I woke up at around 5 pm in the evening when the cool breeze brushed my face. I walked towards the kitchen to grab a bottle of water where I discovered Mary sitting on the couch with Aron and they were having a conversation. I didn't think of it that much but silence prevail when they saw me. I awkwardly said , "hey Mary , how are u doing?". Mary didn't looked pleased and answered, "hey , yeah I am uh , yeah good". "Come join us Melissa!" , Aron said. I could sense the irritation Mary had on her face. "um , I like would like to rest", I answered. "It's fine Melissa, you can sit with us", Aron said. I quietly grabbed the bottle and sat with them. I was on the chair and Mary started speaking. "So , Aron , what do you think?". "What do you mean huh? , you lost your chance , don't come back to me again" Aron said with a loud voice. The water almost choked my throat and I understood that Mary came to Aron for a second chance. Mary silently got up and left the room saying . "I am sorry". I sat there numb. I saw Aron upset and went to him. He got up and went to his room , ignoring me. I decided to make dinner to cheer him up.

When it was almost 9 pm , he opened his door and came to the kitchen following the smell. I made tacos , his favourite back then. His face glow up and a smile came to his sad drenched face. He didn't say anything . I too tried to enjoy this silent happiness. I served him and we ate together. After completing , he said . "Melissa , I am sorry". I stopped at my last bite and looked up at him when he left the table and went to my room. I kept the dishes on the sink and followed him. He was sitting on the bed , looking down at his fists . I sat beside him and then he started, "I am sorry", his voice cold and calm . I didn't interrupt and he said, "you were a gem in my life back then but I overlooked you . I overlooked my happiness and gave Mary my priority when you were always caring and helping me. She came today to join things back , how can I be ?"he stopped. "It's fine Aron , I had forgiven you because if you love a person , you should let them be happy and I think you should forget the past." "Have you forgotten?", Aron looked at me. My body felt exhausted like I wanted to cry but then I thought that I prepared myself for anything so I answered , "Aron , I can never but that doesn't mean that I will stick to it and never move on. It's life , Aron". He was silent and I tried to hold my tears. Then his next question startled me, "Do you still love me , Melissa?". I hold my breathe like my soul would leave my body and I would like to disappear. "Aron , this is neither the place nor the time to discuss this, I want to forget everything. Even if I still do , I promised myself never to get hurt , so it would be better if... you know". "I understand", Aron said calmly. A drop of tear fell from my eyes and he looked straight into me. Our eyes were speaking like they needed each other but our soul knew that we could never be together.

"Well well , time for your meds." He got up and shook his head. I got myself together and the pointed needle attacked me again but this didn't give that much pain which his question gave me. I laid on the bed and he sat beside me waiting for me to get asleep. But the tears were flowing and I tried to hide it. He was helpless but then he took my head in his arms and pressed his lips on my head. I cried my heart out , shouting and screaming . "It's okay Melissa , sorry for hurting you again , I am sorry" he apologised. I didn't respond anything and cried till I got tired in his arms and I sobbed . He was still holding me until I finally fell asleep.

Sometimes , at unexpected times , you fall in love with the most unexpected person. It's human feelings. We are weak against emotions of love. I loved Aron with my whole heart and soul . The love was true and I really wanted him but fate changed. Today , his question broke me from inside. I wanted to hold him and kiss him and accept his proposal but was scared to harming my feelings again.

My eyes glitched at the bright rays of the sun. It was tuning cold outside as it was already winter , the season of cold heartbreaks. I slowly got up from the bed and I saw Aron standing in the doorway. He was wearing dark blue trousers and white t shirt which really made him look good. "Good morning, freshen yourself and the breakfast is on the table , hurry up , we have to go to the office" Aron said. Office? Like we are really going as I thought that I was on strict rest but I didn't interrupt as I wanted to freshen my mind. I wished him good morning and I got myself shower. I wore jeggings with a pink top that my mother brought me for my birthday. I combed my hair and went to the kitchen. Aron was busy organising his desk while I ate and washed my dish as I saw the dishes from the last night were already washed. Aron must have had done it. He came from his room and stood still after seeing me. "You um , look good" Aron praised . "Thanks , let's head out" I answered. He nodded his head , locked the door and we headed for work.

"I wanted to lighten you up so I thought of taking you to your work place , it would clear your mind from the last night." Aron said. "That's nice" I said. Aron gave a hurtful smile and we headed to THE FUTURE WITH US.

Sometimes all you have to do is ignore the fact that your upset and it would automatically lighten you up . From all these years of working, I think I should give Fritz a chance , I should make myself happy and bring those things that make me happy in my life. A new adventure awaiting...
