CHAPTER 1(MEETING)
Mia's Point of View
I was walking, tired, couldn't figure where to go. "Am I that bad for someone to love? How could he could this to me?" I sobbed and reached my healing spot. A river-side place to view the beautiful sunset. "At least the sun has waited for me to set" I said looking at the sun. I sat on the grass and waited for it to set. I noted the time; it was like one of my favorite hobbies, "5:20 p.m."
The sun set and I was still gazing towards the sky thinking about the pain he gave me. The pain when he said "You are no one in my life. I don't deserve you", I started to sob again. I stood up and started to leave. I tried to place a fake smile onto my face because I don't want my parents to worry. I was walking and still thinking of the time. Suddenly, it thundered and starts to rain. I was completely drenched until I found a shelter.
I looked towards the sky, it was raining heavily, "Is it even time a time to rain? Already I am heartbroken and want to go home to have peace and now this. I didn't even bring an umbrella and even hungry and it is raining. Huh! Seriously!" I was chattering non-stop and I didn't even realized how tears started to fall, it couldn't hold anymore.
I sat there and hug my knees. The rain didn't feel cinematic at all. The weather became cold as my top has soaked all the water droplets. I again started thinking about Dave's (my ex's) words; I knew I'd never able to forget it. I know the hope for my love is waiting for me to say 'it's over' and it's really over. My vision was blurred by the tears, rain and mascara, all I know was to cry and wait for the rain to stop. There was no one there only me, the rain and my leftover pain. I braced my knees tightly to shout, but instead a pair of steady hands caught on my shoulders and a voice I didn't even recognize said, "Hey! It's okay. Just breathe". I looked up and saw a handsome face. I got up shocked; I thought he was a kidnapper trying to take me with him.
CHAPTER 2(CONVERSATION)
Someone's Point of View
I noticed her, she was sitting there alone. I got out from my car and forward towards her. I saw she was crying I just tried to confront her. She got scared and jumped when he saw me. She looked so funny while she got up frightened; she looked so cute when I looked at her for the first time. I have never seen someone so pretty while crying. Really, a God gifted talent.
"Hey! Relax, No need to be scared" I said.
" You must be a kidnapper, want to take me with you"
"If I am a kidnapper I would have already taken you, and moreover I am of your age why would I take you?"
"Okay, who are you and the reason for sudden appearance?"
"Oh sorry, I forgot to introduce you to myself. I am James, a student of Business Studies"
"I am Mia, same a student of Business Studies and as I asked you" she said keening her eyes and pointing her index finger toward me "What's the reason you are her? I couldn't trust you till now. Are you a stalker or a spy or what?" she looked confused by my sudden appearance.
I handed her my I-card and she looked at it."We are at the same University, but it's strange I haven't seen you" she said.
"Maybe you didn't want to. Btw I stopped here after I have seen a girl alone here and even crying, isn't it a reason?" I asked teasing her.
"Whatever. I just hate it you scared me."
I was continuously staring at her while she was speaking, I was right, she's so childish.
"Well, let's go"
"No, I can't trust you…you can leave"
"I can't leave a girl alone here and leave"
I saw her chuckled like she was in disbelief.
"Why? What's there with me?"
"Nothing. It's late and I can't leave you here in a quiet place"
"Maybe…"
"Tss! You know what stay her whole night because I don't think the rain will stop"
I was going to leave when I saw her pulling my shirt "Okay! I have no other options"
"Let's go"
"But I have one condition, you will drop me one alley before my house"
"Done"
Mia's Point of View
I got up into the car.
"Wear your seat belt, don't you know?"
"Ofc I know! I am not like you! Short term memory loss"
"Can you kindly tell me exactly what I have done? Maybe you love your disease so you want others to have it too"
I chuckled and I couldn't say anything.
"Whatever!"
I was facing problems to wear the seat belt "Tss" he said and leaned forward towards me and helped me. I looked up; our faces were so close to each other. I observed how handsome he is "If you kept staring at me I would have loved to looked into your eyes." I chuckled he went back to his seat and started driving.
CHAPTER 3(THANK YOU)
Mia's Point of View
"Here one alley before your house" he said.
It was still raining like God himself doesn't want me to reach home.
"Can you drop me at my entrance gate? Please" I requested.
"Didn't you want to…"
"Leave it" I cut him before completing his sentence "It's still raining".
"Fine"
He dropped me.
"Thank you!" I said and he left.
