Chapter:14
"Zayden".
I walked upstairs, my mind still reeling from my conversation with Nala. I had told her everything. Everything about myself , my pain , my backstory , my past . She ..she was same as me .
She was hurt , torture by the person whom she loved who was supposed to love her but .. it's it's the world .
As I was thinking about her . I started to match the things . Our torture , destroyed family . Enemy.
Wait whos her enemy
She didn't tell me name of who hurt her .
I will ask when I meet her again .
As I was walking I remember Nala again . The sight of her hitting herself shouting why did I die? .
I had told her to not do anything bad, but I couldn't shake the feeling that she was hiding something from me.
I reach me study . I let the thought of Nala aside for now .
I open the door .
As I entered my study, I saw Aidyn sitting in one of the chairs, looking rather pleased with himself. "What brings you here?" I asked, trying to sound stern.
Aidyn grinned. "Well, nothing important. Just missing you," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
Missing me . He must be out of his mind .
I rolled my eyes. "Be serious, Aidyn. I'm not your girl with whom you are flirting and missing," I said, trying to sound bored.
Aidyn chuckled. "Well, then let's get serious," he said, his expression turning serious.
I raised an eyebrow. "What's going on?"
Aidyn leaned forward. "I've found something, but I'm not sure about it, and I want to learn something from you," he said, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.
I was taken aback. "You want to learn something from me?" I repeated, trying to sound surprised.
Aidyn nodded. "Yes, I want to know about how to join pieces of a puzzle," he said, his voice filled with a sense of determination.
I raised an eyebrow. "Pieces of a puzzle?" I repeated, trying to sound intrigued.
"Well, it's not puzzle . It's about life . You know some complicated things." He say .
"Okay" I say .
Aidyn nodded. "well, I like a girl, but it's quite hard for us to get together," he said, his voice filled with a sense of longing.
Wait what he like a girl .
He just get back and he's already in live with someone .
I leaned back in my chair, trying to sound nonchalant. "Oh, so you like a girl," I said, trying to tease him.
Aidyn glared at me. "Don't make fun of me, got it?" he said, his voice filled with a sense of annoyance.
I held up my hands. "Fine, carry on," I said, trying to sound serious.
Aidyn took a deep breath. "Well, it's kinda hard. We met under strange circumstances. I went to a coffee shop for my coffee, and then suddenly a girl came and held my hand. She said, 'Here you are. I've been waiting for you for ages," she said this and after seeing the boy Infront of me I get clue so I say "sorry moonlight" .'" he said, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
I raised an eyebrow. "Moonlight?" I repeated, trying to sound intrigued.
Aidyn nodded. "Yes, she's just like moonlight, black hairs and grey eyes . Even her outfit is the combination of white, grey black. Her face is fair, her wavy short hairs falling over her face. Looking damn beautiful," he said, his voice filled with a sense of awe.
I chuckled. " you study her .Looks like you're already in love," I said, trying to tease him.
Aidyn glared at me. "Hey, just listen, okay?" he said, his voice filled with a sense of annoyance.
I held up my hands. "Okay, go on," I said, trying to sound serious.
Aidyn took a deep breath. "Well, after that, that boy tried to hit me, because he was to angry to see us , but then she splashed hot coffee on his face, saying, 'You cheat first. Then what should you think I would cry for you and become a depressed person? No way. Xander . Now get out,'" he said, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
I whistled. "She sounds like a firecracker," I said, trying to sound impressed.
Aidyn nodded. "Yes, she's kind of different. I mean, not that bad kind of different. I meet her again and got to know much about her . She's just like use but not that much . It's just that she's wounded and broken. So I'm afraid," he said, his voice filled with a sense of concern.
I leaned forward. "You're afraid that she's different , broken . Oh it must be cause of that boy ." I repeated, trying to sound intrigued.
"Well, not only that . She have gone through much . In her childhood and even now . She's alone . She never wanted to be with someone . After stalking her I get to know that she didn't even like that boy . He confess her . She didn't want to hurt his feeling" .
She's really different I mean. One time she hit , other shes kind whatever . I shouldn't think about her .
"So, she's hurt and broke. That's why you don't want her" I ask
Aidyn shook his head. "No, not like that. I mean, what if she gets hurt by me too?" he said, his voice filled with a sense of fear.
So, he's afraid that what if he hurt her to . Aidyn is really different from the one in company.
He didnot wanted to hurt her I again repeat . Isn't it's me I also don't wanna hurt Nala .
That's the reason. I will never leave her .
Why does everyone get hurt in childhood. I thought it's just me .
I have to think of a solution.
What if it's Nala . Her life is a mess and she doesn't have anyone to relie on what if Aidyn girl is like that to .
What if she just want someone to help he r. To be with her .
Yeha right .
I nodded. "Listen, if you love her, and you're worried about her, then go and make her life better," I said, trying to sound serious.
" But zayden what if_"
"Listen Aidyn I know it's hurt when you see someone whom you love hurt but it doesn't mean you should left them alone . What if all she needs was a person to help her get away from that darkness . Who will bring the light back to her life".
Aidyn nodded, a look of determination on his face. "yeah, I .. I will make her happy . No matter what will happen. I will be with her ," he said, his voice filled with a sense of conviction.
We spent the rest of the morning going over some papers and discussing business. But my mind kept wandering back to Nala, and the conversation we had earlier. I couldn't shake the feeling that she was hiding something from me, and I was determined to find out what it was.
