Solar Eclipse Of The Heart(Completed)

Chapter 14

Zach

I had just landed in Manhattan and I was so excited to see Ash, my love. It’s been an year since I have met her. Once again I wanted to touch her lips, her curves of her body and her feminine scent. I miss every bit of her
.
Next morning I decided to go to her apartment before she leaves for work. I wasn’t able to sleep I kept on tossing myself, I was thinking what I’ll say to her, after how things left between us. I wanted to clear all her doubts and freshly start  once again.
It was 5:00 am, I hit shower, I wore a plain black shirt and blue jeans and then I took my car keys and drove myself to Astrid's apartment.

After 20 minutes I reached her apartment. I was so terrified, how she will react. My hands were cold as I reached for doorbell. Somehow I managed myself and pressed the button.

I was so nervous, every second passed like an hour but then suddenly door opened. I saw Astrid she was all sleepy, her hair were messy and God! She was looking more beautiful.

“Astrid…” I gasped.

“Zach..!” she said shockingly.

“Can I come inside.”

“yes of course… but.. but.. what are you doing here in Manhattan?” she questioned.

“I know Ash you must be shocked after seeing me like this. I just wanted to clear how things left between us and wants to have a fresh start of our relationship.” I said making myself comfortable on sofa. “My father had a debt of 40 million so I had to pay that and I didn’t wanted you to involve in all this matter and it took me 1 year to pay that and that’s why I didn’t contacted you for 1 year” I continued.

“ I am so sorry to hear that Zach” she said squeezing my hand.
I was shocked at what I saw next.

“Are… are you engaged?” I stuttered.

“ Yes to Paul, after you left me like that Paul stood behind like a wall and yesterday he proposed me for marriage.”

“And you said yes to him” I said with a sarcastic grin on my face.
“Zach it was almost an year since we didn’t contacted and I had to move on with my life. I hope you will understand.”

Without listening another word I left from there. I was so heart broken because I had lost the girl whom I have loved the most. 
Whatever pieces of Astrid that I recalled from the past year is just enough for me to know that she is the women that I have been looking for, my match but I ruined it.
Astrid has been in my thought every waking hour. When I go to my bed in night, her memory lies down besides me. I wanted to see her smile and her laugh again. I wanted to hear her scream my name in bed again.

I drove away from her. I have been driving more than a hundred km an hour, not caring if I’ll hit somebody. May be I wanted to get into accident so that I don’t have to face the reality that Astrid is with some other guy. I don’t know where I was or where I was going. I was driving without a destination or a purpose.
