" What should I do Jessica ?" I whined.

"what do you mean what you should do ? Please Elena live a little you have been hiding behind your shell for so long but for what ? For people who didn't even care about you? I have heard that when you know its the right choice then we should take chances and I must say for me its a brilliant news that Jason is the one who met you in that coffee shop.."she sighed.
"He is handsome ,well settled,doing great with his business and above all he is Uncle James son ..please Elena give yourself a chance to feel and experience true love for which you have struggled too much your entire life, Its your time ...please don't make yourself suffer again..."She pleaded with wet eyes.

I tried to process her words in mind but my brain was not functioning properly.

"But..I don't know what to do after what I said to Him an hour ago ...and Jessica its too much after everything has happened ..I ..I am just so confused ..My mind is so stuck right now ...I don't know what should I do." I grumbled while putting head in my hands.

" Shh...its okay I know its difficult for you right now ,take your time but do listen to your heart and try to live for yourself a little please. And if you want an elders approval then I ,myself allow you." she winked and I  chuckled.

I didn't know what I wanted at that time, things Jessica explained were making sense to me which was the more horrible thing for me as my heart was aching for the words I said to Jason most importantly his hurt expression due to me, were giving my headache.

Why is it hurting so much ? Why I have this guilt of hurting him? He did so much for me and what I gave in turn just hurt and pain ?I didn't even gave a chance to explain himself .....UGGHH all these feeling are making me nauseous.

Two hours Ago....

Two confused eyes with hope of finding the answers to their unsolved puzzled were looking at each other..

"You can't be him! He was different ...he was sweet and ...and unlike you in many things ...you ...you are not.." Elena stammered .

"I know one thing that I made this sketch ..for Miss Anonymous ...and You are her don't ask me how I know I just know now ....first I was shocked because you were so much not like her but now I know things must have changed you after your father's ..."Jason stopped and looked at Elena who had hurt expressions.

"Am so sorry I didn't mean to hurt you , I can never think of hurting you ..Am sorry ..."Jason pleaded.

Elena just looked at him with blank expressions still recovering herself from the shock which she had few moments ago ,she felt like her life is full of surprises and hidden secrets .She just wanted a normal life but right now she couldn't possibly see it. Jason and Elena were having a battle inside of them , unrecognizable feelings were igniting within them which made both of them restless and uncomfortable.

"Elena ! " Jason's said in concerned voice and Elena remained silent.

"I don't know if you remember everything about that day or not because I do and believe me I have been in search for miss anonymous my whole life literally I went to that coffee shop over and over again just to see a glimpse of you ....I mean miss anonymous..but I couldn't find yo..miss anonymous.."Jason stopped and looked at Elena who was stunned after the confession by Jason.

"All the moments and images of that day have been haunting me since then ...I have bee...."Elena cut off Jason By gesturing him to stop .

"Please Elena just hear me please I have been waiting for this day ....for the right time ..."Jason tired to speak but was interrupted by Elena.

"Right time ?You think this the right time? For you this is the right time when I just came to know that my mother ,who I thought was my mother is not even my mother....The woman I thought lost her husband was the only one who took my father away from me and .... and My brother who was once my friend is nowhere to find ..."Elena breath heavily.
"This is not the correct timing Mister Jason ...the timing in your schedule is wrong .." Elena Sobbed.

"Elena please don't do this please I ...I LOVE YOU !" Jason confessed.

Elena Gasps at his sudden revelation which was unexpected but right now everything in her life of unexpected what else she would have expected. Jason few moments later realized what he just said .Does he really love her ? Or it was just a slip of tongue.

"Elena I ..."

"Please stop! just stop ! "Elena hissed. Her head was throbbing with pain and her world was spinning.

"I know I shouldn't have said this right ,I should have given you time ....just please give me a chance please.." Jason begged.

Elena was irritated with all the feelings which were rising inside her specially the confession made by Jason  and she didn't know how to deal with it which made her say things which she didn't wanted to.

"The girl you think I am ,The girl you met in the coffee shop and the girl you think was miss anonymous is not me ....She is dead ...She died long ago and she dies a little more every single day ."Elena's word just stabbed Jason's heart deeply because for him miss anonymous was always with him and she can not die until he was alive. The pain he felt was indescribable ,he was hurt ,Elena was hurt and This time they both got hurt because of each other.

"I think you should leave ...please just go I can't take this anymore ..." Elena said and when looked up she felt guilty when she noticed his hurt expressions..

Soon after Jason left Elena broke down on her floor and cried. This time she cried not because of hurt but because of guilt and overwhelming feelings which were arising inside her.

Situation which Elena and Jason faced was overwhelming and they didn't give each other the time to absorb it instead they overreacted and overreactions ruin the situations....
