of clothes that Haya used to wear.

The only difference is Haya’s clothes are always new and branded.

While the lady who is standing in front of Atif is wearing worn out clothes.

“Haya?” Atif said when he compose himself from shock.

“My name is Hana not Haya.” Said the lady with a frown on her face.

“Oh sorry! I just thought I know you.” Atif apologize.

The lady shook her head.

Then lady walk down the stair of the footbridge.

Leaving Atif on the footbridge.

As the lady walk away, Atif get near to the footbridge railing.

He look down to see where the lady is going.

He want to see the lady walking down the street.

He imagined that Haya is the one walking down the street.

Atif watch her until the lady is too far away.

Then the lady was out of his sight.

Atif decided to dial once again the number of Lamin.

But Lamin still didn’t answer.

Atif decided to go back to his car.

He will just visit Lamin in their house.

He wants to confirm if Lamin is still interested in signing the contract.
