Thanks For Coming Back

Chapter 4

"I still love you, Anna" he pronounced the name for the last time. He felt like the sweet he had been tasting was slipping away from his tongue. He let the name linger in his tongue a little longer for her liking. Yet she decided not to complain. She looked over his shoulder at the figure standing far behind them. She recognized the man in black pants and white T-shirt, though she could not see the face clearly. She could have recognized him in the middle of the crowd. How would she not? After all he was her husband she had spent 6 years of her life with. She gave him a small smile before looking back at the man in front of her.

"I do too" she whispered looking at the ground below her. But it was loud enough for him to hear. She raised her head to meet the amused eyes of Aaron.

"But I'm no more in love with you" she said calmly maintaining the gaze. "Because I'm in love with him" She raised her chin pointing towards the man behind him.

He followed her gaze to see a man. And what he first noticed was his black hair. He was looking at her with a smile and giving a nod with knowing look. He looked back at her to find her looking at the man behind who was her husband now. She had this smile which she used to smile at him. He then realized how completely he had lost her. She looked happy just like he used to remember her being. He couldn't help giving a sad smile.

"Does he know?" he asked out of curiosity.

"Huh?" she came back from her thoughts on hearing his voice but not soon enough to catch his words hence she gave him a confused look.

"Ammm... does he know about us? I mean about ME?" he corrected himself realizing their 'US' did no longer existed.

"Yes, he does." She gave herself chuckle remembering something. "After all I've a box full of 'OUR MEMORIES'"
