Time goes by.

Aliyah and Atif never noticed that they continuously communicating with each other even though they Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

both have doubts and hesitations to communicate with each other.

And sometimes they both want to stop sending messages to each other.

Why?

For Aliyah don’t trust stranger.

Also she believes that in this life everything is temporary;

“Emotions, thoughts, people, scenery; everything is bound to end; Do not become attached.”

For Atif it’s just a waste of time to chat with strangers because he is a very busy person.

He has a limited free time or almost sometimes no free time at all.

But in spite of their reasons they found themselves still chatting with each other.

They can’t helped it.

Until they became friends.

When Atif showed kindness to Aliyah,

Aliyah learn to trust him even though he is just a stranger.

Aliyah consider him as a friend.

It’s just because Atif noticed that there is something wrong with Aliyah he decided to become Aliyah’s

friend.

Atif knows that Aliyah needs someone, a friend who will listen to her.

He noticed it when Aliyah asked him,” Can we be friends?”

Without hesitation Atif answer her “Sure.”

And from that moment, when Atif said that they are friends Aliyah believes on his word. Hoping their

friendship would last.

Aliyah find a special friend in Atif.

Atif is still a stranger even though they are friends.

For there’s no chance for them to see each other in person, Aliyah can tell him her problems without

hesitation.

Because sometimes it’s easy to tell your problems and secrets to stranger rather than to those who

knew you.

Atif understand her, always giving her good advice on how to cope up with her problems.

Atif found time to be her friend.

Even in his busy schedule he found time to reply on every message of Aliyah knowing that Aliyah will

always wait for his reply.

Unknowingly Aliyah slowly falling to Atif.

And vice versa.

Atif slowly falling for Aliyah but he ignore his own feelings.

For what he knew is; “Aliyah is married”.

Because Aliyah lie to him from the start.

Lie that she can’t take it back for her fear that Atif would not trust her anymore; she stand for it; that she

have a husband and kids even though she is single.

“Anyway Atif wouldn’t find out that I’m telling lies for we don’t have mutual friends. Besides there’s no

chance that we can see each other in person.” Aliyah told herself.

Because they are friends Atif also learned to reveal some personal things about his life to Aliyah like;

Sometimes Atif talked about that someday he would find a woman to marry and share the rest of her

life.

Make a family.

And if he saw a woman that get his attention he tell it to Aliyah.

Unknowingly that sometimes Aliyah get annoyed for she has a feelings for Atif that she also ignore like

what Atif do.

Her reason is different from what Atif have.

Aliyah told herself that she will never fall for someone again unless there will be someone, somehow,

ready to share the love that’s strong, a love that grows with each passing time.

Because she been wrong before and don’t want to be wrong anymore.

But love is knocking on the door of her heart once more.

And her lonely heart play the part of the fool again.

Her foolish heart once more feeling the feeling that she will let herself fall again; wants to play the game

that she can’t win. She is tired of being abandoned so he warned herself to stop before she fall in love

again.

Aliyah ignore her feeling most of the time but it remains and she can’t erase it.

SO when Atif tell her that he will meet the woman he wants as if like a date she can’t help herself to get

jealous.

But Aliyah consider Atif as a friend so she listens to what Atif is telling and sometimes she even wish

that Atif will find the right woman for him to marry.

And when Atif tell her that he failed to meet the woman he like because of his busy schedule Aliyah’s

feeling is mix.

Mix feeling because she feel sad for she knew that Atif is sad about what had happened to his

supposed to be date.

She wants Atif to be happy.

But she can’t help also being happy for Atif and the woman failed to see each other.

For her it means that they can still communicate with each other.

Aliyah fear that if Atif find a girlfriend he will stop the communication and the friendship that they have.

Aliyah didn’t knew that Atif noticed her reaction, that she is jealous but also feel sad if he failed to meet

the woman he wants.

Atif knew because Aliyah once asked him that if that woman would be his girlfriend will they stop

chatting.

In spite that Atif like the woman; he is also afraid to lose Aliyah as a friend.

He immediately explained to Aliyah that,” there’s nothing wrong with still chatting with each other for we

are just friends and nothing more than that.”

Atif promise that even he got a girlfriend they will remain friends.

But Aliyah being abandoned with her previous relationship partners still have a doubt on what Atif

promise.

Because even those Aliyah’s male friends avoid her when they got girlfriend for they are afraid that

their woman get jealous of her.

Aliyah has extraordinary beauty that make other woman get insecure. Even her age is at 30’s now, still

she looks beautiful.

She looks younger than her age.

But Atif still didn’t see the real face or appearance of Aliyah for all her photos in her social media

accounts are fake; if there are some real photos, she chooses to upload the ugly photos she have or

the images which unclear.

On the other hand, the photos of Atif on his social media accounts are real.

What will happen next to their friendship is just a piece of a puzzle for destiny is out of control.

Will Atif keep his promised?

Will Atif know how to keep his promise?

Will they remain just friends?

Or one of them reveal the true feeling they have for each other?
