Book of Fate

When Glen came out of the office, Jack leaned back in his chair, looked up, and suddenly smiled. “I’ll see you again soon. . . Alexa.”

Meanwhile, Alexa first thought of going out and going to the grocery store because she noticed that they no longer had stock. She went to a supermarket inside the mall because it was close to their house. A few hours later, Alexa can’t write, but that doesn’t mean that her characters in the book can’t do things anymore because they are in the same world and time. They still continue what they are doing, but there is a bit of confusion because while Alexa is writing in the book, she is in control of what Daniella and William are doing. Yes, Alexa still has a decision to make if she continues or stops writing their story, but it will be a problem because she has already started manipulating things that shouldn’t have happened first, so if Alexa stops writing it, everything will definitely get messy eventually.

Alexa was finished shopping when she turned to her back, but she accidentally bumped into a man while holding the basket. “Oh no! I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.” She bowed as she said this.

The man looked at her as if recognizing her. “Alexa?”

Alexa’s forehead furrowed because he seemed to know her based on calling her name. She stood up straight and looked at the man in front of her, and as she stared at him, she realized who it was.”Ryan?”

He smiled at her. ” Yes, it’s me. Long time no see. How are you?” Alexa just smiled because she didn’t expect that today she would see the man she loved when she was a high school student back then.

After that scene, the two decided to go to a park near the mall and talk there. “How are you?” Ryan asked.

They were sitting on a long chair in front of a children’s playground. “I’m fine. You, how are you?”

He smiled.” I’m happy. I have a family and a child.”

She turned to Ryan and saw how happy he was with his life now.”Good then.”

Ryan looked at her. “Do you have a family yet?”

Alexa just shook her head in response. “What are you doing right now?” Ryan asked.

“I’m a writer,” she replied with a smile.

He nodded. “You seem to be happy with what you’re up to now, but is he happy too now?”

Alexa was surprised at the last thing Ryan said and looked at Ryan with a confused look. “He?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Didn’t he talk to you before we graduated from high school?”

Alexa seemed confused. “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

Ryan sighed. “That one also had the courage to talk to me before, but he also didn’t say what he wanted to say to you.” Then it shook his head.

“Who are you talking about?”

Ryan just smiled. “I know you had a look at me back then, Alexa.”

She was stunned for a moment by what he said. “All your simple glances at me, then I noticed wherever I was, you were there too, but you did not try to approach me.”

Alexa’s eyes widened. “How did you say I was looking at you back then?”

Ryan parted his hair and smiled, as if he remembered. “Because of him, I just thought it was a coincidence that where I was, you were there too, but no, someone came up to me and talked to me about it.”

Alexa’s forehead was almost furrowed at what Ryan was saying because she didn’t know who the person she was referring to was. “Who is the person you’re referring to!” There was a little irritation in her voice that Ryan just laughed at.

“You know him, you know him very well, Alexa, and he was the one who really had feelings for you when we were in high school, but why didn’t he still tell you? He had a chance. He even threatened me to ignore you because I knew that if I showed even the slightest interest in you, he would lose hope towards you, so what I did was not even look at you, not even a slight glance at you, which I did back then for that person. ”

Her brain can’t process what Ryan is saying now and the person he’s referring to that he doesn’t want to name. “I won’t give you his name first, but maybe you’ll meet again and you’ll know he’s there to say what he feels for you. ” Ryan stood up and took the groceries. ” If you’ll excuse me, if I go first, maybe my wife will be angry with me during the time I shopped and, if you don’t mind, if you can be one of the grandparents of my child at her baptism.” Alexa nodded, and Ryan took her phone number before leaving.

When Ryan left, Alexa didn’t seem to be on her own. “Who’s the person he’s referring to that I know very well.” For a few minutes, she remembered the people she had met before, but she could no longer remember the names of these people from so long ago.

She shook her head slowly and just erased from her mind what Ryan had told her. She also picked up what she had bought and walked away from the park. She did not know that the person who Ryan was referring to was Jack. Even before they graduated, Jack talked to Ryan about Alexa.

Jack sat across from Ryan with a table in between as he read a book. He looked at it in surprise. “What do you need?”

He stared at him before answering. “Do you even know anyone who likes you here.”

Ryan just shook his head. “I’ll tell you, but I’m just reminding you not to make the mistake of looking at her!”

“Who are you referring to?”

Jack turned to see where Alexa was, and fortunately she was busy writing in a notebook, so he was sure she wouldn’t be able to have a glance at them from where they sat.”That woman, so just a reminder, don’t look at her, even a glance, because she might think she has a chance for you to notice her. Is it clear!”

Ryan raised two eyebrows as he looked at Jack confusedly. “Wait!! Why are you talking to me about that? Shouldn’t you have talked to her? ”

Jack looked at him lazily. ” You think she’ll listen to me? She wants you, not me. It’s better to talk to you first for assurance. ”

“Why don’t you tell her your feelings yet if you’re afraid I’ll notice her?”

Jack looked back at where Alexa was. “Because I’m not sure yet, if she sees only you.”

“Why don’t you try it?”

“I’ll say that too, but not now. Just your presence won’t be showing on the scene. Do you remember everything I said? Do we understand each other?” Jack looked at him boastfulness before turning his gaze to Alexa, who was now leaving.

From Jack, Ryan’s gaze shifted to Alexa and he said, “Coward.” And shook his head before reading the book again.

After their conversation with Jack, he just followed what he said so that there would be no trouble, and Ryan also didn’t want anyone to get hurt because of him.
