Susan and Jake reached a fine restaurant, settled on their seats, and ordered the food. Meanwhile, Susan was on her phone. Jake gazing at her, tries to ask her for help to find his Secret Admirer. Rationally, he thinks she might misjudge him if he tells her about her. He couldn't decide whether to say to her or not.
Susan noticed his hesitating about something, so she took the initiative and asked him directly, "Do you have something to say?" and continued, "we're friends, right?" he nodded to her in response. She said, "Then, don't hesitate."
Jake said, "I need your help."
She smiled slightly and replied, "I wonder, how can I help you? If it's in my will, I do."
Jake relaxed after hearing her willingness to help him gladly, "I have an anonymous friend whom I was in search of, don't know where to start. Aaron suggested that she might be around me. When I looked into my surroundings, I couldn't see her in any of them. What should I do?"
After hearing him, she smiled gently, answered by taking his hand in hers and placing it on his chest, "Don't stress your mind. Just listen to your heart, and follow. You can feel the vibe when she is around you."
She paused and continued after a few seconds hesitating, "I think she is someone special to you. Do you like her?" anxiously waiting for his response.
Jake was startled for a moment, doesn't want to give her a hint about his feelings for his anonymous friend. No, his secret admirer with whom he has a crush, "Do you think I am?" asked her, curious to know her response.
"I think you are. If not, you won't try to know who she is. You would be carefree. However, so many girls around you were waiting for a chance to be with you, but you never been serious about them and never gave them a chance. You are into her. So, you want to find her. Am I right?" she said, looking straight into his eyes. Their food was placed on their table.
Jake turned his eyes from her to his food on the table and had a bite of steak with his fork, chuckled, wondering how can she read his mind exactly.
"What if____?" Jake turned his gaze at her as she was about to say something.
She dared to put her question in her mind in front of him. She hesitated, "What if she is average by her looks compared to pretty girls around you? Would you like her the same way as now? Or else, you give up on her because of her looks."
He took a few minutes and replied, "I don't know. I think if I am really into her, looks don't matter. If it didn't work with her, I would like to be a good friend to her."
Somewhere, Susan is not satisfied with his answer. He is still not clear about his feelings. But she thought she still had a chance.
"What if you were in her place? would you accept me?" Jake questioned her.
"What there to think about? You are a nice guy with moral ethics, just influenced by your high-class society culture. Every person has good and bad in them. It doesn't mean they don't deserve to be loved." She answered without glancing at him and ate a steak with the fork.
Jake was surprised by her view towards him, sounding similar to her. For a moment, he doubted in his mind, 'Was it possible that she could be her?' staring at Susan.
She finished her lunch and asked him to return to the college as she had her classes. He dropped her at the college entrance.
Jake reached his apartment, got into his room, and searched for her letters, in which she wrote, 'I fell hard for you at my first sight. I admire your act of kindness which I witnessed recently.'
'I'm glad. Only I can see through an inside you, who was cute, kind, and thoughtful beyond his flirtatious behavior.'
'I wish it could be better if I reach you, but I couldn't. The distance between you and me is like the sun and moon. Still, I wish to see you grow into a better person.'
'All the best for your match. Don't forget I'm going to watch you and cheer for you.'
'It was a bad day for me. Nothing went in the way I wanted it to. I wish I could see you lift my ruined mood.'
'I could tell you about my feeling for you, which are eternal in my dreamland where I can see you daily and cherish my moments with you. Because you're my first love, I wish you to be my forever love.'
Jake read her letters once again, which made him smile. Her cute words of affection touched him deeply.
After long thinking, Susan's words made him doubt her as she might be her. He tries to compare Susan's personality to hers. She was cute, like a girl who fell in love for the first time, and a bit childish. But Susan looks mature and confident. Jake thought she couldn't be the person he was searching for. He thinks of finding another way to find her.
He was distracted from his thoughts when he got a call. He picked up his call and answered. It was from one of his team members, who asked him about the practice match for tomorrow. He agreed and asked him to inform Aaron too. He ended his call, preserved her letters in his drawer, 'hoping to meet her soon,' and walked out of his room.
Mr. Grady informed him as he saw him walking out of his room, "Sir asked you to visit him at home."
"Dad, called you?" he thought for a few seconds and answered, "Fine. I'll visit him." and left his apartment.
