His Lover For Her
I have two friends. They really loved each other. I could see in their eyes how deep their love was. I witnessed every single one of their strong relationships. And to make a long story short, everything was ruined when she suddenly disappeared without giving any information to my friend Alexander. I saw him crying at the back of their house. I moved towards him. Standing in front of him, but he didn't care. There were still some doubts lingering in his mind. He always asked me these
"Why did she leave me?"
"Why did she leave me all of a sudden?"
"Why? Is she no longer feeling love for me? Am I not enough for her?"
"Why is it so hurtful? I had no idea what love was, and I had no idea how it felt inside".
He cried a lot while uttering those words. I wanted to laugh, seeing how he was crying because of her, but I didn't. I hugged him instead.
"She loves you a lot; I know that, but I have no idea why she suddenly disappeared. But believe me,she loved you. You're my friends, so I know how much you loved each other".
I was trying to comfort him by telling him how much Andrea loved him.
"But why wouldn't she come to see me and tell me what happened?"
"I-I love her; I truly l-love h-her". Stammering. I haven't seen a man cry like that for girls. But he did.
He's never given up. He is still hoping and praying that Andrea will come back to him. He never stopped searching for her. He did a prayer. Every single day,waiting for her arrival. But nothing had happened. I told him to stop, but he didn't even listen to me. But I know he still loves her.
Days and months have passed quickly. He started to pay attention to himself, but he never gave up on loving her.
(2years later)
He has a new girlfriend, and she is beautiful. She is kind, like Andrea. She is so lovely. And she loves him so much. He starts to love someone, but that doesn't mean his love for her has faded away. She reminds him of her. Yeah, I know it. I know everything because we're friends, after all.
We became close when he was in pain. When I was at the park, my phone rang, and I looked at it to see who it was. Unknown, so I answered the call.
Someone called my name. I looked at my back, and I was in such shock at who it was. She was in front of me. She has a smiling face, as she always has.
She invited me to go ahead and talk. She was crying a lot when I told her that he was going to marry his girlfriend. I asked her what had happened. I have so many questions. And she gave me an answer in detail.
She'd felt what he'd been through. Her phone fell into the water because of her father. And she didn't even know any of the numbers on her list. Even his number. She didn't even know what to do. She couldn't back up. Her father warned her to stop seeing Alexander. And it was not that easy for her. But because she loved him dearly, she relied on him and trusted him. So as time passed, she didn't even think about how bad it was for him, knowing that he thought she had cheated on him.
"I love him so much; that's why I came back after finishing my 4-year course". She's crying a lot in front of me.
"It's all my fault. And it's so painful. It's so much pain I have ever felt in my whole life". She said while crying. What he did for me two years ago... I hugged her tightly. And I told her everything. The days when he longed for her and her love.
I called him. And I told him she was here with me. He came as fast as he could, so I knew he still loved her that much. I thought it was only in the drama. I even had tears streaming down my face when I was looking at the two lovers. He hugged her as if he hadn't seen her for thousands of years. They talked while their tears fell down their cheeks. Oh my God! I didn't know what to say when I heard his words to her. It really touches my heart.
He held her hands, looking into her eyes. And said
"Oh God! I missed you so much, Andrea. I loved you so much. And you know how much I love you, right?" she just nodded, and he continued
"So please, forgive me. I didn't know what to do when you left. I longed for your love. Every day I was hoping that you'd come to me and start over. My heart cries whenever I look at your eyes. Andrea. I thought I would die. I met someone, and now we're going to get married". He cried when saying these words. Even the "married"... he continued.
"I thought I moved on. But now I am so sure how much you mean to me. Remember this, Andrea, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, okay? You are always my love.". Andrea couldn't suppress the pain in her heart.
"X-xander?" She's stammering, saying his name.
Andrea looked at him. Her eyes pleaded with him to come back and stay with her. But she couldn't ask him for more.
"I'm suffering and fearful whenever I think about you. I-I know, X-xander, that there's someone already loving you, but I can't let you go. I-I c-can't Xander!" Andrea said.
Alexander sighed. He ignored the tears on his cheeks. He was just looking at her. I can read him easily; he wishes he could turn back the time when they were both happy and those moments they had shared.
"Why? Why is it only now that you were found in this situation, Andrea? "he asked, wiping her tears. He couldn' barely even catch his breath. He is in a lot of pain seeing his girl in a lot of pain too, in this way. He wants to stop the pain in their hearts, but he doesn't know how. He felt like such a fool. He had been regretting not waiting for her. All this time, he thought she had cheated on him. But even if it was cheating, he wouldn't stop loving her.
They are still in love. It seemed time went fast, and Alexander missed Andrea badly. He was madly in love with her. And there's no doubt in his mind...
Alexander wishes he could stop time. And be with Andrea forever.
He couldn't help but cry. He was crying all day long. He can't sleep even at midnight. He wants to stop the marriage, but how?
The girl he will be marrying soon is the daughter of his late father's friend.
I opened the door and talked to him.
"Xander?" I called, and he raised his head. "Here!" I handed him the envelope.
"What is it, Moraine?" He hopelessly asked.
"She asked me to give it to you".
I'm just standing here beside him. I want him to get over the pain that he burdened.
I sighed. And I saw the teardrop on the envelope. I know he's crying while reading her letter.
To: Alexander
We were both young and madly in love with each other. I was happy when you surprised me on my birthday. You made an effort to make it perfect, and it made me so happy. Do you still remember when we were together and you said "I will marry you, Andrea, here"? There was a church nearby. I couldn't ask for more, Xander. You are enough for me to live my life with. I went to the place we used to go, and there I remembered how you made me so glad. You hugged me and said "I love you, Andrea. I love you so much". It was a sound and the only word that gladdened my heart.
My love, Xander. I came back for you. My heart pleaded with you to come back to me, but my mind prevented it. Because I know you belong with someone else. I love you so much, and I don't want to find anyone else. Because you are the only one. You are more than enough for me. There's no breakup between us. But you broke my heart.
Every day I woke up in the morning, all I wanted was you. To see you and feel your love. I feel so bad, and I can't believe I would be here. I wasn't prepared, Xander. I wasn't prepared to face it alone. But then I'm glad; I thanked God. He has chosen us to share the love that we didn't expect.
I wish I was her. That woman. That should be me, Xander. If only I could, I would turn back the time to when we used to be. The time we were together, but all of these.............was Just a dream.
I hope you will be happy. I'll see you soon. You deserve to be happy my love. I want you to love your soon-to-be-wife. This is what God wants for us.
My Xander, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH WITH ALL MY HEART.
-Andrea-
I hugged him. I can see the tears and pain in his eyes. I let a deep sigh out. I can't help but feel his weaknesses.
"Ssssh, stop crying, Xander. Andrea doesn't want you to be like this. Be strong, Xander, OK? She loves you so much. She did it because she loves you". I told him, and he nodded, tears slipping from his weeping eyes. I feel sorry to see him about what happened to them.
"I-I-love Andrea. I c-can't, Moraine," said Xander. Stammering. His voice was full of pity.
THE END
