Truth About Alex!

As the days turned into weeks, the absence of Alex weighed heavily on Lily's mind. She couldn't shake the feeling that his sudden departure might indeed be linked to her rejection, even though he had assured her otherwise.

She tried to reach Alex through his phone number but she couldn't as it always says that he is busy. 

This further led to her believing that maybe Alex didn't want to speak with her. However, she was determined.

Lily decided to reach out to Alex's parents to get some clarity. She got their contact information through her parents.

It wasn't easy though. She asked for their number but was firmly rejected by her mother and father.

However, she didn't give up and kept on pestering them until her mother finally gave in.

"Here!"

Her mother gave her the contact of Alex's parents but seemed very reluctant. Lily excitedly went to grab the paper with the number but her mother was still holding it in her hands.
