Morning at 6:00 -:
Todd reached the park and waited for Suzie. He had recieved an urgent message from her, willing to meet.
"meet me asap. its urgent,in the park."
His concern grew when he saw her, walking down the wet grass with those hazel wet eyes.
Todd: Suzie, what is wrong? tell me.
Suzie: m-mom is t-taking me back h-home Todd.
Todd felt like the earth has just exploded and burst him into several peices. He was suffering from mixed feelings of amusement and agony.
as it was amusing to watch her crying over her getting away from himand it was extremely painful to know that he probably wont spend his left time holding her hand but he couldn't be selfish either.
Todd: you should go. You would be happy there and maybe I will see those beautiful beetroot colored smile from heaven everyday.
Suzie: well if there wont be any electric blue pair of eyes looking ryt at me on earth for the rest of my life, I would prefer living under an ocean so that those eyes can never find me.
Todd had never cried before, not even as a kid. He was always a gentleman,wiping the tears of others but today the guy himself dropped feelings out from his eyes.
it can not be over like this. no!
Suzie ran towards her house. there she found Phil sitting on the porch,sipping the hot coffee. Suzie sat next to him and placed her arm on his shoulder.
Suzie: Dad!
Phil: kiddo, just know i missed you every single day you were not with me and will miss you forever. You are not like your mother but please try not to become like you father as well.
Suzie: what do you mean?
Phil: Suzie, twenty years ago, I met your mom right here. She was spending her summer holidays at her grandma's and she hated this place! My pop and her's were best buddies. she was grossed out of me but I liked her a lot. I woke up every morning hoping I could see her. I fell in love with her and after two summer holidays, her dying grandma gave away her last wish
to marry her only grand daughter to me,the only boy she knew.
we got married in the local church. Two days after the nuptial, Rachel left me and headed to the city. I couldnt stop her and just waited for her to come back and she did, come back when you were born. she brought you so that I can see you and that night she made me sign the divorce papers.The only reason she knows me is because of you.
I still think if I would have confessed my love to her twenty years ago, we would have settled as a family.
Suzie,dont let anyone take your love away from you because I know you will regret it the rest of your life.
Suzie:Dad......
her phone buzzed and interupted the conversation
a message from Todd:
I am never letting go of you from my heart, not until death does us apart.have a safe journey, meet you somedaylove,todd...
Rachel: honey everything is packed. The cab is waiting. shall we?
