“Man with no weakness”

Episode- 112 “Man with no weakness” **  Alisa’s POV** The next evening, I am at work, it’s already time to end the day, I can see the sky filled with red colour as the sun is close to sink in night. I looked at my phone as I got no news from Edwin… but he never tells me anything what I am accepting from him?....love or affection?.... I know he can never love me then why is he in my mind. I was disturbed by tapping sound on the glass table, I looked at Vic smiling at me, I smiled back. I said, “Ah.. sorry… I was just…” I saw his smile getting bigger. I said while getting up, “Do you need anything?” Vic took my hand in his and said playfully, “A coffee with you” I was in a café with Vic, he ordered coffee, he said, “This place is the best,,, I want to bring you here… and I missed you.” I smiled at him. I noticed Vic also ordered some cake and I looked at him, because they were my favorite. Vic said, “I know you used to eat this a lot in our high school….” I asked, “You noticed!... but you never look at me, we never talked.” He chuckled with smiled, “Yes, but how can I ignore you…. but you can call me coward.” I was surprised by his words and expression, like he is guilty. he noticed my expression and said, “I was scared of them bullying me as well…. So I kept distance…. You know I was good at math, physics and chemistry but …… I failed in courage every time…. I failed to protect you…. but I will not from now on.” I understand him, the bullies were ruthless., I knew no one will stand for me, and protect me. who will risk there is peace, comfort and most importantly life for someone like me… I was surprised by memory from that day, when Edwin saved me from that pervert… he didn’t think at all, he just saved me… I know because I saw it in his eyes… so, he risked his life for someone like me right?..... what I am even thinking… I noticed Vic holding my hand and said, “Sorry if I bring back your painful memories…. Sorry, I will not talk about it anymore, promise.” He appeared promising and cute…. I smiled and said, “Don’t worry.. I am fine. And the bullies stop one by one in the end of year…” Vic answered while nodding his head, he added, “Most of them drop the school after the leaders death, right?.... weird.” I know that was weird, the bullies were vanished in one week after their leaders death…. everyone said they killed him and left the school… some said someone stronger came face to face to them…. but we never knew the truth… and honestly I was not interested because I was having less trouble in school,  was just busy in handling myself…. I suddenly thought of Edwin, I looked at Vic who was staring at me while having his coffee. I said, “Vic,,,, can I ask you something?” Vic gave me a ‘sure’ face and I asked, “Do you know why Edwin is like this?.... I mean I feel like I don’t even know him…” Vic face frozen, he moved close to me and said, “Alisa, don’t mention him… because I feel jealous when you say his name like that…” I asked still confusion, “Like what?” Vic chuckled and said, “Like you care for him… I wish you could do the same for me.” I looked down, I feel like a criminal whenever I see Vic like that, the fact that he loves me and supports me when I need while I just end up hurting him… it  sucks…. I took a deep breath and asked, “Will you answer my question first?” I tried to hold tight to myself so I won’t show how nervous I feel. I can see Vic talking a deep breath and said, “I don’t know… he is always cold but he can do can do anything for his love once… I mean it, anything… and he likes to keep rest of the things secret ….. but I know one thing he the man with no weakness…..” Vic’s words seemed like warning even though his tone of voice was of worry…. Everything about Edwin is confusing but fascinating….
