Waiting for you

Sophia.

"Sophia, be my girlfriend,"

Adam looked at me in the eyes when he proposed, He had a bouquet of red roses in his hand.

I was shocked and rooted to the spot while I stared back at him.

His eyes, His face, His body built and everything was identical to Alex.

The love of my life, My Alex who died nearly four years ago.

"Sophia, we have been friends for a long time and we are dating for the last six months, Will you accept me as your boyfriend?" He asked me again.

My world trembled and I am shaken.

I know I am the cruellest person on the earth, I know I am selfish for doing this to Adam.

I looked at Alex's identical twin brother.

They look so much alike, Making it difficult for me.

What have I done!?

Guilt filled me and I took a step back.

This is not Alex, This is Adam.

No matter how much I long for Alex to come back, It's not going to happen, I shouldn't do this to Adam.

Alex cannot be Adam and He cannot come back.

Tears sprang to my eyes and Pain filled me.

"Sophia"

Adam looked worried as he watched me.

"Ad...Adam" I said slowly. "Let's not..meet again," I said And hurt filled his eyes.

"I am not a good person like you think, I..I am selfish and cruel, Let's not meet again" I whispered and Ran back while Adam stayed there, Looking heartbroken.

When I reached my little rented apartment, I walked inside, Switched off all the lights and huddled in a corner.

Alex...

He's gone...He will never come back.

My heart twisted and my eyes got teary.

Alex was my everything, He was my sun, My reason to live.

He was visiting his home and his car was hit by a truck.

He died from the hospital and what made me more broken was the fact that I never knew about it until it was too late.

I couldn't even see him for the last time and so, It was difficult to accept his death.

Along with Alex, My will to live also died.

I started to live in the past, Remembering all those memories we shared every day.

"I am going to miss you" He had said while kissing me. "Call me every day and talk to me," He said while I rolled my eyes.

"Sophia, Don't forget that you are my-"

I touched my palm against his lips and stopped him from completing his sentence.

"Shh...We decided to keep it as a secret!" I scolded him.

"Visit your auntie and convince her somehow, I will do the same too, I am going to tell everyone at my house too" He smiled.

"You don't know my aunt, She will just kill me," I said.

"Then I have no choice but kidnap you" Alex laughed and kissed me on my nose.
