Destined Love

Chapter 10- Lisa

I met you, Enzo, finally after seven years. I don't know when you'll have your memory back or whether I'll be with you by that time or not, but I'll be writing you letters without ever expecting you to read them because I'm not brave enough to show you how miserable I was without you.

I'll still be writing everything here until your memory is retrieved. There wasn't even a single day when I didn't wait for you to show up, any notification that would indicate your presence in my life.

Day one of your memory loss (per our meetup) and day seven since I've been informed about it. It was a total whiplash situation! Well, number seven has played an awful part in my life. You and I had our last conversation on the seventh, the last time we met was also the seventh and now you have returned after seven years, and picked me up today at seven! Destiny was so packed up that it didn't even bother considering another number for my devastation. I'm still dressed up, staring at myself in the mirror like a stupid teenage girl who couldn't get over one compliment you threw at me the moment you saw me in the parking lot when you came to pick me up. I always wanted you to be my seven minutes, the time after one dies and their brain pulls out their best memories and flashbacks are played for seven minutes, but the seven I have in my life is nowhere near it. I forgot to laugh or feel any kind of happiness after you left. It's not that I haven't tried, I did! I've even tried moving on by giving chances to people, but not only I used to relate them with you, I imagined you. Every time I thought about being someone, you were the only person my mind and heart could accept maybe that's why I couldn't resist when you came to me at the hospital and asked me to meet you. It happens every time. Since you don't remember anything, I'll be telling you everything here hoping I can give you the letters someday because I don't dare to say to you in person. 

You have never fallen for me the way I have! You have always believed that what you saw was possible and the possibility of us was negative for you whereas I always had faith in us and I still have it even when I see nothing. I've always imagined endless possibilities for us. I've prayed for you before I have prayed for myself and I have a firm belief in my prayers because I've asked the one who could turn the tables in no time. I've always believed that the universe aligns the possibilities best when we least expect it. I'm not expecting much from your side, but I won't deny that your timing was precise. I was falling apart, I no longer dared to keep myself in place and pretend like I'd been doing for years and here you are for me. It doesn't matter whether you know this or not but your existence is more than enough for me. I don't know how long you'll be staying this time, but I know that by the time you're gone, I'll put myself together and act like nothing happened. That's one of the reasons why I haven't told you anything. I don't want to take advantage of your situation but I can at least try to freeze some moments with you for me to hold on to when I feel like falling again. I can't always expect you to show up every time I need you because I know you won't come otherwise you would've never left.

I'm trying to rescue the storms so they don't label the forms of destruction. My destruction! Sometimes I want to fight, I want to scream and tell you everything you've done to me, but when you love someone to the point where you can no longer live without the, you don't fight with them. You've never expected us to end up together but every step I've taken till now always had one perspective and that was a "what if!". What if I'd been a little more patient maybe the situation might turn in my favor, what if I hadn't had an argument or a fight with you maybe that would have given you the courage to come back to me. I've always kept my door open for you to come back and that's the reason I have avoided every situation that could take you away from me. But look at the irony, no matter what I've done, you left anyway!

                                                                                                                                               Lisa

I folded the letter and placed it in the box where I put my diary and everything that was related to Enzo. I have written every single date of our meetup and a picture of the dress I wore that day. I hope one day you realize how much I love you and you come back to me only for me without considering any other circumstances.

We're finally done with ten chapters. Let's count this as a victory! Ten whole weeks of Enzo and Lisa!

Will Enzo ever be able to find out about Lisa's feelings? What will he do then? Will he accept her or will he leave her again?

Let's see what destiny has planned for both of them...

Happy Reading
