"So what happened next?" I looked over at... I sighed I can't remember what her name is, but I think I saw her before. Her brown eyes stared at me and I have to look away because it gives me chills.
"And just like every love story, dear... It ended." I smiled bitterly as I touched the yellow pages of my old diary.
They said we had the perfect love story. Two different individuals brought together by the stars that lined up in the sky. We just don't have forever to prove it.
Aurick died a year after he told me his condition. But those twelve months were my happiest. Those were my halcyon days. The happiest I've ever been. He was my sun, my moon and all of my stars... And I suppose a light that lights that bright is not meant to last...
Every nerve in my body died with him, my heart stopped beating and my lungs stopped receiving air. I don't even know if I'm alive or am I just breathing.
I've lived like that for eight years, until I met Hendrick, my husband. He showed me what's left good in this world. He picked up the shattered pieces of my jagged heart. He saved me from the misery I am in. And mostly, he made me realize that I am still capable of loving...
We were blessed with 4 children. Three boys and a girl. And I am happy. Finally.
But sometimes I still think of a certain boy, whom I had given my heart, who made me believe that destiny do exist, who made me believe of how love can be the reason of your happiness and your sadness. A boy who made me feel a thousand of feelings. A boy... Not just some boy...
And for no reason at all I feel my heart shatter into million of pieces.
"Sleep well." The girl I was with earlier was tucking me in. I smiled at her and patted her hand.
"You remind me of my beautiful daughter dear, her name's Auricke." She looked at me with teary eyes and smiled.
"Do you regret loving him?"
"Who? Aurick?" She nodded her head. I looked up to the ceiling and suddenly I feel like I'm the nineteen year old girl who's hopeless romantic and naive.
"One thing Aurick taught me, dear is to never regret anything because at one time it was exactly what you wanted... It made me happy. He made me happy. And I will never regret those times."
I smiled at her for the last time and slowly closed my eyes...
"I love you, mom. Good night..."
