The Billionaire's Past

CHAPTER 36

2:00 am, In Asia

On the other hand Aliyah is sleeping soundly but wakes up suddenly because of a bad dream.

She is panting because of the scenes that she saw in her dream.

She reached the bottle of mineral water which is on the table beside her bed to drink.

Her phone is also on the top of the table.

She saw on her phone that she received some message from Almir.

Aliyah without a second thought type this message and send it to Almir-(Atif);

"Thanks for your kindness but I'm not interested in communicating with you anymore. Goodbye." Aliyah

replied.

But why did Aliyah do that this time?

Because of what Aliyah saw in her dream she thinks that she doesn't need that job anymore.

These are the scenes that Aliyah saw in her dream.

Year 2005….

She was on a luxurious passenger cruise ship.

She was eating dinner together with her father and stepmother.

They are in one of the finest restaurants inside that large cruise ship.

It was her birthday.

Her father and stepmother decided to treat her with a sumptuous meal.

They were eating happily when they heard a loud explosion nearby.

Suddenly all the lights turned off.

They couldn't see each other for a few minutes until there were flashes of lights coming from

emergency lights and flashlights.

They heard commotions.

Passengers inside the cruise ship are in panic.

There was a faulty electrical wiring on the ship that caused that loud explosion.

It caused a huge damage on the ship and caused total loss of electricity. The ship was stranded in the

middle of the ocean. She heard that the ship was about to sink.

The passengers grew more anxious.

The crew on the ship call for a rescue.

The rescue team immediately arrived and started saving the passenger from the sinking ship.

But the next incident was not expected.

There were a series of loud explosions that happened again. It caused a big hole on the side of the

ship.

Then big waves splash on the ship and the seawater starts to enter on the ship hole.

Her father was holding her stepmother who didn't know how to swim.

While she cling on to his father's arms tightly because of fear.

The half of the ship was set on fire while the other side was filled with water and slowly sinking.

There was no choice but to jump into the water just to reach the lifeboat down there.

The three of them jumped into the water to reach the lifeboat where the other passenger climbed to

transfer in another ship which will rescue them.

But before they reached the lifeboat a big wave was splashing that made her lose her grip from her

father’s arms.

The big waves carried her far from his father and stepmother.

She heard his father's voice full of fear calling her name.

Then everything went black.

Her father tried to save her but he failed.

She got carried away by big waves out of nowhere.

She didn't know how many days or nights she was floating into the water.

Then when she woke up she was in a small house surrounded by poor people.

She doesn't remember who she is, even her name.

Then Aliyah wakes from her dream when she was disturbed by lightning and thunder.

Then suddenly she heard the rain drops are falling on the roof.

When Aliyah wakes up from her dream she remembers who she really is.

"My real name is Haya. I am Haya." Aliyah mumble.

Now she knew where she came from.

"But how can I go back to my father?" Aliyah asked herself.

Thinking of his father, Aliyah shiver.

"How about my father? What happened to him? I need to know." Aliyah said talking to herself.

Then Aliyah thinks for a possible person who can help her go back to her own country.

Aliyah had no plan to tell Elsa and to Elsa's family that she regained her memory.

Aliyah still wants to belong here because she knew that this old lady considered her as a real

granddaughter even though she is not related to her.

And when Aliyah go back to her own country she will just make an excuse that she will just work there.

Aliyah just wants to go back to Bosnia just to know what happened to his father but she will go back

here to Elsa's country. Here in Elsa's house she felt that she is important, never rejected or never

abandoned.

Aliyah doesn't want to lose them as a family.

Then Aliyah started to search on social media the possible name of a person that can help her.

Suddenly, Aliyah remembered Atif. She wants to check the profile of Atif so she unblocked him.

Aliyah carefully checks Atif's profile and searches on internet Atif 'whereabouts. She is correct, Atif is

her friend- that little boy in her dreams every night.

She will ask for help to Atif so that she will know what happened to her father after the ship has sunk.

Aliyah knew that Atif would help her.

She knew that Atif would not refuse to help her.

Aliyah decided to send a message to Atif.

“Hi. How are you?" Aliyah sent the message.

Atif is busy reading business proposals when he receives the message.

Atif was so surprised when he saw that Aliyah unblocked him in her old account.

Atif feels so happy.

He decided to reply first even though it means that he will be distracted from what he is doing right now.

"I'm fine. How about you? Atif replied.

Aliyah sent her old photo to Atif.

Her photo when she was just a teenager.

The photo is not taken in Bosnia but here in Asia. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

But Aliyah hopes that Atif will remember her as Haya.

Atif nearly dropped his phone on the floor when he viewed the photo that Aliyah was sent.

As if he saw a ghost.

"Haya?!” Atif's mind shouted.

Atif eyes widen he can't believe what he is seeing right now.

"Aliyah really looks like Haya." Atif thought.

Atif never thought that Aliyah is Haya. He just thought that they just look alike.

"But why is she sending me with her old photo.” Atif wonder.

Atif will type a message to ask Aliyah about this but before he can type a message he received another

message from Aliyah.

"Do you still remember me?" Aliyah asked.

"Of course." Atif said.

Aliyah is so glad when she receives the message of Atif.

She thinks that Atif remembers her as Haya.

But Aliyah is wrong.

Because Atif never thought that she was Haya.