James Point of View
"You're Welcome, Bye!"
All the way I was just thinking of her smile while thanking me. How can someone hurt her? She's so kind, cute and pretty. She might talk a little harsh but she's really childish. Her smile is so bright. Even the most shocking thing she looks cute even while crying.
Wait, why am I thinking so much about her? C'mon James, don't let a stranger although she's in the same University but still she's a stranger let you distract. You will never meet her again.
[Phone Rings] "Hey! Bro where are you?
"On my way! Reaching home in few minutes."
Mia's Point of View
"Mom, where are you...Dad?"
"Why are you so late huh? Don't you know the time to enter?" My mom scolded me.
"It is raining heavily Mom. You can see I am totally drenched."
She cooled down and looked at e "Okay sweetie, we are only worried for you and we can't even get you, where's your phone?"
"It's dead" I smiled.
She gasped "When will you be matured? Well, go and change your clothes and have some food"
I entered my room,
"Hey Sista, What's up?" Susan asked. Susan is my elder sister.
"Nothing is good sissy" I replied.
"Did he hurt you?"
"He left me"
"Whatttttttt?" she shouted.
"Shh! Calm down. Do you want Mom and Dad to know about it?"
"What happened? Tell me clearly"
"He told me that I didn't deserve him, I am no one in his life"
"Fuck him. How could he do this? I fell like punching him right now"
"It's okay. I can handle. I think 'love' is not for me, it's for others. Other girls might be pretty that's why they get their loved ones I must be ugly" I burst out crying. She hugged me.
"No you are not ugly, you are super ugly just for me" she teased but it hurts more.
"Okay sorry. I was joking. Why to blame yourself for people hurting you? You are kind, there may be someone who would love you even if you are pretty or not it doesn't matter to him, whether the person is a friend or a stranger"
I smiled and I suddenly remembered about James I told her about him.
"Wow! Such a great story! Well that's enough for today, go change and have dinner. I will help you with your projects" she said and I hugged her and left.
CHAPTER 4(PROJECT)
Susan's Point of View
"Are you for real? You haven't even finished a single project out of the five. How will you complete it within one week? It's not that simple enough you know right?"
She scratched her head.
"I didn't have any clue so how could I …"
"Oh shut up! I have idea only for three, rest two you have to figure out"
She gasped as she did not have many friends and if then they are having different course. She is really now in trouble.
Mia's Point of View
"I have to find anyone at least for the two projects."
"Hey!"
"Oh! Hi James"
"Need any help?"
"Well yeah, I need help for my two projects"
"That's great I can help you, we are in the same course right?"
"Oh yeah I have forget about him" I whispered in my mind "Really? Then thanks"
He told me to come to the library so he could help me with my projects.
James Point of View
(On the way of library)
Even though I told her will she understand what I will tell her I am not a pro at it but I will try my best.
"Hey you are 10 minutes late" she said.
"Okay let's start or else we will ran out of time I have other works" I said
"Sure" she said.
(After 45 minutes)
"Wow, really, I should have just completed it on time these are hard! Ughh!" she said.
"That's why you are getting the punishment from God, for not completing it on time"
"Whatever!" she rolled her eyes.
"I can't do this" she said.
"Let me see"
I was solving the question when I saw her staring at me, no I am not wrong she is staring at me and not at the work.
"If you keep looking at me instead of the project then it's hard for me to focus on the work because you are an easy subject to focus"
Mia's Point of View
"W-What, No! I am not looking at you jerk."
I instantly looked away. What had happened to me? Why am I behaving this way? Ridiculous! But not going to lie he was looking so innocent and I don't know how but I blushed.
"Huh! Finally after two hours! It's over now just few things and it will be over. I will do the rest alone at my home. Thank you!"
"It's okay!"
I went out and I was about to call my sister to take me home.
"Shit! I forgot my phone there!"
I went inside and heard James and his friend conversation.
"Why are you helping that girl? She is no use of you. You are a topper you should focus on your own" his friend said.
"I know I am just keeping an eye on her so that I could know about her topics." He said.
I was stunned; behind this innocent smile was a demon who wants to use me. I realized tears rolling from my eyes. I left immediately "I will never talk to him again."
CHAPTER 5(MISUNDERSTANDING)
James Point of View
Huh! Finally he left he is so annoying if I haven't said that to him he won't leave. Whatever, I have nothing to do with her. I went outside and saw her standing I approached her and she ignored me.
