The Marriage Contract

LOVE has no boundaries. Love has no age limit. Age doesn’t matter, a famous quotation says. And it doesn’t matter how long have you’ve been together as long as you two love each other. They said that if you truly love someone, you are willing to do anything for him/her to make that person happy. You’ll court that person and do nice things to prove yourself. That is why I love the perseverance Felix showed me when he is still courting me and until now that he give me his promise. His perseverance made both of us here where we are now.“Dismissed.” The professor announced so I quickly gathered my things.“I’ll go now, Bella. I’ll still need to buy cake,” I quickly turned my head at the girl beside me while arranging my things inside my bag after our Professor dismissed us.My best friend just pouted her lips and she looks cute when she do that.“You’re so in love. Three years r

WE were done eating our breakfast and I just came out from the shower. Bella bought me clothes so I could wear something nice. She insisted and didn’t let me stay with my pajamas on. She was really hospitable when it comes to her visitors.“I will just stay inside here anyway, so why bother buying me clothes?”She rolled her eyes. “You need to take a bath, duh?” And in the end, she really won.When I came out of my room, I saw her sitting in the living room, facing her laptop. Every graduating student is indeed busy. I was busy too but I’m almost done with all of my requirements so I’m not in the rush hour anymore. Just a few more weeks and I’ll finally get that diploma.“Done?” she asked when she noticed my presence.I nodded and turned my phone on and I was right with Felix who really flooded my inbox but I didn’t bother to open it. How dare he.“Felix message

DO you know the saying expect the unexpected? I also thought that we could be happy until we reach our dreams together. Just a few more weeks and we’ll finally get the diploma that we both wanted. After that, he promised to travel around the world with me. He said a lot of promises to me and there I am, happy and hoping that he could fulfill his promises to me. I was the happiest when he said that he will marry me after we graduate. But all of the hopes vanish in the air just like a bubble. I expect him to fulfill all of the promises he said. I guess too much expectation will just really hurt you in the end. It will hurt you big time. “Listen to me, Astia, I am telling the truth. There was no sign of you in the apartment. Just those decors for our anniversary. I know you decorated them when you go home at lunchtime like the other special days,” he explained but I just shake my head slowly. The confusion in his eyes was very evident as I continue to s

THEY say that your eyes explain what you feel when your mouth can’t and that’s why I am feeling right now. I don’t know what to say. I tried to hold on to my tears from falling down my face but as we stared at each other, it made me hard from stopping them from falling any minute now.I slowly shake my head as we continued staring at each other. I want to take off my eyes from him but it seems that my eyes don’t want to, it seems that my eyes were glued onto him. I wish he could see right now the pain in my eyes. That it hurts like hell.“I c-can’t… f-forgive y-you,” then my voice broke as I felt something rolling down my face. Damn these tears! I want them to stop falling but they just can’t. I take off my eyes from staring because I can’t hold them anymore.It hurts that every time I would look at him I could only remember what he had just done. Their voice moans each other’s names. The picture

“LET me ask you this if you saw me kissing another guy, will you forgive me?” I painfully asked him as tears poured from my eyes. I really hate these tears. I could see from my peripheral vision some people who passed by look at us. Oh, I just catch my ex-boyfriend cheating on me that’s why I am crying. “Damn it, Felix! Yes! You made ONE mistake! But that mistake was I saw you kissing another girl and fucking her.” I was just stopping myself from shouting out loud since we aren’t in the right place. “I’m sorry,” then bowed his head. Here he is again with his sorry. “I’m tired of hearing your sorry, Felix…” I paused. “I don’t want to hear that again because even if you continue saying sorry for doing that mistake,” I shake my head slowly. “Your sorry won’t change the fact that you did that thing. Your sorry won’t turn back time and change everything that happened.” Yes, I love him but maybe that was the way for me to get back myself and
