If I loved you

Unconditional love means no strings attached

More than 5 minutes have passed but no one spoke a word. I wanted to say many things to him but got tongue tied in this crucial moment. New was sitting on the bed staring at the wall, I was standing at the side watching him attentively.

'What are you doing here?' New spoke first.

'My mother is admitted to this hospital.'

He took a quick glance at me and then again kept staring at the wall. I was thinking about what more to say when a knock sounded on the door.

'Young master....your coffee.'

Shit! Those boys are back!

'I won't go without a fight so if you are not afraid of making a scene then go ahead and let them see me here. They are from our orphanage right? I want to meet them too.'

New glared at me but I sensed his defeat. He is not gonna let them see me.

'I don't want to drink coffee anymore. You guys can have it.' He shouted angrily.

'Sorry......the que was long.... young master...'

'Is Luke back yet?'

'No. He called and said that he will be late.'

'Hm.'

'Young master..... your coffee...'

'I don't like to repeat myself.'

'Ye....yes... young master.'

After that the room again fell into dead silence.

'Let me rephrase my question. What are you doing in this country?' After a few minutes he spoke again.

'Oh. I am here to do business.' I replied innocently.

'Why? Wasn't USA a good place to start a business?' He gave me a questioning look.

'I wanted to be here. Why? Can't I? I want to be a successful businessman......just like you.' I smiled brightly.

'You can try but.......you won't succeed. Not in here.' He looked away.

'Why's that?'

'I won't let you.'

'What do you mean?'

'Go back to your own world and live your life with your loved ones happily and peacefully. This place is not suitable for you.'

'It's a free country.'

'Do you want to be my rival?'

'I want to be your best friend. Just like we were in the past.'

'But I don't want to.'

'New....'

'Was't I clear enough to express my thoughts when we parted ways years ago? I told you then and I am telling you now, I don't want you in my life.'

'I believed you then but I don't believe you now.'

'And why's that?'

'I am mature enough to distinguish between fake and real feelings.'

'You think what I said or did was all fake? Huh? You are still very naive.'

'I am not naive.'

'You are pissing me off. I gave you enough time to talk your heart out. Now get lost.'

'Call the guards and let them drag me out then, because I am not leaving otherwise.'

'I don't know why you are pestering me so much. Don't tell me you still have feelings for me!'
