“I like seasons. They always bring color to my dull life. That every leaf that falls, reminds me how I fell for you. That every heat in the summer, reminds me of your burning love for me. That in every snow, your hugs would always keep me warm and safe. You’re always there for me” Amarra said.
“Okay then, I’ll be your season”, Lyssander smiled to her.
They stayed under the shade of the tree and felt the love vibrating within them. It’s been 3 years since they got into relationship with so much fights and happiness.
They stared at each other but Lyssander diverted his eyes to another direction. Amarra just laughed thinking that he can’t win in staring battle. They both decided to go to the waiting shed to ride on a bus going to Nami. They both live in Nami but they differ in village. After parting ways, they went into their respective homes.
Amarra decided to call him but he didn’t respond same as texting him. She just wanted to tell him to go out on a date tomorrow because tomorrow will be the first snow fall. She made 161 calls and 80 messages but none of them were even answered or replied. She just decided to sleep and ask him about it tomorrow.
The day came. And it’s the first snowfall. Many people went out to witness the first fall but mostly, they occupy the plaza. So Amarra decided to go to their favorite place where many trees grew up.
When she came there, some of the trees were already covered with snow, but there was no sign of Lyssander. So, she waited for almost an hour. Then Lyssander came without bringing something. She was expecting that he would bring something like what he usually do, but then she realized that he does not have to do it all the time. She felt unusual when he didn’t smile at her. She felt nervous, like there was something bad to happen, but she erased the idea because she loves him, then He came in front of her.
“Amarra, it’s the first snow fall, the day that you fell for me. And everything happens for a reason. I’m sorry for doing this to you. I’m sorry for everything. I don’t love you anymore. It’s just that every single minute my love for you slowly fades. Everything changes, Amarra. I’m sorry” Lyssander said.
She felt like breaking into pieces. She was crying for the whole time. She doesn’t know where to place all the pain she felt. Her cries would not even ease all the heartaches; instead every tear reminded her all the happiness she felt with him. All the time she thought that it was love.
Yesterday, the way he diverted the direction of his eyes, it simply tells her that he doesn’t love her anymore.
“You’re right for what you said yesterday. You are the season who once was mine. You CHANGE. You change to satisfy people, especially your parents, right? You think I didn’t know about it? About you being arranged to someone? Are you even a man? If you truly love me, you would fight for us, you would win for us, but then, just like what you said, you don’t love me anymore. You can’t fight for me because you don’t love me. You can’t battle for me because you don’t love me. And the worst thing was, I fought for you and battled for you that I even gave you the only precious thing I ever have, and that’s my heart, my love. It’s so sad that I fell for you, without you even falling for me. It’s so sad, that I won the battle for you, but I lost you. “
And with that she burst into tears again. ‘Why? Am I not worth fighting for?’ she asked to herself. That feeling where your world was breaking down, she felt more than that.
While Lyssander was in tears looking at her. ‘If I did just fight for you, maybe we’re still happy right now’, he said to his mind. He felt pain seeing her crying, so he left her there.
Letting her forget him and hate him would even be better rather than keeping her in his arms while being tied to someone. Letting her cry would even be better than making her smile and laugh knowing that they can’t be together.to be continue:
