My Secret Letter

06

Entering her home, Aumi carried with her a heavy sense of sadness, unable to shake off the guilt that weighed on her heart after watching Kyle drive away.

Despite her sincere explanation, she understood that Kyle's disappointment was inevitable. Alone in her room, she found herself replaying their conversation over and over, wondering if there was a gentler way to handle the situation.

While part of her wished for a different outcome, she recognized that honesty, however painful, was the only way forward.

With a deep sigh, she made a silent vow to give Kyle the time and space he needed to come to terms with his emotions.
Sighing, Aumi lay back on her bed, reaching for her phone to distract herself with social media for a while.

As Aumi scrolled through her social media feed, she received a notification message. Curious, she tapped on it to see what it was about. It was a message from an unknown person.

The message read, "Hey there! I stumbled upon your profile and thought I'd say hi. How's your day going?"

Aumi hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to respond to a message from someone she didn't know. But something about the message seemed friendly, so she decided to reply.

"Hi! My day's been alright, just a bit eventful. How about you?" she typed out, sending the message before she could second-guess herself.

As Aumi sent her reply, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of excitement at the prospect of chatting with someone new. She waited anxiously for a response, her curiosity piqued by the mysterious sender.

After a few moments, a reply popped up on her screen. "Glad to hear your day's been alright! Mine's been pretty good, thanks for asking. So, what made your day eventful?"

Aumi smiled at the friendly response and began typing out her reply, eager to continue the conversation and momentarily forget about the earlier encounter with Kyle.

"I'm glad, you've messaged me because I wanted to get my mind off things" She respond.

"Hey, I'm glad I could help take your mind off things," the unknown person replied. "So, what's been on your mind lately?"

Aumi hesitated for a moment, unsure of how much to share with someone she didn't know. But she felt a sense of comfort in the anonymity of the conversation.

"Just some personal stuff," she replied vaguely. "How about you? What do you like to do for fun?"

The unknown person's response came quickly. "I enjoy reading, listening to music, and exploring new places. What about you?"

Aumi smiled at the response, finding common ground in their interests. "I love reading too! Music is great for relaxing, and exploring new places sounds like fun, although I haven't done much of that lately."

The conversation flowed easily between them, and Aumi found herself enjoying the distraction from her thoughts. As they continued to chat, she couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the unexpected connection.

"So, what decided you to message me?" She asked responding back.

"I stumbled upon your profile and something about it caught my attention," the unknown person replied. "You seem interesting, so I thought I'd reach out and say hi."

Aumi smiled at the response, feeling a sense of warmth from the genuine compliment. "Well, I'm glad you did! It's nice to chat with someone new."
