Trapped 1 : "First Impressions"

It was a fine morning when Nora woke up and got ready for some urgent work. She dressed up and headed to her destination in a cab, constantly checking her mobile for notifications. She was waiting for a text from someone special.

As she arrived at the office, she was surprised to find that it was her appreciation day. Her colleagues had planned a surprise party to celebrate her outstanding work, complete with flowers, gifts, and a cake-cutting ceremony. After everyone had finished eating, Nora gazed out the window and saw the watchman talking to his wife. He made a romantic gesture, trying to propose to her despite his age and joint pain. His wife smiled, and they shared a tender moment, filling Nora's heart with happiness and longing for pure love.

Just then, Nora's mobile rang. She wanted to pick it up, but the call ended. She then received a notification that read, "I'm waiting, come fast." Her heart skipped a beat as she quickly hailed a cab. Without explaining her hurry, she urged the driver, "Please go fast!" However, they soon found themselves stuck in a traffic jam.

Nora's eyes lit up as she received a new message from that special someone: "I'm stuck in a traffic jam, Nora. Can you wait for me?" She frantically scanned her surroundings, searching for a glimpse of him. Finally, she spotted him, and her heart overflowed with unconditional love. Tears welled up in her eyes as she texted back, "Wait, hold on, I'm coming, Nova!"

Nova's response was brief: "Sure." Just then, the traffic began to move. Nora quickly got out of the cab and saw Nova standing by the road. With a radiant smile, she sprinted towards him on the main road.

[Flashback]

"Hey, hi! This is Nora!! Isn't my smile just captivating? Back then, I was a little, brave, and super smart girl. Everyone loved me because I spread positivity wherever I went. They thought I was kind, sweet, and gentle... but shh, don't tell anyone, I was actually a bit naughty too!

It was my first day in 3rd grade, and I was excited to see my classmates again. But I was searching for someone special, someone who'd become my partner in crime... and then I found her! My best friend Sumi was adorable, and I thought she was even cuter than me! But she insisted I was the cute one... girls are weird, right?

Sumi made a new friend, and I got a bit possessive. Her name was Rana, which I thought was a pretty weird name. But then... I met him. Nova.

Yeah, guys, it's that time... I meet him."

"I'll never forget the moment we met. I was writing something, lost in my own little world, when suddenly I was startled. He appeared out of nowhere, standing incredibly close to me. I was shocked, my mind blank for a second. All I could see was his mouth, but I couldn't quite make out his smile. I didn't get a good look at his face.

he's moving away from me.' "My mind was racing, 'Don't go, when He moved closer, I felt my heart skip a beat. he moved away, I saw him from a distance, but still couldn't see his face clearly.

"Sumi broke the silence, 'Hyy Nora, did you hear me? Why are you standing like a statue?' Me asked about the boy, 'Who is he?' she replied, 'He's a new student.' Sumi continued, 'I don't know his name, but he came to talk to Rana. Apparently, he's Rana's neighbor.'

"Sumi tried to snap me back to reality, 'What's up now, Nora? Come on, I'm telling you about my holiday trip.'"
