Letter of the HEART

It is a bright morning. The world seems to be peaceful. Just when you thought you have moved on, a lost love returns...

Stephanie was with her friends one morning when she saw someone she knew. It was Gab, her first real love. They were in love, but she have moved on. That's what she thought before she saw him with another girl. She felt a painful sensation all over her body. She was determined to know who that girl is, but cowardice stopped her. Later that day, she asked  a favor to a friend, John, who she heard, will be having a guys' night out with Gab that night. She wanted him to hand a letter to Gab. He told her that he would give it to him but she warned her not to expect anything much from Gab. She knew he was mad. But she was desperate to meet him.

So John gave the letter to Gab, who was hesitant at first but still accepted it and went home. He opened the letter and read....

Dear Gab,

I wasn't able to realize until i saw you today. What we shared before was a love that went astray. We were in love but our love just wasn't enough. I saw you with someone this morning. Was that the new happiness you found? I was so nervous that I can't go near you, afraid that you'll avoid me. I'm not really sure what to do and feel, so I'm writing you this. If it's not too late, then here is what I want to say:

The love I knew was different before I met you. It was selfish, it was bothersome, but then you taught this raging heart of mine what love truly is. I tried to run away. I tried to fool my self, but you never got tired chasing after me, so all i did was walked ahead. I never looked behind. Why? I was too afraid that the moment your eyes meet mine, my denying heart will reveal what it truly feels for you. I was so afraid of everything. What will happen if my parents knew?  They will abandon me. They will hurt you, and it will bring me so much pain. I know my heart is weak, but you know? I never thought that not having you beside me was more painful than enduring every pain with you. How I wish I had enough strength with me before. If there is one moment in my life that I wish I could turn back, it was when you told me you love me and that you are willing to accept whatever the world may throw to you just to be with me. All these years I have been carrying this one regret in my life. I never tried a chance with you. But now I realized that "You can never run away from love. You might convince your mind, but you can never deceive your heart". I'm really sorry. So if it's not too late, can you see me 6:30 tomorrow night at the place of our memories? The place were you first said that you love me. If tomorrow is bad, call me 09xxxxxxxxx . I will be waiting. I LOVE YOU!!!

                                                                                 LOVINGLY YOURS,

                                                                                                        Stephanie ♥

The night of their meeting came. 5:00, she was there. She waited for 2 hours but no one came, and then she got a call...

Stephanie: Hello?

Gab: Stephanie...

Stephanie: Gab! 

Gab: The girl this morning, she's my brother's wife. We were buying something for him.... I LOVE YOU! I never stopped loving you. That day, when we broke up... watching the sunset with you was my greatest wish. I thought it could bring us back together, But something went to my mind. I knew you loved me too but I know that you also love your family. I didn't want you to suffer even more so I let you go. I never loved anyone more than you. You were everything that I wanted. I wanted to grow old with you. But I guess... I can't do that anymore... If it's you, you can still find a guy who will love you and who will be with you forever. Take care in going home. I LOVE YOU! *click*

Stephanie: wait! gab! 

Tears started to fall from Stephanie's eyes. Then she noticed the commotion, ambulance and police cars were everywhere. Then she found herself looking at the guy she loves, smiling, holding the letter she gave, but then bloody and breathless from a car accident. All she could do was kneel down and cry. She couldn't utter a word. She couldn't stop crying while holding the one she loves, and the letter of her heart...
