Atif drive his grandfather Haris to the Airport.

They are already on the airport’s parking area.

They stepped out the car.

Atif help his grandfather Haris to get his luggage at the trunk of the car.

They are now heading inside the airport.

One hour later,

Haris is on the plane heading to Asia.

While Atif is driving back to Zenica.

10:00 am.

H & A Summit Holdings, Inc.

Atif is in his office now.

Again and again he is busy doing his paper works.

He is so busy talking to one of their client on the phone when he received a chat from Aliyah.

He seen the notification on his computer.

The message said “Goodbye.”

Atif don’t reply to the message.

Hoping that it is just wrong sent.

But he received the same message.

And now his name is mentioned.

The message said. “Goodbye, Atif.”

Now it’s is clear the Aliyah really wants to said goodbye to him.

Atif don’t know what to say at this moment.

Atif don’t want to end their friendship but there’s nothing he can do because Aliyah wants.

Atif feel so sad.

He don’t want to send the same message.

He don’t send the word “goodbye”.

Hoping that if he don’t send that word he will received another message from Aliyah.

Instead he send this message;

“Look, I’m busy right now. But we can talk. What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Aliyah replied.

“Nothing? But why you want to say goodbye?” Atif asked.

“Because I think I’m falling for you.” Aliyah replied.

Atif is shocked.

At the same time he is flatter.

He feel happy because he feel the same way too.

But what Atif knew it is wrong to feel this way.

For what he knew was Aliyah is married.

Aliyah have a husband.

Aliyah have kids.

But what he knew are all lies.

The truth is Aliyah is single.

No husband.

No kids.

But Aliyah didn’t said the truth instead she continue telling lies to Atif.

Atif is thinking the best answer to the message of Aliyah.

He don’t want to ruin Aliyah’s life.

But he don’t want to end their friendship because of what Aliyah said.

Atif thinking that maybe Aliyah is just mistaken of what she feel right now for him.

Maybe that feeling is just for a friend.

After an hour Atif replied.

“You knew that you have a husband. You have your life there. So it is not right for you to have feelings for me. We are just chatting as friends and nothing more than that.” Atif replied.

“Yes, I know that. Maybe I’m just mistaken.” Aliyah replied.

“So we can still be friends?” Atif asked.

“No. I have to go. Maybe it is better we end up this way. Why I have this feeling that you don’t want me to say goodbye. What do you want me to do?” Aliyah replied.

“Nothing. I’m not asking you to do anything. It’s up to you. Do what you want.” Atif replied.

“Goodbye.” Aliyah said.

Atif take a deep breath before sending his reply.

“Okay. Goodbye.” Atif replied.

But he cannot send his reply.
