I Will Wait For You 100 Years - Hmong Sad Love Story

Chapter 20: I Love You And Only You Npaim

I finally ran to the place, as I reached the place. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't even say a word. The tree, the farmhouse, the grass and everything looks just exactly like from back then. I slowly walked to the tree that me and Npaim was at. I pulled out my hands to touch the tree gently as every single memory and flashback started flowing back into my head. I remember everything that happened between me and Npaim. All the sufferings we've been through. All the times we spent together and how she was my first love that I've found. I feel hot tears streaming down my cheeks. "N-Npaim." I say. I began to fall onto the ground collapsing as my tears started flooding everywhere. I start having flashbacks of the past when me and Npaim were still together then the flashback changes to when Npaim was crying because I didn't know who she was. The more I thought about it, the more I cry. I finally realize and understand my feelings. I miss Npaim so much. I love her so much. I wish I could see her again and hug her and tell that I'm very sorry for what I've done to her. "Npaim! Where are you!" I screamed but she was nowhere. I cried and cried. "Npaim, I'm so sorry! Please don't leave me!" I screamed once again. She was already gone. I hurt her so much that I couldn't forgive myself. "Npaim, please come back! Please come back!" I collapse onto the ground crying as hard as I can. I started punching the dirt until my hand was bleeding. I was so mad at myself for not knowing who she was. Thinking about what I did to her made me want to slam my head against a tree. Just then, I felt a warm hand on my head. I looked up and saw Npaim with teary eyes smiling at me. "Npaim!" I yelled as I hugged her as tight as I could. "Npaim! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me! I love you and only you!" I cried. I can hear her crying. "Please don't leave me Npaim." I said as we both pull back and stare at each other's eyes. Npaim nodded as she smiled at me. "I'm so happy that you came back to me, Kub" Npaim says. I pull Npaim in for a kiss. "I won't leave you again." I said, Still crying. "Npaim, I'm very sorry that I couldn't remember you." I say. Npaim nods her head no before saying. "No, it's my fault. I could've been better and just ran away with you that day so they couldn't take me." She says. We both put our heads against each other smiling. An hour later. Me and Npaim were sitting down by the tree just like in the past. "Kub-ah, you know that I'm already dead right?" Npaim says. "Yes of course I know, I've been knowing that ever since you kept scaring me in my dreams, Silly." I say. Npaim giggles and leans in to kiss my cheeks. "Are you not scared of me? I'm a ghost now." Npaim says playfully. "Why would I be scared of my first and true lover?" I say. Npaim chuckles. "Npaim, I heard from your parents that you hanged yourself, why did you do that?" I asked. Npaim took a moment of silence before talking again. "Well, you see. Ever since I found out that you found someone else and you moved to the U.S leaving me here, I just felt like I didn't want to live anymore so I made my choice and came to hang myself here on this tree." Npaim says. My eyes widened. "W-What? By here?!" I asked, very surprised. "Yes, here." Npaim says. I start looking at the tree. "Why are you so surprised?" Npaim asked. "Well, you see. This was the place where I almost hang myself too. But that day my family and parents came to stop me before I could. Which means that if they never came here to stop me, I would be in your position by now Npaim. Did you know how sad and lifeless I felt that time? After I woke up, all I wanted was you. I felt so sad that I almost killed myself before you did." I say. Npaim takes my head and lays it down on her lap as she plays with my hair. "Do you still want me now?" Npaim asked playfully. "Of course." I say. Npaim giggles. "Even as an adult, you're still cute Kub." Npaim playfully says. I smile at her as she lowers her head down to kiss me. "Why did you try to forget about me, Kub." Npaim asked. "W-Well....you see, I thought that I wouldn't be able to see you anymore no matter what so I had to cut connections between me and you." I said as Npaim frowns. "If you never did that, you wouldn't have hurt me this much, Silly." Npaim says. "Haha, once again. I'm sorry but I can make it up to you. Since I broke your heart a lot, you should choke me to death and kill me so I can go with you." I say playfully. "Haha, I would've done that by now if I didn't love you this much to the point where I would let you go and enjoy yourself. Plus, you're probably too scared to die." Npaim says. "Haha, but really though. Don't scare me like that again. You are actually scary when you turn rotten." I say. Npaim smiles and leans her face close to mine before whispering. "Don't worry, I won't. But if you dare break my heart again, I will turn even more scarier." She whispers. We both flirted and mess around with each other.
