Can someone love a person she just met? Can we call it love?
Aera's POV
I'm here at an unfamiliar promenade, beside my sister when a shadow of a man stood in front of us.
I took a quick glance and noticed how fine he is.
His hair was light brown,clean cut but few strands had already fallen on its forehead.
"Hi young ladies, mind if I invite you for a walk?" He uttered with a smile on his face.
Neither of us disagree nor agrees.
"So I guess I'll take your silence as a yes?"
We started wandering the place so I ask out of curiosity,
"Mind if we introduce our selves to each other? It's a li'l bit awkward for us to walk with you without knowing your name." I put a smile on my face after saying those words.
"Hmm, pretty convenient, I must say. So im Bryle Axel how 'bout you two?"
"Im Althea" my sister excitedly said.
"And im Aera, by the way we're sisters"
We ended up spending the whole day with him. We played, had fun, and wandered around different various sights.
Hours passed so quickly, just like how quick I fell for him. Yes, I dont know why, but the euphoria of spending a day with him is the feeling i'll never forget. I can feel that my eyes are shining from too much happiness.
For me, he's the every girls dream, no scratch at all!
"Can you two promise me something? Promise me that no matter what happens, we will find each other, and we'll meet again" Bryle suddenly asked out of the blue.
Our face twisted in confusion, but immediately agreed.
We put our hands together as if we're swearing and promising at each other.
I was just in the middle of the sentence to ask him about what he have said but a sudden force push me off the bed.
So it was a dream. Its not real. I suddenly seemed to lose the will to live after knowing that everything was just a dream.
But I remeber our oath, our promise.
~~~
Few weeks have passed since that dream. I'm slowly loosing the hope to find him again.
I'm here at a public market, getting goods when a familiar shadow appeared in front of me.
I quickly draw my attention to the owner of the shadow, and I'm right, it was him. I clearly saw how happy he is when he saw me. I immediately ran towards him and grant him a hug.
Is this the beggining of my lovelife?
~~~
It's been 4 years since we find each other. I'm now walking in the isle, while he was waiting ahead, I clearly saw his teary eyes, he was really happy.
I Immediately hold my tears and continued walking, faced him as we exchange a smile, and after that I went straight to the seat of the bridesmaid.
Haha, yeah I was the bridesmaid. And my sister was the bride.
~~FLASHBACK~~
(The moment they saw each other in the market)
I was hugging him, but I suddenly noticed that he's not hugging me back. Maybe he's just too surprised to see me. I slowly pulled my hug from him.
"Bryle c-can't you r-remember me?" I forced a smile despite of my nervousness.
"Of course I do, you're Althea's sister right?
I just stare at him blankly
~~END OF FLASHBACK~~
I held back my tears while watching my sister and bryle exchanging their I do's.
I love him but how can I insist if we are not destined?
How can I fight against destiny if he doesn't love me?
How can he love me if he only values my sister?
I let my self breakdown in tears. How unfortunate, here am I suffering in silence. Watching my ideal man kissing my sister.
Fate was really decieving huh,
For me, hes the man from my dreams, but for him, im just the sister of the girl from his dreams.
