The Repents

Chapter 13: Healing Wounds.

Time passed. And they say, time heals wounds. I learned to live with what life had for me for I had my family, I had Chad. I never gave him any wrong signals but we grew to become very close friends.
Bunol, a small town in Spain, was beautiful place. I went to Berlin for a while to visit my uncle. My family was not very abundantly rich but they brought me up like a princess and cherished me well. I had forgotten that, had been lost into the world's fantasies neglecting the most precious gift by God. My parents.
All my desires were fulfilled even before I asked for them. Time ticked by and I turned inti a fancy, young girl. The day I turned sixteen that's when my life changed. I never knew that life had planned tremulous, mysteries and adventures for me.
When I landed back in Bunol, after a whole 6 month vacations, which I needed badly, a handsome, young, groomed boy was there at the airport to welcome me. He looked so angelically beautiful that I couldn't get my eyes off him. All the way to the house I was gazing at him. At last when we got off, "Mavis......remember me?" He teased.
"It's Chad." He said.
"Wow, look at you man," I awed him. "Some transformation, eh?"
"Well, things we do for love." He still had that soft corner for me but I swore not to get into this love thingy ever again.
Hence, I had nothing more than condolence to give me. He looked at me with the expressions I didn't understand and then looked at his cellphone and looked away as if hiding tears.
When I reached home everyone was excited there were alot of hugging and gifts giving and mom's emotional session. At night, when I was all alone in my room I saw my cell with a text from Chad.
"Call me whenever you like, Chad." I could help myself so I called him.
"Hey honeybee." He said jollily.
"Chad, I accept your proposal."
"You don't say!" He was stunned.
He went crazy and within a month we got committed to each other and got deep. I had opened my heart once again and given it to him. I just hoped he kept himself locked to me cause I wasn't strong enough to let go now. My heart was too punctured to feel more pain.
We chatted and talked all day long and it was impossible now for us to live apart. A few months later Chad's parents arrived. Mr. Thomas Randolph and Dorothy; Mrs. Randolph, the family was the most chill and loving of all the abundantly rich families I had seen. Even though, Chad felt their absence a lot but they loved him, didn't show but did.
Dorothy, saw the love in her son's eyes. So, she talked to my mim about it and our parents decided to make the matters serious and get their children married. That day, Chad walked up to my dad and asked for my hand in marriage. Dad agreed simultaneously, as he couldn't see me like I had become once again.
Everyone got buzy in arrangements. The night before our wedding. Chad sneaked in to my house, which was across the road from his, to meet me. As we weren't allowed to meet (a christian ancient tradition).
I could feel my heart racing in my chest again, the blood pulsing hot and fast through my veins. My lungs filled deep with the sweet scent that came from his skin. It was like there had never been any hole in my chest. I was perfect - not healed, but as if there had never been a wound in the first place.
It's just that you have to live your life not caring what they think and shake off the drama! And prove them that you're better than they think you are!
As Victor Hugo states that:
"Life's greatest happiness is to be convinced that we are loved."
I know I was loved. Life gave me another chance and Chad was a gift of some blissful act.

Whenever, I sit to study..... I feel
That, he's gazing at me and giving me his haughty smile.....
Encouraging me to study harder.

Whenever, I drive.... I feel
That, he's sitting behind me and giving me a pat on my back.....

Whenever, my mobile blinks....I feel
That he's holding his
And messaging me.....

Whenever, I gaze at the moon....
I feel he's doing the same
Missing me badly.....

Whenever, I get up startled in the middle of the night.....
I strongly feel that even he got up the very same way.....

I always believed that a guy out there is meant to be mine. He's meant to be the love of my life, my bestfriend, my soulmate!
The one you can tell your dreams to. He'll brush the hair out of your eyes. Send you flowers when you least expect. He'll stare at you during movies, eventhough he paid for the tickets. He'll call you to say goodnight or just because he misses you..... He'll look into your eyes and tell you that you're the most beautiful girl in the world. And for the first time in your life, you'll believe it and Chad was the one for me.
I accepted his proposal cause I didn't want to lose Chad. They say that everyday that you wait is a day that would never come back. The most important thing is not to be bitter about life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. Don't be afraid to make mistakes because most of the times the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most.
Maybe, you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe, you will get more that you ever could've imagined. Who knows where life can treat you with? The road is long and in the end, the journey is your destination.
Don't look back and grief about the past, for it's gone!
Don't trouble about the Future, for it's yet to come!
Live in the Present, and make it so beautiful that it's worth remembering!

I was on top of the world, thinking of my wedding. The dresses, jewellery, the attention, the arrangements made me feel splendid, for I was finally happy.
I learned, never to ignore a person who loves you, cares for you because, one day, you might wake up and realise that you lost the moon while counting stars! I was delighted. My life was Perfect and I got the love I wished for.
Well, what's more special that being in love. Yes.... I was in love, madly, completely, irrecoverably. He was the most special thing that ever happened to me. I wished for him every moment, every second of my life. He had changed me. Made me love myself. His eyes made mine sparkle.
He was very sweet.... Wasn't really clever. Maybe, that's cx he loved me..... But honestly there is no one in this world who can love me more than he does..... It's like a dream come true. I always wished for someone like him.
His sweet voice, I loved the way he called me with sweet names. All those memories, when they flash before my eyes I fall in love with him all over again.
He's so innocent that he never says no to anything I say. I just love him and I know that I can't live without him. The way we talked to each other the whole night; talking about out future and that sparkle in his eyes *-*
I wanted to marry him, have babies, grow old together. He's my life. My forever after!
