Chapter 1094: Over (1/2)
This time it is not a slow kiss.
It is a passionate kiss.
And Azief respond even more passionately. Because for some reason they both knew it was the last time
And because they know this, they kiss more passionately than they ever did.
But it was not sloppy. It was not something that is dirty. Instead it is something that is beautiful, the desperation of wanting to be together
The passion of the feeling is felt by both of them.
And then they broke off the kiss and just look at each other again
Azief did not smile. And she also did not laugh. She is in tears again and Azief shakes his head as he closes his eyes
'Don't' he said
Sofia bring her hand to his cheek and caress it.
'I once said that I would never choose to walk away from you just because I knew that it would never be. I said that I would be the judge of that. When my heart felt more pain being with you than it is not being with you, then I will leave. And when that time comes, if you still did not have an answer, then I got my answer.
Azief opens his eyes and look at her and he could see sadness in her eyes even though she is smiling and she said
'I got my answer now'
Azief remains silent, his eyes are still closed, feeling the touch of her hand on his cheek.
'I guess I love you more than you love me. And the one that loves more is always at a disadvantage' she said
'It is more painful'
Azief slowly grabs her hand on his cheek and he holds it so tightly, never wanting to let it go
'I'm tired. I'm in pain. And I could not do this anymore. I am turning to the worst version of myself. I find myself obsessing over you, questioning you. I became distrustful of you. And I know I could not ask certain things from you'
Azief still did not open his eyes. If he opens it, tears would fall down from his eyes. He felt pain in his heart. A certain pain that he had forgotten
The pain of a heartbreak. And because of that, he could not let go of that hand. But knowing he has to let it go, he dreaded every moment of it
He did not say anything. No words could change this. Because she had made her mind. Sofia is also crying. But she did not sob. Still…...still…. he could feel the hot tears falling onto his hand
People said that there is a beautiful farewell. How could a farewell be beautiful? He wanted to ask.
At least, not this. It is painful. He asks his heart and he thought too simply of things. Still, he could not blame her.
Then a voice like whisper spoke to him.
'Let me go' But Azief hands tightened.
He did not want to see her crying and he didn't want her to see him cry. The moment passes slowly to him.
He wishes that right now, right at this moment, the words would come to him. A word that could make her stay, a word that could make her love stay
In this moment, right at the moment of separation, he felt so alone. He wished that she had said yes
He wished there is something he could do. He wished for a lot of things. But none of these wishes seems to be fulfilled.
He thought of all the first times that he had experienced with Sofia.
The good moments, the bad moments.
And it is not something he could easily forget. Even in the memory of pain, there is a trace of hope and love
But that is because she was there. Sofia seems to be waiting for him to make the decision. She is waiting patiently for him to let go of her hands.
And then he slowly and gently let go of her hand. He felt a kiss on his forehead
Then he felt the kiss on his nose.
And then on his lips. The wind breezes by and he could smell her sweet scent and then the sound in the tent seems to become empty.
Azief slowly opens his eyes and tears falls down from his eyes. In front of him, there is only the bed
Sofia is gone. The tent is empty and only the sound of the wind could be heard, the whistling of the leaves and the songs of the birds
'It's over' he thought to himself
