Alan stopped Aria from going to the office in the morning, "No need to go to the office. Since your friends are here, have time with them... Does President Cooper like to go on a date with me in the evening?"

Aria nodded her head like a hen picking grains causing him to chuckle. Aria knew Alan's date would be unique instead of just dinner or movie or shopping.

​​

Seeing him off, Aria grabbed Noah's jacket quickly who wanted to escape. Rian had told Noah that he sprouted everything out.

"Sweetie, I have already asked to restock a few dozens of beers and we have a whole wine cellar. And the office, Sister Zara will take care and she knows you are here."

"Where shall we continue?" Eva asked standing next to Aria.

"Stubborn rude fellows." Noah muttered but hugged two girls.

After saying everything out to them, he was light-hearted so he was glad that he had such stubborn friends with him.

"What if you two again start crying?"

Eva responded, "Your wife will pay for it."

Noah's mood soured hearing 'wife' and left the two girls, "I... I don't think we can find her."

Three were shocked.

All sat back on the chair at the dining table and Noah continued his left out story.

"I had called her after realizing how I felt but she hadn't answered the call for a long time. When she answered, I didn't tell her about me and asked her about the marriage since she doesn't want the marriage.

That time she told me that her family isn't simple. They had no independence to choose the life partner for herself and they wouldn't listen to her.

So I asked her whether she loves somebody to which I didn't get a response. Then I asked if she loves me and I didn't get a response.

She avoids responding if she has to lie. Since the answers to it were yes, she didn't tell no.

That time I had asked a series of questions from the first time we met. Then I realized she liked me on the day I had helped her with luggage without seeing her and I had helped with some administration work without checking who it was.

My first time seeing her was when she saved me from Michael Rickman. She liked me so she helped me. She realized it after a few months

Due to her family problem, she never dared to confess. She had once regretted meeting me because she was getting affected by my every action making her all confused about her own behavior.

I asked her where she stays in-country P so that I could bring her then I got to know she wasn't from country P at all but she isn't revealing anything about her.

Now she hardly answers my calls and remains quiet by just hearing me."

First question: "When is her marriage?"

Noah responded, "Next month, the second Sunday."

Time: check

The second question, "Did you confess to her about your feelings?"

After Aria asked it, the other two realized Noah didn't mention a single word like that.

Noah knew he would get scolded but he still said, "She is already down, I didn't want to add more."

Confession: Uncheck

"You pigheaded man." Aria and Eva started raining punches on him while Rian snatched his mobile to call Kyle Mason.

Rian dialed the number which was under Kyle's name. All heard the operator's voice, "The number you are calling doesn't exist."

Two girls froze with Rian and shot a deadly glare to Noah.

Noah hated this part, "I know it's weird but I always gave into her. So we were always Skyping after returning to the country."

Aria: 😵

Eva: 😮

Rian: 😶

Two girls went back to their seats and weren't sure whether to cry or beat him up.

Eva asked, "So we don't know anything about her."

Noah nodded. Else he would have searched and brought her with him.

Rian ignored Noah, "Why do I feel like there is no girl like Kyle? And it is all an illusion."

Eva added, "What if she is an Alien?"

While those two continued their imagination, Aria stared at the embarrassed face of Noah.

Kyle didn't mind lying about her to others but she didn't lie to Noah. She hid her address, her accent was a lot more like us. If she doesn't stay in country P, Country A and X were left.

Kyle had remembered seeing Noah somewhere when they had met but she hadn't continued the topic.

"Kyle is from country A and I don't think her name is real. I can't hack the Skype network, if I get caught, I'll be dead. So picture... Noah, Send me her picture."

Three froze hearing her without understanding how she came to the conclusion.

Eva said after some time, "Before that, you muddle-headed dumbest fool, confess to her. You can't just say you will look after her and keep her safe. You have to confess to her and give her a reason first."

Rian quickly opened Skype and dialed Kyle. They tried twenty plus times but it wasn't answered.

Aria sent Kyle's picture to Levi to search for her but Levi called Aria. She excused herself from the three to talk to Levi.

"President Cooper, if you have connections with the chief of police, they could get the information in no time by the picture. As we don't have any other information, it will take us a long time."

Aria thought for a second, "Nope, I never got a chance to be acquainted with them... Alan has. Okay, how about you guys continue and I will check that way?"

Levi responded and hung up the call.

Aria knew Alan would help her but she didn't want to trouble him when she wasn't sure Kyle was from country A.

Seeing her zoned out, Rian asked, "What happened?"

Aria responded to him as she went back to them. "Our all data like iris scan, fingerprints, facial scan are saved in the state administration highly secured data. It isn't safe to touch that data from hackers or anybody other than high-level administrative employees. Levi suggested it is an easier way to get information instead of investigating small fragments and joining them for a long time. Chief in the police could help us but I don't know him."

Rian suggested, "Jake Davis1 is a cop."

Eva rolled her eyes, "Oh please, he isn't even captain."

Rian knocked on her head, "We can ask him about who could help us out."

Aria shook her head, "I will ask Alan to connect me with the Chief of police."

Noah shot up, "Guys, aren't you doing too much without knowing anything? And I don't want you guys to work up and feel bad if we don't get to know anything."
