Ti Amo Restaurant,With some uncertainty, Ira entered the restaurant. She would be seeing her university colleagues after many years.
Ira was a bit scared of facing everyone. However, she came to the Reunion to build a friends.h.i.+p with Reeya. Ira wished to save the poor girl from her fate, so when she called to invite her, she could not refuse.
Now that she was actually here she was a bit hesitant to enter the compartment they booked the event in.
It was the most famous Italian restaurant with beautiful murals on the walls, cobblestone flooring and beautiful lighting which created a vibrant and scenic atmosphere.
Keeping her uneasiness down, as the staff opened the door, she walked into the private dining room in small but confident steps.
There was a long dinner table connected to two round tables in the room. Placed on it were a lot of delicacies, from Lamb, Angus Meats, Steaks & Chops, to many Kinds of pasta, Chicken and Seafood dishes. And cakes, pastries, cookies as well.
Everyone was already seated. It was an alumni reunion. There were a lot of people her seniors, her juniors. Ira recognized a few faces, but their names were still hard to remember.
It was more than seven years she last heard of them. However, in reality for her, it was nearly a couple of decades.
Putting on her indifferent face was the only option, as she walked inside ignoring the eyes on her.
Even though she knew no one. Everyone knew Ira.
A Top student and a peerless Beauty. Unrivaled when it came to her rank as well as her beauty she always stood apart like a queen among the commoners among them.
Boys secretly liked her, but no one dared to confess to the tyrant. Let alone acknowledge no one had enough nerve to talk to her.
Girls hated her for she was pretty and a loner, which came across as rude. With her calm and cold demeanor, she had no friends or acquaintance.
Her appearance in the meeting came across as a huge shock to everyone present. While these meetings were organized every year, It was the first time they saw her attending one.
Initially, they tried to invite her, but she didn"t even reply to the invitation. After a couple years they also stopped sending her the invitation.
She wore a floor-length wine colored lace gown with full sleeves. Wearing just a diamond pendant and light makeup, she looked spectacular.
But what was more shocking was that she had a b.u.mp.
Ira obviously felt their burning gaze on her stomach, but she acted calm and expressionless.
It was unforeseen by anyone to see Ira in such a state. Her entry shook up the hall, and All present were discussing her.
"Did she get fat?" a woman said.
"What do you know! It is a pregnant belly." other explained.
"What?"
"G.o.d! She got pregnant."
"I thought she would never be married let alone have a baby."
"And You are still single."
"I need to meet the man who subdued the queen."
Hearing the a.n.a.lysis by these women a man announced to others: "She is married and pregnant !!!"
"I never ever dreamed of seeing her again." Even after knowing she was married their gazes of admiration didn"t change.
"Look, She smiled."
"Is this real?"
"Ahhh,! It"s so beautiful. I saw Ice cold Ira smiling!"
