Coming Home

It's him. It's him whom I met again in this new world of mine. Him, the person who greatly hurt me. He is standing right there. I can't move. After all these years, after all these waiting, I am seeing him again.

"He's my boss, Em. Isn't he dashing?" She whispered into my ears when she saw me staring at this man in a suit, laughing with others. I can't barely hear the words Aliza had said. I look at her wide eyed then back at him.

So the man I have been painfully waiting for all of these years is the boss of my employer. What a shock!

"Ali, I'm going to find the restroom." I diverted my gaze back to Aliza trying to get out of this place for awhile.

"Em, are you okay? You look pale." I'm not. Want to tell her but I just showed her my hearty smile so she nod at me and told me to be back quickly.

I just stared at the mirror. Should I go back? I don't know what to feel. All I know is I'm starting to break again.

I got out of the room after half an hour when I remember Ark. I should call home.

As I got out, taking my phone out my purse I bumped into a stone. A growling stone. As I look up to see this hard-bodied man, I saw him. And in that moment, I think I become a stone as well looking at him.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you." He apologized. Bent down and take the things on the floor.

"Here. Your phone." His nerve to talk to me like nothing happened before. I didn't answer.

"Have we met before? I-I think we did but I can't remember where. Have we?" In that instant moment I was shocked to my core. Is he joking or what? I don't know what happened to me. I looked at him with despise and then, slapped him with all my hate. I am momentarily shocked with my behavior but I hurriedly stake out of the place.

Hell, that feels good.

A story of love, acceptance, and forgiveness.
