It's been a month now and I plan on going to see Eva tomorrow since it's on a weekend.Sally is doing well and she'll be accompanying me.
"Jeff, how do you feel about going to see Eva after all those months of no communication?" Sally asks as she lies on the couch while her legs are on my laps.
"I'm confused right now. I know I have wronged her but I just hope that she'll find it in her heart to forgive me. I honestly can't imagine a life without her."
"You should be ready for anything she says or does. It might not be easy for her to forgive you and forget. You might as well let her go" my heart stops beating after she finishes saying those words
"NEVER. I might have done something terrible to her and maybe she'll never forgive me but I'll never let her go. If she doesn't forgive me I'll keep begging for her forgiveness until she accepts. I'll always beg her even if it's the last thing I'll do with my life. I can never let her go"
Silence takes over after I say those words and what Sally just told me keeps playing in my mind.
Would she really shut me off from her life?
Would she take me back and forget all that I have done?
I know I am being selfish right now but what am I supposed to do when my heart has fallen so deeply for her.
It's around 10 o'clock and Sally and I are heading to Eva's. We have about half an hour to get there. I'm excited to see her again after all this time but nervous at the same time.
"There's no need to get nervous Jeff. What will be will be so stop stressing too much." Sally smiles at me and I nervously smile back at her.
Her words kinda make sense but they don't cool me down a bit. If only things were different. If only I told Eva the whole thing before I made a decision. It's all my fault if I loose her forever. I'm the only one to blame for taking our love for granted. Many thoughts run around my head and it's now that I realize I'm going after nothing. I came all the way from Bartio for nothing. It hurts but it's the truth and my heart knows it, I've lost her for good.
I park my car at the parking lot and walk to Sally's side and open the door for her.
"We are here" I say in an exhausted voice and Sally gives me a look that says she understands all this well.
We walk to Eva's shop and we find Brian instead.
"Hey man, where is Eva?" I ask and he gives me an evil look
"She left a week after your wedding" he deadpans
"What do you mean she left? Where to"
"I don't know. See Jeff, you played with her feelings too much and you know that. I know I was never a good brother to her but right now, I'll protect her no matter what. I'll protect her from the likes of you"
"But you know we talked about this right? I told you to explain everything to her and I would come myself to explain again to her"
"And I did exactly that, she waited for you that week and she finally gave up and decided to leave the town. I tried to convince her to stay but then something hit me, what if you fell for your "wife" where would that leave her? I allowed her to go and promised to take care of her business until she comes back..if she'll ever come back"
A pang of guilt pierced through my heart and I felt like I couldn't take this anymore. She waited for me and I assumed she'd still be around waiting for the day that I'll come and explain to her personally. I was really selfish.
"Do you know where she went to?" I desperately ask him hoping he'd tell me something positive
"She hasn't communicated since then so, no, I don't know where she is. But don't worry, in case she does, I'll tell her you dropped by" he shows no emotions as he says this
I nod and hold Sally's hand as we walk back to the car.
"Don't worry Jeff, if she was meant to be yours, no matter how long it will take she'll come back to you" She squeezes my shoulder and I nod. Is she really meant to be mine? I never doubted us before but right now, I don't know what to think.
"Thanks Sally for bringing me here" I turn to her and hug her. We last for a few moments before we pull apart and she smiles at me
"Don't mention it Jeff, I'd do it again and again. That's what friends are for"
We drive away back to Bartio but even as we leave that town, I know that a part of my heart is lost in that town.
And it may never be found... maybe...
