***ALENA'S P.O.V***
I was just doing my work. I had just come out of my cabin and was just figuring out how it went. I have to discuss this as a very important meeting.
When I saw Myra and she grabbed my attention when he took my name, "Hello Alena, how are you?"
As I saw her, I just smiled at her. It always feels so good to meet your old friends. It feels like eating, to meet them. I am very happy to be "Hello Myra. I am absolutely fine. How are you?"
When I asked her how she was, the way she replied was just like a punch, but let it be, just not let it bother me, "How am I looking? I am also perfectly fine. I am just more than good OK, so just chill, so we are hanging out. That is why you won't join us. It would be superb if you joined us and it would be fabulous."
and she asked me to join her for an outing. I looked at Chris. Should I do that? No, it's not going to be a good idea. I should not do this. I should let them all go.
After all, Myra also doesn't want me the way she asked me. It just made it clear so I should not say yes to it. It would be very stupid if I said yes to it. "No actually, I have some work to do. You guys go and have fun. I will come next time."
I told it but Blair is the one who dont like this i just dont know what is his problem why he do things this way he is such a stubbirn thing i looked at him and then he zaid no Blair
"OK Alena, OK, if you are busy, then I am not going to make that happen or I will not force you. OK now you can go and do your work." Before he could say anything, Myra said that it was alright if I did not come. I was absolutely right when I thought that she didn't want me to do it. I should not bother them, it's gonna be wrong. That should just let them. It is on their own. It would just be great. I should just let that happen. I smiled at her as she said it.
"No, Alena, you have to join us. You can do your work tomorrow or later on. Just come with us for a day. Please can you just please do this. It would be great if you would do this.", not Blair, not, no one else, Chris. He wants me to come, but I can. I can't let them. I can't let it all get spoiled. I don't want to want Myra to have a face like she is very upset. I want that to happen and that is it, and this is not what I want and I will not go. He is asking for so much.
"No, I am good. I am absolutely fine. I have work, Chris, so I just want to do that." I told him that I wouldn't just go and enjoy the trip. They would stay here only, but then Blaur said
"Common Alena, come with us just for a while. Please, Alena, just come and don't do this please." Blair said, and I smiled at him and then I nodded at him. I also want to go with them like in the old times. I will accompany them, sorry, Myra.
"OK cool, I will also come. I will join you all but you all have to wait half an hour. I have some work so I will first finish it, then I will join you guys." I told them and then I looked at them for answer, to which Blair said. I looked at her and then at myself. I knew that he had an answer and that was for sure.
"Cool, let us just do it. We will wait for you for a while, then just just relax and just don't worry about it. I just hope that you will understand this. Myra will come and sit with us in Chris's cabin. We will chill there." I said, and then I made my way to work. I have to finish this as soon as possible. I also want to join them. I want this desperately. I just want this.
As soon as I did my work, I packed my stuff and then I took my bag and then I went to Chris' cabin. As I opened the door, Myra said "Hello Alena, so, work is over, so can we all just go now." she we said. I said it as a punch line. I looked at Chris. I dont know why I just looked at him.
"Yeah, my work is done. I am sorry I made you all wait. Honestly, that was not my intention at all. I am extremely sorry for that." I said sorry for being late. I looked at Chdis and then I said it all. Then she looked at me as if she would just kill me right now for being late, and then Chris said
"It is fine Alena," Chdis said, before anyone could have said anything. I am happy that he still cares.
"No, it is not okay, Alena, you are a CEO. You will know about the importance of time, then you will be aware of that this is not done and not acceptable, but still. But he thinks that it is that I could not do anything about this, but we waited for half an hour for you, which is not okay." She just for sure has a personal grudge against me. She is making personal comments about me which I don't like, but I don't want you to hear from her. It is all just waste. I don't want to do that.
"No, it is okay Myra, you are not a business woman, you don't know how much we have to work, so just let it be. I think that we should all just go, otherwise we will be in." Chris stood up and then said in my defence. I don't need anyone, but I still have to do it. I have to tolerate it all. I just took a deep breath and then thought about just ignoring it as it was just gonna increase the scene which I didn't want to have.
"We are already late," Myra said. I know that she doesn't want me to come, but I just can't do anything about this now. I am coming.
"Come, Come, Alena, don't do this. Just don't do that. You have to sit with us. This is it. If you do not sit with us, then it will not be good." as we went down, I was about to step out of my car when Blair said it. Then I stopped and then didn't sit in my car. I told my driver to leave. I will come later on my own.
"Are you comfortable?" I sat in the jeep in front of Myra and went for something in the back office. I just know that when she comes back she is not going to like it. That is all that I know. I just dont know what else I have to do to make things work.
