Strangers Attached

Chapter 28

Recap

The secret friend of Noah had spoken to Kiara about her feelings and then told them to Noah. That friend advised him to meet Kia and talk to her which Noah agreed and called Kiara at the same park.

On the other side, Kiara spoke to Tam, Jub and Parker about the whole situation and how she was embarrassed of herself. She wasn't willing to face Noah after her act of kissing him on the date accidently. But after all of them explaining her and lastly on the call with Parker she realised that she had to talk to Noah and couldn't have delayed it any further and so she agreed to meet him.

Noah

"Kia, I have something to tell you, eh Kia, I wanted to say that..."

"Kia, I wanted to talk to you about something since long..."

"Kia..."

What nonsense am I speaking?! Is this the way I will talk to Kia?

I have been waiting for Kiara from the past half an hour in the park. She should be here in any minute, she wasn't late but I was early as I couldn't just focus on anything I do until I talk to her and after a lot of mind games and thinking I have finally decided that I will confess about my feelings to Kia today.

I think telling Kia about my feelings will help her make the decision. If I will tell her that I am in love with her she will at least understand, why is this marriage so much important to me and also that I will treasure her for the rest of her life.

I can tell her everything and treat her the way I've always wanted to, the way she deserves.

Yes! This is the right thing to do.

And I guess I should also stick to my original lines that I have prepared.

I opened my note and started reading, "Kia, I have always wanted to tell you this, something which has always been I. my heart but never found its way to the words but today I think, is the right time to say this, Kia I...I..."

"Kia I..."

"Yes nohi, you what?"

I spun my head in utter surprise and saw Kia standing in front of me. She was looking pretty as always in her casuals with her signature smile which made my heart skip a beat.

"Noah, you were saying something, you...?" she asked again.

Oh crap!

"I...I...I was saying that I wanted to take a walk around the park and maybe grab a hot dog. I'm...I'm hungry, how about you?"

Kiara gave me a weird look and said, "Yeah sure."

And I couldn't say it.

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

"Am I even serious? Hot dog and a walk? What is wrong with me?" I murmured to myself as Kia walked ahead me.

"Did you say something Noah?" she asked.

"No-Nope. Nothing", I quickly rambled catching up with her as we made our way to the hot dog stall across the street.

I kept the note deep inside my pocket with one last glance and thought that maybe I can give it another shot of try while we will be taking a stroll.

Kiara

Noah is behaving a bit weird. Does he know what I was doing to tell him?
