Regrets
This is a story of a girl and a boy who were
together for a couple of years.
They were really happy together and
everybody can see and is positively envious with them.
They were students then when they first met.
Until they finished their studies and
pursued their careers.
Then they needed to be separated from each other.
Distance was not a problem as both of them gave some effort
just to be by the side of each other.
They were each other's world.
After months, the boy felt a sudden change with his girl.
and for months, he tried to win his girl
back, and save their relationship.
But one bad day, the girl called him.
She was crying on the phone telling the boy to stop fighting for her.
Giving the reason that
she doesn't want to hurt him forever
and she wants him to be genuinely happy with someone better than her.
But the boy doesn't want to give up,only before
the girl said her last ace on deck:
"I am with someone now! and I have been
cheating on you for two months already!"
Of course that was a lie.
Though there were so many guys trying to get her,
she remained faithful to him as he was to her.
Then the boy went crazy and said to the girl that she should die.
Because of too much anger and frustration in
his heart, the boy was desperate to find a new girl,and he did not fail.
He readily found a new one and fell in love with very quickly.
After a couple of weeks, his ex girl tried to talk to him and explain everything to get him back,
having realized that she can't live without him,
her true love.
But the boy was cold as ice and rejected her.
The girl was extremely broken- hearted.
She has no choice but to accept the fact
that she lost her true love already.
Her last words for him was she has a gift for him.
She asked the boy to wait for it.
.
Then they lost their communication because the boy changed his
number and blocked the girl from any means of connection
After two years the boy decided to marry
his current girlfriend.
A week after the wedding,
a package arrived to their home.
The boy opened it and found a small blue notebook.
It was the same notebook
he gave his ex 3 years ago.
Written on it is their story.
Everything, every single detail was
written there.
At the very end of the note was
these words:
If someday you found out that I am sick and dying,
don't cry for me.
Instead be happy that you are with someone who is healthy,
someone who can grow old with you.
Someone Who can give you children to experience how a great father you can be.
Either, don't be mad at me for what I have chosen for us....
You are the one who taught me how to love like this. To sacrifice your own happiness
to secure the happiness of the person you dearly love.
Tears rallied down his face.
He closed the notebook and tried to return it inside the envelope.
Suddenly two sheets of paper
folded together fell on the ground.
On the paper are some doodles and words he remembered doing with her ex when they were
together planing things for the future.. and on the same paper is the floor plan of the house
they dreamt long ago.
Flashbacks almost started when he saw
An address written at the
back of the plan.
The boy rushed to his truck and drove his
way to the address written on the
paper.
He knows that address because it was
the previous "peryaan"
they used to go when they were
students.
There, the house sketched on the
plan stands alone and seems to be
empty.
It seems like its just some months old.
The boy entered the terrace and on a
coffee table, he found a white envelope .
It was not sealed so he opened it and
found a key and a note saying:
"Gifts are meant to make the receiver happy.
It's yours.
I hope you like it and be happy with your family."
TO BE CONTINUED...as a novel?
