Why do I get involved without intention?

Sometimes you just end up being in a situation that we do expect. We do not want to be involved but we end up being there in the time. How to hide or avoid the situation? We can’t cause we are not the one pulling the strings at the top. We are just there. Brian He sat with Aiden on the sitting chairs. The rain started falling the water drops made strings on the large window behind them. Brian looked at the Alya’s file in front of him “Sarah Greenfield”. “She said that to Cynthia?” Aiden looked at the file with an irritated look, “I am having trust issues with her now. She is not the same as you described her from before. What if she had a motive before? ” Brian, “ No that seemed like her more than the others.” He walked to the window. He feels confused and does not know what to think and what to do. One think Brian cannot do is share his feelings. He fisted his right hand he does not know why he is feeling angry. Is it because of how Alya does not talk to him like the old days? Her ignorance is irritating him. If only she ignored totally but no she was around feigning indifference. Why is she doing this? He fisted his hand. “What are you doing Alya?” Alya Alya sat back to her table in the office. She rotated the black pen win between her fingers while reading a paper in the monitor. The rain is pouring strongly. She sighed ‘I wish I was home with a book in front of me’ She was so focused in the monitor that she did not notice the person walking towards her. Helea, “ Hey are you free tomorrow?” Alya jolted up from her seat as if she got shocked from the electricity. “ Yeah sure but why?” Helea chuckled at her , “ I need you to come with me to spy on someone.” Alya looked at her eyes getting bigger, she could not believe her ears, “ Come again ? What are you talking about?” Helea bend forward quickly and hold her mouth. “ Shh.. don’t let anyone know.” Next week after office you and me. Alya pointed at Megan as a gesture of ‘what about telling her?’ But Helea just shook her head “ No just you and me well and Aiden but he does not know anything, you will not spill okay?” She did not know what to make out of this and as her mouth was covered she just nodded her head. Helea smiled and patted her head and walked away. She felt a little confused at what just happened. ‘Must be something crazy between these two.’ She thought Alya got up from her chair and went to the cafeteria to get some snacks for the rest of the day. She was thinking should she get a chocolate doughnut or should she get the new vanilla cake. ‘I am eating too much sweet. I should get something savory’ she nodded to herself. She saw a blond girl standing in front of the order desk and looking at the pastry. Chef Wen looked like someone who does not know what to do in this situation. Cynthia, “ Is this too sweet?” she dropped her head down a bit and looked disappointed. ‘Is she that concerned about the fat?’ Alya thought she put a hand scratching her chin and smiled. “ Hey chef how is everything?” Chef Wen nodded to her “ How is everything Alya?” Alya grinned , “ Mhmm good do you have that sweet potato tart? I missed that when I left” Chef Wen nodded in reply and brought back a hand size tart on a plastic plate. Alya grabbed the plate and bit a chunk. “ Mmm Chef Wen you are a genius, and this is so healthy I do not need to think about the sugar content.” Chef Wen, “Of course sweet potato is good for those who wants to cut down on their sugar consumption.” Alya thanked Chef Wen and took the plate with her. Her eyes meet with Cynthia, she left without saying anything. A few steps later she heard Cynthia speak out “ One sweet potato tart for me as well please.” Her smile broadened she quickly walked out laughing as quietly she can. “Ahhh just a few more hours and I will be done” 5:00pm Alya sighed she feels exhausted her neck felt stiff she moved her neck left and right sitting in the same position for a long time was a bad idea. Megan waved at her; she will be staying late today. Alya, “ Overtime again Megan?” Megan, “ No just a bit late I will get out soon.” Alya felt sad , “ You are working too hard you can continue tomorrow right? ” Megan, “ Nah I should get better.” Alya sighed she looked at the windows, “ It is a bad downpour are you sure you will be okay?” Megan, “ Yeah do not worry I will have someone from the family pick me up. Beside I am not alone in the office.” She was right a few of the people are still in their desks busy with their tasks. Alya, “ Alright just be careful on your way. Call if you need something.” She walked away waving a goodbye. Alya slapped her head when she came to the entrance. The rain was pouring really hard, yet she had no umbrella with her. ‘ But it was sunny in the morning how am I supposed to know?’ She put on her coat and buttoned it up tight. The street was almost empty. ‘Ahh I will be so much drenched before getting a taxi” She peaked out to check how heavy is the rain. ‘ Well here goes’ She stepped out and started walking. She tried to be careful as not to slip in the rain. Her coat became darker in shade for being wet in the corner. She held her bag on top of her head and looking for a taxi. She found a small general store and stood for a while at its porch. She took out a handkerchief and rubbed her hair a bit and shoulders. Maybe I should wait a bit she wanted to go in the store but decided against it. She did not want to make the floor wet. “ You look like you need this.” Alya looked back and saw a guy holding a cup of instant coffee towards her. She thought this guy seemed familiar she stare at him for some time. “ Ahh I know you.” She quickly took the cup from him. “ You are from blues club. You sang the song. Sorry I forgot your name.” she smiled “ I am Fionn, it is nice of you to remember my singing. Funny you are the second person to say that. ” He smiled leaning on the pole. Alya took a sip from the cup the warm drink made her feel a bit better. “ Really that’s a coincidence may I know who it is ?” Fionn, “Megan, She is a regular here she likes the instant meal here. I think she will be here soon.” With the mention of the name Alya almost spitted out her coffee she faked cough to hide her startled. ‘I better get out of here as soon as I can’ Alya quickly gulped down the hot coffee, “ Oh my will you look at that I am getting a bit cold and the rain might stop soon it seems I better run.” The rain was not slowing down rather it will go on for a long time. She did not let Fionn reply and ran out quickly “ Thanks for the coffee.” ‘ Why do I get involved in places where I should not be?’ she finally got a taxi and relaxed a bit. ‘I hope I did not mess up anything’ she could not stop thinking and shook her head. ‘ First Helea now Megan can’t these people date normally?’
