“Are you sure Aiden you would be fine with just that?”
Talking as he follows Aiden, Elton can believe that his friend would do just that. He knew him too well. And just by remembering how he was those times that he is mad, there is no way that he can just let that be.
“Elton, just go have a date with Aiya”
Letting out a deep sigh, he knew for sure that Aiden is just avoiding the conversation.
But there really is something wrong with him. it isn’t something that he can explain but Elton can’t remove the thoughts he had with him.
“Just don’t do things you would regret, okay?”
“Yeah, Thanks”
He stopped on his step. Looking at Aiden with a dead eyes, that made Aiden laugh. But even that action that he did made Elton’s face turns worst.
“Really… men… what is wrong with you. You don’t plan on leaving the world are yah?”
“Why would I?”
Shaking his head, Elton pouted.
‘Although he acts so weird, it is better than seeing him put himself in one corner. Sad and miserable…’
There was a small smile forming on his lips.
“Ah, right. After things are settled… would you mind being my best man?”
That is something that Elton has been planning for so long. To propose with Aiya and finally make their own family.
Someone’s phone then rings. It was Aiden. But before he answers that phone call, he look at Elton and slightly hit his shoulder.
“That is if you can have the courage to propose”
Answering the phone call, that left his friend slightly turning red. He is indeed a someone capable of many things but when it comes to Aiya, there are things he can’t help but be super bad at.
“You… of course I can!”
Shouting as Aiden was a bit far from where he is, even though he was far, he saw how Aiden bid his hand a small wave.
“That guy…”
He can’t help but mumble. Looking at Aiden’s back, he looks so energetic. Something he never was. Something none would imagine happening to him.
“But I guess it is not that bad of a change… I just hope that things works well on him”
…
“Mr. Aiden, I see that you are back”
“Good day Dr. Manfreder”
A small smile escaped Aiden’s lips, as he hold the bouquet of flowers on his hands, Dr. Manfreder pointed the room with his head. He just finished checking for her vitals.
“How is she?”
“Go see for yourself”
A small chuckle escaped the old man’s lips.
Its been weeks since that incident happened. Luckily, it is not her time yet to die. Who would have thought that the gun she use was out of bullets?
But that incident brought heavy changes. Not just for her but also for the two guys who saw her act that way.
“Lea”
He greeted as he saw how she was talking with Mira. A friend of hers. Although Aiden can’t help but think how she looks familiar, he just let her be since Lea had fun talking with her. She also helped in the case of Brylle. With the information he got as well as the witness’s video taken with the help of Menandro, the footage also shows a heavy evidence in Paul’s murder.
That being said, he have no way to clean his name.
“Aiden…”
She mumbled. That is when Mira stands up and smile in a smirking manner.
“Seems like your husband is here”
Mira then slightly point the door.
“I have to go now. Make sure to have a good rest and…” winking her eye, Mira whispered. “keep it a secret okay?”
That made Lea giggles.
“Take care and thank you… Mira”
By that, it was only Aiden and Lea left on the room.
“How are you?”
He asked as he sat down on the seat where Mira was sitting just a while ago.
“I am fine… Dr. Manfreder’s medicine seems to be working”
“Does that mean…”
“Yes, I slowly gain back my memories… but… it was still unclear”
There was a worry on his face. Lea’s been in such difficult situation. Aiden knows it isn’t easy for her. It isn’t easy that she even think of killing herself.
Scared about that fact, Aiden hold Lea’s hands.
“Yes? Is there something wrong?”
She asked. Confused why he hold her hand. Something he would never do before.
“I’m sorry”
That made Lea speechless. She doesn’t know what to say or how to react in what he said. Although it wasn’t like Aiden at all, since the time she gain back her consciousness in this place, Dr. Manfreder discuss the matter about how her memories are like that. she did have a bit of amnesia but that wasn’t the only case. She would be good by just time and would gain back her memories if not for some medicine that hit her system.
‘Is it Brylle’s doing?’
She still can’t help but feel like everything is so impossible. It is as if… just a while ago and things are all doing great. But in an instant, all of things changed. As if… something is playing with her life. As if… someone was there to give her sufferings.
“You wouldn’t be like this if not for me… I am sorry to drag you in this situation”
“You always apologize each time we met. Since… that time…”
Looking at his eyes, she knew that he was sincere with his words. But something in her was telling,
‘Is it really him who was the one to be blame? Or is it me…? Is it Brylle? No matter what I think about it, I don’t really feel the urge to blame someone… none of us wants this to happen… not Aiden… not me… not Brylle…’
Forcing a smile, she didn’t know that its looks painful for Aiden to see her like that.
“Things happens… you don’t need to blame yourself, it is not your fault… Aiden”
