Synopsis
After ten years apart, two childhood friends reunite, but their once-vivid bond feels faded and distant. What remains is a faint connection neither can fully understand. As they navigate their new realities, one of them begins to recover long-buried memories that may hold the key to reigniting their relationship. Will they uncover what truly binds them, or are some connections destined to remain fragments of the past? "Memories are the silent footprint of the past, guiding us through the present." "A lost memory is the forgotten fragment of time, hidden but truly never gone." The golden hues of the setting sun danced on the waves, casting a warm glow over the beach. Alice and Noah stood at the water's edge, the cool sand grounding them as the world around them seemed to blur. Their eyes locked—a deep, unspoken connection passing between them, carrying an ocean of emotions too heavy to name. “Alice,” Noah whispered, his voice almost lost in the gentle crash of the waves. She didn’t waver, her gaze steady. “There’s so much we’ve left unsaid, Noah. So many secrets we’ve buried. Don’t you think it’s time we face them?” He let out a shaky breath, his fingers brushing his temple as if trying to make sense of it all. “I know,” he said, his voice strained. “But not now. I… I just need a moment. It’s too much to take in.” The silence that followed was both heavy and fragile, like the pause before a storm. Yet, in that fleeting instant, neither looked away, both silently acknowledging the unspoken truths that had yet to surface.

Chapter 1 - Noah POV

The moon is a single ray of light that shines brilliantly in the pitch-black night sky.Even though the moon is by itself,its bright light fills the heavens and captivates the gaze of those who share its sense of isolation. Despite its beauty, there is a melancholy undertone to its light which serves as a reminder of the vast emptiness all around

The world appears to stop beneath its radiance shrouded in a subdued sadness. The moonlight provides a silent companionship to the lonely souls below.In the silence of night it speaks to them in a whisper,sharing in their dreams and unspoken sorrows

Lost in the depths of endless thoughts, I gazed at stars above

The cold night air brushed against my skin,grounding me in the present ,distant hum of the city was a faint reminder of the world outsides my solitude

"Once stars above twinkling with promise,they now lit dimmed with the heartbreak"

The phone rang,pulling me back to reality.I picked it up and whispered. "Hello"

"Noah,I'm standing outside your house".harry said on the other end.

"I'm coming". I repiled,cutting the call

With a deep sigh,I stood up,left the balcony and headed downstaris .Opening the door,I found harry waiting.He flashed a smile and i stepped aside,inviting him in

"Hope i didn't disturb you".harry said settling into the living room couch."It's couch."It's Related to work"

" Not at all ".I assured him." Did you meet with Mr. Jackson from the Investment group? What did he say?"

"He's interested in working with us after seeing our past but he still has doubts"harry said

"What exactly does he doubt?our work or our potential? I asked in a serious tone,raising my eyebrows.

"Maybe he thinks we can't meet his expectations ".Harry repiled,now serious,his eyes narrowed shadow dancing across his face

I knew he was angry about it we hate it when someone question our work or potential.Even though we don't want to work with him,it's for the company's sake and profit if it weren't for the company,I would never take on this project.

I released a frustrated breath,"So what now".

"He wants to meet you in person and i think you should definitely meet him,Should i arrange the meeting for tomorrow?" Harry said,waiting for my reply.

"He left me with no choice but to meet him",I said a hint of irritation crept into my voice .

"Well i think we should do out best and prove him wrong. It would really benefit our company on an international level"harry said reasoning with me.

"Okay arrange my meeting with him,Any other updates"I asked.

"The project with Miss Morgan officially closed today with a lot of benefits;it increased our sales."

We've been working on the collection with Miss Morgan,our biggest project. She's the second-best designer in New York City, and for the past six konths,all of our employees have worked day and night to make it successful.Finally our hardwork has paid off

"Goodwork! I'll arrange a team dinner tomorrow to celebrate this". I said

"Thank you noah" Harry said with an amused tone

I smiler at him. He is my personal assistant and out of everyone in the company, he's the one I can completely trust.He works with passion, and that's one of the things i admire about him

After discussing the project,a familiar worry crept back into my mind

" how about the girl I mentioned? Did you find anything?" With a hint of hope in my voice,I asked . I knew the answer would probably be the same,but i could not help but hold on even though i knew this small hope might be dashed

Harry's expression softened.He said with a hint of guilt "No,i did not find anything"

My heart sank,and there was a heavy silence in the room.It is difficult to describe the pain I felt because all i had were bittersweet memories of her

"Memories are the silent footprints of past,guiding us through the present "

"You should go now;it's getting late."I said,my voice softening

"Oh yeah,I should go" harry said,standing from the couch. I walked him to the door,and we said goodbye to eachother

As the sun's rays caressed the trees' leaves illuminating their emerald faces with a golden sheen,the coulds drifted softly through the sky like whispers of dreams long since forgotten.As i made my way to the cat,birds were flying freely overhead,their wings effortlessly gliding through the air.

Harry opened the door for me, and i sank into the seat,feeling the weight of the world pressing down on my shoulders

"Good morning sir".Harry said with a smile

"Good morning. What's my schedule for today?" I asked,my voice a mix of anticipation and dread.

"Today you have a meeting with Mr.Jackson and a celebration with Miss Morgan for the success of our project"he repiled

After some time,the car stopped in front of a grand building made entirely of glass,reflecting the sky's melancholy hues.With their guns in hand,the guards were waiting at the main door.One of them let us in, and we felt the icy floor beneath our feet as we entered the lobby.

As i entered ,everyone greeted me with w "Good morning sir." their voice a chorus of forced cheerfulness. I nodded and walked towards the elevator, each step echoing the hollow sound of my solitude.Pressing the button, the elevator doors opened with w soft chime,and i stepped inside,with harry following closely,his presence a silent comfort.

"When will our meeting with Mr.Jackson begin?" I inquired,my mind already racing with thoughts of impending discussion

"You have 15 minutes before the meeting starts".Harry responded

The elevator's gentle hum was a lullaby of progess as it rose smoothly. I looked out at the cityscape, which was monument to human ambition and the unseen battles that went on beneath its glistening exterior, A panoramic view was provided by the building's glass wall,with each window serving as a frame for distinct life story.

We make our way to the meeting room after the elevator stops. I walk in and say hello to the rest of our team."Good morning sir.how are you feeling today?" our company advisor asks.

"Good morning. I am good", I reply coldly and sit in the chair. " When are they coming" I ask impatiently.

"They will be here in 5 minutes" Harry says. Before i can ask anything else, Mr jackson arrives with his team