"Yes, I am completely fine. I am absolutely fine and it will be good if you drive carefully." I told him. He skirled at me and then looked like Myra at the face that he made was not good. It was like she just got upset that she didn't get to sit there.
"The hell what is Alena doing here? I was supposed to sit here." Myra came as I expected. She just started to say and that is it the only thing that I know is that now I am not getting up.
"Common Myra, just sit behind. Don't create a scene. It is not going to be good." as Blair said, Myra made a weird face and then she just went back and then she sat down.
"So let's go guys then." I knew that she didn't like the idea that I was.
It took him 2 hrs to drive and reach there. He seemed to be exhausted. I looked at him. He did a great job. He drove so long and it took him so much time. His back is gone now. Whatever I will say, but I think it is just that I need this place. I miss this place.
"Do you remember anything, Chris, this is the place where we all used to go when we were in college? It was such a great time, and now we are grown up, actually, we are just grown up. Actually, we are not grown up," Blair said. I looked at myself and then I just smiled. I remember this place. I just remember this place. I just know that is how it is. This is all that I know.
"Now is the time for something special. Now you have to have this OK and one more thing, no lie and no back up OK." Myra said. I know that it's gonna be fun what we usually do and how we usually do that.
"Guys, I have you leave. It's actually getting late. What I say at home I should leave now." I said and then got up to leave. It's getting late.
" Comin Alena, you have come a long way here now. Just stay here and just enjoy this thing that is happening OK, so game time your bottle." I agreed to stay but when Myra, me the beer bottle, I refused to take it.
"Sorry Myra, but I just could not have this. I am extremely sorry, but as we will all be drinking, I think that I should just avoid this." as I didn't take it, as someone had to be responsible if someone also didn't take it. I don't know why.
"Alena looked at me. Listening to me. It is just common." when she was saying this, Chdis also said that he didn't want to drive k
"It is fine. I also don't want to drink. After all, I will be driving you both to drink and have fun." I looked at him as he indirectly supported me, then Myra went and sat next to him.
"I am fine. I am absolutely fine. Look at me, so now, Blair, your turn, so you choose to tell me that you loved Alena right and you just wanted her right. It is you are okay with it. I want to ask you one thing. I still love Alena." I don't know why Myra is doing this. What does she get from all these things? These are all such childish things.
"I am sorry Chris, I am extremely sorry. Listen to me, yes I liked her when we were in college. I am extremely sorry to say this. I am here and now I like her as a friend because the day she was with Chris and the day they came together I stopped thinking even a bit of thinking about her." Blair was saying sorry before saying anything. I just know how he is. He is just a great man and I don't know what Myra's problem is with all these things.
"So, Alena, did you ever have any feelings for Blair? I mean coming he is so good, by the way, what about it that you both think about each other now, as Alena and Chris are over now, so what?" Chris got up in anger. I dont know why, but he gave me a look.
"Myra, you should know when to talk and when not to. I just don't get what is wrong with you. We ate here for fun and it seems like we are here just for this stupid thing, Myra.",,, as Chris was about to say things to Myra. Blair stopped him. I am glad that he did that or this scene would have happened.
"Sorry Chris, I just said it as a joke. I am sorry if I hurt you. I am sorry Alena. This was not my intention." He looked at her. He and I know that he was very angry with him, but now we should just leave here or else things will just get screwed. I don't want to do it. It will not be good.
" Usually we love each other, now the only feeling between us is hate."
"What could I have to do now?" Chris asked Myra, but before her, Blair spoke
"Sing the same song you sang for Alena when you fell for her, the song made for her." Sing the song for me no, I dont want that I I dont want that right now or I will be in tears. That song is close to my heart and it will just break me into pieces. I want to hear that
Chris looked at me and then Myra smirked and then he sang it.
"No I won't, I will sing that song."
" Common Chris, it's just a song," Myra said, and Blair. They also both made me sing it.
But still, as no one was ready for the time he sang it, he looked at me as he held his guitar and then he sang it. I am in pain. I am in a lot of pain but I just can not say anything right now, just zong just kills me. It kills every single beat of me. It just kills me completely.
It reminds me how he proposed how we both feel for each other.
"So now we should all go."
Then we all made our way to my jeep as k was just driving. It just stopped and then we saw that its tires were gone. Now there is no way that it can be fixed. I am so frustrated with this that night that I dont know what will happen now.
"Chris, calm down, we will figure out something. I will call my driver. He will come, then we can all go."
"No, Alena, you are here. Your aunt is going to make a drama of it already, so just don't do that. I will figure out something I will call one. one and I will do the thing. You must be tired. You should go and sit in the jeep with them."
