The Unexpected Meeting

The little blonde girl looked at the face of Aiden who sat beside her, as if there was something strange and unusual about this chubby boy.

Aiden,who initially devoured a sandwich, was forced to stop because he was uncomfortable with the look in her eyes.

"Uhm... do you want one? I still have one more piece!"

"No thanks. I was just curious, why are your eyes like that?" Aiden who had heard the question many times, was forced to repeat her answer.

"My mom says I have heterochromia iridum." He answer.

"What's that?" Asked the little girl innocently.

"That means he's an alien, hahahaha..." Kevin shouted who suddenly entered the classroom with his four friends.

"Hey Cindy, you better not go near him, he's an alien. Just look at his big body, it's because he often eats lizards and frogs!"

"I don't eat lizards!"

"You're a liar! Surely this sandwich has lizard meat in it? I saw you caught a lizard yesterday!"

"I caught the lizard to help my mom!"

"Oh yes, your mom is a frog surgeon. Alien family, Aiden alien, Aiden alien!" Kevin shouted excitedly.

"Hahaha... you fat, monster-eyed alien!"

"I'm not an alien!" Aiden held back his tears, as everyone one by one started laughing at him by shouting the same sentence.

"Eat this! Eat quickly! You fat alien monster!" Kevin shouted as he took a sandwich in Aiden's lunchbox and forced Aiden to eat it.

His two friends pulled Aiden's hand, so Kevin could more easily launch his action so that Aiden choked.

"Cough...!" Aiden choked, a piece of bread caught in his throat.

"Wow... he's choking, let's run!" Seeing Aiden who was already helpless, Kevin and his four friends ran out of the classroom.

"Aiden, drink this!" The little blonde girl gave Aiden his water bottle.

Aiden tried to hold back his tears, he felt very ashamed of himself. Even when he came home from school the situation was not much different.

Aiden who had just gotten off the school bus, stood frozen in front of his door when he heard his mother and father screaming loudly.

"Don't worry, I will leave this house!" Shouted Aiden's mother.

"Go! I don't need a woman like you!"

Aiden was silent, he looked at the house he had lived in for 10 years of his life. Somehow he felt, his life after this would be much harder.

"Okay, good job, Aiden!" Lucas said, the photographer who photographed Aiden for an advertisement for a men's skin care brand.

After spending four hours on shooting and video shooting, Aiden's work today ended perfectly.

"You look stressed, what happen?" Chloe asked.

"Me? No, nothing!"

"So, is that just how I feel?"

"Yeah, I brought a car, so you don't have to drive me home!"

"You want to go?"

"Only to the gym, I've been skipping training for two days!"

"Did you know any models from England have started joining our agency?"

"Seriously? I don't know. Women?

"Yes, woman, they said she was very beautiful. But I didn't get to ask her name. Stacy said she had brown hair, green eyes and about 175cm tall."

"So, what?"

"You know what Stacy is like if there's a new model who says really pretty. She's going to get really nervous because she's so scared of being overtaken."

"Are women always like that?"

"Not really, I'm not like that! I've never been afraid of being rivaled by anyone. Besides, I'm self-aware, I'm not pretty, so I'd better live my life casually."

"You're beautiful, Chloe!" Said Aiden with a smile.

"Wow... you're complimenting me, huh? I'm so flattered!"

"Yeah it's fine, can I go now?"

"Why the rush?"

"It's almost four o'clock, I want to finish before evening."

"Okay, be careful, okay? Don't forget tomorrow at 10 there will be a photo shoot at the Greenewoodz building!"

"Okay!" Aiden exited the large five-story building into the parking lot where his red Lamborghini Veneno Roadster was parked.

Meanwhile in another place, a young woman who a few days ago had an argument with Aiden because of the most popular story she wrote involving Aiden.

Mr Banana whose real name is Karenina Christine Morales, a third-year student majoring in communication science at one of the universities in the city of New York.

Nina is a student from the Philippines who worked hard to be able to pursue her dream of continuing her studies in the country of her dreams and won a scholarship.

