"Oh! I am so sorry." Aselia replied.
"It's totally alright. You dont have to apologize for anything." His grip on the glass had tightened and she could feel it was not alright. He still suffered.
"You still miss her. Don't you?" Said Aselia very softly.
"She will always be a part of me. I will always miss her. She chose her career over me, as she wanted freedom and got tired of all the eternal love we promised each other. When you live this long you tend to get tired at a point." Rivan stared at the fireplace, his eyes glistening as the fire reflected in them. His firm jaw was clenched and Aselia almost felt pity for him. That's why she didn't want love.
"I see, another reason not to fall in love. It's the heartbreak after that haunts me to even think about."
