*** Years Later***Lea POV“Have you heard? She was a divorced woman”“Really? How come she looks so young? And who is that person beside her? Isn’t she Ms. Klein?”Words can be heard. Even though they are whispering, I can hear it so well. They don’t seem to hide it after all.“Lea, I am so happy that you are back”Sylphia giggled as she hugs me.“Its been a while, Sylphia”I smile as I hug her back. Even though she would visit me from time to time, I can’t help but miss her this much. After all, she is like a sister to me.“It really is. Do you know how nosy Elton has been? Well, after you leave their wedding without even showing up, Aiya was so sad. I feel a bit bad for her but I let her know you are there. But yup, many things change in this place. You see?”Nodding my head, it was really true. I have heard some news while I was overseas. That the government started to take actions. And to think that Mira would lead that… I can’t help but wonder what she is doing. As for Aiden… he
“Here, I guess this is the place”Aiden mumbled as they are now in front of a cabana with white curtains.“You can… bring me down now”I mumbled as soon as she realized that it would be hard for him to open the door if he was carrying me.“Can you stand up?”“I think so..”Putting me down, I can feel how gently he did that as possible. As if I would break if he wasn’t careful. What is with him? it is not as if he was like this before… many things surely change and with this guy, why do I feel like there is a reason for his changes?Is it… that lady I saw before?Conscience then struck my nerves. It is not as if I am doing something bad… or am I really?“Sorry”I suddenly mumbled. It seems like he finally opened the door….“Yes?”“Nothing, I just realized how you would be in trouble after carrying me. What would you do if your lover get jealous?”Not looking at him, I reach the door. But before I could even push it open, a small laughter was heard. Wait… did he… just laugh?Unconsciou
“Is it just me or does that guy seems to be in a good mood?”Bumping Elton, Luther was holding a plate for his breakfast. In the very place, a buffet was served. All of their friends are there. But the people that Lea knows are not that much.“Shut up, I still have a shiver running up my spine. He is really weird… really”There was a frown on Luther’s face as he saw how weird Elton is acting. It is as if he saw the door that would lead to the end of the world.“You okay bro?”Shaking his head, he laugh at himself and says.“I also wonder…”Sitting on the same chair as Lea, Sylphia pout her lips as she bend slightly to see Lea’s gaze.“How was the beach?”“It is nice, it looks beautiful”Soon as she heard the response of her friend, a small smile can’t help but escape on her lips.“I am really sorry for last time. I didn’t know luther would do that. if only I know then I wouldn’t drag you in that prank”Shaking her head, lea smiled. A smile that Sylphia loved so much.That very smile t
“I am all fine”I mumbled soon as I took a step backward. What is this feeling… I… I find it hard to breath…“Is that so?”Not looking at him, somehow, I am so curious to know what kind of face does he mad. But… really, I… I should leave soon. This is bad…“The jet ski is ready… shall we follow the others now?”Looking at him, he held his hands as if he wants me to reach him. that very same hands… that I once hold when we danced before. That very same hands that hugged me to his arms…At first I thought he is a jerk. Well… he really is a jerk… but how funny of me to fall for that jerk.He doesn’t care about me before, but now… what made him change his heart?Or is he doing it out of conscience of all that he did?“On second thought, I think you should go. I mean… I am not really fond of the sea. Its like a moon for me. I would be glad by just looking at it”Smiling, what am I even talking about? And of all, why do I feel like I was talking about him?Weird, it is really not like me at
“Why are you here?”He did not answer my question and just give me a smile. With him holding a white flower on his hand, I was surprised when he took away a dried flower with the same type as what he just put down.“Its been a long time since I last saw you” he started.What is he up to? I… I don’t understand.The last time I saw him, I was about to take my own life. He was, full of fright back then… I saw it.I feel guilty…“How are you doing?”Even with him talking to me, I can’t really find the courage to answer him back. All I know is that, I hate what I am feeling right now. I really… hate this…“Are you eating well?”He stood up and look at me. But that look is something he never had before.His eyes, it was full of pain. I can see it. I can feel it in the way he talk. I can tell it by the way his eyes speaks to me…“Is he treating you well?”And somehow, I can’t help but agree on what my mind speaks of. That the pain he is in now, I was part of the reason why he feels that way.
“Wow, I didn’t know that they are still in a good terms. So why did they divorced?”“So you are not aware of that issue? It was really known. How could you not be aware of it. wher have you been all your life huh?”“What? is that a big deal?”“Yeah it is, you are losing way too much great info you see”Many people have different opinion about the poster that they saw as well as the news broadcast just a while ago.Indeed, it was a big news that Aiden Lazarus and Lea Kruie are back together, not as couple but as partners in a big event.News escalates quickly. How Brylle and Paul are part of what happened to Allea. Although it was soon wiped aways when news about the big shots of a criminal became a hit, one can say that most of people knew what happened. And some even think that just a lifetime sentence in the jail isn’t enough for Paul.But because of the fact that the country does not tolerate death penalty, they have no other choice but do that. Although karma works faster than th
“I know I am not good at words but, I somehow manage to write all of this. This is embarrassing… actually”He mumbled the last parts. Enough to make me chuckle. Why does he always do something I would be surprised of? I knew him for a long time now and the memories we have with each other grew and grew as time passes by.“But there is one thing I want to tell you…”And as I pull the ribbon I was holding, I can feel that it was the end of it. maybe I can finally remove this blindfold?Turning my head to the side, I was about to remove the one hindering me from seeing where I am when a hand hold mine. And there, it removes the blindfold on my hand.“And I want to tell it to you face to face…”Smiling at me, there I saw Aiden. Smiling so warm, smiling as if, what he see was the most wonderful thing he ever sees“Just like the first time I met you, you still looks beautiful. But unlike that first time… I won’t stop myself in getting close to you. Because more than that, I want you to see
