3 years ago..
She lay on her bed, blanket over her head. Trying to drown out the thoughts in her head. She knew what she needs to do. She has promised his father, that she will let him go. He will go to Canada and start a new life. Time will heal the pain… the excruciating pain in her heart..Her pager went off, she flipped it over and read the last message she will ever receive from him ” I loved you with all my heart.. goodbye..” Her world crashed down on her that day.
3 years later..
She was just having a casual afternoon tea with a friend at Coffee Bean. Somehow she felt something tugging at her heart that whole morning, but she couldn’t put a finger to it. Then out of a sudden, someone tap her shoulders and she turn back. That face.. for a couple of seconds she felt like her world stood still. The same face she has been trying to forget, is now right in front of her.
“Wow, it’s really you!” he said.
“oh hi..so…. you are back?” she said, her mind in a frenzy. Then, she noticed her.
” Oh let me introduce you, this is Joy, my girlfriend” he said.
She couldn’t quite remember the rest of the conversation after that. She only remembered that when he asked her for her current contact number, she gave him a fake one. She didn’t really want to see them again.
That night, her heart felt like its carefully stitched up wounds has been ruthlessly torn open and left to bleed dry. She knew then that she hasn’t really let go of him 3 years ago. Physically she did.. but not otherwise. And that night, she made up her mind to truly let him go.. out of her life forever.
