A call from the past
They met in an old road condemned for farmers. the Earth quakes with flood while the bushes stayed trimmed. It felt like destiny when he saw her and the fact that she smiled back at him made it all cooked up like fate.
She said her name is Amanda although she lied because telling him her name felt like giving away the voucher for her love. Same ways as always when she met her ex boyfriend yet this one in front of her brings alive those emotions that were laid to rest from her past experiences and trauma.
There's peace in her eyes. Her square face pinches every beauty he can imagine and the way she dressed enchanted him. "You should be a model" he stutters not knowing what to say and she doesn't blame him because she'd prefer no pick up lines.
Although I hate to say this but for a moment, he pictured her naked. A reverie that gave him a dream, a dream to know her enough to love her without obligations. The first week of acquaintances went sour and needy from his end yet she liked it thus built her wall higher because everything is now about her.
He used to spend the rest of the nights on his bed reading and writing, now it's either the Chess club or her place. But how things got here is destiny because she built her wall so high even forgot to keep a window yet he just happened to be that man for her and she was quite smart to see that too.
They say dream keeps us going and love motivates us yet they remain a cage set by ourselves knowing we can easily come out of it. What's money without happiness or hard times without the people you love because sometimes we laugh and eat in abundance while many times we frown and go to bed cuddling hunger.
Maybe tonight is that night. He can't catch some sleep. Neither can she over there at her place. Earlier today when they had met at their usual spot, she received a call from her ex lover and for a moment, things changed. You don't know how long she has been waiting for her ex lover to come back but right now, she happens to be on the fence because she has grown to love and Cherish her new man.
A part of her wants to go back after reminiscing those beautiful moments they had together yet the other part of her keeps drawing her to the bad moments, mostly the day he had beaten her to stupor. He's violent though wealthy and famous while at the other hand, her new man is poor though romantic and caring.
She wants your advice because I told her about our community and how we help each other here so she asked me to tell her story in order to glimpse of her next decision and choice. And please feel free to share your thoughts on this because she will waiting to read your comments. thanks
