Part II

[Rey’s POV]

I was waiting for her to come out. I decided to wait for five minutes more. I wondered if she’d gotten my message. Getting impatient, I reached for the door to turn the knob when she opened it from inside and stepped out, making me take a step back.

Kriya broke the silence, “You wanted to see me?”

Putting my hands in my front jeans pocket, I walked and spoke, “Yes… we were talking in the morning before…” My voice trailed off and she understood what I was hinting at. She nodded her head and didn’t stop.

She spoke after we walked a couple of steps out in the open field, “Rey… you have nothing to feel guilty of. I don’t regret anything that happened…” She was looking straight in my eyes, taking a brief pause in steps so as to mark the importance of her words and to avoid running into anything.

I understood that part, though I sensed a ‘but’ coming. “But?”

She inhaled deeply before continuing. “But I need time. Don’t misunderstand me… I’ve thought a lot and you should know that. I’ve always loved you… it was you who didn’t want to listen to me. What’s done is done, but I can’t forget anything that easily. Honestly, I don’t have the strength to pretend anymore. I’m hurt… very hurt. I’ve already told you this before. My father left my mother and me when I was too young. After that, it wasn’t easy for me to trust guys. Yet, you made me believe I could trust you. I fell for you. And then you went ahead and did the same thing. My worst fears came true, and it’s not easy for me to silence the pain. Not going to hide that from anyone but you need to know too…”

This time, I was understanding completely. I spoke up taking her hand in his, “You don’t have to anymore. What I did was completely wrong and you have full right to be mad at me. You have the right to punish me. My jealousy came in the way… After you left, I realized how wrong I was. It was my fault to doubt you. Punish me for that if you like, but please… don’t punish us.”

She replied instantly shaking her head, “I’m not. I’m not punishing us. It’s hard to stay away from you too. Every day after we met again, I’ve stopped myself. It’s not about us right now. It’s about trust. My trust upon you has been questioned. It’s the trust that I have lost. It’s going to take time to rebuild.” She smiled and continued, “And I know our love for each other will be enough to bring that back, right?”

He blinked with and answer. Before I realized, he had said it, cupping her cheeks, “I love you.”

It was a soft and a genuine response to say I understood it all. I was ready to take it one step at a time. After the nights’ event, it would be ever harder to hold myself back. Yet, I knew it had to be done. She put a soft hand on my check and mouthed the words, “I love you too.” No voice escaped her throat, just a bare mouthed-word.

It was enough to last us for eternity if it had to. At least, we knew for sure that our love was there with us.

Just a matter of time.

A/N: Yes, I know this is short. I don't want the prologue for Part II to be too long. I shall attempt to update another chapter, a real one this time, by tonight - no promises. First week at work has been a bit hectic & even though it's the middle of the day, I keep zoning off. All I want to do is take a nap.
