Frustrating Realizations
You found the perfect love but in the wrong time
"Class dismissed"
The whole class gets off their seats immediately to have their lunch. Then a green-eyed guy stood up his seat.
"Kallen, let's talk."
Blue orbs met with green ones. Determination is in his green eyes, hesitation is with the blue.
Kallen looked behind her. Her eyes met with a purple-eyed guy, asking permission.
"I'll wait you at the cafeteria in five minutes." Lelouch told her, as if answering her silent question. Ten he left the classroom.
The next minute was a numbing silence. Then Suzaku broke it.
"I saw it on the television yesterday. How come you were my girlfriend last week then the next you were engaged with a Britannian Prince?"
She used all her strength to refrain herself from crying.
"I'm sorry"
"I thought you liked me." His voice was full of accusations. How come he could never get angry with this girl.
Kallen's eyes remained fixed with her desk. Guilt was written all over her face.
"It was an arranged marriage that I cannot say no. my family is in deep debt with the royal family that our remaining assets won't be enough to settle it. Then the emperor talked to my father about it last month and bargained him about the marriage. He instantly said yes. It was his dream to become a part of the royal family. When he discussed it with me last week, l cried in front of him and told him about us. But he won't listen. When I calmed down, he told me about our financial situation and felt guilty. You know my mother situation, and I can sacrifice myself for her full recovery."
Suzaku listened to her very carefully. He did not even say a single word. She then continues,
"When Lelouch and I talked yesterday in the engagement party, he told me that he was the one who suggested the arrangement to his father. And he was so happy when his father agreed with him. I cannot complain with his treatment with me. He was a perfect gentleman. But if you want the truth, I'd still prefer you ten times over him. It's just that we were not meant to be."
Then her phone rang. It was Lelouch. Reminding her that he was still waiting for her in the cafeteria.
'I have to go. I've told you everything about the engagement. He's waiting for me."
She was about to get out the room when he pulled her to his arms.
"Please stay still, for the last time." He pleaded.
After a few moments, he let her go. She knows it is goodbye. Then she went out of the room. Knowing it also means getting out of his life, his heart, his love.
