Wiping a stray tear away from her eyes, she quickly faced him. Smiling and acting as if the words didn't break her heart. She was attached to him, in an unexpected way she hadn't realized, something she wouldn't have if not for these words. If only he did not talk about them.
What did he have to say out loud?
She knew they won't be meeting after this, there was no way they will be together.

It was supposed to stay that way. But did it stay? No.
It was something more.

Why did this pain?
Why she felt crying and smile to show him she was fine at the same time?

Vandita quickly touched her face and recoiled feeling wetness dropping on her cheeks.
"Noor, look at me." He called her name in the softest voice.
She shook her head, turning away from him, wiping her face, and shutting her eyes to stop them.
