MP LIGHTS 143: BOOK 2

P35: Grace's Invitation

I used to live at Barcelona.
Where I met Esperanza
But; tragedy happened,
When she left me for ambition.

I was alone, I am thinking of
going back to Manila.

I left, Barcelona.
I moved at Kagoshima;

Where I met Grace, first.
Everything is at the right place.

Until;
She left me, in exchanged of getting married.

In the same place at Kagoshima
I met Sakura.
I avoided her for being hurt
After loving Grace,
But she followed me at Osaka.
And our love was born there.

I was happily living with her now.

Until;one morning, while we are eating our breakfast.

A letter was dropped in front of our door;

Sakura handed it to me.

I was so shocked,
It was Grace's handwriting.
She was inviting us for a visit.

We are excited, probably she invited us for a baby shower party.

Since she was married for one year.

Upon getting down to our car;

We have seen several men and women wearing black and white dresses.

Those men and women are at their nodding position

The place is bounded with heavy air
The place is hugged by the gray hues

Until we have seen a white bed with silver linings and glass door at the top.

We moved closer, and the falls flowed in our eyes.

We have seen Grace sleeping at that bed while smiling.

I couldn't say a word.
Somehow, I blamed myself
For giving up.
For not stopping her enough
By the time her card was stolen.

Sakura hugs me and says
"You are not to blame for this, I know wherever she is, she understands you."

We immediately left the place.
I am still confused.
I left Sakura at the moment.

I went to the place where we last met.
I saw Grace, wearing the same white dress, she wore the last time we bid goodbye.

She moves closer and said;

"Don't blame yourself, I invited you, so you can see me at last glance".

I asked her;
"Why did you end it that way?"

She cried and said;

"I cannot bear living with the man who, stole my card, who ruined what we have."

"I tried to console myself by forcedly marrying to him, but day by day the pain in my heart is getting heavy,
Until, I cut it."

I cried, and said;
"Sorry for giving up".

She replied;

"Listen to Sakura, you are not to blame for this, this is my choice, go now, and thank you for accepting my invitation."

After that short conversation.
Sakura found me and we decided to go back to our place.

Upon riding into our car,
Grace shortly visited and smiled at us.
