Recap

  ?She watched me from the other side, giving me a mocking salute and that same knowing grin.

  ?I was in the very next carriage , yet she felt miles away.

  I had no idea who this mysterious girl was, but I knew one thing.

  ?Tomorrow morning, I will definitely find her who she's.

  Episode 2 Her name

  JANUARY 22, 2019

  I didn’t sleep well.

  Not because I was thinking about her constantly—but because my mind kept restarting the same moment and refusing to continue it.

  Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the train doors closing. I heard her laugh.

  I remembered the way she said my name like she’d already decided to remember it.

  The Sun rises as usual as I .

  The office lobby looked the same as always.

  Security nod. ID scan. The soft hum of machines pretending to care about attendance.

  I walked in like I had every other day—except my eyes refused to stay still.

  I didn’t know her department.

  I didn’t know her floor.

  I didn’t even know her name.

  All I knew was that she existed somewhere inside this building.

  This is the first time I feel this building is so complex, like all departments are separated like blocks with several floors yet interconnected with each other, still like one big building.

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

  I started with my floor. I walked past desks I had never bothered to notice before.

  Faces looked up, then away. Someone asked me if I needed help.

  I shook my head and kept moving.

  I switched floors. Switched blocks. Then another. The elevators became familiar and I felt it's too slow going up, too fast coming down.

  I pretended to check emails on my phone whenever someone passed me. Pretended I had work everywhere except where I was assigned.

  “Why are you roaming today?”

  A teammate asked.

  “I can’t sit in one place,” I said.

  It was true. Sitting felt like surrender.

  Hours passed like this—short bursts of hope, longer stretches of disappointment.

  I caught myself staring at ID cards more than faces. Blue tag, Red tag, etc.

  None of them hers. Or maybe I had seen hers and failed to recognize it.

  I never thought searching is so hard, analyst roles are very hard it seems.

  Work piled up quietly. I finished just enough to not be questioned.

  By evening, the office changed tone. Conversations softened. Chairs scraped back. Bags were zipped with tired hands. People were ready to leave. I wasn’t ready to stop searching.

  At the exit gate, I slowed.

  I scanned my ID.

  Beep.

  My mind is too blank to take anything but I still have my last hope to meet her at the Railway station.

  At this moment her name doesn't matter to me, I want to upbraid her.

  Someone from behind said “Excuse me could you move, so that I could scan my ID ”

  While I turned to apologize, It was her who made me run errands all over the office.

  I gazed at her eyes with a predator look who's ready to devour her.

  I had lots of words to yell at her but I didn't.

  I just left her with that gaze and went to the station.

  Idk why I didn't shout, why do I have to show her Compassion.

  Maybe it's because there are people around her, but it's her mistake right?

  But when I think twice it's my decision to search for her.

  She came to the station and stood in front of me with gloomy eyes.

  My heart stopped the rhythm to beat . Did I do anything wrong? t I was the one who should be sad.

  Is she a witch or a ninja just what she was.

  Why is she always interrupting my heart rhythms?

  While I was trying to say “why__”

  She interrupted and bowed her head with a tears on her face “I'm really sorry I didn't meant to hurt you ”

  She paused a bit “I want to just play with you”

  She wiped her eyes “idk how to apologize to you for hurting you”

  Idk what to tell even though she apologized

  I just smiled and replied her “well it's not your fault it's just mine ”

  She tried to say “No__”

  I interrupted her “We can't blame anyone, why don't we talk about other topics? ”

  She finally smiled while her tears still there “sure why not ”

  She offered her hand “I'm Aisha from technical documentation ”

  We have shaken hands while one of my hands is on the back of the neck.

  She said “I never had a person to talk with”

  I really can't process what she's trying to say, is this because I was so tired or what.

  I replied her ”well whatever, that's explains why your good at hiding, by the way I'm from product management “

  She said “I already knew who you are ”

  What the hell she was saying “howw!! ”

  The train arrived she grinned her mouth gently and said “I hope let's meet frequently ”

  She again boarded a ladies carrier and I boarded the general. I wish we could board a general carrier one day.

  WAKE UP WAKE UP

  When I opened my eyes I saw an old fashioned house with flying light spheres.

  So it's all just a dream ,Still it's my past where I can't possibly return, I guess.

  I have to find a way to return to my world in time or else I can't possibly meet her on time.

  Still what I can do, I was cursed, At least that's what everyone will call a magicless being . Is this our end? I wish I could have said those words before.

  To be continued
