MIA's POV:
It's been 2 dawns since the last time I saw him and cried for him. I even cried myself to sleep. But he never came back. Not in front of me. He always checked on me while I was asleep. I wonder what went wrong between us. It left me demented. I was sitting on my pallet. Staring in the void. I've been used and refused a lot of times but nothing left me this jarring and dejected. I feel like my heart has been tarnished like broken shards and it's pricking my soul.
I wanna ask him why? Why did he do that? What went wrong? I stood up and went to the earthen pitcher he filled for me with water and pushed it. It fell down and broke into pieces. A few shards pricked my foot but at this point I couldn't care less. I wanted answers and I was done crying alone. I scooted down and picked the sharpest piece.
"I know you can hear me," I yelled. "Aren't you done playing this hide and seek game. Stop being a coward and face me. Do what you do best. Kill me! Or else I'll kill myself." I waited and waited but to no avail. If he was stubborn, so was I. I looked at the shard again. If that's what I have to do, so be it. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I know it wasn't easy to kill yourself as I had tried before but I'm already dying. I looked at the veins popping on my wrist and brought the shard closer. A tear slipped from my eye but I stood strong. Pursing my lips I dug the shard harder on my flesh. A trickle of blood oozed out. An excruciating pain ran down my arm.
A gust of air whooshed and a hand snatched the shard from my hands. I looked up and met those burning eyes I'd been missing a lot.
"What are you doing?" He growled. I took a step back. He glared at me. Why was he angry? It should be me. He ghosted me out, not me. Adrenaline rushed through me and I clenched my fist.
"What do you think? Isn't that what you should be doing? I'm making your work easier. You left me here to rot anyways." I retorted. His eyes softened. "You threw me out of your life like some disposable thing. That's what I am to you." I never intended to turn weak in front of him but despite my efforts my lips trembled and my voice shook." You used me and when I couldn't satisfy you, you left me. Why did you do that to me? I thought you were different but you proved me wrong" Tears were streaming down and I let them. I felt exhausted and tired suddenly.
He engulfed me in his embrace. I grabbed his collar and buried my face in his chest. His arms tightened around me. I just wanted to let it all out until I felt nothing but empty. I weep and weep.
I never wanted to be anywhere but in his embrace. He left me but I still couldn't show anger at him. Why is that so? I wanted to yell and scream at him but all I need now is his touch. And with the eagerness in his touch I felt he missed it too or so I thought. A cold wind billowed and I felt a chill on my body. I fisted his collar more tightly and slowly looked up. He was already staring at me. A glow moonlight casted his profile. A beautiful and soft smell of cherry blossoms swept with the wind across us.
I stared deep in his eyes. My tears stopped and my conscious mind told me to wipe my tear stained cheeks but my heart refused to move even an inch back or he would disappear again. I saw a longing in his eyes or I was a fool to think that. He took a deep breath and linked his forehead with mine inhaling my scent. I also closed my eyes. I thought he'll stay. But what a fool I was. He jerked me away and flew away so suddenly it took me a few minutes to register what just happened. I heard him whisper sorry. Or it's my heart playing with my brain to justify his acts. To transfer me into this delusion that he might have had some reasons. Or maybe not. I realized I don't feel the pain of the cut I gave myself earlier so I looked down at my injured wrist but there was nothing. No traces of blood that trickled down or the cut. Everything was healed. I sighed and sat down there on the floor feeling cold without his warmth.
The moon was peaking through the canopy of leaves he layered on the tarnished rooftop from where he used to enter. It was glowing in its full glory. Moon seems so lonely sometimes. There are stars sprawled around it but they stay at a safe distance from it. Maybe it also has desires and wishes. A desire for a companionship that wouldn't be scared with its beauty or stays with them forever. After my jarring past started I don't recall any memories of my birthday except the ones my family used to celebrate. A childish wish I used to make while watching the moon. A wish for a desired fairytale. A desire to have a handsome prince. Never thought love would be this scarce. Memories of my childhood with that traumatic experience came back but I jerked the thought away. I was tired.
Another season of our hide and seek game started. The first season left me exhausted. I wonder what this season will do to me or how long I will be tormented.
