Delilah's POV

~A Small Flashback~

' Just when?, Why? ' I asked my self

Again and again

I'm so confused

I don't know what I'm supposed to do

My mind was in a mess, so i just decided to grab my keys from my pants and closed his door

"lilah wait" I heard him call my name but it was too late I don't need any explanations, I caught my 3 years boyfriend cheating on me with some random girl on his own house and they were kissing

I didn't notice that he already catch up on me and grabbed my left hand and stopped me from walking

"look it's not what you think let me explain ok?"he begged and begged for me to listen to his explanation but I just pushed him away and drove as fast as I can

My mind was in blank and a lot of questions keeps on flowing inside my head

'Is it OK for me to break up just like that without even hearing his explanation?' I asked my self but then a small flashback came in my mind and the image of them kissing is what I saw

I was furious and just punched the wall out of anger....

~To The Present~

"How Are you?" He asked right after he manage to catch up on me

I decided to stay silent and just looked away and nodded my head a Lil bit

"Do you mind if.... I take some of your time?" he asked hesitantly
"it's fine if you're busy uhm" he said

"I don't mind."i answered coldly and his face seems to lit up

"do you mind if we enter?" then he pointed the Cafe beside me

"No." I answered without a second thought then he opened the door for me

We were both sitting down and he decided to order a coffee for the both of us

"So what is it?" I asked him while looking outside the glasswall

"I just wanna say sorry.."He said

"why? It's been years so why say sorry now?" I said to him without even realizing my voice was loud and some of the customers were looking at our direction

He seemed to be worried about me so I fixed the way I sit and clear my throat

"continue" I said to him

"Lilah What I'm gonna say is not because I'm still hoping for us to get back I just really want us to be OK... So uhmm.." he stoped and gathered his courage before he start talking

"I'm really really sorry about back then
I don't know why but I just really wanna be ok with the persons I've hurted before, I didn't mean to cheat in you, you were a very very great partner and I was lucky but I was not worthy to be your partner, I'm really sorry, I promise I won't bother u again after this so don't worry.." He said

There was a little bit of ache inside my heart and my eyes started to get watery..

After that day we still kept on talking and cleared some things although I don't want to admit it but my heart was waiting for him all this time and I was just swallowed by my pride

Days became years and still going on we're already 30 y/o

It was a perfect day it was a very good day it was too good to be true we were happy we were doing things we love just how?.

Why?
Why is my beloved person is on the E.R. right now?

"I'm sorry miss Delilah but it's too late we can't save him, we told him back then that he have to be treated but he refused because of the person that he loves, he doesn't want u to worry and kept on rejecting us after so many times... And btw" that doctor stopped talking and gave me a USB

"he asked me to give this to you after he dies... Condolence Miss Delilah we are sorry for your loss. If u may excuse me.." the he left

I entered the E.R. And there I saw him smiling.. While his eyes are closed and not breathing...

I was in so much pain and cried and cried beside him until the nurses took his body

I told his parents what happened and they just asked me if I was ok through the phone

"you can come here if you want hija" his mom said
"thank you aunt but I respectfully reject your offer first but I will be at his funeral so don't worry.." even though his mom is still reluctant for me to be alone at times like this they still let me be and I spend my nights alone in my room crying the sorrow I am currently feeling

Then I remembered the USB the doctor gave me I immediately opened my laptop and plugged in the USB

There was just 1 file and It was a voice record I transferred it first to my laptop and prepared my self for a little bit, it was a hard decision for me and after a while I decided to play it..

"hello hello mic test..
1.2.3" I heard him talking I paused it as I'm trying to hold back my tears when I calmed down a bit I resumed it

"To my dearest Delilah, it may sound so cringe coming from me. But please don't think it's cringe ok?" then he giggled a bit making my heart ache a bit

"I'm Sorry for the things I have done..
Especially years ago I might not have told you but I didn't cheat on you after u left that day I comfronted that girl because she was the one who just suddenly barged in to my house and kisses me and after that i did what I could to find you, I'm sorry if I didn't tell you sooner I just didn't want you to get upset or think that I'm making up stories " he took a deep breath and continued

"So argh what am I saying.."then he laughed at him self

"I'm sorry for not telling you sooner..
I'm sorry if I hurted u once again..
I'm sorry if I left u alone..
I'm sorry Delilah
My beautiful Delilah I hope u will be able to find happiness after I die..

Please don't laugh at that sentence I know it's sounds so cringe.."then he took another deep breath

"You know I have a lot of plans in mind that I wanted to do with you, we might not have been able to do all of them I hope u will do it with the person you're gonna spend your life with..

I'm sorry if I left without even saying the words I want and left u with just this dumb voice record...

I'm really sorry Delilah.." he stopped as I heard him sniff and his voice starts to crack because of the tears his holding back

It made me cry a lot while listening to eat and still continued to listen till the last seconds..

" Delilah my love, my everything, once again. I'm really sorry..
Don't miss me too much.." he giggled

"I Love You.. Please don't forget about me atleast...

Goodbye."after that I cried by my self again while hugging my laptop till I'm exhausted and just fell asleep by my own.

~A Year Has Past~

It's been a year and I am sitting beside his tombstone

I carefully stood up after a while of chatting with him about how my life is now, and left a flower where my name came from

Now my life continues

And still hoping that in the afterlife I will be able to meet him even just a second.

END.
