Melodies Of Love

Chapter 4: Uncontrollable Emotions

Alex

I enter the hospital again, the smell of disinfectant hitting my nose. I don't know why but I wish to see her again, talk to her again, look at those blue eyes again, ask for her name.. but I've gotta maintain my professionalism to my career. It's a good thing that this hospital is in a remote area and not much of my fans are here. We made sure that the media doesn't get a hint of my brother's accident nor of the hospital that he's in, otherwise there would have been a queue of ton of people waiting outside to see my brother and reveal his damn identity. I don't know why he's obsessed with keeping it secret in the first place, it's such a chore for our family. Anyways I removed my cap and mask as I entered, went straight to the elevator hoping that she'll be in the elevator again even though I can't handle the conversation with her. The elevator doors opened with a ting and to my surprise I was disappointed not finding her there again, even though I had rudely closed the door on her face the last time we met not wanting to continue the talk. So what was up with me now, what are these weird feelings? I sighed and entered the elevator and pressed the button to my brother's VIP room, only to enter to find him all happy and blushing, grinning from ear to ear. I was baffled. "Ay what's up with you? You got a fever that crawled up to your head or something?" I asked not understanding his sudden plunge of emotions. "Oh hey Alex you're here already? Damn why didn't you come earlier!! You would've met her too!" My brother said squealing. "Met who?" I said to which he replied having that nostalgic drunk look on his face "My first love, the person I didn't forget for 11 years, the face I was yearning to see all those years.. those eyes, that voice.. I craved for it all this time. Who knew I just had to break my leg to get to see her? Haha." Not gonna lie I was about to call a mental hospital because I never saw my brother like this. "Wow, love sure makes you crazy man.. and what did you say? 11 years.. Woah woah then why did u leave in the first place huh? So does she like you too or what?" I asked and I immediately felt his face saddening. "I don't know. I don't think she ever did, it was always one sided, she treated me the way I was never treated when we were children. She had no biases against me, treated me well not just because I came from a multi-millionaire family. She probably didn't even know what that meant because unlike others her parents didn't tell her to go make friends with me for my parent's money. She was.. different. She was like a ball of sunshine."
He reminisces with a hint of wistfulness in his voice, recalling the quirks and charms of his past flame. With a smile playing at the corners of his lips, he probably recounts their adventures together in his mind, silly inside jokes shared over late-night snacks. Despite the casual tone, his affection for his first love shines through, as he shares snippets of their story with me.
Listening to his story I nodded and teased "Okayyy Mr lovebird, how about you give it a shot. Since you saw her visiting someone in the hospital she'll probably be back again, talk to her then. And try not to be this lovesick when u talk to her you might end up driving her away." I advised.. a snicker escaping my mouth.
"Haha nah I ain't got a chance with her. But! As you wish , I'll try to get her to be mine" he said grinning "Oh but, what if she already has a boyfriend or a crush on somebody else??" He said whining to me and at this point I was getting annoyed with all the love talk. "Omg! Shut the hell up! Just steal her away with your damn charm okay? Now quit with the lovey dovey talk" I said annoyed. And saw my brother's expression... Like a small baby who got scolded. "Gah, stop with those eyes, where'd you learn it?! You know what? I'm leaving, it was such a waste of time, anyways you'll be out of here in 2 days and I'll be leaving for Brazil in another 3 days after your discharge. Mum already talked to a caretaker for you at home. I suppose I don't have anymore business staying here and listening to you dream, so I'll get going." Saying this I dashed out before my brother could open his trap again. I headed out for my car, wearing my cap and mask again and started the engine and made my way to my usual route. I thought of stopping at the coffee shop but it was a rush hour and there'll be a lot of people there. Shrugging I thought I'll just get it somewhere near from my place and as I was passing by looking at the shop from my car as expected crowded, I spotted her. Sitting near the window with a large cup of coffee, with her laptop and papers scattered at her table. I thanked God for the first time for the traffic. I sat there in the traffic looking at her, she had her dusky blonde hairs in a beautiful ponytail with some strands dangling at her face. She looked like a goddess sitting in there working. "That's it I can't control it, I have to talk to her" was my last thought before I parked my car in the nearby parking lot and walked up to the coffee shop.
