This story is about a woman who wishes to meet the love of her life earlier but the time is no right, destiny does not belong to her this time.

She never expects to fall in love with the man who she’s been in touch with as a colleague and continue to be a dear friend for the last two years. They are so very close, she cares about him so much, maybe too much. But so does he. They are colleagues, in fact, he is her mentor at the office. They need each other, they are meant to be together. Everybody knows that they are close, but she never expects that that man is a man who changes her dream forever.

He knew whenever she fell in love with someone at the office, and she knew whenever he fell disappointed or mad about something at the office. they are talking so intensely. Everything looks so easy to talk and share with, about everything. They have chemistry, they are natural bonding. They have shared the same story about how they grew up.

She remembered when she fell in love with a man at the office, she was acting so weird and he knew how much she loved that man. He shared everything to her, she is the only one who knows who he is, all the facts about him. what people said about him and his past, he doesn’t care as long as she knows the truth.

What kind of bonding is that? they are talking intensely, they are sharing every story, but they never say the real feeling to each other. They realize something happens between them both but they cannot say it to each other. He already has someone in his life. The fact, the relationship they have is wrong. they weren’t supposed to be this close.

And now, she realizes that she loves him. And the feeling is growing day by day. Maybe he knows that she loves him, the affection was real. He knows there is something she hides from him. For the last 3 weeks, she tried to stay away from him. She avoids him, she tried to limit the communication. She replies to the text as simple as she can, maybe with a little bit rude to him. and now they communicate with so formal, not like they used to be. But one thing she knows, she cannot tell him what she feels, she has to hide for herself only.

The red line was there, since day one. But, they crossed the line already, and now, it will never be the same between them. She cries all the time because she has to do something that she doesn’t like. She has to hide the fact that she has feelings for him. How about him?

It was wrong what they did with cross the red line which exactly in front of them, it is wrong in fact that they still going further from that red line. So she stays her way out of him as much as she can. and So does he. Now not only her, but he also tries to stay his way out of her.

This mistake belongs to both of them. She misses him, she needs him. She knows it’s wrong. How about him? He always walks through her, and so does she. Everyone who saw her, worried, but him, he just silently walk through her without any single word.

They knew they cannot be together. It looks cruel what they are doing to each other, but this is for the greater good. She holds the feeling no matter what he feels.

if you were the woman, or if you were the man of this story, what would you do? and what do you suggest them to do?
