Susan couldn't believe her eyes. Was there really Peter she knew, her best friend that she trusted and her boyfriend that she loved? And now, when she needed her logic the most it didn't help her. She only standing there watching the scene and couldn't do anything not even screamed, her brain was too shocked to respond. She felt her face was wet, she barely aware that she was crying.
"Peter-"finally she found her voice back
"Susan-"Peter glance at her finally aware that she was there "look, it's not like what you see."
"Then what was that?" Susan asked him angrily "I can't trust you anymore"
Susan left and began to cry, harder. She walked with tears around her face, she didn't care what people think when they saw her; she just wanted to be alone and went home. When she got her mind back, she realized she didn't know where to go.
Rachel and Jeremy were shocked when they saw Susan came out running and crying. Helen and James tried to catch her, worried about her. They didn't want to interrupt them, so they came to Peter's apartment when they finally understand what made Susan cried.
Peter was sitting on the couch with a girl beside him. They were guessing whatever Peter and the girl did, it hurt Susan. When Peter saw them coming, he sent the girl home.
"I thought you love Susan." Rachel said after a long uncomfortable silence
"I do." Peter said, it was almost like a whisper
"then, why you make her cry?" She asked him
"trust me mom, I don't want to make her cry. I love her, it's just-"Peter stopped "I need to tell her everything."
"Susan!" Susan heard someone calling her name, when she turned around she saw her parents
"Susan what happen?" her mother asked her with a worry look on her face
"I don't want to talk about it." Susan said "can we go home today? Back to England?" she asked her parents hopefully, she really needed to be far away from him.
"I guess we can try to order the tickets" James answered hesitantly
"thanks" Susan forced a smile, she hope she could go home today
Rachel's phone was ringing when Peter was asking his parents where Susan's family and his parents would spend the nights. He heard his mother saying something about leaving today, he started to worry if that person was Susan.
"who's that?" Peter asked her mother
"Helen" She answered
"they'll leaving today, won't they?" Rachel nodded
"can we go to England too?" Peter asked them again
"well, I'm afraid that's the last flight."
He couldn't sleep that night, his mind kept playing this afternoon scene. He hated himself for making Susan cried. He couldn't wait until the sun rose; he needed to meet her as soon as possible but fate said something else.
He woke up when he saw the sun was shining brightly, he couldn't remember that he fell a slept. But he needed to get ready so he could meet Susan today, he needed to explain everything. When he finished his shower, his parents were waiting for him with their suitcases. They would came back to England today with their son.
"it's an unforgettable vacation, isn't it?" Jeremy tried to lighten the mood
"Yeah it is. I won't forget the look on Susan face." Peter answered bitterly
"just look at the bright side. You won't do the same mistake again, will you?" Peter nodded
"good, now come on. We don't want to miss the flight."
It was 8 p.m. when Susan heard someone throw a pebble into her windows. When she saw who that was, she closed the windows angrily. Right now, he was the last person she wanted to see.
"Susan please, let me explain everything." Peter pleaded
"Go away! I don't want to see you." Susan shouted
"okay, I'll wait until you want to see me and listen to me" Susan frowned, what did it means?
She woke up in the morning and did her usual habit. Usually she opened her windows and inhaled the morning air and then she would enjoy the morning view. But today was different story, it wasn't like her usual morning. She was heartbroken, she didn't has a sprit like usual. And today she also found the different view. She saw a young man with light brown hair was sitting in front of her house. Quickly, she came downstairs and approached that young man.
"what are you doing, peter?" she hissed at him
"well, I told you I'll wait until you want to see me and listen at my explanation." He answered her
"well it doesn't matter. Even I listen to your explanation I can't trust you anymore." She answered him darkly
"at least let me try." Peter pleaded
Susan didn't answer anything. She kept shut her mouth, she can't trust him anymore, she didn't want to. And she was scared if she let him explain everything, she would let her walls down.
"go on." Susan finally said after battling with her logic, her heart won.
"She came to my apartment, crying. I think she was drunk and honestly Su, I didn't know what to do. she kept bubbling about love. She said that no one love her, even her parents. They got divorce and she still couldn't accept it. She said she loves me and she needed me to kiss her. it will be the first and the last for her. I said I would agree with her if she promises she won't bothering me. You know Su, she was bothering for 6 months. And she agreed with me, and you know the rest of them. I know that's a lame reason but Susan please forgive me." Peter pleaded
"how can I trust you?" Susan asked him in almost inaudible voice
"I can't tell you how but please believe me." Once again Peter pleaded. Susan never saw him pleaded like that before.
"I'll forgive you, but promise me you won't do that again. It hurts." Susan said as Peter pulled her into a hug.
"I promise" Peter said with a relieved smile.
A few years had gone and come around. Susan was doing well with her study at oxford, not like the previous graduation, Peter came at her graduation at oxford. That day Susan couldn't stop smiling and told everyone how happy she was.
Today Peter asked her to go to the favourite park, she saw Peter was nervous when he asked her. Susan didn't know if that was a good or bad sign, but she decided to come.
They were watching the stars when suddenly Peter looked at her lovingly and got down on one knee, he proposed her.
"Susan, will you marry me?" he asked her as he pulled the golden ring
"yes I will, oh Peter" Susan said as she pulled him into a hug, Peter slid the golden ring into Susan finger.
Today was the biggest day for both Peter and Susan. In the few minutes they would be a husband and wife. Peter was standing at the end of the aisle waiting for his bride. He observed the room and he saw her mother and Susan's was crying. And when the music started to play, there she was walked down the aisle with her father beside her; everyone in the room was amazed by her beauty. She was wearing a long white gown that looked very elegant for her, her hair was swept up into a half-braided twist made her more beautiful. She held white tulips flower in her hand. And finally after the preacher announced them as a husband and wife they sighed in relieved. They would have a new life and they would pass that together
"the end" she says, smiling
"are they real? Is that your story?" I ask her hesitantly I mean it's really possible right? She smile at my question, but before she can answer my question, someone is ringing the bell. I wonder who it was.
When Susan opens the door, I see a man with light brown hair smile at Susan and kiss her on the cheek. You know what, first time I saw him, it was like I saw a story character. Or am I really meet a story character?
"Ed, Lu, this is Peter, my husband." Susan introduce him
"so, that story is really your story?" I ask he excitedly
"yes." She smile
Oh my, her story is really beautiful. I hope I can have a similar story with her, then I glance to Edmund and realize that Susan and I have a similar situation. Peter was Susan best friend when she was my age. Well, you know Edmund and I, we are best friend. And that's make me wonder will my story like her story?
So that's it. I hope you enjoy it. Please tell me what you think about this story from the start till the end. Your suggestion will help me to improve my writing skill for the next story. So, see you in my next story
