The Pain Lingers

She decided to divert her attention to somebody else – Noel. Noel is a good guy; someone who’s friendly and very down to earth. Aisha doesn’t really have the affection for him, but to some extend, she would rather be close with him than any other in her league. Noel seem to have the same notion as her. He also doesn’t have the affection for her but he simply likes being around with her. He seem to feel something, someone perhaps, been bothering Aisha. He couldn’t provide a proof but it seems Noah had something to do with it. On the contrary, he is not in the position to meddle with the issue.

Aisha believe that she’s not fully transparent to the guy he is standing infront. She always believed that Noel doesn’t have a clue that she’s really hurting inside. But she knows Noah is staring at him from afar. She’s not happy with where she is now. She’s not glad even a little for the weird attention Noah gave at this very moment.

She glanced at him. He saw it. No smile, only a stare. She bowed her head, said an excuse to Noel, went to the nearest powder room and cried.

“Why I like him so much? Why is he making me insane? Why he doesn’t show he care? Doesn’t he like me? I hope he can see through me and feel how much I like him.”

And she cried again.

Noah's Agony

Noah knew he’s not making any sense. He knew he is hurting her. He knew he is really trying to avoid her. But why? He often asked himself. Why would he do that? Why would he dare to keep the distance?

It’s because of Sophia. He closed his eyes and deeply sighed.

He’s dating Sophia even before he met Aisha. He likes her, that’s why. He never thought something would come up and complicate his life. He never thought he could possibly lie and keep some strangest feeling towards someone. He had never done it before but the act of thinking of somebody else while dating Sophia guilt him. He has done it many times. And many times, he feel so stupid because he is fighting against himself. His heart beats so fast whenever he thinks of her, but his mind knocks him up to reality.

He knew, his heart knew, he is starting to like Aisha.

But he doesn’t want to hurt her, and there’s nothing he can do. If she’s hurting, he’s paining as twice as her, even more than he could imagine.
