Only I Remembered...

I took a deep breath and replied, "I am sorry for holding you back but I want to talk to you." He nodded his head for me to continue. "Even though it's been two years since you helped me on that day but I still want to thank you. Your small act of kindness has given me hope. With that hope, I want to become a permanent worker here and want to work with you." I finally breathed after saying what I have always longed to say to him.

"Thank you for the sweet words but who are you miss?", asked Ezra. I gave him a puzzled look and asked in a low tone, "Are you playing a joke on me?" To which he replied, "Why will I play a joke on you. Moreover, I don't even remember what happened two years ago and neither do I know you."

My whole world came crashing down at his reply. "How could you not remember helping me on the magic show day and after that every day I come to you to say greetings and you always smile and reply to me."

"Ahh... so you were the girl who had fallen near the entrance that day and made a hurdle for other people. I just helped you so that others could enter the venue peacefully and the company's name wouldn't be harmed. And regarding you greeting me daily let me tell you that you are not the only one. There are thousands of people wishing me every day and I can't remember everyone. So stop giving yourself so much importance and leave my way if you have nothing else to say." Listening to all this coming out of Ezra's mouth broke my heart. I was not able to reply to him and just moved aside for him to leave.

After he left I dropped down, tears started welling up in my eyes. I was the only one who treated the incident close to my heart but for him, I was just a nuisance. Every time that he replied to my greetings smilingly I thought that I was the only one seeing that side of him. Now I blame my heart for falling for him. How could I have thought that somebody will notice me? I am just a nobody. Suddenly my phone started ringing, it was Janet. I picked up the call. "Hey, Aria did you get a chance to talk to Ezra?"

"Don't talk about him! I regret loving him." I started crying nonstop on the call.
