Fate & Destiny

Dream (Chapter 3)

Alex

To the girl whom I love

"I want to be with you! It has always been my dream. Hasn’t it always been your dream too?"

  I looked at her and examined her face- the sparkling eyes I used to see everyday by my side, her soft pink lips I used to touch with my own. I indulged myself in the past, where it was all perfect. It was my dream to be with her, to spend my whole life with her, to marry her. 

  I could see the way she stiffened. I could almost feel it. She was thinking about it too, she was remembering. I took a step forward and I reached for her hand. They were always so soft and now, even as they were shaking, I wanted to hold it again in my hands. But as soon as I lifted an arm, a pained expression struck her face and she took a step back.

"Please just go."

  I watched her disappear amongst the crowd of people, her dark hair slowly disappearing. Perhaps it was both of our faults. But I was not planning on giving up. 

  I darted forward to look for her. It was always easy to find her. I could feel where she was; we were bound together. The maddening crowd blocked most of my sight.

”J! Where are you?”

 I could feel the crowd glaring at me but I didn’t care. The only thing on my mind was to find J. I couldn’t afford to lose her twice!

”J! Where are you? If you can hear me, stop walking, just stop!” 

 I made my way through the crowd. There she was, standing at the edge of the street, looking at me with her watery eyes and pursed lips.

”What the hell do you want? Just leave me alone, would you?”

"No, wait.l Listen. I’m sorry for what I’ve done. I’m a jerk for not telling you that I would be leaving. But it’s not what you think, what I did was for your own good."

"You did that for my own good? More like for your own. You didn’t love me, you never loved me, and you never will! Do you know how devastated I was when you left me? Do you know how empty my life was when you left? Do you know how I wished it was just a dream that you left?"

"Why- I didn’t know I meant that much to you. You have always been reticent. I am sorry that I left you. It was an ignorant and insensitive act. But, please listen to me!"

She widened her eyes- my desperation was unbelievable. All these years, I had been keeping the truth in my heart, unable to live in my dream- the past.

"Fine, I will listen to you but let’s go somewhere else."

“How about the coffee shop?”
