Bound By Love, Lost By Fate
Ep-2: Who is she Protecting?
Without hesitation, Noah entered the hall—disguised in a cap and mask. Richard, a security aide, accompanied him and arranged a nearby seat.
From the shadows, Noah’s eyes kept drifting toward her—Eva. She seemed lost in the film, sharing popcorn with the man beside her.
After sometime, The movie halts. The interval banner flashes across the screen. The lights come on halfway
Eva
I’m going to the washroom
As Eva exited, Noah followed silently.
At the washroom exit, Eva washed her hands, dabbing them dry with a tissue. As she turned back toward the hall, a strong hand grabbed her, pulling her into a deserted corner.
A palm clamped over her mouth. She struggled fiercely.
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
(Soft but firm)Stop… stop struggling, Angela. Look… it’s me
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
*He slowly uncovered his face*
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
*loosen his grip on her*
Eva
Who are you? And who the hell is Angela? I’m Evelyn.*replied coldly*
Noah stood frozen, his breath caught in his chest.
Her voice was sharp—unfamiliar. Cold. Final.
Before he could utter a word, she turned and walked away, her heels clicking against the floor like punctuation marks to his shattered hope.
Outside the theatre, the same man stepped toward her.
Man
Eva? What happened ? Is everything okay? The movie has already started and you haven't come back. So, I came to check in...
Eva
*She just shook her head, eyes avoiding his*
Eva
I’m not feeling well. I want to go home.
Man
Is it a headache? Pain in your head again?
Eva
(Quietly) No… I just want to leave. Please.
The man nodded, gently placing a hand on her back as they started walking toward the exit.
From a distance, Noah stared at their fading silhouettes—like ghosts disappearing into the dusk of a past he couldn't grasp anymore.
Richard stepped beside him, watching Noah’s face twist with confusion, heartbreak, and disbelief.
Richard Tedro
Noah… are you alright?
Noah’s voice cracked as he spoke, more to himself than anyone else.
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
I don’t know, Richard… After all these years, I thought I’d be angry. I thought I’d ask her why. How could she leave me like that? But the moment I saw her… I couldn't help it. I was pulled back—like gravity. And then… she said she doesn’t even know me. She denied everything—denied herself. For what? For him?
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
*His fists clenched. His eyes remained fixed on the place where she had stood seconds ago.*
Nicolas D'Angelo (Noah)
(Whispers) Why is she hiding, Richard? Who is she protecting? *in a sad tone*
