69 not my friend

"So what is happening here, having fun alone huh?" asked Asbeel looking at Angela and then at the crowd.

"Nothing, let's just go from here." her voice was pleading filled with pain.

He could still see the unshed tears in her eyes. How she was trying to be strong even after everything that happened.

He did not know much, but when he was coming back, he had just heard the last lines. but her eyes were telling him she had suffered more than he could imagine.

His hold on her waist tightened as he brought her close to his body. Yet her touch was gentle to her.

His fingers were cold, yet she felt warmth spread her body. The confidence she had lost completely a moment ago returned, as she tried to give him an assuring smile but miserably failed.

As she could see the disgusted faces of the crowd, it hurt her to the core to drag Asbeel into it. For a moment she felt truly useless, she had no right to claim him.
