Alex sat in the cafe, lost in his thoughts. The weight of Aleena's sadness lingered in his mind, casting a somber atmosphere around him as he stared into the distance.
"Here's your iced latte, sir," the waiter said, breaking Alex's contemplation as he handed over the chilled beverage.
The clink of the glass on the table echoed the contrast between the cool drink and the warmth of Alex's pensive demeanor.
Alex nodded absentmindedly, offering a faint smile in gratitude. As he took a sip, the cold liquid provided a momentary distraction from his deep thoughts.
However, the cafe's ambient chatter and the gentle hum of espresso machines only served as a backdrop to the profound solitude that enveloped him.
"Hey mate," Sam said, breaking the silence that clung to Alex's contemplation.
The sound of a familiar voice brought a subtle shift in the atmosphere, momentarily pulling Alex back into the present moment.
"Hi... I texted you half an hour before, and you're 1 hour late," Alex said angrily. His frustration echoed through the words, underscoring the impatience that simmered beneath the surface.
"Sorry, I was busy with library works," came the apologetic response.
"Okay, don't beat around the bush. You don't call me for something silly. What do you want from me?" Sam asked, injecting a hint of humor into the inquiry, attempting to lighten the mood.
Alex scratched his nape, a nervous gesture betraying the seriousness underlying his call. The atmosphere hung in anticipation as he hesitated before finally voicing his request to Sam.
"Uhm... Can you tell me about Warner?" Alex asked, shifting the conversation to a more serious tone as he sought information or insights about Warner.
"Why do you wanna know about him?" Sam asked, his tone a mix of curiosity and amusement, sensing there might be more to Alex's interest in Warner than a simple exchange of information.
"I just wanna know, please tell," Alex pleaded, his earnestness adding a touch of vulnerability to the request as he awaited Sam's response.
"Okay, fine. I will tell," Sam conceded, a mischievous glint in his eye, ready to share the information that Alex sought about Warner.
"But before that, I need something to drink," Sam said cheekily, a playful grin on his face.
"Okay, fine," Alex grumbled, a subtle hint of impatience in his voice. Soon, Sam's ordered drink arrived, breaking the suspense in the air as the waiter placed it on the table. The clink of glasses signaled a moment of reprieve before delving into the tale about Warner.
"His full name is Aaron Warner. He has such a demeanor that attracts everyone on this planet. When I first met him, I kinda shivered in his gaze. But after getting to know him through Aleena, I found out that he's a softie to Aleena but not to everybody," Sam said, providing a glimpse into the intriguing character of Aaron Warner.
Alex listened with subtle possessiveness, his curiosity about Warner now accompanied by a guarded interest as he absorbed Sam's description of the enigmatic figure.
"He is the CEO and founder of A&W Enterprises. He's a current popular figure in our country, but surprisingly, he doesn't have that egoistic nature. He lives in his mansion all alone, and sometimes his parents visit him during business meetings," Sam continued.
"When Aleena and him started dating, I saw it with my own eyes – he treated her like a flower, cherished her like that. They don't even fight nor have any misunderstandings. Boyyy, he doesn't even look at another girl other than Aleena," Sam shared, painting a picture of a seemingly idyllic relationship between Aaron Warner and Aleena.
"But why did he leave her?" Alex asked, his inquiry hanging in the air, a mixture of curiosity and concern evident in his tone as he delved into the complexities of Aaron Warner's relationship with Aleena.
"I don't know, but after the breakup, he met me and said, 'Protect her with all your strength. She is just like a...'" Sam paused, leaving the sentence unfinished, a hint of mystery lingering as he shared.
"She is just like a fragile rose, easily bruised by the thorns of life," Sam added, completing the sentence with a poetic touch, emphasizing the delicate nature of Aleena as described by Aaron Warner.
Sam continued, "He feared the world might not treat her as gently as he did, and he wanted someone trustworthy to watch over her. It was an odd request, but I couldn't refuse a friend in need." The weight of Aaron's concern for Aleena echoed in Sam's words.
"As time went on, I realized Aaron's worry was not unfounded. Aleena faced storms that tested her resilience. Yet, through it all, she remained a beacon of strength. Aaron's plea to protect her became a commitment I couldn't break," Sam explained, a sense of duty evident in his recounting of their shared journey with Aleena.
"The breakup was a painful chapter for both of them, leaving scars that lingered. Yet, Aaron's love for Aleena persisted in this unconventional form of protection, and I found myself becoming a silent guardian, navigating the complexities of her world," Sam added, the narrative delving deeper into the intricate dynamics that unfolded after the separation between Aaron and Aleena.
After listening to Sam's detailed account, Alex took a deep breath and said, "It's quite a tale. Aleena's strength and Aaron's unconventional way of caring – it's both heartbreaking and oddly beautiful. I appreciate you being there for her, Sam. It's a unique bond forged in the complexities of life."
"Now I really wanna meet him in person and understand his side of the story," Alex confessed, a newfound curiosity and empathy evident in his words after hearing the intricacies of Aaron Warner's relationship with Aleena.
Sam was shocked, and he said, "But it's not easy to meet him. Warner is a private person, and breaking through that barrier might take some effort. Are you sure you want to pursue this?"
Alex nodded determinedly, "I think it's worth a shot. Understanding his perspective might bring some closure for Aleena, and who knows, maybe it could mend things between them. I'm willing to give it a try."
Sam mumbled, "Don't you love her? Why would you do this?" The question hung in the air, probing the motives behind Alex's sudden interest in delving into the complexities of Aleena's past with Aaron Warner.
Alex sighed, "Love is a complex thing, Sam. Right now, it's not about me; it's about helping Aleena find closure. If meeting Warner can bring her peace, it's a step worth taking. Sometimes, love means putting someone else's needs above your own." His words carried a sense of selflessness and understanding.

In another side of the area, Aleena was sitting in a cafe, her fingers delicately wrapped around the warm coffee cup. The ambiance around her echoed a quiet contemplation, as she gazed out the window, lost in her own thoughts.
Suddenly, she saw Warner stepping out from the car while talking on the phone. Aleena's heart raced as a flood of memories rushed back, realizing that it had been a year since their breakup. The cafe's ambiance turned surreal, marking an unexpected intersection of their lives. Aleena couldn't help but wonder if fate had a role to play in this moment.
Aleena's eyes welled up with tears, a complex blend of happiness and sadness swirling within her. As she observed Warner, she couldn't ignore the paleness on his face, a stark contrast to the vibrant memories she held. Her heart raced, beating like crazy, torn between the emotions of the past and the reality unfolding in the present.
