Dormant Love

****
It was a piece of tampered paper. I furrowed my eyes at the squiggly handwriting as if in haste. What the heck? A poem?

"Wₑ'ᵣₑ ₙₒₜ ₛₜᵣₐₙgₑᵣₛ, wₑ ⱼᵤₛₜ dₒₙ'ₜ ₖₙₒw ₑₐcₕ ₒₜₕₑᵣ."

"Yₒᵤ'ᵣₑ ₙₒₜ ₐ ₛₜᵣₐₙgₑᵣ, I ⱼᵤₛₜ dₒₙ'ₜ ₖₙₒw yₒᵤ."

"I'ₘ ₙₒₜ ₐ ₛₜᵣₐₙgₑᵣ, yₒᵤ ⱼᵤₛₜ dₒₙ'ₜ ₖₙₒw ₘₑ."

"Wₑ'ᵣₑ ₐₗₗ ₕᵤₘₐₙₛ. Wₕₐₜ'ₛ ₜₕₑᵣₑ ₜₒ bₑ ₛₜᵣₐₙgₑ ₐbₒᵤₜ?"

I gulped tensely, not realizing what he meant. My confused mind couldn't understand it. Like he had just sparked my core, leaving me with a fever.

I felt something in me come alive. A new kind of feeling I couldn't figure out, but I trusted my gut.

A dormant sensation deep within dreaded to be unleashed, and I wouldn't be able to control it.

"You know...I might like you," he revealed.

The return of an oblivious dead man nearly a decade later causes havoc to reek in her life. He was the heir of a puissant Spanish multi-billionaire, as well as the source of the tortuous ambience in her memory.

Ignorant to it, she had always wanted one thing, and that wish she prayed for every day.

To meet her once upon a time again.
