Chapter 15: Chapter 15

Von POV

"Von someone is looking for you outside." I looked at Creed when he called me.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"The walking painful bro," he replied making my forehead frown. I stood up from sitting on the sofa and walked towards the gate. I opened it as I got closer and my heart almost fell when I saw Lit standing in front of me looking at me.

"Mon A-amour..." I stammered. She smiled at me.

"C-come in," I said. She shook her head while smiling.

"I'll leave right away," she said. "I just came here to return this," she said and handed me a paper bag. I took it and looked at the contents. My hoodie and the umbrella. I looked up at her.

"You shouldn't have done that," I said.

"I don't have anything to do," she said and put her hand on her head. "I have no intention of keeping things that I don't own," she added. Nothing changed. She still hurtful with words.

"Is that so." I just said and smiled at her. I was counted!

"Alright, I'm going in," I said goodbye and turned away from her. I was about to walk in when she called me.

"Von." Fuck it!. It was like raining love when she called me. Nothing has changed, it still has a different effect on me.

"W-why?" I asked nervously and slowly turned to her. I'm so confused.

She smiled at me.

"I'm glad to see you again." She says. I don't know but I was suddenly hurt by what she said.

I forced a smile. The scenario of her marrying my friend came back to me.

"Me too," I said.

"After 5 years I saw you again." She said with a smile.

"Right. You saw me again." I said and smiled then looked down.

"5 years ago, you said we will see each other again," I said and looked up at her then smiled bitterly.

"You said that we will meet each other again and that we are meant for each other." The words I uttered seemed to be magic because in an instant the smile on her lips suddenly disappeared.

"Von..."

I looked at the sky and then looked back at her.

"Go home, it looks like it's going to rain again," I said and smiled at her. I can see how she holds back her tears. I turned my back to her again and was about to enter but she speak again.

"Are you sad... Because I didn't marry you?" she asked. I don't know if I should laugh or what at her question.

I was hurt, I was hurt because I waited for her. But I don't want to blame her for the days when she was the only thing in my mind and heart while she wanted someone else.

"No." My answer. I immediately closed my eyes. Fortunately, I turned my back on her. Otherwise, she must have seen how my tears fell.

"Then... Don't think about the promise I made you before," she said so I secretly clenched my fist.

Is it that easy for her to forget that? For me, that was the hardest thing to do because, for almost half of my life, that was my inspiration to keep fighting.

"Forget that... I said that."

Is it that easy for her to say that? How? How could she say those things?

"Forget about me, Von."

I was deaf to what she said, my tears fell because of what she said. How can I forget her if she was the only woman who made me feel that I was important and that I was important? How can I forget her if half of my life is her?

I faced her. I can see how her tears fall while looking at me.

"I'll forget you too."

The words she released are easy to say, but can she do that? can I do that she knows and I know how much we love each other?

"Is that what you want Mon Amour?" I asked. I see how she wipes her tears.

"I'm married now, Von," she says.

"And I'm happy with him," she added.

"I see," I said and smiled at her. She took a deep breath and smiled at me.

"Sorry." She whispered.

When a promise turns into a sorry.

"I'm glad... To see you again for the last chance, Von."

And a sorry turn into goodbyes.

And Goodbyes lead you to become strangers,

A stranger with memories. a memory turns out to be the most painful thing you wanted to forget. You are a beautiful cycle of love.

As I watched her walk away from me, my tears continued to fall.

"I'm happy... To see you happy... with my friend... Mon amour." I whispered in the air.

I could only look in the direction where she was walking with one palm landing on my cheek and wiping my tears. I looked to see who it was and saw Aphrodite looking at me seriously while wiping my tears.

"Feelings can be controlled, but tears never lie," she said and looked at me then smiled.

"You control yourself earlier, that way you can't hurt her. Is that right?" she asked. I didn't answer.

"She's very lucky because you love her." She said and bowed.

"I wish I was her. I wish I was the one you love Von." She whispered.

I'm hurting someone while I'm hurting too. I just want to disappear now
