Eternity
Ayzal's patience snapped as she poked him hard in the chest. "What have I done to deserve this?" Her voice shook with a mix of anger and hurt. He stayed silent, his eyes avoiding hers, hands stuffed in his pockets. She yanked him closer, her breath hot against his face. "I need to know why you have been shutting me out. For months, I have felt invisible to you. Don't I mean anything?" Her tears began to flow freely, and she wiped them away with frustration. "If it is too hard for you to be with me, then just say it. I can't keep living like this, feeling abandoned. Please, if you don't want me, let me go." With a final, sorrowful push, she stepped back. --- In the heart of a timeless romance, two souls were bound by a sacred promise, destined to be together forever. Yet, fate had other plans.
