51 CHAPTER 51: 'sETHAN, I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING”

"Don't they look perfect together?" Lisa said to Caleb when she saw Ethan and Aisha at the dance floor. Caleb was just staring at her smiling face. She really looks gorgeous tonight. Caleb was just ogling at her when he saw a guy approaching their table. The man is looking intently at Lisa. Caleb flares up in annoyance.

"Then would you like to dance as well?" Caleb stood up immediately offering his hand to Lisa. Lisa eyed him suspiciously.

"Damn this woman! can you stop your pervert thoughts!" then he forcedly pulled her to the dance floor. Lisa creased her brow as she pouted with her arms crossed. "Shall we?" Caleb smiled victoriously.

"Do I even have a choice?" Lisa glares at him but then she holds his hand as they started to dance with the music. The first love song ended then another song is played, some guests decided to join the others.

"When you wake up each morning, and you feel like calling,

"I'll be there for you,

"When the road seems uncertain, and you can't stop the hurtin'

"I'll be there for you," The song continued.

Aisha can feel Ethan's heart beating clearly. She can smell his cool fragrance and she can feel his cold breath in her ears. She's loving the tenderness that she is feeling at the moment. But she never heard Ethan spoke to her since the other day. Though she knew that Ethan is not mad at all, but his sudden silence gave her discomfort.

"uhm, E-Ethan…?" She calls his name in a hush voice

"Ehm…" He answered.

"A-are we good?" she asks, still leaning at Ethan's shoulder.

"ehm, Of course." He smiles moderately. Aisha is not convinced so she looks at his eyes, as if looking for something that is not there. Her forehead speaks off her worries.

"Why? is there something wrong?" Ethan asked as he smiles lightly. Aisha shifted her gaze sideways. Seems like something is off, she kinda feels nervous all of a sudden. But why?

"The rainbow will end, In the palm of your hand,

"Don't ever let it go,

"When the stars won't shine anymore,

"I'll be there….

"Who knows where we'll go,

"What will tomorrow bring,

"But we have each other, Just hold on tight,

"We can take to the skies and fly…

"I'll be there for you….

"I'll be there for you…

Aisha and Ethan was silent for a few second as they listen to the song. Ethan can see her hesitation. She really wants to say something but she's thinking twice.

"uhm, Ethan… W-what if, what if someone lied to you?" She mumbles unconsciously.

"Eh? What do you mean?" He asks.

"ah, what if you've been lied to? What will you do?" she tried to fix her question. She looks at him. Ethan gaze somewhere as if he's thinking carefully.

"Well, basically I will get angry at that person. But it depends on the reason though." He answered.

"And what if that person deceived you?"

"well, that's a terrible case. I don't think I can ever forgive that person." His voice is firm. Aisha gulps. She felt her knees tremble a bit but Ethan held her lower back.

"Are you okay?" he asked her.

"Y-yes! I'm sorry." She smiles unsteadily. "I-I just feel sorry for a friend." She explains.

"You don't look good at all; do you like to go back?" Ethan queries.

"ah, yeah sure." Aisha fake a smile when they went back to their table. She saw Eli and Master Omni smiling at them.

The host continued the celebration but either Ethan and Aisha spoke the whole celebration. They only speak when they are being asked.

After the post celebration party, each guest started to bid their goodbyes. Caleb and Lisa said their goodbyes to the couple.

"Make sure to send her home safely." Aisha eyed Caleb dangerously.

"Of course, Just count on this gentleman!" Caleb brags.

"Stacy, are you sure you will entrust your best friend's life to this person?" Lisa complains.

"Ha-ha! Of course. Just go and be safe. Call me when you get home." Aisha smiled at them. Lisa hug her before they totally left.

"Then I'll get going too." Master Omni approaches them. He caresses Eli's hair who is soundly sleeping at Ethan's shoulder.

"Take care Grandpa, thanks for coming." Aisha smiled at him.

"Anything for my grandson." He smiled back.

"Ethan, take care." Master Omni patted Ethan's shoulder then he kissed Stacy on the cheek before leaving.

"Bye grandpa. Call us when you get home." Ethan spoke.

The hotel is almost empty, the staffs started to fix the hall. Larry approaches them to let them know that the car is ready.

Inside the car, only Eli's vague snooze can be heard. Larry doesn't know as to why these couple are so silent all throughout the drive.

Ethan laid Eli on his bed as soon as they arrived home. Aisha, on the other hand is standing outside the mini terrace of their room. she was looking at the bright stars while in deep thought. After a while, Ethan stood beside her as he gazes at the stars in the sky.

"Ethan, what if one day you will discover that the person you thought you've found was not actually the person you were expecting her to be?" Aisha asked out of the blue. There was silence for some seconds.

"Care to elaborate it further?" Ethan asks as he faces her.

"Ethan, I need to tell you something." She faces him earnestly.