"I am not going anywhere Chris, sorry I am not going to leave. You are sorry I only be there with you." I only didn't want to leave him alone. I just want to be with him. That is all that I want. I just wish that he had not been stubborn so things would have been easy for us, but as I know, he is not the one who will understand it sooner.
"Ok Alena."
"Yes, why is it? Why are you two like this? Is everything alright?"
"Actually, this is our vehicle and you can see that it got punctured, so it would be great if you gave all four of us a lift."
"Four, but you are just the two of you."
"No, we have two more friends, actually they are drunk. So, could you just please."
"They are just like mom and dad. It's sweet and nice it's been years since I met them." as he said that they are just like mom and dad it hurt me a lot. I just dont know why, but that just hurts me a lot. Do I even know that dad does not know how he will act when he learns the truth? He will be broke and I don't want to. I took a deep breath and decided that it would be better if I just did not say anything. Right I just looked at him.
"Yes, you should go there and meet them. They must be missing you a lot Chris." I wish that I could tell him the truth, but no, he has to learn it himself. This is not the right time. But I will tell him. It still he. He doesn't know what is wrong with it. He should know about it. It's important, it's very important for him to know that the man be5of whom he is here is now no more. He is not with us now. It makes me feel insane to just think about dad when he learns the truth about how he is going to be.
"Yes, it's been years since I met them. I am missing them a lot now."
"Alena, actually I want to ask you something. I know that you don't want this, but Alena, the point is they are old and they are already delivering us, so we just could not ask them to drop you and then me, so I was thinking that it would be wonderful if you would stay the night just at my place. It would just be great."
"You are right, I should stay at your place. This couple is very old. It would be bad if I made them suffer and I could let anyone know in the house that I was with you, so that is it, that then I will do it." I agreed to stay at his place. I just don't have the option. It is the only thing that I could have done and I don't think that it is wrong if Chris and I are in a mutual. There is just nothing wrong with this and I just also have to do it.
"Want some coffee? As he asked me for coffee, I said yes to him and then I agreed to it. I know that this is how it is and that is all that I know.
He makes good coffee. I have always loved it, not to lie. I smiled at him. I am trying to make things smooth between us.
"Thank you."
"What happened, Christchati asked him as he was just looking at me. I know that there is something that is going on in his head and I will just not be able to know it. I want to sleep. I am exhausted. It is just building tension around me. The more he is here, the more it's building tension. This is just insane. I just dont understand it. This is the hell, is it?
"It is just great, Alena. I am actually shocked by this. I don't know about it, but the thing is that I am glad that I got the opportunity to get this coffee from my hands again. I am actually very happy."
"If you wanted it, then I would have given you that in the office, and Chris. We have come to the conclusion that now we can be mutually in this."
"True, you are right, but this is not the point. The point is that I just don't know what our equation will be from all this, and everything. Only one thing has happened is that now we have just come to peace, so I just want Alena. That is all that I want."
"Chris, I understand what you are saying, but I just want to say you don't think about it like this, Chris, because you are not wrong Chris, you are just OK and you do that. It is you now, you will be like that only and that is all that I want and that is all that you want, so we both should just stick to that Chris doesn't think about what will happen and what will happen OK."
"Alena, I just also want to be with you on this. I also want to. I hope that you will also understand that and you will also do as we just have to do."
"Alena, did you ever have any feelings for Blair or anything like that? because that was it. I know that he has always liked you and I knew it. But was it ever from your side? I know that I have no one to ask this question, but still I am still asking and that is because I just need to be sorry Alena, you don't have to answer, you don't own me anything. OK, I know that I just think that or I say just I that you never knew I it." as i got hyper she made me look at her
"No, Chdis, I never liked home, it was never him and it would have been. It would be just you and it would always be you, so I just don't know how I feel and how it will be. Just know that this is not what it is, just whatever Myra said to her. She said it because of that. She just did it for fun and you know that."
"Thank you Alena." I was looking at him. I wanted to be with him. I just knew that I wanted him in my arms.
"Cris, I think that now I should sleep. It is very late."
"Was that you?"
"No, I am also checking who is out."
"What are you doing here, Myra? Is everything alright? Is you okay?"
"I was having a way but I felt sorry Alena, sorry I am sorry." Thank God.
"OK, I will give you way." I gave her water and then I took her with me. I know that she is drunk because I will let her be on her own. She will for sure screw things up, so I just have to make sure that she just sleeps in her bed.
"Thanks, I am sorry that Myra and Blair are drunk, so you have to be, so it's all. I am extremely sorry that you can sleep sorely because of that again." He looked at me and then smiled at me. It's been so long since I was so close to him and I just miss that I miss it. I miss what we had and what we were not able to handle. I miss it every single day. I am sorry Chris.
