The rain had slowed down… but the air was still filled with a soft, lingering dampness, as if it was hiding a secret. 🌧️
Aiza stood near the window, her fingers gently tracing patterns on the glass. Her heart felt restless… like something was about to happen.
"Why are you so quiet today?"
A voice from behind broke her thoughts.
She slowly turned around… and her eyes met his again. ❤️
Same eyes… same soft smile… but today, there was something different in them.
"Nothing… just like that," Aiza replied, avoiding his gaze.
He stepped closer… slowly… until there was almost no space left between them. 💓
"It's never 'just like that,' Aiza… there's always something."
Her heart started beating faster. She had never imagined he would come this close… close enough that every word of his would reach straight to her soul.
"You won't understand…" she said softly.
"Then make me understand," he smiled.
For a moment, everything stopped…
The rain, the wind, even time itself.
"I… I want to stay away from you…"
It wasn't easy for her to say this.
He looked surprised. "Why?"
Her eyes filled with tears.
"Because when you're near… I get scared… that I might… fall in love with you…" 💔
Those words were the hardest she had ever spoken.
Silence filled the space between them.
Then he smiled gently…
"You're already late, Aiza…"
She looked at him, confused.
"I've already fallen in love with you…" ❤️
Her heart skipped a beat… then started racing so fast she could hear it herself.
"Are you… telling the truth?" she whispered.
"Since the first day of rain," he replied softly.
A faint smile appeared on her lips… her eyes still glistening with tears — but this time, they were tears of happiness. ✨
In that moment, neither of them spoke…
But they both understood everything.
The rain started pouring heavily again…
As if the sky itself was celebrating their love. 🌧️💙
