Chapter 8: Feeling Upset
"Did you say that you come from Egypt?" asked Alesha curiously as she sipped her drink and stared at the man with full of interest. She couldn't hide anything that was on her mind.
Especially regarding things that interested her. The beautiful round eyes were locked onto his face with great enthusiasm, she smiled. A smile that made him felt as if he saw a heavenly angel.
"I said you are so damn beautiful.." He said unconsciously.
"What..?!"
Alesha's smile suddenly disappeared, she narrowed her eyes at the man who was daydreaming. But then he came back to his sense after seeing Alesha's expression.
"I...I mean, after finishing my study on this campus, I will immediately go back to Egypt." He said stammered as he scratched his head that was not itchy.
"I always dreamed of going to Egypt, learning language and culture about that country. I even wanted to study there but my parents wanted me to continue my education here, so here I am.." Alesha said desperately, shrugging her shoulders.
"I can take there if you want to."
Hearing the offer she froze, what a nice thing. Indeed she ranted to go there. She was about to sit something but Bella was already seen walking towards them while smiling.
"I'm sure you guys already know each other right?" she asked, grinning pretending to be innocent.
"So you left me on purpose, huh..?" asked Alesha irritably.
"No, I really wanted to go to the toilet." She answered reasoned.
"So..?" Bella asked again whiles staring at them both in turn, while the man just smiled before then pulled out a card and handed it to Alesha.
"I hope we can continue the conversation over the phone." He said with a sweet smile and winked at her.
Alesha blushed and accepted the card, her sweet face flushed. Bella who looked at her friend only smiled happily as she glanced at the man in front of her. she wished Alesha would open her heart to a man, especially with this handsome man.
As long as she knew Alesha, she already knew the character of her best friend, which apart from lessons she didn't think of anything else. Bella herself had a boyfriend so she wanted her best friend to have someone to hold her over and watched her blush seemed like there was hope for that.
"Absolutely, Meena" Bella said with a smile glancing at Alesha who was still silent.
Meena himself was a famous Egyptian artist who temporarily stopped his career to further his studies in London.
Suddenly his phone vibrated, looking at the name on the screen, he smiled and got up from his seat.
"Please excuse me for a moment." He said to the girls and then walked away.
"Les, who do you think called him? Bella asked curiously.
"I don't know, why do you care anyway. It's not our business." Replied Alesha carelessly.
"What would be happened if it turned out to be his girlfriend?" asked Bella again.
"So what if it is his girlfriend? It's up to him. You already have a boyfriend and you're still eyeing another guy."
"You.. that's not what I mean, if it is his girlfriend, it means he's just playing with you. Didn't you see the way he looked at you? She was interested in you!" said Bella excitedly.
"What are you talking about? I don't wanna think about such nonsense, anyway."
"But.." Bella couldn't continue her words because Meena suddenly had been walking closed to them.
"Sorry, I have to leave early. Alesha, can we talk again this evening?" He said as he looked at her gently. Alesha hadn't had time to respond, Bella immediately answered.
"Yes of course, why not? Alesha will be pleased. She said gesturing at her friend to remain silent while the girl could only glance at annoyance.
After Meena left, Alesha who had been holding back her emotion stared at Bella while the girl only grinned.
"Don't worry, he just wants to talk to you, maybe there are many things you can discuss, don't you want to go to Egypt? You can ask him anything. Alesha, you are beautiful. There so many men who admire you out there. I think it will be good if you try to open your heart, feeling the love of a man whom you like." Bella tried to advise his best friend.
Alesha was silent, she didn't get what was Bella talking about. What love? She even didn't want to know it at all. In her mind, she only thought about how to go to Egypt. She took a deep breath while glancing at Bella.
"Forget about it, I'm not interested. It is better if we go to the library." She said as she stood up and walked away without waiting for Bella who just shook her head and then immediately followed Alesha.
Meanwhile, at the gym in the palace, George was doing a body pump. He looked to focus on weightlifting. His hot muscular bulged perfectly under the thin white shirt he was wearing which was ready to melt everyone's heart who looked at it.
"You are so working out, man." Greeted a man with a smile as he walked towards George.
George stopped his activity when he heard the voice. "Hi Meena, you finally came." He replied then sipped a bottle of mineral water.
"Looks like you have a serious problem huh? Even you never appeared at the campus anymore, what's up man?"
George was silent, his friend's words brought back the memories of the girl he had been trying to erase from his mind for almost a month.
He even never went to a campus anymore only to avoid the girl. He hired the lectures to teach him privately, but unfortunately, his effort was unsuccessful at all. So as usual, George asked Meena's help to find a way out.
"That's why you are here man." He replied frustrated.
Meena chuckled and touched his friend's shoulder. "Of course prince, you can count on me. Now tell me what's happening to you."
George took a deep breath and began to tell everything. George and Meena had been friends for a long time. Their friendship began when they were at the beginning of college. They were like-minded and supported each other. Had the same handsome face, athletic tempted bodies made them both the idol of the entire campus.
However, their character was completely different. George was so cold to all women, he rarely smiled at them. That's why he was called the untouchable prince. But weirdly that's made him even more adored. While Meena was outgoing, sweet, and friendly to everyone.
After listening to George's lamentation, Meena sighed heavily as he raised his thick eyebrows.
"Well, this is actually about a girl and it looked like this cold man's heart had started to warm because of love." He said, smiling broadly.
"What are you talking about, I'm not…" George denied.
"Not knowing yet, yes that's right. You hadn't realized your feeling and now is the right time to understand it before it's too late." Meena said, looking at George seriously while George was silent.
"I have an idea," said Meena excited George a little.
Then what is that?" Asked George impatiently.
"Woah..not that fast man, I will tell you later, for now, you just need to clear your mind first. You know it's not easy because you're engaged, remember? So think about it carefully." Meena gave his advisement for his best friend, they talked until the day turned dark. After that, Meena stepped out leaving George who was silent as he thought something.
Meena's words were true, he couldn't have any kind of feeling for that girl. He already had a fiancé chosen by his parents. She was his cousin, Prince Silvia. However, he didn't like her so much because she was very possessive and tended to control his life.
He couldn't do anything about it because the engagement had been arranged long before they grew up. He could only hope, one day he would get out of this pressure of life. He then stood up and walked out towards his chamber.