Diligent and hardworking, that's the picture of the tough woman behind the popular story "I Know You Want Me" that managed to make Aiden dizzy.

This 22-year-old girl came out of the bookstore when the sky was cloudy. She glanced at her watch, it was already 5:10 pm.

She started running when the rain started to fall to the ground. Realizing that she didn't bring an umbrella and the bus stop was quite far away, this girl decided to take shelter at a Gym Center.

"Damn, I should have brought an umbrella!" She muttered as she rubbed her wet head.

Her body shivered, considering the air in this country is much colder than her hometown which is known as a tropical country.

"Cold! Please stop quickly!" But it looks like the rain won't stop anytime soon. Watching the drops of water fall more and more heavily.

This girl peeked out of the Gym Center window, wondering if she could come in and take shelter inside. However, considering her wet clothes, it would definitely trouble the guards of this place.

A few minutes later, Aiden came out of the door to check how much rain had fallen.

The two humans stared at each other with expressions of disbelief that were strange to have met in a place like this.

"You?" Say them at the same time.

"What are you doing here?" Aiden asked, showing excessive distrust, especially considering how much he hated and resented this woman.

"I'm taking shelter, can't you see?" What are you doing yourself? Take shelter too?"

"What? Take shelter? Does someone like me deserve shelter? I'm driving a car, not a pedestrian like you!"

"Who's the pedestrian? I'm taking the bus!"

"Why don't you just take a taxi? Oh yeah, I forgot, a stingy girl like you can't possibly spend more money to pay for a taxi fare!"

"Why is your mouth so rough, huh? What grudge do you have against me?"

"What grudge? You're still asking what kind of grudge? You don't remember what you did to me?"

"What have I done to you?"

"You crazy woman, don't pretend you forgot, okay? Oh well, there's no use talking for someone like you!" Aiden walked away, ending a pointless bickering with this troublesome amateur writer.

Meanwhile, Nina who doesn't believe that there is a strange man like Aiden in this world, can only curse in her heart.

A few minutes later, a red super car stopped in front of her. The car window opened, revealing the figure of Aiden who smiled contentedly to see Mr Banana struggling to take shelter under the roof of the Gym Center.

"What do you want? Want to give me a ride?"

"What? You're too confident, Senorita! I'm just making fun of you, because it looks like you're languishing there, hahahaha..."

"Wow Aiden, your car is very nice, may I take a ride all the way to the bus stop?" Nina asked when she saw a shiny super car that made her self-esteem waver and forced her to be a sycophant.

"You're licking me, aren't you? I can't stand that kind of thing. Besides, someone like you doesn't deserve to sit in my car, you better run to the bus stop!"

"You are so arrogant, huh? How your parents raised you? Don't you feel sorry for the mom who gave birth to you until you grow up to be a human with no conscience?"

"Damn it, why is she talking about parents?" Aiden thought.

Every time he heard Mother's words, Aiden's deliberate arrogance made him feel very embarrassed. The strange attacks that almost always appear at times like this make the real Aiden come to the fore.

"Okay, I'll take you, come on in!"

"Wow... really? Thank you!" Aiden swiftly opened the car door which had been impossible for her to ride.

"My car could get wet! Clean it with this towel!" He said as he handed me a dry towel.

"Okay!"

Aiden sighed, unable to believe he had been manipulated by his enemy so easily.

"Where did you study?"

"New York University majoring in communication science!"

"I didn't ask your major!"

"Maybe you're curious about me!"

"Absolutely not! Oh yeah, what's your real name?"

"You're really curious about me, aren't you?"

"Just answer!"

"Nina!"

"Nina? Is that your real name?"

"Yes, my name is Karenina, but my friends just call me Nina."

"An ordinary name!"

"Is your name extraordinary?"

After 100 meters of Aiden's super car, the road ahead looked very congested, as if there were roadworks in the middle of a heavy rain like this.

"Wow... traffic jam, how is it?" Aiden asked, meanwhile the drenched Nina looked even paler and shivering.

"Okay, I'll just get off here! I'll walk to the bus stop."

"In wet clothes like that?"

"It's okay, thank you!"

"Hey, want to come to my apartment?"
