The act of letting Harper go became so disturbing to Aiden that he had to hold an appointment with her privately in their usual spot that's around the school library. He was sitting under the tree awaiting her arrival. He also had his lecture notes in his hands while the lecture was ongoing in his department. At first he tried to attend, but his mind wasn't at peace. He spoke to himself, "If I do not speak out to her, I won't have peace of mind.She has to understand me. Yes, I know that I have delayed in saying this to her. " The actual time he agreed to meet with Harper arrived. She was coming along with Charlie, seeing that they were through with the lecture and test scheduled for the day. Harper branched a little to buy some oranges.
" Guy, you are not at lecture or you don't have lecture for the day," Charlie asked him, wondering what he was doing there alone with the belief that there was a lecture ongoing in his department.
" I don't feel like attending the lecture today. I prepared to spend the whole day talking to Harper." He replies.
" Hope there is no problem?" Charlie asked.
" Is between the both of us. I believe you will get to know the reason soon. Although I intend to have the discussion with her privately, you are not a stranger and I believe your help is also needed here, " he said to her, holding a branch of the tree.
Harper, who was attempting to purchase some oranges, quickly purchased them and joined them in their conversation.
" How far, buddy? Harper asked while trying to package her orange properly. " You requested that we meet here by this time. "I hope all is well, because my driver will soon be here to pick me up," she said.
" You see what I am saying? You have decided to love that lecture even after he has mocked your belief by using you to accomplish his aim. " He sounded angry.
"I don't get you.Where is this comment coming from, did anyone upset you, or what prompted you to speak in this manner? She asked him with eyes full of surprise.
"If anyone has annoyed me, that should be you". He answered.
" In what way, please tell me and I will apologize. Because I can't remember having a with you that made you sound so. " She told him
"The manner in which you are serious with Alexander gets me annoyed even with the fact that he......." He paused because he was interrupted by Harper.
"I believe I didn't do it with your body. This is Harper and not Aiden. It is me. Get that into your brain. I don't see why it has to be your business. Please, if you don't have anything to say, let me go. Instead of standing here and have you remind me of my past. "She hissed before him."
Aiden, right before her at Charlie present, without minding being in public, kneeled and said, " I started having feelings for you the very day I discovered that you are unique among the other girls on campus, but I didn't find it easy to say it out, rather I quenched the feelings because I was asked not to do so in fear of Alexander, including the reaction I might get from you." He also reminded her of the first day he tried speaking it out, which he failed at also.
"I don't understand you. What exactly are you talking about? She asked to be clear a bit more.
"Yes, I know that you are carrying his baby, which is based on a contract, a contract that happened due to circumstances." I also know you will soon give birth to his children and then leave him for good. My purpose here is to tell you how much I love you and am willing to be with you even after you have given birth. He sounded so mean with his face on Harper.
I'm sorry, it can't work between us. I have given him my heart. Alexander is the love of my heart. Moreover, you delayed in saying your feelings due to fears and other reasons known to you. So he was smart enough to get my love in any way he did. Meanwhile, I don't even know how to classify your type of human being because I remember vividly the very day you wanted to say so, but you kept struggling with it like someone struggling with death until we left for our various houses that day. " She paused and asked him. Please stand up before someone thinks you are trying to engage me. She assisted him by holding his hand to stand. I'm sorry, I can't love any man rather than my Alexander. Not even you can stop it. " She nodded her head as she dropped the word into his senses.
" Please think." How certain are you that he loves you?I believe he is just trying to use you more. " He sounded to her like he was trying to persuade her to leave Alexander.
" Mr.Man, I believe you heard her right. Both of them are already in love, which I told you about before. If I'm not mistaken, remember what Alexander told you; don't go beyond friendship. That's a summary of all he told you. So I think you should hold yourself and blame your cowardness that has made you lose her for him. Charlie advises him.
"I know if you had, you would have helped me out during my troubles, but I have to make myself a sacrificial lamb before him to get what I want without knowing that we would both be lovers. Just bear it dear, be for him and no one else, and don't forget to always speak your mind instead of conclusion. " She said to him, this time with advice.
" It was Neil's that discouraged me." He responded in tears.
" Don't blame anyone, rather blame yourself, and learn to accept your own part in the mistake." Charlie again advises him.
still talking when Harper driver arrived. " My driver is here, and if you don't mind, I would like to go home now." I am exhausted and need some rest before the day runs down. " Harper said to him, walking gently.
Charlie immediately tapped Aiden on the shoulder and asked him to remain calm, leaving him with this word. " Make your search somewhere else; she is not more available." After saying this, she quickly joined Harper in the car, and the driver drove them.
"It was all my fault. If I had said it before now, she wouldn't have been for Alexander. Meanwhile, I have learned to be bold enough to speak out even when I am not sure of a positive response. " He put his hands on his waist and head bowed and said the more " Just imagine how I lost a precious lady toAlexander simply because of my cowardice, but Aiden didn't try at all, he let me lose it all." Aiden asked said to himself, picking up his note book from the bench where he had dropped it and sat thinking of what he had done to himself.
