MY LONG LOST LOVE

“What if the person you spent years trying to forget… was actually the person who never stopped loving you?”

_________________________________

The final bell rang.

Students immediately rushed out of their classrooms.

But one girl was already running down the hallway as if her life depended on it.

"Miyaka!"

She looked behind her.

"OH NO!"

Their teacher was chasing her.

"Come back here!"

"Sorry, Ma'am!"

"You forgot your homework again!"

Miyaka laughed while running.

"I'm sorry!"

"You said that yesterday!"

"And I'm sorry about yesterday too!"

Behind her, Jason was laughing so hard that he could barely breathe.

"You're going to get expelled one day!"

Miyaka stopped near the school gate and looked at him.

"At least I'll become famous."

"Famous for being the school's biggest troublemaker?"

"Exactly!"

Jason shook his head.

"You're hopeless."

Miyaka suddenly noticed someone standing underneath the tree beside the gate.

Her smile immediately widened.

"Moises!"

Moises looked up from his book.

"You two are running again."

Jason pointed at Miyaka.

"It's her fault."

"Traitor!"

Moises smiled.

"You forgot your homework again?"

Miyaka crossed her arms.

"Why does everyone know me so well?"

"Because you do the same thing every week," Moises replied.

She walked closer to him.

"You know, Moises, you could at least defend me."

"Okay."

Miyaka smiled.

"Really?"

"No."

Jason burst out laughing.

"HAHAHAHA!"

Miyaka glared at them.

"I hate you both."

Moises stood up.

"Come on."

"Where?"

"I'll help you finish your homework."

Miyaka blinked.

"You will?"

"Yes."

Her expression softened.

"You're really nice."

Moises smiled.

"That's why you're my friend."

Something strange happened inside Miyaka's chest.

Her smile disappeared for a moment.

My friend.

She looked at him quietly.

Why did those two words suddenly hurt?

She didn't understand.

Not yet.

---

That afternoon, the three of them sat beneath their favorite tree.

Jason was eating chips.

Moises was doing his homework.

And Miyaka was staring at the clouds.

"Hey, Miyaka."

"Hmm?"

"Are you listening?"

She looked at Moises.

"Yes."

"What did I say?"

"...Something?"

Jason laughed.

"She wasn't listening!"

Miyaka threw a leaf at him.

"Shut up!"

Moises laughed.

"You're weird."

"You like weird."

"Maybe."

Miyaka smiled.

Maybe.

That one word stayed in her mind.

What if he really does like me?

She immediately shook her head.

"No."

Moises looked at her.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"You suddenly look sad."

"I'm not sad."

"Are you sure?"

Miyaka smiled.

"Yeah."

She looked away.

What if someday, Moises meets someone better than me?

She didn't know why she was thinking about it.

They were only children.

They had their whole lives ahead of them.

But sometimes, the heart understands things long before the mind does.

And Miyaka's heart had already begun choosing him.

A gentle breeze moved through the branches, scattering tiny leaves around them. Moises quietly placed his finished notebook beside her, leaving the last page open for her to copy. Miyaka glanced at him and smiled, hiding the warmth spreading across her face.

For now, she said nothing.

She simply stayed beneath the tree with him, wishing the afternoon would never end.

  • MY LONG LOST LOVE   Chapter 19 — The Man Everyone Blamed

    Chapter 19 — The Man Everyone Blamed Miyaka read the sentence again. Then again. He is not the man everyone thinks he is. Her fingers tightened around the edge of the notebook. For years, Adrian Valmont had existed in her mind as nothing more than a name attached to old stories. A businessman. A dangerous man. Someone who had been involved with both the Laurent and Reyes families before disappearing under circumstances nobody could properly explain. Now his name was written in her father's handwriting. Not beneath a warning. Not beside an accusation. But beside a sentence that sounded almost like a defense. Miyaka sat down on the floor. The house was completely silent around her. She turned the page carefully. The next few entries were dated within the same month. Most were short. Some had been crossed out. Others were written so hastily that the ink had scratched into the paper. Valmont approached me again. He says the information was never about money. Miyaka frown

