It was time to head back to home from cafe.
I got a little bit late today, due to work.
As soon as I came out of the gate of the cafe, a known car stopped in front of me.
It was Ray.

He came out hastily towards me and said ,"Why were you late today?"

I flinched a little by his sudden appearance. I looked at his eyes, the grey eyes full of the emotions looking at me, ready to pour all of it's affection at me.

Why haven't I noticed his eyes before!!
I thought in my head.

He again complained, "Jenn, I was worried for you."

I can sense the rawness in his voice , which was indicating that he indeed was worried .
He kept looking at me waiting for his answer, and I kept looking at him hoping to get my answers.

I said sacrificing my hopes,"There was more work today, so I got late."

He nodded then hold my hand and pulled me towards the car. He opened the car door for me and I sat inside. Then he also sat on the driver's seat and started driving.

I kept glancing him. I will never be able to understand him. His actions always left me in daze , which is very hard for my 1.5 kg weighing brain to understand.
The whole drive he kept asking random questions from me and I kept answering them in a word or two.

He suddenly stopped car outside a pizza shop. I looked at him in confusion.

He said ,"I'll bring pizza , do you want to eat anything else?"
I shook my in denial.

He said,"Okay, Stay here till I get back."
I nodded.

I was sitting alone in that expensive car which was beyond my imagination. Which I would never afford to sit in. This is not my place to be in. This is not where I should have been present right now. I should be walking alone on the silent road right now. I have stayed alone always then why the hell he entered in my life.

I can't express how my heart is slowly being pierced by the thought that he might leave me someday. He surely will leave me , I don't match his standards. I can never match his standards. And I know that a boy like him would never do all these things for a simple girl like me without any personal benefit.

And that feeling of being betrayed by the person who once care for us like eveything, kills the core of our inner self in such a way that we lost the ability to trust any other person again.
I don't want my heart to sink in such a chaotic sea of emotions which will not only drown me but choke me to death.

I am stuck in such a dilemma now , in which my innocent heart will get bruised either way.
If I confront him and break every ties with him then I know that I would never get anyone else who would care for me like he do.
But if I let things go how it is going then he might betray me in future or take advantage of me or break my trust. And this thing will slice my heart in such a way that no one would ever be able to cure it and the broken pieces of my heart will prickle me always reminding me of my mistake that I committed knowingly.

I was snapped out of my puzzled thoughts when my eyes felt on a bike that just parked at a distance.
It was Ryan's bike.
A girl and a boy were sitting on it.
The girl climbed down from the bike and the boy parked it further and joined the girl. When he removed his helmet then I got the full view of his face and I noticed that he was Aiden.

Oh !!!! It means that day too I saw Aiden when we came to eat ice cream and I thought that he was Ryan.

I was dragged out of my thoughts when Ray came back.
He sat inside and put the things in back seats and started driving.
Just when we drove away from there , I noticed Aiden looking at us with a confusing face.
But before he could do anything Ryan drove away from there.
