His sharp eyes looking straight at them both burning like a flame, his heart flared, stirred his feeling to feel guilty and angry with himself, he had made the girl he love crying and gave another man to fill a space he belongs.
He did this because he worried Alesha would be hurt by his fiancé if she found out who Alesha was. So he decided to ignore her only to protect Alesha. But the fact that Alesha felt hurt only making him more regretted his act.
However, he knew well the character of Princess Silvia. That woman would not hesitate to do everything including hurt and harm any woman who could potentially become her rival.
His heartfelt sick when he saw her condition. And the thing that frustrated him was the existence of another guy who would be ready to replace his position who turned out to be his own best friend.
"Are they in any relation? How they could be so close?" He thought to himself. And then he closed his eyes, trying to calm down his raging feeling.
Alesha who still sobbed in her sadness rested her head in the man's chest. He gently ran his finger to Alesha's silky hair, still trying to make her felt better. Bella who had just arrived was surprised to see her friend's condition.
"What is happening to her?" she asked worriedly as she touched her shoulder. Meena just shrugged and shook his head not knowing Alesha's problem. The girl just kept in her silence although he had asked her what was happening.
Bella then looked at Alesha with a serious look.
"Alesha, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying as anybody has hurt you badly?" she asked again as she straightened her friend's position, making Meena took his hug off from Alesha's body and it made him felt displeased.
As for Alesha who had started to control her feeling, looked at Meena and thank him for his caring but he just smiled in response. She then puffed a heavy breath, still kept silent indicating that she wasn't fully recovered.
"If you are still not ready to talk, it is okay. It just that if you keep your problem for yourself, it only can make your condition even worse. So whenever you are ready just tell me freely. You know, I will never let you be sad." Bella said sincerely while wiping Alesha's tears.
"And whoever had made you like this, I will teach him a lesson," Meena added. his clenched and his black eyes glistening in anger.
Seeing Meena's reaction, Alesha smiled instead of pissed.
"You can't be an able fight against him." She said hit gently to his arm. Both Meena and Bella suddenly looked at her seriously.
"What did you say? Who did make you cry? Alesha, why didn't you say anything?" Meena asked curiously. He pissed off too because anyone did hurt the girl he loved and he couldn't protect her. Bella also gestured for Alesha to talk but Alesha still kept silent while bowed her head. She wouldn't say anything to anyone for now.
Suddenly Bella's phone rang, she answered and walked away. She then returned with a gloomy face and heavy breath because she must leave Alesha in her sadness due to the sudden call from her parents.
After Bella left, Meena just looked at Alesha who sat beside him with intense gazed, he didn't understand his own feeling. What this girl actually had that he wanted so badly to protect and even more love her. However, how many times he confessed her feeling but she kept refusing. Even so, his affection was even greater. And when he saw she cried like this, his heart felt heavy. He promised to save her and wouldn't let her be hurt again.
Both just kept in silence for several minutes before Alehsha looked up at his face. "Meena, why are so concerned about me?" she mumbled.
Seeing her innocent face and rounded eyes staring at him made him ran his hand to touch Alesha's face. Stroked it gently, "Because I love you, Alesha." Hearing his confession several times, Alesha could only bow her head. She didn't know what else should she replied to him to make him understand if she couldn't accept his love.
"Meena, you are a kind man. I like you as a best friend. I can't love you because I'm in love with someone else. But unlucky me, because I know the fact that he doesn't me love as I do. He even ignored me and took another woman as he showed me that he has no feeling at all." Finally, Alesha revealed all of his heart with tears rolling down her puffy red cheeks.
Seeing Alesha with her teary eyes, his heart even more heavy and sad, he didn't expect that jerk dared to hurt her by rejecting her love. In instant, his blood was boiling as much as his anger. He wanted to beat that bastard up until nothing left, but he quickly managed to control her emotion then smiled.
"It's okay, I understand your feeling now. I won't force you but if you need help to forget him, I will be the best man who can help you." He said holding Alesha's hand.
"Thank you, it's so kind of you." She smiled shyly. She lifted her face only to stare at Meen's face. That face was handsome that anyone would be fascinated by. He was also very kind and caring. He was charming. But, Alesha couldn't love him at all, her feeling towards him no more than just a friend.
"Tell me if you have satisfied with my good looking." Meena suddenly made a sound-making Alesha started from her daydreaming. She smiled while pinched Meena's arm.
"You…!" she pouted, Meena grimaced in pain and gripped her hand which was trying to pinch his arm again. They both then laughed out loud in happiness after that they left the place.
Meanwhile, the sharp eyes that had been watching over them, flared with anger. He looked at Alesha and admired her even more, how beautiful she was laughing. He was mad at himself because the person who made her happy was not him, on the contrary, he could only put sadness in her life.
Perhaps the best thing to do was just let her go to someone else. She took another deep breath, his mind was completely confused.
After arriving at the apartment,
"I'll come to pick you up tomorrow, just wait for me. Don't think too much. Okay? I'm leaving." Meena said goodbye, ruffling her silky hair gently, and left her standing alone. Alesha took a deep breath then entered in. She headed towards the bedroom and went straight to the bathroom.
Her tired body relaxed instantly as the warm water poured out. Her slender body looked beautiful in splashing water. the flow soaked all the curves of her beautiful body. Shortly thereafter, she came out using only a short towel as usual which only covered her intimate body parts.
She didn't worry about it as she lived alone after all. Servants would leave after their job was done so there would be nobody to worry about. She casually walked out of the room still with her tiny towel on her body.
She then went to the living room to pick up her bag that was left there. After that, she stepped back into the bedroom. But out of a sudden, a man's voice echoed in the room.
"You are so beautiful," she froze on the spot and turned towards the source of the sound. Her breath seemed stopped for several moments as her heart drummed dramatically when she saw a man standing with hands crossed over his chest.
She was getting tensed when that man walked towards her with his smirk. Her body trembled in fear. Reflexively she clutched tightly the towel wrapped around her chest.
"y..you..?!" she stammered as she stepped back until her back hit the wall. She saw George steady striding up towards her. His keen eyes seemed to radiate something that made her chills.
She could only swallow hard and hold her breath when she felt his warm breath over her face.
"Tell me, how did you get in?" she asked as she tightened her grip on her towel.
George didn't reply, he just stared at Alesha unblinking. His hand then touched her wet hair and tucked it behind her ear so the natural beauty of her was more even visible. George's heart pounding hard when he saw her so innocent and hot, but he tried to control his feelings.
"Don't you know that the entire building is mine and I automatically have access to enter it?" He said smiling mischievously.
'But it doesn't mean you can just barge into someone's apartment without permission, especially if the owner is a woman. Oh, or are you one of those people who like to sneak into the rooms and peek at them?!" Alesha said and tried to push George's body, but of course, he didn't budge.
