You Promised
By : mhcampboy
A short story about love and promises. Blinded by distance and
distrust.
To all whom hearts are torn and healing. Ever wondered why your
love ones left you? Ever given promises which was empty?
Ever felt that you need to given a chance?
I dedicate this to you guys. Enjoy and be strong Aight
Will you wait for me until I come back? I ask K. He said he would.
He proposed for us to be together. I told him to wait until I come
back. But he see's no point in waiting and still want us to be
together. I said ok. We kissed and embraced together like there was
no tommorow. Our first kiss. Our first hug. It was all magical. It
was all real. At the airport, we spent few hours sitting down close
to each other, feeling the warmth of love in the cold airport. We
even tried to steal kisses oblivious to our surroundings. I love
you K. I said. He replied, I love you too babe. My soul was
complete. I have been alone for years now. And so has he. And this
was both of us first warmth of love after so long.
It was time for my flight. We walked slowly to the departure gate.
I didn't want to leave him. My mind was twirling at that time. I
wanted to stay. To be there when he needed me most. He was a new
person at that time. I shouldn't have leave. I asked him again,
will you be there when I come back and still love me? He said with
an assuring voice he would. I smiled. And hugged him goodbye. The
hug was supposed to be followed with tears. But I controlled it. We
waved goodbye. In my heart, I told myself, I am going to love you
with all my heart K. No matter what happen, I will. With that, my
handphone vibrated. New message. It was K. It read : I love ya...
Ya know? Take care please. I replied saying I love him too. And I
have missed him already. He replied saying, Ok. You know what? I
miss you quite a lot. I was overjoyed seeing that message. Everyone
in the waiting gallery was looking at me differently. In me right
now, was a happy soul. Never had I been so ecstatic before. Not
even with my ex boyfriend, E.
There were fine moments with E. But there were many more
heartaches. He cheated on me countless times. And yet I forgave him
and accepted him back to my life. I was tormented by his
flirtatious ways and abuse. Physical abuse. True he does love me.
But he took me for granted. Why I still accepted time and again if
he tortures me so much? People say I'm stupid. But I would say, I
will never leave love just like that. My loyalty towards the
relationship is strong. That is why I endured. As painful as it is.
Once I met few of his friends few months after we broke up. They
said, E told us so many good points about you. One of it was your
enduring loyalty and love towards him. I smiled knowing that E
realises it. The final blow was when he had an affair with someone
for the I do not know how many already times. That's it. I have to
move on. I left him. It was extremely painful. I told myself never
to fall in love again. And so, I healed my wounds. And now, I have
K in my life. He promised to love me so much that I will get sick
of him saying I love you everyday. He promised me never to break my
heart as how E broke it. He won't be a bore as E was. I smile to
myself eveytime he says that. K loves me. I love K. And that should
be enough to seal the bond of love between us. I pray for it. With
hopes it will be granted. I still do pray for it.
On flight, I thought about him. Thinking about how happy our future
will be. How amaze he will be when he is showered by my enduring
love for him. My mind was soon focused hours before my departure,
at my home. We talked. We hugged. We kissed. He told me, he is a
man of his words. He will promise to love me forever. And never to
break my heart. We talked about his life. His ex. His time off from
life. And our future. No matter what state of condition he is in I
would still by his side. He told me to stay. I didn't reply. He
repeated it again. I smiled. I should have stayed. I really should
have just stayed. I really should. I'm sorry K. Can we start
over?
As soon as I landed I was relieved. I rushed home so that I can get
online to check emails from him. I was pretty sure he will sent it.
And he did. I smiled.. I clicked on his message. I read it. He
promised to wait for me. He promised to be there when I need him
most. Above all he promised to love me. I replied saying how sucky
the plane food was. And how I am happy seeing his email. How I
missed him already. I told him I would be online on Yahoo
Messenger(YM). We will chat there like how we used to do back when
we were in Singapore. Spending till late nights chatting on YM
before on the phone. I miss those days. I unpacked my luggage. And
fell asleep. I guess I was too tired with love. Thinking of love.
Thinking of you, K. As I fell asleep, I embraced my pillow like how
I would embrace K. I really love you K.
We were soon chatting online. We talked. We chatted so happily. Not
enough with just online. We talked on the phone. We were so in
love. So in love till I made a decision. A decision which soon
changed my life. I didn't care about it. I just want to be near K.
To embrace him. I asked him, do you want me to come back now? Do
you want to come back, he replied. I asked him again, do you? He
said Yes. I was overjoyed. I'm coming back to you K. This distance
will soon be over. I immediately called the airline and inform them
of the date changes. I wanted to go back on that weekend. Which was
5 days away. The lady over the phone said, they can't change it.
There is no available seats till about 2 weeks later. I was
saddened. I told K about it. He said its ok. He will still wait.
Alright. I accepted the date changes. The airline gave me new
flight tickets. And I am roaring to go home. Even though it is
about two weeks away, I have already started to pack.
