ADAM
I grimaced in annoyance at who was calling me at that time.
"What the hell? It's 3 a.m., and who the f**k is calling in the middle of the night?" I muttered angrily and looked for my phone. I immediately checked the caller ID of the person who had interrupted my sleep.
"What do you want, Scott?" I irritably inquired, rubbing my brow.
"I apologize for disturbing your sleep, but could you please do me a favor?" I wanted to punch him in the face and groin for ruining my sleep.
Before responding, I sighed deeply. This guy is putting a strain on my patience.
"What exactly is it?" I asked calmly, trying not to lose my cool.
"Would you be willing to pick up my cousin at the airport? I can't get him right now because I'm too busy in my office working on a project that should be yours."
"Okay! What time is it, and which airport is it at?" I eventually agreed.
He specified the time and place where his cousin would arrive.
8:00 a.m. at the airport...
I've already been sitting on the bench for an hour. Scott told me that the plane would arrive at 8 a.m., so I patiently waited for an hour.
When, all of a sudden, a man appeared in front of me.
"Adam dude!" exclaimed the man in front of me.
"Yes?" I inquired, arching my right brow.
"Hello, my name is Keiro! Remember? Scott's cousin?" He points to himself as he introduces himself.
I stood up and gently punched his shoulder. He's already a man of maturity. I don't even know who he is.
"Man! What was the point of that? "He screamed as he held the part I punched.
"It's just to keep me waiting."
We lock our gazes on each other for a moment before bursting out laughing, causing people to turn their heads to look at us.
"Oh, no! You did not make another mistake. I always come up short ".He whimpers like a child. Yes, his appearance had changed, but he was still young enough to reason.
"Because I'm good," I grinned, drawing a roll of the eyes from him.
"No, you aren't. I can't help but close my beautiful eyes. Look at yourself, do you want to be called a hermit because you resemble one? "He bursts out laughing as he says those words.
"Stop talking! Take your belongings, and don't expect me to assist you," I turned around and walked away, leaving him full of complaints.
We were walking out when I noticed a woman in a red dress clutching her bag and crossing our path. When I saw her face, my heart raced and I went numb when our gazes met.
It's her, it's totally her.
I dashed towards her. Keiro, who was yelling at me, went unnoticed. All I know is that she has returned, that she is alive and not dead. I didn't bother to apologize to everyone I passed. Until I grab her wrist and turn her head to face me. I'm still in disbelief that it's her. I swear I'm not making this up.
"Adam," she said softly enough for me to hear.
"Do you recognize me?" I inquired, my gaze fixed on hers. She says my name, and I hear it come out of her mouth.
"N-no!" she screamed, attempting to break free from his grip.
"You say my name," I gritted as she gripped her shoulders tightly.
"I-I don't know who you are. Allow me to go!" She yelled and ran away.
I'm not sure why I hadn't followed her to feel my own feet, as if I'd been paralyzed at my former location. I just stared at her until she faded from view.
She says my name aloud, despite the fact that she said it under her breath. She says my name loudly and clearly, and I believe I heard it correctly.
"Adam! Who are you interested in?" Keiro appeared out of nowhere. I almost forgot I was with him.
"Nothing," I replied, still staring down the street where Mirana had left.
"Okay? Should we go? I'm starving and in desperate need of sleep, jet lag bro," He said while looking drowsy.
"Let's go get your luggage and load it into the car."
"What are you waiting for?" he inquired as he opened the car's front door.
I believe it was her; she is still alive. But I'm not sure why she keeps denying that she didn't know who I was when she says my name. Why did she insist she didn't know who I was? I'm hoping that all of my questions will be answered.
Mirana, you've just returned to my life. I'll forgive you for whatever you've done. Just come back.