"Hey! What happened? After you are done taking notes you started ignoring me you are so selfish.
"Oh really I am selfish or you just think too much of yourself."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't act over smart."
"Girls are really that selfish, oh my God didn't know if I haven't it met with you ."
"Like you have never used anyone...Listen you the one who betrayed. At first I respect you but now I hate you."
She left after saying this
What's wrong with her how could she do something like this even after this help she said I used her right I will never see her or helper again if she wants this then okay.
Mia's Point of View
"Am I really selfish, sister? Am I really that bad?"
"No you are not he was just putting his blame on you."
"I know."
"Well are you done with your projects?"
"Yep, he solved everything."
"This sounds nice; Okay let me help you with the rest."
After 3 hours
"Finally it's done, I got scared whether it would complete or not"
"Next time don't forget to complete on time okay."
"Yep! I promise." I was happy though I couldn't take the betrayal it was piercing to my heart.
I arrived at University next day and found him still talking to the guy before in the library.
"Wow! Still gossiping about me."
I sat down with my best friend in free period I told her everything about yesterday.
"You should stay away from him, once there was another boy like you before he really bullied him and he left the place."
I gulped, "He is really demon."
"Yep! you are right he never talks to anyone, only that boy is his father's friend so he have to talk to him but he has a cold personality like never talking to anyone but I doubt how is he so sweet towards you it might be he is using you for your notes but still it's very suspicious."
"Leave him let's change the topic."
"Yep! you are right" she gasped and said
"And I promise I would make him pay for whatever he did to me, game on!"
CHAPTER 6(FATE)
Mia's Point of View
"Students, please listen! Since all the students from business studies are present here I would like to announce that you are going to do group projects and the topic will be sent to you till tomorrow."
"Ma'am" a student spoke up "Are you going to give us partners or we would choose by ourselves?"
"Good question there are some students who are comfortable with their partners must choose by themselves but if anyone have no one to choose I would to choose for them."
I was shocked because I barely know anyone and Shaira, she is in different course without no partners I have to ask the teacher to give me a partner she looks everywhere and shouted "Those who didn't got partners stay here and rest leave."
I saw almost there are 20 students including me, James was also there.
Since it's difficult to choose partner let your fate chose.
We were stunned like did she want us to meditate and see the future?
"Everyone will write the names and let see who gets whom."
It started and everyone took a piece of paper.
"Whaaaatttttt?" I shouted.
"What happened?" the teacher asked scared like something had happened to me.
"Is my fate playing with me?"
"What happened, whom did you get?"she asked curiously.
"James."
Everyone was shocked because everyone knows how his character is, even, he had also got the paper of my name "Really, Ughhh!"
CHAPTER 7(FORCED)
James Point of View
"Wtf! Was it that I have to work with someone unclear? And even she didn't even know how to speak, selfish!"
I gasped and left.
I went to the teachers from to request her to change my partner.
"Madam, can you please change my partner, I can't do my project with that witch!"
"Oh really! I jumped and turned at my back she was standing behind me like "I am praying to god to have you as my partner."
"I think we are cause you at the first you have whispered something to teacher then she asked for all of us."
We started to fight.
"What's happening?" Teacher shouts.
"I get to understand, if you to work together the project would be a total chaos, let me talk to the Principal, let's see what we can do."
"I wish I get someone better."
"Same for me too." she said teasing me.
The teacher hung up and looked at us.
"I am sorry, but everyone is comfortable with their partners and only you two are only left so better do it properly."
We left in belief, like now we have to see each other's face everyday.
"Don't you dare…" I turned to speak when I found she had left.
Mia's Point of View
It's impossible I can't work with someone this selfish.
I was walking when a notification popped.
["Those who will not work properly with their partners will be failed"]
Like seriously, is this a joke?
"Fine, I will do it."
I went back to him and ask him where we will do the project.
"Any place you are comfortable with."
"My favourite cafe ?"
"Done, well we don't have any other choice."
CHAPTER 8(REVENGE)
Mia's Point of View
I am waiting here for 30 minutes, where is he till now, he is late like other days on that library he was late and now again he is late today he might have definitely forgot about today. I didn't even have his number to call what should I do. I was thinking when suddenly he spoke.
"Hey!"
"James, you are half an hour late…what do you think of yourself like you..."
"Okay, sorry let's go, aren't we late?"
We went inside and talked about the project.
