Captivating Love (Short Story)

Diposting oleh Sophie-chan di 08.19


It’s been more than five years since you left me, you said it was because of your family couldn’t accept our relationship, so we should ended it, though you said you loved me, but up until now I kept wondering, if you really love me, why didn’t you even try to maintain our relationship back then?

Every day felt like nightmare since you left, my beautiful life turned into a life which I never knew before, it became worthless, and I wasn’t ready to face that kind of life, I didn’t have any preparations for that day to come, I never thought you would leave me, but it happened anyway.

You said you would never leave me, and stupidly I was believed in you. In fact, I believed at everything you said, but who didn’t? You had a sincere smile, warm personality and always being nice to everyone, everyone would definitely think you were a perfect guy, and all of those things made me drown in your love, and I lost my own self.

 I felt you became out of my reach, you always avoided your gaze from me whenever we accidently met at the school corridor or somewhere else, you didn’t say a simple ‘Hi’ to me in class but you greeted every single person you met whether inside or outside the class, all I could do since then were just watching you from afar, but it was so painful to see you were doing completely okay without me, more painful than the ‘Goodbye’ you said to me, I never knew it was that hurt to ended a relationship.

Maybe it would take a whole life to heal this broken heart you gave, because I still could feel my heart is being scattered inside, it still hurt just by heard your name came out from people’s mouths.

But I never saw any slight of sadness whenever I saw you, instead you looked happier after we broke up, ‘seemed like you really enjoyed your life with your friends,’ I thought, went to a karaoke, ate together, or simply chattering around. I always thought you were so happy without me, while I was suffering a lot, and even lost my zest of life.

That day, I promised I have to be strong, for myself, I should show you that I’m okay without you,  and I promised I would never, ever loved anyone anymore, I closed my heart to whoever it is.

After all this time I tried so hard to recover, to be strong, I finally did it, at least I’m strong to enough to pretend I’m alright in front of you.

But then…

“Liz, please…” You pleaded for a second chance, kneeling on your knees, gripping on both of my hands tightly, those eyes are still as gentle as ever, ‘oh how long I didn’t stare at those beautiful brown orbs’, I thought. I might fell for him again anytime if I kept staring at him, so I let go of his grips, took my hands and left him without a word uttered.

 ‘Why you ask me to come back with you after all this time, why now when I almost finally so much better since you left, why you suddenly came as if you never did those horrible things to me? weren’t you the one who left me? Ryan, why?’ I thought, I don’t want to fall in love with him for the second time, I don’t want to suffer more.

But nothing has changed with him, the way he stared at me, the way his hands held onto mine, the way he smiled, everything is still the same, “No, Elizabeth, no, don’t fall into the same trap again,” I said to myself as I shook my head.

I tried to live my life normally the next day, went to the college, tried to focus on what the lecturer explained, and enjoyed my lunch with my best friend, it was raining when I wanted to go home, thus, I decided to go to the library to do the assignment which the lecturer gave earlier, when suddenly I felt someone took my hand, “Liz, please, don’t run away anymore, at least let me explain everything,”

I knew exactly who it is without turned my head, there’s nothing I could forget his voice.

H begged for me to hear his explanation, I hesitated but finally nodded my head, I turned my body to face him, we sit facing each other and he started to tell everything.

“I’m sorry for leaving you that time, I knew I was such a coward, I hurt you a lot, but I was only a 16 year old boy who didn’t clearly understand anything, all I did was just following what my parents wanted, and I unintentionally hurt you, I thought you would be better not long after it, but everytime I saw you, all I could see was deep sadness, and… depression. It hurts me to see you hurt, though I knew I was the reason behind it. Until one day I realized that I really love you, and I want you back,” he explained everything and I just lowered my head, “I knew I’ve hurt you so bad, but please, give me a chance, Liz, once is enough, I’ll show you I can make you happy.” He tried to convince me as his hands held on mine, stroked them softly.

It was the first time Rny talked these much to me since we broke up, but I don’t know what should I do, I don’t want to be hurt more than I’ve got before, because I know there’s a risk to get hurt from being in love, and I don’t want to go back to that dark phase. But I can’t also deny myself, I still love him, so much, and he’s all I ever wanted.

“Ryan, I…” I tried to speak and I could feel a deep stare from him, “I don’t know…”

He kept begging at me, promising he would never do the same mistake, and I sighed heavily, “You don’t know how painful it was, Ryan, it took more than five years to made me feel better, and it’s just a little better, honestly, I’m not fully healed yet, but forcibly, I still love you, with all of the broken pieces of me, my feeling hasn’t changed at all.”

He smiled at me, softly, a smile that I always love to see, “I’m really sorry, Liz,” he said as he gripped on my hand, “could you give me a chance to fix everything? This time only me and you, I won’t let my parents to intervene, I love you”

I unconsciously nodding my head, I can’t lie to myself, I still want to be with him, and I don’t mind if I’ll get hurt again, all I want is just to be beside him, coloring our days together.

He hugs me securely, and I hug him back, bringing myself into his embrace, how I miss his warmth.

“Thank you, Liz, thank you, I promise I would never let you go this time, I won’t waste this second chance,” he said as he caressed my hair, I could feel there’s love he sends from his fingers through the touch.

I hug him tighter, “I don’t need promise, Ryan, just stay beside me,”


And here am I. Drowning in this captivating love once again…
