That person was Zain… Even though I could see that he was tired. I wonder what had been troubling him recently.
"Oh, hey there! Sorry if I startled you…" I said. He smiled upon seeing me.
"No problem. It's been a while. How've you been?" he asked. That was the first thing he did when seeing me.
Although I didn't reply immediately. Instead, I just gave him a smile. After a second of hesitation, I replied to his question.
"I'm alright…" I answered. I didn't know how to answer honestly.
Because it was true that I am alright. For now. But I don't know if I truly am alright for real. There was always something weighing on my mind… Even though I try to ignore it and keep telling myself that I will eventually feel better again…
But of course, I couldn't tell Zain about it… since he's not someone that should know about our problems or the stuff that we're going to face in the future.
