It was a sunny day, Ash was working as usual, and Angel is in her room shopping the latest trends of clothing on internet. Her dad was out on a meeting. Suddenly, the front gate knocks from where Ash and Angel life is going to change upside down.
Ash opened the door, a postman carrying a box asked him, "Is Miss Angelina there? ''
"Yes sir what can I help you?''
The postman handed him the box and asked him to give it to Angel. Ash took the box and thanked him. Ash called the maid many times but there was no reply.
'' I should go inside and give her the box maybe the box is important for her'' he murmured.
He walked inside with a hard beat in his heart. He started stepping the stairs one by one. By each stair he started remembering the past when he was talking and playing with Angel. And again He just tried to concentrate on his way.
He arrived to her room and knocked the door, "Angelina are you inside? Can I come in?'' he asked.
"Come in''
Ash opened the door and in a sudden just when he saw her face with her smile he just felt something saying to him, "Hey Ash why don't you return to her and become friends again and maybe lovers''
Angel waves her hands on Ash face, "Ash hey Ash where are you!''
Ash woke up, "Oh sorry Angel I was just thinking of something. Here take this, the postman said for me to give it to you''.
She took the box and opened it, "Oh see this Ash. This is my favorite movie let us see it together now, I missed the days when we were spending time together, come on lets watch the movie together.''
Ash feels the beat again.
"Oh no Angel you know if your dad comes, he will deduct my salary and will put you in many problems.''
"Come on Ash I feel bored and my dad is in a meeting which means he will come late, so until that we can watch the movie please. Please, Ash no one will discover that''.
At last Ash accepted and they sat on the sofa, Angel inserted the CD in her laptop and the movie began…
Later the movie ended, Angel looked at Ash when he was going out of her room door, "Thank you for watching with me, mmm... do you know that I missed you Ash? ''
She closed the door.
At that moment Ash said to himself, "Did she listen me when I felt her smile? No, no that's impossible. Did she really missed me? Does she love me as much I love her? Oh stop Ash of thinking thoughts like these. Angel has started her own life and maybe even she have her own boyfriend''
Ash was stepping down from the stairs and suddenly he heard the voice of Angel's dad, he was going to run upstairs. But the conversation made him to wait and listen,
"Oh sir sorry for not calling you again...oh yes as we talked before, Angel will see the boy and she will decide. You know if I let Angel marry she should marry a noble person of her status. Ok sir bye see you after three days ,oh yes sir this is a secret even Angel doesn't know, you know if I told her she will refuse like the other boys I brought for her, ok see you sir goodbye''
Here suddenly Ash said to himself "yes she loves me, she didn't forget me, until now she have the old feelings''
A big smile shined his face suddenly again and a scared face came again, "Oh I forgot! How I will return outside? Her dad is here, oh my God! I am in a big trouble, if he sees me he will kill me''
Now Ash ran up again and knocked Angel's door again .when she opened the door her eyes were red like she was crying.
Ash without asking her about her eyes, "Oh Angel help me''
Angel wiped her tears from her eyes. "What happened Ash?''
''Your father is downstairs, he will kill me if he sees me please help me Angel''
Angel was confused, she let Ash get inside her room and closed the door firmly and turned around, "See Ash you should stay here until my dad is out understand?''
Ash nodded ok.
Angel went downstairs, she kissed her father, "Hey dad today you came early than usual, something wrong?''
"no darling everything is ok ,oh I forgot to tell you after three days we will have dinner with my friend and his daughter in the restaurant and I thought of taking you with me ,ok?''
"Ok daddy no problem, I will come. Dad, do you have any schedule today after now?''
"No, why are you asking?''
Angel worried but gave him a fake smile, "Oh nothing, nothing''.
Ash was in the room walking around and exploring her room. It was a colorful room but the most used color was yellow and red
He said to himself smiling "until now she loves the colors we both like, yellow and red''
He laid down on the floor to not make her furniture dirty and when he turned his face to the bed he saw a purple box under it. Staring at it, he took it out and opened it. Suddenly he found his favorite shirt, his photos with her and alone. The strange was that his single photos were of recent days.
"How did she took me a photo while I was not with her?'' he exclaimed
When he started to dig more in the box he found a medium sized diary he had given her before. He opened it, it was full of written notes. He started reading from a random page.
Ash I missed you so much. I wish you could hear me I don't know why I feel that there is something missing after we left each other. You are the only person who I can trust, and the only person I have. Ash I love you even if you are not near me .I wish we could return back as before. I know you also have loved me before but I don't know your present feelings and I wish I could know because I will not live with any person other than you. I pray to God from the bottom of my heart to let a chance make me show you all my feelings.
A drop of tear dropped down from his eyes on the diary
''God made the chance to let me know your feelings towards me but I am sorry Angel, you are going to live with a better person after three days.'' He murmured
He heard footsteps sound and in a hurry he returned everything to the box, closes the box and returned the box under the bed. At that moment Angel opened the door and found Ash laid on the floor
"Hey what happened Ash why are you lying on the floor? ''
He stood up "no nothing, I just tried not to make your furniture dirty''
She laughed "oh no problem you will not to make my furniture dirty''
Her face looked nervous "you should stay and sleep this night here in my room, understand?''
"No, no Angel, I should go down I cannot sleep in your room even if you are my friend, you are my boss daughter and I should respect you''.
"Ohf, till now it's hard to make you accept things. listen Ash, my dad have nothing on his schedule today so he will not get out and will not leave from the living room. So now it's your choice to stay and sleep this night or get out to meet your end.''
She gave him a half smile
Here Ash felt frightened of getting down and accepted to sleep in her room.
Angel smiled, "U will sleep with me on the bed because I don't have a sofa. If you want to sleep on the floor it's your choice but there is no pillow or blanket.''
It was night, Angel opened her closet and found a yellow sleepwear and turned to Ash, "Wear this I don't have any other, and it's of your favorite color, what a luck''
She threw the clothes on him and went to the wide bed and brought some pillows in the center, "Here it is, I finished the bed now I will just change my clothes and I will also be done''
She took her pajama and went to her own bathroom that was inside the room itself, closed the door and then shouted from there, "Hey Ash don't wait for me, change your clothes there''
Ash amazed "and what if you see me naked?''
She laughs "stop that, I will not open the door before asking you and even if I opened the door you are a man and that's no problem "
Ash started changing in front of the long closet mirror and while he was changing his shirt, he saw Angel from the mirror slowly opening the door and staring at his amazing chest and abs.
He smiled a little bit and whispered to himself, "let her see as much as she wants''
Both wore their pajamas and went to bed. Both were laid on their backs on the bed with the pillows in the center.
Ash smiled to himself thinking of the box, "She wanted a coincidence for me to see this box .I know this was not the perfect time but it is a good one. Who could ever think of me sleeping with Angel on the same bed after seeing the box after these long years?'' Ash murmured
Suddenly he realized that Angel hasn't slept yet, "Angel are you awake till now?''
"Yeah I used to sleep late in the night but just for you I slept early today. Hey Ash let's talk about something, maybe I can sleep after.''
"What do you want us to talk about now?''
Angel smiled "u know I was just remembering now about our childhood and when we were close friends.''
"Yeah they were nice memories''
"Do you think memories can return and make us close friends again?''
Ash was shocked of the question but answered simply, "maybe, I don't know only if luck wants to, can make us return back''
And they continued to remember past days and their craziness at that time…
Soon Angel's eyes felt sleepy, "u know Ash I wish if we return friends again ''and she closed her eyes
Ash turned his face to check her, "I wish it to be soon and to make it more than being friends because I feel like I am in love with you'' he whispered and closed his eyes.
