The screaming and shouting in the arena wasn't enough to distract me and bring me out of the zone I was in. As I stood next to him, I couldn't help but notice how incredibly handsome he still was. His head was bald just like his father. He stood tall like him as well, towering over me slightly. I wondered if he'd shave his children's head like his but I didn't have any say in the situation nor was it my business. It was hers. Pema.
I admit I had acted immature years ago when I tried to have her arrested. But who could blame me? The man I looked up to, was destined to be together with, was taken away from. Swept up right from in front of me. Yes we were slowly drifting apart but all couples go through some sort of stage where they are like that right?
We grew up together. We were meant for each other. His father and my mother fought along side each other for years. It was written in the stars and planned by the spirits.
I wasn't even watching the match anymore. I was barely aware of my surroundings. As I promised, I was there to protect the people of Republic City and Korra as well but I should have known I wouldn't be able to even focus with the man standing next to me being who he was.
He seemed to pay no attention to me but I knew the old flame from years ago were still burning somewhere deep inside him. Feelings don't just wash away like that. Past my hard exterior, was a tender women with feeling and emotions that I attempted to keep to myself. My feelings for Tenzin certainly were still there. But I also harbored the feeling of anger. Like I said before, who could blame me? I was still mad but It was obvious that I also still loved him.
If my mother was alive, even being blind, she would've been able to see that.
