"You my Tonio," I say feeling tears pour out of my eyes
"Colomba why don't you sit down," he says and I wonder was everything ever true
"Why did you not tell me?" I ask him feeling my heart clench
"I wanted to so bad I was just waiting for the right time," he says coming close to me but I put my hand up to stop him
"How long have you known?" I ask him and see how he looks at me and I know my answer as he is pleading with his eyes
"You knew so long," I say dropping the picture on the floor
"I knew from the minute you were on that beach and I saw your doe eyes," he says as I feel so betrayed right now.
Was any of it true or was I living so much in a dream?
"Did you pity me when you met me?" I ask him and I see how he gives me a pleading look
"I never once pitied you I always saw you as a strong woman Colomba," he says and I fall onto the the ground as it's too much to deal with
"Then why did you not tell me that you were Tonio? I always had this feeling that deep down you were my Tonio there were so many hints," I say as I look at him feeling dumb.
"Because things were going so well between us," he says
"Do you even love me?" I ask him as I want to know the answer was it pity or was it true love
"How can you say that of course I love you? My life was full of darkness and when you came in you brought a light to my life," he says and I so badly want to look at him and believe it
"Your family knew?" I asked him and he nods
"It all makes sense now, oh my god," I say putting my hands on my head
"I never meant to hurt you," he says and I look at him
"So Erica coming to my wedding planning business me meeting you was it all planned?" I ask him and comes to me and hugs me.
"It was but just know my feelings for you were genuine. I love you so much that I think of you only," he says and I look at him.
Why is love so hard?
"Antonio I want to believe you but I can't help but think did I fall in love with a lie I need some space," I say wiping my tears
"Colomba please..." he says pleading with me
"Antonio I truly love you but for my mentality, I need space it's overwhelming me," I say as I grab my bag but Antonio pulls me to him and kisses me and I can't help but kiss him back I love him I do but I need to figure out some things.
"Don't ever think for a second that I will just let you go. I love you and I would much rather die than never be with you in this lifetime. I will give you space but just know I will be thinking about you," he says hugging me.
"Remember this is forever, " he says and I give him a slight smile
"I need to go," I whisper as he lets go of me.
