Chapter 34 - Why? (1/2)

Ch-34

”I love you. From the moment I saw you eight years ago…” he said looking into the swirls of her green orbs, which were now widened in shock, as those green orbs stared into the pools of chocolaty orbs.

”What do you mean by eight years,” Eleanor asked as she looked into the dark pools of his chocolaty eyes, as her curious green emeralds looked into them, as if they wanted to drown in those chocolaty pools.

”I saw you for the first time eight years back. That day… I am a small high school teenager who doesn't know what to do. My mom fell sick. She is the most important person in my life. I felt blank, and my sister is too little to understand those things. I fell asleep at the side of the road drinking mercilessly.

”But you came into my life like an angel. You saw me and picked me from the streets. When you feel helpless… you took my purse and checked my address from my identification card and dropped me at home, asking my servants to take care of me. And you didn't take a single bill from my purse. I liked you when I realized it's you who helped me.

”I tried to search for you, but I know nothing about you. That's when God came to my help. I saw you in Jacob's Instagram photo. There is one of the backgrounds of his pictures you are buying cotton candy. I asked him about you and got to know you are his junior. I joined your school only for you even if it is for my high school junior year.

”But I got to know… you have a crush on him. Still… I didn't give up. But still waited for a chance to meet you and make you fall for me. You are three years younger than me, so… it's hard to find a chance to crash into you. I used to stroll around your classroom hoping to get a glance of you at me. But always failed.

”Once… you spilled juice on me and that's when our first official meeting happened. I used every shameless trick that could help me to meet you. I almost spent my year with you.

”But my mom's condition worsened suddenly due to the lapse in her health. I was broken inside and outside. And again, God sent you to me like an angel in my life. You asked me to fulfill her wishes. And to achieve them… I need to go abroad.

”I worked hard and studied hard only to reach a higher ladder earlier. So that I could get to you. But it takes years for me to finish my studies and come to you. But to me, you are the only one who is my motivation. Whenever I feel down… I looked into your photo and was motivated by seeing you.

”I returned to our country, Harmonia, only to wish you even though I got into a minor accident. But when I came here to greet you, I was welcomed with the sight of you being drugged and dragged by someone to a room full of men. I saved and wanted to take care of you, but couldn't do it, due to my mom's death. But the next day, I still squeezed a few minutes and came to you, only to know you went home. After finishing all the rituals of her funeral, I came to see you. Only to find you following like a lost puppy. I wanted to meet you many times and tell you that I will come for you, but whenever I saw you with him, my dreams of getting married to you crashed one by one.
