The morning sun had just gone up.
The alarm clock on the table started ringing crazily. A young man with his half-closed eyes turned off the clock with great difficulty.
He went back to sleep again. But that damn clock would not just stop and started ringing again in 5 minutes.
He sat up in his bed and finally turned off the clock.
It was 5:15 a.m.
Noah had to go to work. He was 24 years old and had just finished his university last month.
He was looking for a job, but getting one was not that easy.
So he was working in a coffee shop temporarily. His job started at 7:00 a.m.
But Noah did physical exercise regularly before going to work. It was his habit.
This good habit also brought him a good look and good physical features.
He freshened up and after that tidied up his bed.
He lived in a single-room apartment built for bachelors. His family lived in a small town far from the city.
After doing his 1 hour of exercise, he took a bath and got ready for work. He always had his breakfast at the coffee shop. The owner was a relative of his, so he was good to him.
Noah took out his bicycle and started paddling to go to the coffee shop. He was crossing a four way intersection when he suddenly saw his girlfriend in a luxurious car.
At first he thought he saw something wrong, but there was still a little doubt in his mind, so he started following that car. Because his girlfriend also belonged to a middle-class family. She was his batchmate and was now working as a receptionist in a company.
Noah was muttering under his breath,
"This cannot be Mira. I am thinking too much. I should go back to work, or else customers would start coming and uncle will not be able to handle everyone."
But he still followed the car for an unknown reason. The car was going in the direction where Mira lived.
Soon the car stopped in front of Mira's apartment and the girl came out.
Noah instantly stopped his cycle at a distance.
It was Mira, no doubt about it. But she was wearing a very skin showing dress and also looked like she had not slept the night.
Then a boy came out from the driving side. Noah knew this boy, he had seen him at Mira's office talking to her.
She said he was the boss's son. Though Noah did not like that boy, Mira needed that job and he could not support her with his meagre salary. He thought at most Mira would just talk to him sometimes.
The boy came out of his car and caught Mira by her waist and kissed her. Mira also responded with a passionate look on her face.
He then put his hand inside Mira's pants, she still did not stop him.
"Okay Mira, last night was fantastic, I will pick you up in the evening today. No need to tell that loser about us. He is just a sucker."
Mira nodded and turned to enter her apartment. That boy slapped her ass, Mira just gave a seductive smile.
Noah saw this entire scene. He did not know when his eyes turned blurry. Tears started rolling down from his eyes. He was clenching his fist so tightly that blood was coming out from his hand.
Noah just could not accept the fact that Mira had cheated on him. They had been a couple for 2 years now. She was always a nice girl.
Noah loved her so much that he even gave half of his salary to Mira every month, as Mira was paying a loan she had taken when she was a student.
Her salary alone could cover her cost. But Noah was happy to help her. He was a good student, never wasted his time on unnecessary things. So he was confident that he would be able to get a good job soon and then he would marry Mira and settle down in the city.
But all his dreams just crumbled in front of his eyes.
He did not go to ask her why she did this to him. He took out his phone, blocked her from everywhere, and deleted everything related to her.
He tried to pull the cycle, but could not. It felt too heavy for him now.
He called his uncle,
"Uncle, I will not be able to make it to work. Can I get a day off, please?"
Nathan, his uncle, was surprised when he heard Noah was asking for a day off willingly.
He always asked him to go on a date with his girlfriend, but Noah said it would be too burdensome for him to handle all the customers alone.
Nathan loved Noah like his own son, Noah was the son of his good friend.
Nathan smiled, "Okay, go ahead. I will handle everything here."
Noah did not reply, he was aimlessly pulling his cycle while he was walking.
Everything suddenly felt too dull. Then he thought maybe it was for the best. He could not give her enough time or a good life, that was why she chose a better option.
Noah was thinking all kinds of things while walking.
Then he went inside a nearby park and sat down on a seat under a tree, because the morning sun was already up and the sunshine was getting brighter with every passing second.
He was looking toward the distance and was thinking about the two years he had been with Mira. It was really a good time.
Suddenly he thought something unusual, what if that boy was threatening her and forced her?
He suddenly felt a hope rise inside him. He unblocked her number and called her.
The phone rang a few times, then it was picked.
"Hello, Noah! What do you want at this hour of the morning?"
She probably went to sleep just now.
Noah did not beat around the bush and asked,
"Mira, today I saw you with a boy."
Mira did not answer for a while, then said, "Well,what do you expect? Do you want me to ruin my life waiting for your success? Do you even deserve me? Except that pretty face of yours, what do you even have? Now that you know, do not call me anymore. Thank god, I will not have to do acting all the time."
She hung up the phone.
Tears were rolling down from Noah's eyes nonstop. The little hope was also gone now. She did it with her own free will.
Some elders came to the park for morning exercise and saw he was crying.
Seeing a grown man crying felt awkward to them. But then they went to do their own thing.
Time was ticking down, Noah did not even remember that he had not eaten yet.
15 hours passed in that manner. It was already deep night.
Noah was still sitting on the bench. At last hunger won and he had to bring his focus back.
He felt really weak now. Hunger and tension had totally worn him out.
Suddenly he heard a soft and very charming female voice inside his head.
Before he could even fully hear what that voice had to say, he shouted,
"Fuck off from here bitch."
He thought maybe a whore had come to seduce him at night.
Then he looked around, but there was no one there.
"A ghost? First Mira and now a ghost is playing with me? Am I a plaything for every woman?"
But then he heard the voice again,
