Short Story

Learning to love him

It was exactly 4:00 pm in the afternoon and the rain poured heavily.

I was in my window staring at the rain dropping on the ground.

I close my eyes and deeply breath as a memory flash on my mind.

It was a very familiar memory. It was me in the picture wearing a long formal dress which you can only see in history.

Looking to myself was strange yet sad...

A man standing next to myself looking nowhere with both hands are close. Suddenly he look at me with those cold eyes.

A voice came from a door. There's an old woman entered. "I am very dissapointed! How could you do this to your family! You can't marry that man!"

I cried whispering apologies. "I love him!". I plead to the old woman which is my mom.

"Your love can't do anything dear daughter, He's not good on you, He will hurt you, you can't love him! I don't like him for you , Marry him Instead!".

My mom pointed the man beside me  then going out and slam the door.

I look at the man sadly as he stared back coldly.

His beautiful eyes. "Love me that's all I need, maybe I can't have your heart for now but someday I know".

That voice...

I was back to my senses when someone hug me. "I love you so much love".

I smiled. "You're right... Someday I can learn to love you too".

He smile back and kiss my head. "Thankyou for loving me, for giving me a chance to build my own future with you".
