Letting go of your painful past is how you open yourself to your wonderful future.


    ra remembered her dad’s words as she took a deep breath. More than following his words, she wanted to piss Mira a lot. Seeing her restless figure made her happy. ra wanted to tease her more than she could. She wished to stay away from all these people but now it seems like she started enjoying messing up with everyone. To be honest, it’s really fun for her.


    “Edward, how about the song, let me love you? Can you y that for me?” ra asked and a loud gasping sound echoed all around the room. Mira red at ra as tears started rolling down her cheeks. Alina and Edward were conflicted between happiness and fear.


    The song started ying as ra took Alex’s hands gently and clutched them. Mira lowered her eyes not wanting to show her vulnerable state. She wanted to show that these little things can never hurt her.


    ra looped her hand around his neck as Alex slowly touched her waist. Her satin shirt tried to slip his hand away often so he had to pull her tightly so that it wouldn’t slip away. ra cursed to even take this dress.


    “Can you stay a little away?''” ra gritted her teeth but Alex didn’t even bother to reply to her as he pulled her closer and she fell on his chest. Edward and Alina smiled at them. Even though they were fighting, they looked too cute together.


    “Let’s be honest.” ra voiced out in between her dance.


    “We can’t be stuck in the past forever. Let’s just move on.” She replied as she twirled herself. Alex didn’t bother to even reply to her as he was just dancing with her. He wanted to stay there for a few more minutes but cursed his friend who switched off the music. But did he just enjoy being with her? Alex slowly took back steps and looked at ra. She has the same magic charms to capture his heart and he prayed hard not to fall for that ever again.


    ra left the ce abruptly. Alex fisted his hand but he failed to see the upset face of Mira.


    ra closed her eyes to release a few tears from her eyes. Why did it have to be painful like this? Should she let everything go and beg on her knees to Alex so that he epts her again in his life? She can feel that with him, she feelsplete. But the pain she had was not small.


    “I will never forget the pain you gave me.” She mumbled again with anger as she wiped down her tears.


    “Jason” she attended the call. Nowadays it seems that talking to Jason made her feel so fresh. He is the right guy for being a friend.


    “Hey, the girl is standing alone near the red pub. From her appearance, I don’t think she knew what this ce was.” Jason panicked as ra widened her eyes. She totally forgot about the issue.


    “Between, what are you doing in that pub?” She asked, crossing her arms. Jason smiled sheepishly as if caught in the middle of the crime.


    “You can’t me me. I am thirty-two already and my family doesn’t even care about my marriage. So I just wanted to explore the world.” Jason reasoned but ra gritted her teeth angrily.


    “Leave that. Should I go and take the girl to the restaurant again?” Jason asked, changing the topic.


    “Wait. She is calling someone. I am sure it must be Edward.” Jason spoke when ra saw Edward talking on the phone from the balcony.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    “Guys, carry on. I have something important.” Edward took his keys and left the home immediately in a hurry even without replying to Alina who was shouting from behind to take his helmet.


    “Hey, follow him and we should catch him red-handed. I will shoot the video to show it to Alina.” Jason suddenly gets energetic as if he solves a serial murder case.


    “No,” ra replied inly.


    ****


    “Uncle please take care of her. I have important work here. I wille next week” Mira knew that Alex was behind her. She just wanted him to see her from this chaos. Because of him, her life has turned like this and he has no right to hurt her like this.


    “Okay, uncle.” She hung up the call and turned to see Alex.


    “Is your mom fine?” Alex asked.


    “She was fine earlier but suddenly her health went down. I don’t know why it should bother her.” Mira tried to talk about the puzzle so that Alex asks more about it and she could say everything to him. Maybe this is the right time.


    “Why don’t we go there and meet her tomorrow?” Alex asked as Mira beamed in happiness. Maybe telling him in person would not be so effective as making a drama with everyone. She agreed instantly.


    “Edward?” Alex heard her voice from the kitchen. He slowly walked to the ce to see whom she was talking about Edward.


    “No, I am not following Edward,” ra replied to someone over the phone, making Alex curious about the conversation. Follow Edward?


    “I don’t want to suspect him” her words started to worry him as he entered and stood just beside her to finish her talk so that he could ask about it.


    “Jason, just be there till Edwardes so that the girl can be safe. Other than that, we should not get involved. He knew what to do and when to do” ra informed Jason and that’s it. Alex grabbed her instantly feeling agitated that she was discussing something important with that guy and more importantly it was about his friend. Why does it have to be Jason and not him?


    “Can you exin to me?” Alex asked, grabbing her to the side room which is too small for them to stand as it’s mainly for storing things.


    “As if I will,” she replied when she pushed him to go.


    “What were you talking about Edward with that guy?” Alex stressed the word that guy rather than Edward. It’s obvious that he is not interested in knowing about his friend other than to know what she was talking about with Jason.


    “Mr Smith, you are hurting me,” ra yelled at him and he realized his grip over her arms.


    He grabbed her phone and saw the lock.


    “Give back my phone” she yelled, not wanting him to try the lock. He dodged it and raised his hands over her head. She is too short and he loves it whenever he snatches things from her. He typed his birthday and it’s unlocked.


    Two minutes of silence as they red at each other. He didn’t expect that but his little heart jumped in joy.


    “It’s not like that. Every time I changed the password, I forgot the pin. So I…” She mumbled without having any words to exin the thing. Why should she have the lock in the first ce? Damn her fate.


    He called Jason directly without minding her exnations


    “Hey, ra. Edward is here and you know? He is hugging that girl. Oh my God. The girl is crying now.” Jason is now fully panicked exining the situation there. Alex was shocked to hear those.


    “Edward with another girl?” Alex gasped realizing the situation. The shocker is just how calm ra is even after knowing that.


    “Listen, it must be a misunderstanding,” ra replied calmly.


    “And how can you be so sure?” Alex now got curious about her guts.


    “I trust Edward.” Her opinion is very neat and clear. She doesn’t want to say anything more. She doesn’t want to suspect him. She knew him for one whole year and a single moment is all needed to gain his trust from her.


    For Alex, it didn’t go well. How can she trust Edward just like that?


    “He is hugging that girl and that’s what your joker friend just now told me” Alexmented to stop her from moving further.


    “First of all, he is not a joker friend. His name is Jason and secondly, I trust Edward means I trust himpletely. I will never doubt even if I see him with the world’s beautiful girl all alone in a room.” She red at him to get his senses back.


    “By the way, don’t you trust your friend?” She asked, crossing her arms.


    Doubting Edward means doubting his friendship. Alex can never do that. He knew about Edward like water. But right now it’s not the matter. He didn’t like when ra trusted him. When did they bothe closer?
