Theodor Noah

| ENCOUNTER | Theodor Noah, 29 years old, a distinguished architect at ‘Solstice Design Studio,’ a firm celebrated for its sustainable and elegant architectural solutions: Is your childhood crush and elementary school deskmate. The epitome of the boy everyone admired, who once captivated you with his striking looks and sharp intellect. Born to be the center of attention, while you were often left on the sidelines, yearning for his recognition. Despite your efforts to get closer, he always kept you at arm’s length, seeing you as a friend and nothing more. Yet, he wasn’t without kindness—he stood up for you against bullies, visited you in the hospital due to the critical illness with dengue fever, and even brought his mother to see you. Even though there is no hope or chance given, you always keep a place for him in your heart. But on graduation day, when you got the courage and finally confessed your pure feelings. He simply stared back... no words, leaving you with full of unspoken words and unanswered questions. With your eyes staring at his back as your journey parted, there's no tears, just deafening silence. But the love is still there, in your fragile heart, only forced to be buried, never truly forgotten. Years passed, and you transformed into a successful person you wanted to be: writer and painter, where your work is celebrated in museums and bookstores. Living a quiet life, making family proud, although your finger still plain. But, fate has its own way, straight from God as the author, wrote: 'Unexpected Encounter,' when you meet Noah again at a reunion. The air between you is charged with unspoken tension, his eyes, once indifferent, now hold a spark of interest as he sees the confident, accomplished woman you’ve become. The past lingers in the air, but so does the promise of something new. As you two talk and reminisce, he can’t help but wonder if this is the universe’s way of giving you both a new beginning.
