LOVE IS A MAZE

AT MIDNIGHT:

ERIC'S POV:

i can feel myself getting back to old Eric who always kept smiling and living the life with happiness ,but why it's felt like if this happiness will be gone from my life i will not be able to live

ERIC:Henry is my happiness and ..Maya (I fell into deep thoughts that who is Maya to me)partner in hard times (i chuckle to myself)

i was sitting on my bed when i decided to change ,i got up and opened my cupboard and took out my pajamas but while taking them out some pictures fell on my feet ,i sigh while sitting down picking up the pictures when I saw Lara's face smiling I sat on the floor looking through the pictures,us holding Henry laughing cheerfully but unfortunately everything was fake ,for the first time I didn't felt myself breaking apart after looking at her ,the wound in me is filling up but still I think why she came in my life when she never loved me

I got up with these pictures and went downstairs direct into backyard I took out the bin and placed it In Front of me I took out the picture in which me and Lara were kissing I lastly looked at it and took out my lighter I burned the edge of the image and it starts to burn into ashes I put that in bin,I took another one and it was the picture when she was pregnant with Henry ,u was holding her womb kissing her cheeks,i just shook my head in disbelief and burned that too..one by one I burned all the pictures of us together from now on I don't want to remember anything about her , Lara's chapter is finally going to be removed from my life ,she is nothing to me ,I don't even feel pain in me that I felt few months ago just by looking at her smile,after burning every picture I sat in front of the fire in a chair blankly thinking absolutely nothing and cold breeze made me shiver

MAYA'S POV:

My sleeping got disturb because of grumbling of my stomach,I was feeling so hungry I sat on my bed thinking to what to eat ,I was sleepy too,but I can't sleep while starving myself ,so I got up and went downstairs while going downstairs I saw door of Eric's room which was opened which means he isn't in his room , shrugging my shoulders I went into the kitchen inorder to get something for myself,it was a little cold so I decided to make coffee and have some cookies with it ,there was a window in the kitchen which opened into the backyard from there I saw Eric sitting In Front of fire ,I decided to make coffee for both of us

ERIC'S POV:

I closed my eyes for some seconds when I hear a sleepy voice behind me

MAYA: What are you doing??(she came forward and asked me ,my eyes were still closed )

ERIC: Burning the remaining memory..(she sighs and bought chair next to me )

MAYA:Here..(I opened my eyes and saw her holding two cups of coffee with a packet of cookies,I silently took it from her)

ERIC: Thank you I guess..(she chuckles and sat beside me opening the packet and having her cookies she looks like a baby,I cleared throat when i realize what i was thinking )

MAYA: What we're you saying.. burning the memories..?(she asked while dipping her cookie in coffee)

ERIC:I ..had some pictures of Lara ,me and Lara ,so today I finally get courage to discard them and remove them from my life too..(I said in my heavy voice and she was listening to me with her widen eyes , making me chuckle) What..!!(She smiled sadly)

MAYA:,You were really in love with her weren't you??(I sigh at her question)

ERIC: I was…or maybe I am..I just don't want her to ..you know…even get into memories of me and Henry but it's impossible ,I loved the wrong person at the right time (I said looking at her and she took a deep breath)

MAYA: Love is a maze you can't get out of it easily.. it's hard..she was idiot to lost a diamond like you who loves her so much.. unlike me..who..got.. raped by the same person whom I feel comfortable to be with in past years..(Both were sitting silently recalling their painful memories) it is hard to move on but with you and Henry I'm going well.. it's getting possible for me to move on from that horrible accident and we have to take our revenge too .. right (I nodded and looks forward)Umm.. if you don't mind can you tell me more about umm you know (I know what she wants to listen,I interpreted her in between her statement and starts saying)

ERIC: You know when I got to know that Lara is pregnant with Henry I was beyond happy, I wasn't able to express my feelings but,she cried that day just for the reason that it's gonna ruin her figure and she doesn't want kids in 6 or 7 years of marriage,I tried to make her understand it that it's a blessing but she was trying to abort Henry,j got angry and didn't talk with her for slme days then she decided to keep him, I took really good care of her in those days and when she gave birth to Henry u throughout the biggest party of my life ,I gave special gift to every guest that attended that party..the beautiful day that was..

MAYA: Then why you starts..umm.. acting that cold with Henry..(I sigh)

ERIC: Actually after Lara…everything related to her was piercing my heart into pieces and having Henry around me made me feel like he is my worst memory too..I have treated him really badly but after you everything changed..(I said looking at her and she smiled)

MAYA:it must be hard for you.. but Henry is a gift or maybe a blessing for you in your hard times (I nodded)

ERIC: Actually..I got ..way more emotional because that was my second breakdown,first was when mom left me and dad just for her new affair,dad always tried to love her coax her give her everything she wants but in the end she left us and I decided to not Marry but when I met Lara,She changed my perspective I thought she is the one k wanna love my life with,she will never hurt me but I was wrong she betrayed me and hurted me ,I even tried to do suicide good thing Henry stopped me that day …I think me and dad are just unfortunate in women's matter(I chuckled) but I don't want Henry to go through it..(I sigh and grab my hand)

MAYA: He will never..I know..just believe in him and gave him the lpvebhe deserve..(her hands were giving me comfort but I'm scared to get habitual of this comfort)

ERIC: Let's.. just..get inside it's getting cold and the fire is almost over.. let's go (I got up While taking my cup too) Thanks again…I'm going I'm sleepy..(I quickly went inside after putting the cup on kitchen I went upstairs and closed the door,I sat on my bed,damn I'm getting emotionally attached to her ,stop before you could get hurt again, I'm feeling so good to be me again and I can't handle another breakdown while thinking he laid on his bed) Let's sleep (he covered himself in blanket and closed his eyes with a smile)

MAYA'S POV:

I was confused that why he ran like that ,but I didn't think much I also went inside and after putting my cup in kitchen,I went into my room ,I laid on my bed as my stomach was full I felt my eyes getting heavy and I slept