"It is completely fine Chris, even if Myra doesn't consider me as her friend, I am still her friend and I am going to be okay and things on more, Chris, stress on unnecessary stuff."
"What happened? Did you want something? As he asked me, I told him that now I should go do that. That would be the best. Then he looked at me and then smiled.
"No, I don't want anything. I was just looking at the lights, so I think that now I should go. I will get a cab. Thank you so much for letting me stay the night here."
"No need to thank me, Alena, I am happy that you stayed here and have forgotten about whatever happened that made you feel awkward for any reason. I hope that you understand what I am trying to say I am. I don't know why, but I am just bad at it, Alena. If I stay here longer and then, after having breakfast longer, you can leave." I smiled at him and said,
"No Chris, I am fine. I should actually leave now or my family will be worried. Thank you so much." that I made my way downstairs and then I sat in a cab and then I made my way to my home. That last kiss. That happened between us. We both kissed each other. All these years we have both been apart and now we have both just kissed each other. I took a deep breath and then I just tried to come to my senses. I just have to be normal. I don't have to act like I am thinking about something or anything
The cab stopped and then I got off of it and then I made my way to my house. When I rang the door bell, my aunt opened it, which I didn't expect, but as I saw her, I smiled at her. "Aunt, good morning."
As I made my way to my room, my aunt said, "Alen, where were you for the whole night and don't you think that you could lie hard from me? She asked me. I smiled at her and then I said
"I was in the office. I had some work to do. We had meetings and then we headed out. What, aunt, I messaged mom." she laughed at me and then said,
"Your trust is a fool and she just trusts you blindly, but I joyn't. I know that you don't have any of the office what have you thought that you will send your driver home and we will not learn about it that you were with chris Alena ket me be clear that i dont want him again a part of our life's i don't like him even a bit it makes me feel nausea i don't want him here." sue just said it i know how much they all hatr him and he had done stuffs he had hurted me hut the behaviour that aunt is doing is not correct
"Aunt, I accept that you don't like him but this type of talk, that is the reason why I didn't tell you that I was with Chris and not just with him. I am with Blair and Myra. What do you think, aunt? I don't have feelings." I told her very angrily. I am upset. I am very upset and every single time my aunt just makes me feel I am wrong, which I am not. She should also understand the reason and how much every person suffers because of everything, but every single time it has to be her and her priority and her decision. She will never understand me, not even for a bit.
"So this is how, now you are going to talk to me. This is not what I expected from you, Alena. I am sorry to say this. What you want to do, I just don't care about it now." she said, and as she was about to make her way away she saw mom and then she stopped.
"What's going on at this time?", mom asked. Because I looked at her, my aunt looked at me. Andbeth said
"Your daughter was with Chris for the whole night and when I thought that I would say something to her she decided that she would shout at me that the color of being with Chris is just showing that you need to take care of her." she said. My mom looked at me.
"What is it, Alena, why were you talking to your aunt like that? I can I know what is the reason that made you do that?" I looked down with tears in my eyes and then said,
"Mom, I do have feelings and I know that aunt thinks well, but she can just not trust me?"
"It is not that she doesn't trust you, we all trust you, but does that mean that you should talk like this? Ay, sorry for her, Alena, and one more thing. I do
I want to hear something like this again from you and I am sorry to say you too." Mm told me to say sorry to my aunt.
"It is of no use if she will be with
Chris and I know that whatever he will say, one thing I am sure is that she is not going to give up on her because of whatever he does and that thing hurts me." my aunt said, then I looked at him and said,
"Why do you think that it is the only thing that will happen for once? Cann't you think that I can also be happy? We are just friends and we both know what happened and how happy we are. 55. Please don't repeat it, and, mom, I am sorry, I am sorry aunt, but it was not a crime to move out and enjoy going with friends. It is Sir, not a crime.". She said" I" and then I took a deep breath. I have been controlling everything from the beginning. Why did no one say that they should also look up to me, but? But why no one loved me that much and would also have loved me that?
"Alena, you should go to your room. I think that you are stressed out and it would be good if you would just go and do that. Alsna just go now Alema." my mom said, then, I looked at her with questions in my eyes. I said
"Why mom, because I am replying to aunt. She is the one who has to interfere in everyone's business, mom, and now that is not OK with her because I am not able to tolerate it all just for Chris Chris. He is no one now in my life." .
I told her and then I made my way to my room. It hurts me every single time. It is hurting me that no one understands me. I just dont understand it at all. I dont get the point do the only thing that I know is just this, only that I dont want that to happen.
I took a deep breath and then decided that I should get down.
TO BE CONTINUED....
