My Valentine Date [Luca x Shu]

Ch1

<<Shu's POV>>

"I don't love you." Luca looked at me in the eyes. His face shows no emotion. His eyes looking cold, no hint of regret or guilty. I tried looking into his eyes, trying to get what kind of jokes do he playing right now. "I don't love you anymore."

"You're joking right?" I nervously laughed because I knew Luca really well. He loves to play around.

"No." His expression doesn't change a bit. Eyes stares bored into mine.

"But why?" Tears welled up my eyes. It's hurt. Really hurt.

"I just don't love you anymore." He sighed before looking outside the cafe that we sat together. It's painful when he usually always the first to catch my tears.

"Are you still mad I ran away from our wedding day?" I couldn't speak without tears falling down. "Or do you found someone new?"

"No." He whispered but I can hear him very clearly. "I just don't love you anymore."

Now I can't look at him. I started to sob knowing him doesn't love me anymore. The love that I have protected for four years is now gone. All because of that night. The night that making me losing him. The night I escaped from our wedding because I wasn't sure of the future. If only I hadn't escape two months ago.

I heard chair screeching from in front of me, footsteps coming closer. "Thank you for these three years." A soft tap on the table before the footsteps going far away. I am scared to look up. I know he had left but part of me hopes he stay.

My hands are drenching with the tears that fall. I brave myself to look up and I saw the box that I recognize. I began to sob more as I opened the box to a pair of bracelet and a handwriting letter. The gift that I gave to Luca one year ago.

"Hi baby ❤️ Today is our third anniversary. Thank you for being my perfect boyfriend for these 3 years. I want to celebrate our 100 y/o anniversary too~ (maybe I'm already in the grave since we'll be 118) I love you. Let's love each other until forever ;)"

"I'm sorry." My tears can't stop but I don't care. I just want Luca back. If only I could return back the time.

If only I didn't become a coward and go to our wedding. If only I only care about Luca's feeling. If I stay then Luca would still be here.

With heavy heart and feet, I take the box and bring it out to the trash can. "Goodbye my love."

...

Two weeks after that, I had receive a letter from Luca. It was more than a letter, it was a wedding card. Luca will marry with someone who loved him since they were young. Luca will marry with the girl who always tried to get between us.

I couldn't bear myself to go and see him happy with someone else. I still love him. Really love him. I cried everyday. Days turned into months. Finally one day, I woke up and see everything gone black. My eyes turned blind because I cannot stop crying.

...

It had been eight years since then. I wonder how Luca is doing now. He had left without a trace. I am still here. Alone in our city.

"Shu!" I heard someone calling me. Yes. It's her. My wife.

"Yes?" I side eyed her because she back hugged me.

"Nothing. It's just our son already went to school so I just feel to be lovey dovey with my husband." I heard she muttered behind me.

Aia is my wife. We got married three months after I turned blind. She took care of me in everything. She is a great wife and woman but I never love her.

"We always be lovey dovey, what do you mean?" I said and turning to her. She kissed my cheeks and hugs me tight.

I feels wet on my shirt. "Just for another time." She whispers and I heard her. Ever since our kid entered second grade, she always coming to me and being extra clingy. Just like today. I wonder why but she never tell me anything.

"School activity that required every parents participated is tomorrow right?" I asked, trying to change the topic.

She stayed silent. I cannot understand her sometimes but I chose to let it go again.