After 1 hour of conversation we ordered a cup of coffee. I still hate him whenever I see him like the library scene hits my mind every time, I got furious and planned to take revenge but what to do? Suddenly, I thought of a mischievous plan, to spill coffee over him, the topics he had taken from me would be ruined.
"Ma'am here's your coffee" the waiter said.
"Thanks!"
I pretend to pass him the coffee and spilled in over his bag. He jumped and said.
"What did you do? These are my precious papers."
"So you did, those were my topics."
"Wait! Did you did this intentionally?"
"What do you think rather?"
"I was right you are selfish."
"So you are"
He went to the restroom and cleans his shirt and he threw his precious papers which were damaged.
"So, you started it first right? Remember I will end it" he said.
"Let's see."
"Game on!"
After few weeks with disgust we have finally completed our project, even we were rivals but the project was good we have got the highest in it but I was still afraid of one thing, what will be his plan to take revenge? But one thing, even though he got furious and said that he will take revenge his eyes well still looking at me softly, I can see he wasn't even mad at me but still he just told me, what does this indicate? This is a total mess. H e is furious still his eyes are soft I will surely get admitted to the hospital by all this chaos.
CHAPTER 9(BIRTHDAY)
Mia's Point of View
"Ughhhh! Life is a total mess first Dave show up messed with me and now him I thought he is good but turns out he is a demon I was chattering with myself and was heading home it was late and mom would again scold me because my phone is dead.
"Mom!"
"See, who's coming late."
"Sorry mom actually…"
"I know, no need to explain we just care about you."
"Thanks mom."
I changed and did my dinner, I went to bed quickly I was so tired that I could barely walk.
After few hours I woke up hearing a sound from the kitchen.
"What's that? Even Sissy is not at home how can I go alone?" I gasped "C'mon Mia you can do it."
I went outside and went straight to the kitchen and turned on the lights.
Boom!
"Happy Birthdayyyyyy Mia" my family wished me.
"Oh My God! What a surprise, Sissy you are here."
"Well, it's my sister's birthday I need to come."
They all have been decorating for 3 hours and preparing my birthday cake.
I was so happy to celebrated my birthday, we celebrated my birthday and again we are went to sleep.
Next day, my every friend wished me at University. James was absent and I sighed that now he wouldn't take any revenge on my special day at least. At night, after reaching home I took my phone I was shocked to find that at exactly 12 a.m sharp he had wished me "Happy Birthday rival, game on!" I was shocked how could he knew my birthday. I was right he has no plan to take any revenge cause if he want he could have embarrassed me on my special day but he didn't, still, I hate him.
CHAPTER 10(SURPRISE)
Mia's Point of View
My friends have invited me to my favourite cafe to celebrate my belated birthday. Like they don't get time to celebrate but at night. They might get the vibe of the party at night. I reach there and saw them standing there "Happy Birthday" they all wished me.
"Let's go" I said.
"Wait, one person still left." Shaira said.
"Who?"
"James."
I was stunned and was about to ask 'why him?' I saw him coming. He was wearing a black shirt with specs, messy hair and the silver watch, he was looking super attractive like I was melting over him. All of my anger over him, my all hate over him has just gone away in a second. I just looked at him and then I thought "Why do I feel like this?" I was talking to myself when I heard James say.
"Let's go." He smiled at me before entering the café. Our eyes met, there was a soft look in his eyes.
We all went inside and I saw them all prepared there was a cake and it was surrounded with presents the whole cafe was decorated with balloons.
After all the celebration I thanked them for the surprise and obviously to book my favourite café.
Shaira said "We could never know if James have doesn't told us about it, he told us about your favourite cafe and the whole decoration was done by him we were also invited by him but he told us to invite you in behalf of him."
I was surprised not only by the birthday surprise but also what Shaira said really James, you did this, you really care about me this much. Are you really this much kind person then why did to did this that day James?
CHAPTER 11(REALIZATION)
James Point of View
I remember her birthday when I saw it on your Instagram profile to make a birthday memorable she was looking so cute on that white dress, she wore on the day of celebration, she was looking so innocent her eyes filled with joy, how can someone be so rude? She ruined my notes but how was I so calm at the time? No one ever dared to do so, even she knows how I am but still she did it to me. Everyone knows how I am 'hot-headed' but whenever I am with her it feels like I am a cool person, a friendly, am I addicted to her or I am in love with her?I have observed that I can be changed person whenever I am with her, this is really a matter. There must be something inside me which I didn't even realize till now.
