Chapter 36: Confession 2

Noah's POV:

She turned back to her original self. I went near her, but she didn't react. I won't leave her.. She told me not to leave, so that's it.

I took her to my hotel, because it was just some time, and I told her mom that we'll be out for three hours.

I took her to the restaurant at the bottom of the hotel, and she ordered the food on her own. I think her condition is getting better, but what hurts the most is that she didn't recover.

After having a good lunch, I took her into the room. It was all normal, with her reading the same, favorite novel and me just looking at her, mesmerized by her beauty.

She took her phone, and her earbuds and started listening to songs. I didn't want to disturb her, and the time flew by.

Just then I took her back to her mom and bid goodbye. I now have to meet the doctor.

I met her, and she told me that her condition is getting better if she comes back once in a while.

"But why is she not getting all right?" I asked her.

"Sorry Noah but your love isn't touching enough" She said looking down, making my heart twist with pain.

"So.. So, what can I do?"

"Prove her you love her as much as you say and will never leave her" she said.

"And how?"

"She doesn't trust you yet.. She can feel everything now. All she needs to do is express!"

"But.."

"Noah. It will take time"

"Okay doctor. I got it.. Thank you" I said and took leave.

Fine. I was wrong as always. How can she trust me when I always say that I'll leave her?? I have to make her feel that I'm gonna be by her side always..

I messaged her to meet me tomorrow at the front of her house.

The next day, I met her at the front of her house. I took her in my car, knowing how mad her mom can be on me for taking her with me without her knowledge.

But I was very happy when she told me that her mom was out on shopping and will return late.

I took her to a park. It was almost empty. I knew it was the time.

I got down on my knees.

"Astrid. Everything I've done till now, was without my knowledge of your liking or hating it. But yesterday, I was pretty sure you don't hate it. So, I want to make a sincere love confession. I love you. I've always loved you. I'll never leave you. Last time, I'm sorry, I said I'll leave you. But humans only make mistakes, don't they?? Please forgive me and.. Just know this, no one's leaving you. I'm here for you and will always wait for you" I said looking down, not being able to look into her eyes.

When I received no response, I looked up at the same old emotionless face. I knew I still had to prove my love, so I was not hopeless.

I took her back to her house to avoid any suspicion or risk.

I was in my hotel, in my room and on my bed. I was thinking of ways to prove my love.

How can someone possibly show how much he loves her?

I thought, and my mind was not giving me any idea.

"Maybe she didn't like the revenge I took for her? Maybe it didn't satisfy her?" I thought for a moment.

Still, I had no idea of what can I do right now. He was possibly out of the bars right now.. Because it has been more than a week.

Suddenly an idea popped on my mind. I decided to take her to meet Ava. Yes, she must be missing her friend, maybe? I denied her to talk with anyone..

I am wrong in some things, I see...

Next day, I went to her house and told her mom that Ava wanted to meet Astrid. She allowed me, but I guess there was a sign of suspicion on her face.. Come on, I'm coming here every day!

Then I took her to a restaurant where Ava was already there.

"Astrid, I'm really sorry for keeping you away from your friend for so much time" I said, and she nodded. I'm waiting for the day she smiles.

They had some talks and then we eventually went back. I doubt I saw a smile on her face for a while.

Just waiting for some days, didn't get me anything but an idea. I wanted to tell her again, how deep my love for her is.

So I planned something again. Her favorite song, by the way. It's deep and I hope she feels it. I've heard her humming the song too..
