"I thought you know though, you always do, why are you doing this?" She said as she cradled her face in her hands, shaking, "Is it even necessary?"
"I could ask you the same question. Was it necessary? Why can't you just tell me the way I tell you? Why is it so hard for you to tell me, out of all people?" He held her by the arms, trying to get an answer out of her, he was desperate for one, anything, he just needed to know... because as far as he knew, in love nothing is private.
A tear streamed down her cheek as she slowly looked up, eyes full of tears, getting lost in his, "Because Yusuf, with you, it's different. With you, it was always different. I don't... I don't want you to be sad"
He slowly released her from his grip in silence and began to walk away, but not before whispering, his eyes teary, "your solution did nothing better than that Hana, you're clueless... if only you knew". A tear glistening on his cheek
_If only if you knew leaving things unsaid fixed nothing_

Until one day she meets the one she loves most, the one person who catches her from falling.

Upfront yet reserved, honest and clear, he doesn't hide yet avoids confrontations. He does what he says and keeps everlasting promises.Until one day he meets the one who he'd been looking for, the one person he catches from falling.