"Bro, caution!"
I turned the steering wheel.
"Phew! That was a great escape, what were you thinking bro?"
"Nothing! Just tired."
I lied, I don't want them to know what I feel, she was sweet back then but now she is rude, was there a misunderstanding between us? I need to know what she is hiding.
Mia's Point of View
I have never imagined that he would give me a birthday surprise. I feel bad since the day I have ruined his note, still he forget it and give me a surprise. How cruel I was to hurt him. I started crying. Well, I need to ask for apology, whatever he did he only planned to do it, but I ruined his precious notes I was like trying to be a hero. Huh! Whatever, I need to clear this.
Suddenly notification popped.
"Can we meet at the cafe tomorrow evening?" James text me.
What? No not tomorrow it will ruin my schedule to write the timing of the sunset and I will miss the view too.
I replied "No, not tomorrow any other day?"
"No I need tomorrow."
"Fine, then not cafe I will send you the address later you will wait there and I will take you there."
"Fine."
Okay whatever he tells me I would listen to it, I would also apologize and give him another copy of my notes, it was my mistake.
CHAPTER 12(APOLOGY)
Mia's Point of View
"And there we are."
"Where are we?"
"Can't you see?"
"Yeah, I can, but why here?"
"Because I want to know the time of the sunset, I might get late."
"Is it one of your hobbies?"
"Well! Yes, now ask whatever you want to ask."
James Point of View
I was scared to ask because she at first had spilled coffee, if again she gets mad she will definitely kick me into the river.
"Well, I want to ask that why did you spilled coffee over me at that day, why are you so mad at me?"
"Because, you broke my trust."
"Wait, what? I broke your trust, how?" I was in shock.
"In the library, I heard what you have said to your friend."
"Oh!" I laughed "that, it was just to confuse him or else he would continuously annoy me."
"How could I believe you?"
I took her hand and she was looking at me. "I can lie to everyone but not to you." I looked into her eyes "you are something I don't want to lose, I don't know what you are to me but I can't lie to you."
I saw her shocked.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean" I dropped her hands "you are a sweet girl and I don't want to lose a friend like you and moreover I am hot headed and I don't have any friend so since you are also hot headed, we are a good match."
"It's okay and I am sorry, here" she handed me some papers "these are my notes and I was too much that day I know and I am very sorry, please forgive me."
"It's okay, I know you didn't mean it whatever you did was your anger and I have forgiven you on that day I just need to clear this misunderstanding. I know you are such a kind person and your heart is made of gold."
CHAPTER 13(CLOSE)
Mia's Point of View
I smiled thinking how lucky I am to have such a friend but once the remember what Shaira told me about him that he is a cold person and don't talk to anyone even I have noticed that he didn't even talk to any others on the day of my birthday celebration rather than his one friend, his father's friend's son, then why is he so sweet to me?
"Then will you leave now?" I asked.
"No"
"Why?"
"I have one more question to ask."
"What now?"
"Why were you crying that day when we met?"
I was shocked because he remembered.
"Well I was betrayed."
"By whom?"
"My boyfriend he told that I am no one for him and he doesn't deserve me I have loved him with all my love but he said that he has more pretty girls than me in his life."
I can feel tears falling down from my eyes; He pulled me closer and hugged me.
"Cry, cry and take out all your grief" he said.
"I started crying, I have never cried this much after that incident all my pain was struck in my heart, he knew that I am in pain, he is healing me. I cried for almost fifteen minutes to twenty minutes, he was hugging me constantly for twenty minutes till I am out of all my grief; I was like getting all my lost love back through his embrace. After I am done crying he hold my cheeks and wiped my tears with his thumb.
"You are now free you have nothing to worry, your emotions have left you."
I smiled "thank…"
"No, no need to thank me I am already thankful that I got you in my life."
"What do you mean?"
You are a kind person I like the way you are. Everyone can think that others are more beautiful than you but they can't be cute like you. You are you, you are not only pretty but something even more special for me, you are a kind person.
He hugged me again and kissed my forehead "5:10 pm" he said. I looked at the sun, it was setting I noted down the time. I smiled because even he was busy in clearing all my grief, he didn't forgot to remind me of the time.
"Let's go we will be late."
We sat inside the car he leaned towards me his eyes say something different I know eyes don't lie and I even know it that his eyes doesn't lie, I was leaning towards him, we were close, so close that even if I try to lean forward more I would have collide with his lips. I know something is still secret in his eyes and it is much more than what he says.
