HIS PROMISE [One-Shot]

Hope you'll like my second one-shot! Really hoping for your support! :D

*****************************************

 

I am now standing in front of the person I have loved for a long period of time. He’s beaming at me, smiling as if there’s no tomorrow. I can’t help myself to smile. His eyes’ sparkling just like the first day I saw him. Just like the first day…….. I never thought that I can find him in the midst of my sorrows. He’s always there for me. Through my ups and downs in life. I can still remember…..

Flashback

I was sitting on a bench with my friend Emily. We’re watching my brother while he’s playing soccer.

“Haley, you’re brother is really gorgeous! I just can’t take my eyes off him!” Emily said while tugging the sleeves of my shirt.

“Oh Ems! Leave my brother alone. He’s already taken.” I said while rolling my eyes.

Emily has a crush on my big brother for 4 years now. Unfortunately, he just see her as a ‘good friend’ of his little sister.

“Don’t be a bittergourd! You should also find other boys. You should date! For goodness’ sake! Show Alexander how big is his loss after he dump you!” Emily said while patting my back.

You read it right. My boyfriend dump me. Let me correct it—ex-boyfriend. I don’t have any idea why Alex dump me. I mean, I’m just so clueless!  For the six months of our relationship, I have done nothing but to please him and to be a good and ideal girlfriend. He hadn’t even give me any reasons why he broke up with me.

“Emily! Can you give me time to think over and to move on?” I said and was about to stand when I heard a voice.

“Miss, watch out!”

After that, I felt something hard hit my head. I almost kiss the ground due to its impact. I lost my balance and fell, butt first, on the ground.

“Aww! What the hell is that?!” I asked to whoever hit me in the head with a…….soccer ball?!

“I’m really sorry, Miss. Are you hurt?” I heard a man’s voice asking me. I still haven’t recovered from that earth shattering fell and I’m so dizzy that I can’t even face the man who hit me with a soccerball.

I almost rolled my eyes at his question. Do I seem alright?

Emily helped me to stand and finally, I have come face-to-face to the man who hit me in the head.

“Do I see—“ I stopped as I saw his face. Oh crap! Is someone joking me? After a very hurtful breakup, here I am face-to-face with a very good-looking man. Although  my head is hurt, I can clearly see the appearance of the man in front me. His hazelnut eyes that can go straight into your soul, his kinda messy hair,pinkish lips……Ugh! Am I dreaming?

“I-I’m alright……” I said. Right now, I met the man who will complete my life.

-End of Flashback-

I smiled as I reminisce the first day I met him. It’s just so magical. Can you believe it? A breakup and a new love in just a day? Unbelievable!

I laugh at the thought. Everything is so perfect back then. He courted me for seven months and we’ve been together for two years and a half. Every moment with him is just so magical that I haven’t seen this one coming. Because right now, I am standing in front of his grave. I look at his picture. I can’t help but cry. For the second time, I had my second heartbreak. Not because of other woman but because of an accident. Yes. He died because of a car accident…….

It’s my birthday that day when he called me and told me that he will come over our house to celebrate my birthday with me and my family. Moments later, he died. What’s the most hurting part there? He died on my birthday. I should be celebrating that day. But instead of celebrating, I was weeping and grieving. What a good birthday present right?

Since then, I haven’t love any man besides him. It’s only him that I will love. Now, after 3 years, I learned to live without him. To smile without him. To celebrate without him. To laugh without him. But still, I know deep in my heart that he is watching and protecting me.

I was about to cry when I heard a voice behind me and a sudden tugging of my shirt.

“Mom, Dad loves us.” Aiden said then smile.

I shouldn’t be writing this one but I think about having the other side of someone’s emotions. Happy endings are not bound to always happen……..Thank you for reading!
