The door of maverick's bedroom knocked making him wake up from his slumber, he didn't sleep all night because he couldn't sleep and kept thinking about what he did or what he should do next.
He walked towards the door and unlocked it, there was Alba standing outside at the door.
"Alba?" He whispered confusingly, "i want to talk to you." he nodded nervously and let her come inside, his room was messy, he made space for her and himself for sit and looked at Alba while she looked at him after a deep sigh.
"Maverick," she paused, "i know, you and dad were never in a father-son relationship, but i know that you respects me and think of me as your elder sister, right?" She asked, he nodded his head in agreement.
"i know, this is your personal matter but i think you're— you're being cruel to yourself and as well as to Alethea." Alba said with furrowed eyebrows, maverick sighed and looked away from his sister but she held his hand and made him look at her again.
"I've heard all your conversation at the rooftop last night." She said making Maverick smirk sarcastically and sadly, "Maverick, please, if you love her—" , "WHO SAID I LOVE HER!?" he shouted and stood up, while Alba gulped before standing up in-front of him.
"i saw it in your eyes last night, after the conversation and what she said to you, you were literally lost in her words while being in the party." She said calmly with worry in her eyes, he shook his head vergously with tears in his eyes that didn't fall.
"Andrew told me the way you cared about her, and the way she glared at Andrew when he badmouthed about you, you both love each-other, why can't you under—" alba paused as Maverick went near her face while bending as he was taller than her.
"i don't deserve to be loved, i don't know the meaning of love, then how can I fall in love?" her eyes escaped tears as she heard him say this.
"Dad, look what i drew!" ten years old Andrew ran towards his father jacob to show him the drawing he drew, "Look mines too dad." Sixteen years old Alba also sat beside her father to show him, her drawing.
Their father praised their drawings and suddenly a voice was heard, "D-Dad.." it was ten years old Maverick holding his drawing notebook in his hands, Jacob looked up at him with glary eyes, "what?" Jacob asked harshly making maverick flinch.
"i-i also d-drew." He stuttered, "You can't draw better than me." Andrew said and tore the drawing page of Maverick, "Andrew, you shouldn't have done that!" Alba scolded her younger brother.
Maverick glanced at the tore page on the floor and then pushed Andrew backwards which made him fall on the ground, suddenly Jacob stood up and slapped Maverick.
"You know, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BELOVED! YOU'RE A BRAT! GO AWAY!" Jacob yelled as Maverick ran away while crying.
Alba's tears fell down after thinking about the moment from their childhood, when maverick and Andrew were competitive kids.
She could not speak back after hearing what Maverick just said— "i don't deserve to be loved, i don't know the meaning of love, then how can I fall in love?"
He had reasons to say that, the things was settled in his head that he wasn't capable of love, he don't deserve this even when he does, he have his right to fall in love with someone in his life, he walked in the bathroom to get ready for university leaving Alba alone shedding tears.
—
Hanging her bag pack on her left shoulder, she jogged downstairs and was going towards the front door to exit for university when her granny asked her about breakfast, "I'm not hungry, granny." With that she sat in the car and told the driver to drive to the university.
came out from the car, she looked at her right side and saw Maverick putting his helmet on his motorbike, he looked at her and she looked away and walked inside the campus.
Maverick felt bad that her eyes were cold for him while his were soft, he was confused that what was going on his heart, he walked in the university too.