CHAPTER 14(ANGER)
Mia's Point of View
I wave at James when I saw him, we have become too close in such a few days. I still remember how we use to be, first strangers, then enemies and now friends.
"What's up?"
"Oh! James, yes I am good what about you?"
"All good…ummmm!"
"You want to ask something? Ask"
"Can we go to the same place like that day?"
"Sure."
"Okay, same time same place." he said and I know he is excited.
I reached there. James was already waiting.
"So today you are late and I am on time." He said teasing me.
"Shut up! I am also on time, you came early."
"Let's go." He laughed and said.
We sat down. He was looking at the sun and I was staring at him. He was looking so hot under the sunlight.
"Are you here to note down my characteristics or the time?"
I quickly looked away. I blushed.
"Do you still love anyone?"
"Idk...maybe."
He gave me a side look. "Who is that?"
"Idk, I am afraid to love someone. I have always thought love as a poem but it turns out to be a bruise."
"It's not about bruise, it's about the right person."
"I know…still."
"Well, it's time 4:15p.m. it's quick today."
"Yes." We stood up.
"Okay, bye!"
"Shouldn't I drop you?" he asked, he should be every time whenever we are together he use to drop me.
"No thanks my one friend is going to come to pick me up."
"Oh! What's her name?"
"Not her, it's him, his name is Ethan."
I could see him breathing heavily and he left. I don't understand why he behaved like this suddenly. What actually he felt.
CHAPTER 15(JEALOUS)
James Point of View
"Damn it, who was that guy and why did he even come to pick her up? Like he knows everything about her." I was driving roughly with anger. "Wait, why am I angry? It's her choice." I tried to calm myself down but anger was running through all my blood and I decided to meet with her so I can ask her about that guy. I text her to meet me at the library tomorrow.
Mia's Point of View
I reached on time and like other days he is late. I was about to call him when he arrived.
"Sorry, I was stuck with my work."
"Your daily excuse, now tell me what do you want to ask."
He was about to say something when Ethan arrived, he ruffled my hair and put his hand on my shoulder and started teasing me. I stood up and we started gossiping. I could see the red face of James like he was consumed with anger he stood up and puts his arm firmly around my waist and pulled me towards him and gave Ethan a dead look.
"We're actually in the middle of something private. We'll see you later."
I can feel his thumb slowly stroking my waist under my top. I was feeling tickled and getting butterflies at the same moment.
Ethan left.
"Why did you do that? What kind of behavior was that?" I pushed away his hand and looked towards him.
"So, you enjoy being with him, huh?"
"Wdym..." I couldn't even finish when he grabs my wrist, gently but firmly and pulls me towards the back of the bookshelves where it's dark. He pins me against shelves. "If I see him touch you one more time I won't spare him. Only I owe you." He was still holding my wrist and I couldn't do anything rather than nodding. He placed his hands around my waist "I see you won't mind if he touches you so will you mind if I touch your lips?" He gently moved his thumbs against my lips "They are just too sweet to handle and only I can handle it, but I still need to prepare myself for it." He left and I was shocked by his words only one thing came to my mind "Is he jealous?"
CHAPTER 16(FEELINGS)
Mia's Point of View
I came to my favorite place again and was enjoying the view. it was like the beauty of colors everyone wish to see.
"Hey!"
I jumped, when I heard James voice.
"Oh! Hi James, come sit" I said.
"I knew I would found you here" he said.
He sat beside me.
"So, how's your life going?" he asked.
"As usual, feeling pressured. What about you?"
"Average!"
We talked about our studies and pressure of the exams. Suddenly he got serious.
"Do you still have any feelings left?" he asked.
"For what?" I replied.
"To love someone?"
"Idk...I used to think about it but it always reminds me of the bruise, the pain in my heart, the effect after loving someone."
"But he was not the right person."
I saw the shock in his eyes. I saw her was hurt. We at silently till the sun sets.
"I didn't bring my car today...Should we walk?"
"Okay!"
We were walking over the footpaths, we turned towards a path, it was silent, no one only us. He was quiet that before.
"Are you mad at me?" I asked.
"No why?" he asked.
"You are not talk..."
I didn't even finish when he pulled me closer to him and embraced me through my waist.
"I am not mad at you, I am mad at what I feel."
"Wdym?"