  • MY LONG LOST LOVE   Chapter 18 — The Reyes Secret

    Chapter 18 — The Reyes SecretMiyaka couldn't stop staring at the words carved into the metal plate.REYES BLOOD.They were only two words.Two words shouldn't have been enough to make her feel as though the ground beneath her had shifted.Yet they did.She had spent her entire life knowing she was a Reyes. It was her father's name, her mother's name, the name printed on school records, documents, invitations, and every official piece of paper that had ever belonged to her.It had never meant anything more than family.Now it felt like a warning.Moises was still holding her wrist.His grip wasn't painful, but there was a firmness in it that told her he was genuinely worried.“Don't touch it.”Miyaka looked at him.“You already said that.”“And you're still looking at it like you're going to.”“I wasn't.”“You were.”She gave him a tired look.“You've become very observant.”“I always was.”“Not when Jason was around.”“That was different.”“Because Jason was usually doing something s

  • MY LONG LOST LOVE   Chapter 17 — The Letter Beneath the Tree

    Chapter 17 — The Letter Beneath the Tree They stayed behind the tree until the sound of the other vehicle faded into the distance. Miyaka could still hear her heartbeat. It seemed impossibly loud in the darkness, pounding against her ribs while she tried to make sense of everything that had happened in the last few minutes. The stranger was gone. Whoever had arrived in the second vehicle was gone too. Yet the feeling of being watched remained, clinging to the night like the damp air after the rain. Moises was still holding her hand. Neither of them had mentioned it. His fingers were warm around hers, steady despite the tension in his body. She could feel how tightly he was controlling himself, as if every instinct was telling him to get her somewhere safe and every other part of him knew that running blindly into the darkness would only make things worse. Miyaka finally looked down at their hands. Moises noticed. His fingers loosened. “Sorry.” She didn't pull away. “You do

  • MY LONG LOST LOVE   Chapter 16 — The Stranger in the Rain

    Chapter 16 — The Stranger in the Rain For a few seconds, Miyaka couldn't move. The man stood at the edge of the road with the rain falling around him, his face partially hidden by the darkness. He wasn't close enough for her to make out every feature, but she didn't need to. She remembered the ring. That was enough. Her childhood memory came back with such force that she felt dizzy. A dark coat. Wet earth. The mango tree. A man's voice telling her she shouldn't be there. And that ring. The same strange symbol she had spent the last few days seeing everywhere. Beside her, Moises had gone completely still. “Stay here.” Miyaka caught his sleeve. “No.” He looked at her. “I mean it.” “So do I.” “Miyaka.” “I'm not hiding behind you.” “This isn't about pride.” “I know.” “Then listen to me.” She held his gaze. “I am listening.” His jaw tightened. For a second, neither of them moved. Then he glanced toward the road again. The man hadn't moved either. Miyaka's grip

  • MY LONG LOST LOVE   Chapter 15 — Beneath the Mango Tree

    Chapter 15 — Beneath the Mango TreeFor a long moment, Moises said nothing.Miyaka almost wished he would.The silence between them was becoming too heavy, filled with everything neither of them knew how to say. She could still hear the man's voice from the memory buried somewhere inside her mind.The heir.The word had sounded different when she was a child.Back then, she hadn't understood it.She had probably thought it was a strange nickname.Now, standing in Moises's office with a photograph of their childhood on the desk and a black key marked with the number seventeen between them, the word felt like a warning.Moises finally looked at her.“Are you sure?”Miyaka gave him a tired look.“No.”The honesty surprised him.She folded her arms, trying to hold herself together.“I mean, I remember him saying something. I remember the voice. I remember the ring. But I don't remember everything.”“That doesn't mean it wasn't real.”“I know.”She looked down at the photograph.“I just wi

  • MY LONG LOST LOVE   Chapter 14 — The Secret She Carried

    Chapter 14 — The Secret She Carried Miyaka read the sentence again. Then again. She couldn't make herself look away. She was never the reason they separated you. The words should have relieved her. Instead, they made everything worse. Because beneath them was the sentence that had turned her entire understanding of the past upside down. She was the reason they had to. Her fingers trembled. She hated that they did. For years, she had imagined herself as the person who had been left behind. The abandoned girl. The one who had been waiting beneath the mango tree while Moises disappeared from her life. She had carried that pain quietly because she had believed she understood it. Moises had been forced to leave. She had been left behind. That was the story. Simple. Painful. But simple. Now it wasn't simple anymore. She looked at the photograph. Three children stood beneath the mango tree, smiling at a world they believed was safe. Miyaka stared at her younger self. S
