Butterfly Effect

Chapter 2

"Leandro, I think it is time to tell you this," my grandmother started. I gave her a curious look with a hint of confusion.

"Well, you see darling, a long, long time ago, 1885,there was a beautiful land of flowers here in La Trinidad. The land was owned by a very wealthy and influential family during that time. That family had 4 children, 2 boys and 2 girls. The eldest, Theodora fell in love with one of the family servants, Alicio. They kept seeing each other behind Theodora's father, Don Isidro's back. During that time, it was strictly prohibited to be in a relationship with someone below your social status. Even though this type of act is prohibited by Don Isidro,love took over her. A dreadful day came when Don Isidro found out about the relationship going on between his daughter and Alicio. That day was the worst day for the both of them. And may I add that, that day, was two days before Theodora's birthday. Don Isidro ordered his men to capture Alicio. Theodora didn't know anything about this. But all she knows, is that he loves her, as much as she loves him...

April 18,1885, Theodora's birthday but for her, it was just a normal day. Iristina, Theodora's younger sister gave her a letter. When she asked whom is it from, Iristina just shrugged and said she just saw that at the land of flowers while she was just roaming around picking flowers for Theodora's birthday, then she saw the envelope on the ground near the white roses, then Iristina saw that it is for Theodora and she thought twice about picking it up and giving it her elder sister because she thought that it was from Alicio and she also knows about the secret relationship of Theodora and Alicio.

When Iristina walked out of Theodora's room, she quickly went to the window and read the letter:

My love Theodora,

I am sorry for the trouble I caused you. I should've fought this feeling I felt for you. Even though I knew it was wrong to love someone like you, I still continued to love you ignoring all the risks and dangers I may face when the truth about us will be revealed. But I know that I regretted nothing. Thank you for the memories you have given me, thank you for making me smile whenever I'm sad, making me laugh whenever I'm gloomy, and giving me hope when I feel like the worlds going against me, but most of all... Thank you for making me feel loved. This may be the last time I could write a letter for you because I am sure my end is near, but no matter what, always remember that I love you. And a happy happy birthday to you my love.

Don't worry my love, our story will be written again in the near future. It may not be tomorrow or the day after that. But I am sure, that it, won't take, forever....

Until death do us part---

Forever Loving You,

Alicio
