I was waiting for the opportunity to have the chance to approach him. Callista's eyes traveled towards mine. She caught me staring at him. I gave out a weakened smile. We could've developed the friendship that started too bad it gone barren.
So many things, chaotic turbulence. And besides she's with him. There's no progress if I can't cross the line.
I stood from my seat. My fingers lingered towards the desk for a bit before I proceeded and went towards them.
“Galen can we talk? ” I told him. Because I wanted us to talk.
Gales didn't answer her. He's reading something. Azaiah waited and stood in front of him. She will wait. She knows he's trying to ignore her. She's aware that Galen heard him so she'll stay.
Callista's eyes dropped off on Galen she turned on Azaiah, blinking for a few times before she touch his arms.
“Galen.” She tried to interrupt him for a bit. Galen turned stoned with a straightened posture he moved. He stared at Calli before his eyes went on Azaiah. He's looking at her with bored eyes.
She felt like something ripped a part of her heart off. His expression felt like a punch into her chest. She ignored the feeling even it hurts.
“Galen can we talk? She repeated it. She's putting on a brave face despite the pain inside her. Lowering her chin so her eyes can leveled with his gaze, she choose to ignore how his gaze looks towards her.
“I'll leave you two for bit.” Calli rose from her seat.
Galen was fast to caught her wrist. “Stay.” It was a command.
Azaiah stopped herself from making exhales. She stared at Galen's hands on her arms. She tore her eyes off to gaze somewhere else.
Galen's stare in on her. She meet his eyes again when she felt that he finally looks at her. She waited. He saw how his jaws moved. She plastered a smile that she managed to fake. He saw how his stare turned blank upon staring at her lip.
“Okay.”
A light flashed her eyes. “Good.”
After school she waited. They both agreed to each other and said that they will meet at the field.
She waited. She's keeping track of the time. She still has a party to attend to. Her eyes wandered around to look if he's already there but no traces of him arrive.
She can wait for him. For a bit.
She felt panicky. Palming both of her hands she rubbed it together. Desperate to wanting to have a glimpse of his face, she breathe a few exhales.
Until rain came...
It's been an hour but he stil hasn't arrive yet. She doesn't feel like crying. She was too upset that her emotions almost went numb. Her head throbbed, and the jagged pang is nerve-shaken for her. Her mind is almost too loud, her heart too. But she couldn't expressed an emotion. She sat just there and let the rain fall on her. Until the downpour felt heavy.
She just sits there until she can no longer feel the rain. She looked up only to see Ehaan in looking down on her with an umbrella in his hand.
“You left your bag...” He started before he sat beside her.
Ehaan was just looking at her. She then feel the emotions coming out of her. She started crying.He looked away without saying anything. He just continue to hold the umbrella for her.
“Thanks.” It was weak. Her utterance is almost said in a whisper.
“Galen.” She continued.
“He went home Azaiah.” Ehaan is soft. His eyes bore at her with carefulness in his gaze. He is looking at him gently.
She looked to him once again. She's still has the watery gaze. “You think he forgot about our meeting.”
Ehaan stared at her shaking his head. “I think he knows what he is doing, Azaiah.”
Azaiah stared at him with wide eyes. Ehaan called someone on the phone. He dropped his phone before opening his mouth to speak.
“Let's go home, Azaiah.”
They were fetch by the driver. Her motherAmelia thanked Ehaan for what he did. She saw how soaked Azaiah with her clothes. She asked them what happened. Azaiah did not say anything.. Ehaan was asked. He looked for Azaiah to say something about it but she stayed quite. Irritability started to appear on Amelia's face.
She's driving but her eyes were on the car mirror. “What is the problem?” Stone-cold voice came from her.
“Her friend forgot to go and meet her when they were about to talk in the field.” His eyes on her right after he said it.
Amelia eyed her child.
“Is this about this boy again?” She was pissed upon muttering her question.
The two remained silent.There were sobs from Azaiah. And Ehaan handed her his handkerchief. Azaiah used it to wipe her tears. She then leaned her head on the car window. It's to heavy for her to do some overthinking about what happened.
“What's more than family, Galen?” That what his fathers say when he straight up told him he still needs to meet Azaiah after he told him to go home.
He wanted to crumpled the paper to tear into papers. But he continued reading the paper works that were handed to him. Studying the business.
Then the realization hits, plumbing him with what he'd done...
------------
She can wait. He silent told himself trying to make himself feel less guilty for leaving her to wait for her without even informing her. He then stared at the window. He the rain drops. The window is a bit fogged. It was raining.
Her back went to rest to her seat. The shoot is done.
“Are you good?” Ehaan asked her if she's fine.
She only nodded her head at him. She almost forgot that there's someone in the same room as him.
“We need to go down. Your mother's waiting for us.”
