The Secret Symphony of Love

Part - 24

Alex's Office

Back at work, Alex is busier than ever with his responsibilities as the CEO. However, his thoughts constantly drift back to Siya, replaying their confessions. His assistant interrupts his thoughts with urgent paperwork.

Mason: Alex, these need your signature by the end of the day. Also, there's a board meeting in an hour.

Alex: (sighs, reluctantly focusing on work) Thank you,Mason. Let me know when the board members arrive.

He manages to work through his responsibilities, but in his heart, he's more eager to see Sia again. As he signs documents, he finds himself doodling her initials without realizing it.

Meanwhile, Siya is also dealing with mixed emotions back at her apartment. She's thrilled to be with Alex but anxious about Ethan.

Siya (thinking): I hope he just... leaves me alone. I don't want to deal with this.

Outside Siya's Music Institution

After a joyful morning with Alex, Siya returns to her music studio the evening, only to find a bouquet of roses and a note on the doorstep.

Note: "I'll wait for you, no matter what. You'll come back to me, Siya. -Ethan"

Siya's heart sinks. She thought the incident with Ethan was behind her, but it's clear he isn't ready to let go. She is scared and nervously calls Alex.

Siya: (on the phone, voice shaking) Alex... Ethan left flowers and a note. He says he's waiting for me.

Alex: (furious, but trying to sound calm) Stay there. I'm coming over.

Alex rushes to her institution, arriving within minutes. He clenches his fists, anger burning in his eyes as he examines the note. He decides to keep an even closer eye on Ethan, worried that Ethan's obsession with Siya may turn dangerous.

Alex: I'll make sure he never bothers you again, Siya. Trust me.

Alex drops her at apartment, assuring that she is safe, he is always be there to protect her!

Alex's Penthouse, Late Night

Alex enters his penthouse, lost in thought after leaving Siya's apartment. Seeing her shaken by Ethan's message had stirred something deep inside him a fierce protectiveness and a renewed determination. He's made up his mind: he's going to propose to Siya!!, to make her a permanent part of his life.

He paces around his living room, still battling the tension of how to tell her everything. Finally, he picks up his phone and dials Noah's number!

Noah's Apartment

Noah, lounging on his couch, is in the middle of a light-hearted evening with a girl by his side. Half Naked! Laughter and playful conversation fill the room.

Girl: (giggling) Ah...Noah, you naughty, AAAmmmmmmhhh!!!

Noah: (whispering) Ahhh.....Take it easy my girl, I'll show you heaven!

Suddenly his phone buzzes, disturbed from his activity, he raises an eyebrow, surprised to see Alex's name flashing on the screen.

Noah: (answering the call, still laughing a bit) Alex, buddy! What's up? It's late. Can't believe you're actually calling me at this hour.

Alex: (serious tone) Hey, Noah. Are you busy?

Noah: Busy? (Looks over at the girl beside him, who's playfully poking him) Well, kind of... but for you, I'm all ears. What's going on? Is everything okay?

Alex: (sighs, hesitant but resolved) I need your help with something important. I'm going to propose to Siya.

Noah: (surprised, suddenly very attentive) What?! Dude, you're really doing this? Finally! I knew you were head over heels, but I didn't expect you to actually pop the question so soon!

Alex: (smiling slightly, though still serious) Yeah, I want to make things official. But it's complicated. She... she doesn't know who I really am, Noah. She knows me as a regular guy, a student in her class. I haven't told her about my family, the Business, any of it. And I know I have to, if I want this to be real.

Noah: (pausing, sensing Alex's seriousness) Look, bro. If anyone deserves the truth, it's Siya. And if you're planning to propose, you can't keep that part hidden forever. She deserves to know all of you.

Alex: (nervous chuckle) That's the thing, Noah. I'm scared of how she'll react. I don't want to lose her over this.

Noah: (reassuringly) Hey, if she's the right one, she'll understand. So... let's make this proposal something special, alright?

The girl in Noah's apartment raises her eyebrows at his serious tone, but he just waves her off, giving Alex his full attention.

Noah: Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We'll plan something completely unforgettable. Something that shows her how much she means to you.

Alex: That's exactly why I called you. I need your help with the plan. You're good at these things, so tell me, what do I do?

Noah: (grinning, excited) Okay, listen. First, we need a place, somewhere that means something to both of you. Maybe the music studio where you first met? Or that hillside you guys went to? Somewhere special, something she'll remember forever.

Alex: (thinking) The hilltop... yes, she loved the view up there. She told me it was the most beautiful place she'd seen in the city.

Noah: Perfect! So we take her there. And then, let's decorate it, make it romantic but not over the top. String lights, flowers... you know, that works.

Alex: (nodding, picturing it) Yeah... I like that. Simple, elegant.

Noah: And here's the kicker, get her something personal. Not just some big flashy ring, but something that actually means something to her. Maybe a charm bracelet, with a violin charm. Something that shows her you've been paying attention to all those little things she loves.

Alex: (smiling, touched by the idea) I think you're onto something. She'd love that. It's her passion, after all.

Noah: (laughing softly) There you go, Mr. Romantic. I'll help you set everything up. But remember, this moment is all about you two. Be real with her, Alex. Tell her how you feel. And don't hold back.

Alex: (grateful) Thanks, Noah. I owe you one. Really.

Noah: (chuckling) You owe me more than one, buddy. But I'm happy for you. I can't believe the great Alexander Van Derlyn is finally ready to put his heart on the line.

The call ends, and Alex leans back, feeling both the excitement and the weight of his decision. As he stares out over the city skyline, he feels a new sense of determination. The only thing left now is to put Noah's plan into action, and to finally reveal his truth to Siya???
