Dear Elvin

Chapter seven

Elvin's POV
[unedited]

She has married! Samantha has married! How could she?!? She said she loved me , yet she married someone else. But you were late Elvin,she waited for you.

I was late!

The small voice inside kept telling me that I was late. Indeed I was late. The letter was sent 9 years ago,how long could she wait? Realizing this my heart broke into million million pieces. She still looked the same. Not even a sign of aging. The girl got her mother's skin tone other than that they've nothing in common. But she talks and smiles like her mother.

I sighed. I'll have to stay strong and hold on to my emotions. I looked at her again,this time with a smile,and hugged her unannounced. She was startled. She should be. She felt the same. She felt like the first time. Soft and small. She hugged me back after sometimes. I pulled back unwillingly with another fake smile.
"Oh Samantha" there was hurt in her face when I said Samantha instead of Sam,but it was only for a split second," I'm so happy for you girl,but very angry,you didn't even bothered to invite your best friend to your wedding!! Did you think I'll eat everything? Not great girl. I'm hurt." I put my hand on my heart dramatically.

She looked perplexed," I didn't know your address back then and the wedding wasn't anything fancy,just ring exchange at the church with the closest family and friends." The way she said friends it hurt. Maybe it hurt more to her. After all I was the one who stood her up. I was supposed to be there for her. But I failed. I don't know where I stand in her life now. Clearly she doesn't like me much now after whatever happened,and it's justified. I don't really blame her for that. But now I'll make things right between us,I'll gain her trust on me and be the man,at least be the friend,the old friend of hers.

I looked around casually, she darted her eyes too. We were silent,not the awkward silence but the silence where many things wanted to be exposed but little was to say in reality. Suddenly we both faced each other,panic flashed in her eyes. She dropped her shopping bags,she was struggling with words,nothing came out from her. I gathered to her, and looked around her. No Theressa wasn't there.

"Theressa! THERESSA!" We both shouted in unison. Where could she possibly go. She was right here,beside Sam a while ago. Shit ,I shouldn't have talked so long with Sam. If somethings happens to Theressa Sam will never forgive me. But I'm not half Afraid of that as much as I'm of Sam blaming all on herself if something happens to Theressa!

I know her,she'd blame herself,and go to depression for that. I tell her to call Theressa on the others direction, I also shout her name . The market has less crowded now,maybe we'll find her. I have to find her. I have to find Sam's daughter, my Sam's daughter.