"You are something precious to me, whenever I see you I smile automatically. I feel something different about you."
He left and I remain standing there speechless.
CHAPTER 17(FEELINGS)
James Point of View
I know I am no one in her life but I am madly in love with her I didn't even realise when it all started and I became to addicted to her. I confessed her indirectly and I even know that she is clever to understand it. I don't know whether she will give me a chance or not but I hope I can make her feel special after her trauma. She needs love and I am willing to give it to her if she allow me. I realised tears falling from my eyes and I know that I can't leave without her now.
Mia's Point of View
I thought about James words all night. It is cleared that he loves me, but am I ready to love him like he do? I know he can do everything for me if I accepts but what if he do the same thing as Dave. Questions starts arising and I shared everything with Susan.
"You should trust him, he loves you. I have known that from the day you told me about him. He is the one."
"What if --"
"Falling in love is scary, but what if he is ready to shed his tears just to get you?"
"Why would he be crying and how did you know?"
"I have seen many men in my life I know how can anyone be I have warned you about Dave didn't I? But James is different...call him and see."
I called him.
"Hello!" he said, I can feel he is sobbing.
"Why are you crying?"
"No I am not."
"Meet me tomorrow at the same place"
"Okay!"
I can't sleep well at night all I was thinking about him. It's finally evening and he was waiting there.
"Why were you crying yesterday?'
"Because I fear, I can't lose you. You are the only one who understands me."
"Wdym? Your parents understand you."
"No, my mom died when I was young, my father never loved my after that. If anyone have understand me after that was you, you have indirectly given me the love I deserve. You have changed me from a cold person to a cheerful one. It's okay, if you don't love me at least I get to know that there is someone who can also heal me and love me whether it's indirect. I got the love I deserved but please don't leave me, remain in my life as a friend."
He left, I was still standing there. I know he is not forcing me, he is throwing up his every struggle. It's true he healed me and I didn't even asked about him. I know what I feel. Susan was right he is the one. I will make sure I clear up everything. Both of us are heartbroken, broken hearts will meet. I never got the love I deserved but I know he will love me, yes, I am greedy for his love now. Both of us can heal each other. I am in love with him, deeply than I love myself. I love you James.
CHAPTER 18(CONFESSION)
Mia's Point of View
I immediately called him and told him to come back as soon as possible. He first refused but I requested and he agreed. I waited for him to come back.
"You love me right?" I asked.
"Yes, more than I love myself. I love you, I am madly in love with you. You are really something, you have captured my heart. Can I get a chance to capture your heart too Mia?"
I smiled he knows why I have called him and I know my heart belongs to him. Everytime we met he use to call me with "Hey" but this time he called me with my name. It was a different satisfaction.
"Can I have a chance Mia? Just one more chance and I will give you everything, everything you deserve, can I?"
"Yes!"
He jumped when I said yes; He was running out of joy.
"Thanks for the chance Mia. I'll make sure I give you everything you deserve."
I smiled and cried out of joy because it is the real love I was once searching for, this is what real love sounds.
"I LOVE YOU MIA" he screamed.
I saw him, he sat down on one knee and he held my hands, the golden hues of the sun and the cold breeze was making it more romantic.
"Mia, I loved you since the day we met, I realized it when I saw you with Ethan. There were many misunderstandings but still out love for each other have cleared our way. I know I am your last choice and I will make sure I am your forever one. I will love you only one day 'Everyday', Can I?"
I nodded he stood up and he hold my cheeks I can still saw the same amount of love in his eyes I saw it on the first day. I know what he wants.
"Can I?" he asked.
"Sure." I replied "I was waiting for it."
"I can now handle the sweetness."
I can see him moving closer and our lips finally met. We kissed. It was the best feeling ever. Love is not always about feelings, it's also about trusting the right person and I know he is the right person of my life, for whom I am the best choice and no one else. Our Love life was something different we were first strangers then enemies and then lovers, such an amazing troupe.
I am feeling how actual love sounds after choosing the right person. I knew it that he is my last choice and I also knew it that he will be my forever.
We looked into each other's eyes.
"Forever" we said together and we kissed again, that time only one song matches our situation "I think they call this love". You know what, choosing the right person a different level of satisfaction, the real one will surely come late but he will be yours only and will love you more than you deserve. Truly, this was the best sunset view ever. I love you too James and I can't leave without you. You are the one of my life, no one else. My Forever, I Love you. <3
