Chapter 88: hey I miss you
"Oh sis what should I do l can't lose Julius"
"But Aileen you left him out when Rìan returned and besides Nina is his girlfriend so maybe you should get use to it you're not going to get back that Julius who was always around you"
"Sel I am hurting that he's going away from me"
"Aileen do you l…." Sel wanted to ask something but she stopped
"What????"
"Nothing at least not now. Why don't you call him"
Aileen looked at her phone but couldn't master the courage to, she was scared that he wouldn't answer and that will hurt more
There was someone also waiting for her call, Julius was waiting for her call.
"So how have you been doing?" Julius asked
"After all these years, you and I have finally seen each other again" Nina said
"You look amazing" he said and she smiled softly and said
"Julius I miss you!!!"
He closed his eyes for a while and with guilt on his face he said
"Nina I am sorry for what happened that day"
"You should be. I didn't leave this place on a happy note, you were there but felt like you weren't. The reason you decided to stay how far has it gone?" Nina said and he smiled
"Exactly it ended up nowhere. Julius we were happy we were so in love and everything was good but you rejected my love, when did your heart changed? you never told me, why did you leave me alone that day!"
"I am sorry, I am sorry but I couldn't leave with you. My heart never changed I loved you but…"
"You loved your reason more!" Nina said
"Loved?!!! No Nina I still love the reason I couldn't leave this country with you and I don't regret staying back. I am really sorry for the pain I caused you"
"Julius you filled my life with happiness and we planned a lot together...wait....thinking about this, it was I who planned a lot for us and that was because of how you treated me, everyone thought Nina and Julius were going to be the happiest couple ever but that reason ruined everything and in the end that reason still left you and that's what hurts"
"I thought we talked about this back then and we were ok, why are you bringing this up again?"
"Because you're not happy..... Julius I want you back" Nina said
"How can you have something that wasn't yours in the first place? I loved you because of that reason"
"Julius can't you still leave that reason?"
"I am a goner Nina and even if that reason leaves me, I know I can't leave"
"Julius you can't stop me, I'm going to win you back" Nina said
"You will be staying at my place right?" Julius asked
"Yes"
It had been long since Aileen met with Julius and she couldn't take it anymore that she went to his house but her smile disappeared when Nina opened the door for her
"You?!!!" Nina said
"How are you?" Aileen said
"I am good and you"
"I am good"
"You are here for Julius right? He's not around, you can call him and ask about his whereabouts" Nina said and tried to leave
"Nina?? Why are you hostile towards me"
"Aileen I am not being hostile, I just grew up and changed"
"Nina you're my friend…"
"I was your friend!! Aileen our friendship ended when I left this place, you never for once called me you were too busy with your life I understand but I changed also during those years too"
"Does this matter, she was also hurting. She constantly asked about you from me. You two are friends Nina it's hard to get loyal friends" Julius said when he overheard them after returning from the office
"Loyal friends??? She took ..."
"Nina please!!!" Julius said and she left
"I am sorry" Julius apologized to Aileen
"Why's she angry at me"
"It's my fault I never conveyed you messages to her..... what are you doing here?"
"I came here to check up on you?" Aileen said
"You should have called me"
"I know I should but I wanted to see you"
They walked in silence for a while
"Julius!! I miss you" Aileen said and Julius stood there not knowing how to feel
"Don't say these things, I am never going to let you go and I know at the end I am going to get hurt" he thought
He turned around and just stared at her and smiled
"I miss you too" he said and opened up his arms for her and she hugged him
Nina looked at them from afar and was annoyed
"Let's go out tomorrow" Aileen said happily and he nodded and hugged her tightly and she snuggled in his arms smiling
