Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 161: Will five years of time remain the same?

Alan tried his all but Aria continued to cry for quite a long time.

Even though he initially wanted her to study staying beside him, he didn't want her dream to study in the top university to be unfulfilled.

He wanted to be her strong support without guiding her wrong way just because she fell weak thinking about leaving him.

Somehow convincing her, he sent her to get fresh and fed her breakfast in the room seeing her eyes swollen.

He took her with him to the office and Aria followed him all day long holding his arm in a gloomy mood.

It repeated for the rest of the days almost making him feel like he was babysitting a crybaby rather than staying with his fiancee.

He didn't care about anything other than Aria. He was fine to see her every side with him as she doesn't show it to anybody.

He was more than willing to be her confidant for their whole life.

Isaac and Eva planned dinner for three families with Aria. It was their last dinner before one by one to leave for a different country.

The parent's heart was aching to see them leave but Amelia was double worried seeing the two little ones leaving. Even if she was fine with Rian who would be frequently visiting them, she didn't want Aria to work and study so hard.

Isaac and Alan who stood aside saw teenagers chattering and parents sighing. The former commented, "I don't think when we left to study abroad our parents worried about us so much. These little ones are stealing all the affection."

Alan looked emotionless but was more worried about Aria than anyone in there.

He was many times on the verge to tell Aria to return after just graduation, post-graduation wasn't required but he controlled himself to be strong.

If she says she would like to return after graduation, he was ready to say yes for it without a single thought.

First to leave was Noah and last to leave was Eva.

The trio went with Wood's family to see off Noah who calmed his mother and sister who were crying.

While dropping Rian, Amelia sobbed in Rowan's arms without getting affected by Rian joking. He lectured Aria and Eva before bidding his brother.

Roxy was en routing from her father's place so Rian was alone when he left city B.

...

Alan tenth time tried to pack Aria's things but she kept them away each time, "I'll join some college here with the paid seat. I don't want a scholarship."

Alan made her stand on the armchair to face him but Aria spoke, "How about you shift Skyline and Morgan Industries headquarters to Country S?"

Alan sighed spreading his hands. Aria wrapped her hands around his neck with her legs around his waist, "Alan, I will miss you there. You also come with me."

Alan didn't arrange any work and wasn't going anywhere that day so he pampered and coaxed her whole day as he packed.

The next day evening was Aria's flight.

Alan had instructed Nathan to give him a fake emergency call and left her in the morgan mansion after lunch.

Aria waited for him, called him, and messaged him but got 'Busy in an emergency meeting.' message each time.

He knew well she wouldn't agree to leave him if he goes to see her off. He didn't want her to become weak at the airport. So he purposefully avoided knowing she wouldn't throw such a tantrum to his parents.

Amelia and Rowan didn't like how Alan prioritized work over Aria to which she calmed them saying it wasn't a problem as he was with her all day on the previous day.

She bid them and Eva who was already crying but Aria wasn't showing herself as weak.

"You better send your drafts of the novel to me first. I'll feed you to a shark if you forget and get along well with new friends."

Eva chuckled and flirted a few minutes to lighten their mood.

Isaac bid Aria saying, "I'll visit you whenever I can."

Aria nodded, "You better don't ignore your investor. I'll watch your 'Commander' movie screening from there. Give your best."

Isaac rubbed her head and let her leave. He hugged his girlfriend who had started missing her Goddess.

Aria kept turning back to see if Alan came but he didn't reach her nor even called.

She opened her clutched fist to see the couple diamond rings she had bought for them. She wanted to give Alan before leaving but...

'Five years will be over soon.'

She repeated to herself and moved ahead while keeping the rings to her bag but she didn't notice them falling on the floor and rolled over when it got crowded and she got pushed aside.

Everyone had forgotten five years weren't short.

1185 days...

43800 hours...

2628000 minutes...

Too many things could happen in that period of time.

Many get new love, many break up.

Many find new crushes, many forget their old crushes.

Many get busy with their own life and problems giving less importance to what they had prioritized at first.

The long-distance wouldn't only make the couple yearn to be with the other one but it could also create lots of miscommunication.

Seeing some other one close could also make them get jealous. Without seeing the one you loved, you could feel loneliness and find another resort.

As time flies you could drift apart unknowingly affecting badly to the relation.

Even if time means nothing, there are numerous good, kind-hearted people ready to do and sacrifice anything for you.

Trust could be gained easily but losing it once would always leave the permanent mark on the relationship.

Will Aria and Alan overcome all the difficulties, heartaches, heartbreaks, disappointments, insecurities, longing, distance, differences, new lifestyles, opposite opinions, busy life plans, mistakes, personal goals, overprotectiveness, over-attachment, temptation, new beginnings, heavy schedules, opposite day times, five-year growth, arguments, decision making, unnecessary and change in emotions, new people in their life?

Will five years of time for them remain the same?

Aria boarded the plane. She sat in her seat and heard, "Hey!"

She turned to see Finn Stanley who smiled like a cool breeze extending his hand for a handshake.

A man in the airport caught two rings which were rolling on the ground...

The two shook their hands in the flight as it took off...
