Could this moment get any more magical than this?
I had danced before, but this is one of the best dances I have had in my life.
“How long are we going to dance?” She asked.
“Do you want to stop?” She looked away. The way she is holding my hand, it doesn’t seem like she wants to let it go, yet she is throwing such a question.
“Why are you answering my question with another question?” She said while looking away. I pulled her a bit closer to me and I could already see her cheeks in the light shade of pink which was making me amused.
I feel that it is unfair that I am the only one who knows that she loves me, but she isn’t even aware of my feelings.
“Well… I want to know if you want us to stop.”
“It is not like we have to dance to all the songs that are going to be played.”
“Does that mean you want us to stop?”
“I don’t mean that.” Her being shy just makes her cuter. After a few more minutes, the song stopped and we both came to a halt.
“It was amazing.” She said and plopped on the sofa and I sat beside her.
“I guess we can do the same sometimes.”
“It is not like that you are going to stay here forever that you are thinking of such a thing.” She said and that made my heart sink. I held her hand gently, and she was a bit surprised that she covered it quickly.
“Why don’t you come to the USA with me?” She withdrew her hands from mine. “What is wrong?”
“I can’t.” She looked away.
“Why? Why can’t you come?”
“I don’t want to step on that land until and unless I properly stand on my feet.”
“Okay, and how long do you think this will take?”
“I don’t know.” I could sense despair in her voice, and then she looked at me. “Why are you so persistent about taking me to the USA? You already have a girl whom you love. If she comes to know about this, she won't be sad.” I wanted to tell her that that girl is her only, but proposing to her in this way is not a good idea.
“She wouldn’t mind it.”
“Your girl is pretty open-minded.” She yawned and put her head on my shoulder. I looked at her for a couple of seconds before I realized that she had already fallen asleep. I didn’t let go of her hand. My phone rang and it was from my assistant.
“What is it?”
“Sir, this time we have got strong evidence against them.”
“What did you get?”
“A phone call recording. After tailing that man, we found that he had been in contact with some underrated goons, and we had captured them. One of them has provided us with the call recording.”
“That is a good catch.”
“Sir, now we have enough evidence to expose them, so please return now.” I looked over at Alicia, who was sleeping without any care for this world. I sighed.
“How are my parents?”
“They are the same as ever. Even though I have told madam that you are alright, she still wouldn’t budge from seeing you. You have to return as soon as possible. I am afraid that they can’t be held back anymore.” I sighed once again.
“I still couldn’t complete my work.”
“Why don’t you bring your lover to the USA?”
“She is refusing.”
“That is a headache. I am afraid that if your parents set out to search for you, then your separation wouldn’t be pleasant.” I could already imagine what kind of separation we both would be suffering from.
“Don’t worry, try to hold them back as much as possible. I will try to return soon.”
“Alright sir.” I cut the call and again looked at Alicia. What is the reason that you are refusing to go back to the USA with me? What did your homeland make you suffer?
I caressed her face before picking her in my arms and putting her in her bed. She really looks like a child when she sleeps. Why does she have to be beautiful at this point? I don’t like the thought of leaving her early. Though it was unexpected that I ended up here, now that I think about it, it feels like maybe it was my destiny to meet you so that I could fall for you. Though I know that I have fallen too soon, and I am insecure about many things, knowing that I have never felt like this with anyone, it does make me sure that I might not be able to love anyone like I am loving her right now.
Loving someone is hard.
I sighed and went back to set my bed up. I want to take her away from here and give her a better life, but I know that she wouldn’t like to be dependent on me.
After staying here for a couple of weeks, I have realized many things and experienced those things which always felt meaningless, like the meaning of home. I am not saying that my parents don’t love me, but as both of them were always working, I had hardly gotten any time for theirs. I never knew the concept of home until I came here. She makes me feel so warm here that I don’t want to leave this warmth.
I can’t delay my departure anymore. I will discuss things with Alicia and will sort this out. Even if she stays here, then I will make sure that by any means I can visit her frequently and spend more time with her.
