Ronan's POV :

As the days stretched into nights and my bond with Aiza flourished, I found myself ensnared in a whirlwind of emotions. What had begun as a simple admiration for her intellect and wit had blossomed into something far deeper,a love that consumed my every thought and ignited a fire within my soul.

With each passing moment, my heart beat in sync with Aiza's, my thoughts consumed by her presence, even when we were separated by oceans and continents. In the quiet hours of the night, I found myself lost in reverie, imagining a future where we were more than just friends-a future where our souls intertwined in a dance of love and passion.

But despite the intensity of my feelings, I hesitated to confess my love to Aiza, fearing the sting of rejection and the potential loss of our cherished friendship. The weight of my unspoken emotions pressed heavily upon my heart, leaving me paralyzed with uncertainty and doubt.

Yet, with each passing day, the pull towards Aiza grew stronger, a magnetic force that drew me inexorably closer to her. I longed to pour out my heart to her, to lay bare my deepest desires and hopes, but the fear of rejection held me back, a silent specter that haunted my every move.

And so, as the chapter of our friendship unfolded, I found myself caught in a heart's descent-a journey of love and longing that threatened to consume me whole. Despite the one-sided nature of my affections, I couldn't deny the overwhelming power of my love for Aiza, a force that transcended reason and logic, binding me to her in ways I never thought possible.

Every moment spent with Aiza was a treasure. I relished our late-night conversations, where we delved into topics ranging from the profound to the trivial, each exchange deepening my admiration for her. Her mind was a labyrinth of brilliance, and I was content to wander its corridors endlessly.

But with every passing day, the chasm between my feelings and my actions widened. I was trapped in a maze of my own making, each turn leading me back to the same agonizing question:

Should I tell her? The fear of losing her friendship was a constant shadow, a reminder of what was at stake. The possibility of rejection loomed large, its weight suffocating.

I used to get up early in the morning, the result of persistent jet lag from my travels between Sweden and home. The time difference meant that while the rest of the world around me was still shrouded in darkness, Aiza's day was just beginning. I would sit by the window, watching the first light of dawn creep over the horizon, my heart racing with anticipation. Those quiet, early hours became my sanctuary, a time when I could eagerly wait for her to wake up so we could talk. Our conversations were my lifeline, each word a tether that drew me closer to her, making the distance between us feel almost nonexistent.

I found myself replaying countless scenarios in my mind, imagining how she might react. Would she be surprised? Flattered? Or would she recoil, creating an unbridgeable rift between us? These thoughts plagued me, making every interaction a delicate dance of restraint and yearning.

Despite the uncertainty, my love for Aiza only grew stronger. It was a relentless force, defying all logic and reason. I loved her not just for who she was, but for the way she made me feel-alive, hopeful, and inspired. She was the muse to my restless heart, the anchor to my drifting soul.

In the end, I knew that this journey was mine alone to navigate. Whether I chose to reveal my feelings or keep them hidden, the love I felt for Aiza was a part of me, an indelible mark on my heart. And so, I continued to walk the fine line between friendship and love, cherishing every moment with her while grappling with the unspoken words that lingered on the tip of my tongue.
