Part VIII
~ Estella~
My eyes met with his deep blue eyes as I spoke. They were as grave as I ever saw and it pierced my heart. If only there were other way… but I could not go with him, and he could not stay either. He must yield to the call of the sea or else he would suffer. He would loose his joy, and I could not bear it.
We sat quietly, not daring to stare into each other's eyes. I didn't know how I felt or how he felt. No one knew what to say or what to do, so we sat apart from each other, enjoying the nature.
The dusk settled in the west, shining golden rays through the trees. Birds went back to their nest chirping. Wind blew softly playing with our hair, whispering soft sweet sound as it gently quivered the branches and leaves. The fume of the flowers lingered in the air, reminding me of Lothlorien, my homeland. I looked around the forest in awe. It had been a while since I immersed in the beauty of Arda. How could I forget I, an Elf, born to love the beauty of nature? All my problems faded, I just sat there meditating and embracing the beauty surrounded me.
"You always get so preoccupied when you daydream. A swarm of Orcs might kill you before you realised you've been killed. " Legolas suddenly broke the silence, startling me. I almost fell from the tree again, but Legolas held my arms. He smirked at me, but his eyes still glowed with sadness.
"I am sorry. The beauty of the forrest enchants me. " I blushed in embarassment.
Legolas let out a giggle. " I remember you fell from this tree when we first met."
"Yes, stupid isn't it? Looks like I have lost my touch." I smiled again. I was relieved we stopped talking about marriage and back to our normal conversation.
~Legolas~
I didn't know if I should feel dissapointed at her rejection of my proposal. After all, I knew her answer before I asked. She would never leave Middle Earth to sail with me. She had her life here, and she was content with it. Romantic love wasn't everything, she always said. She had had broken heart more than once, all because she couldn't quit her work and be a wife, but she survived through them. I guessed one more broken heart wouldn't matter too much for her.
But it was for me. Never in my long life I fell in love like this. Her rejection sent a tidal wave of pain to my heart. I was willing to give everything to have her. Anything. Except her happiness. 'When you truly love someone, you will care of her well being more than your own. You will give anything to see her grow and unfold herself even in the process you must loose her. * ' Arwen's words echoed in my mind as I reasoned why I didn't feel like dying for broken hearted, instead I felt joy in my sorrow. Was that mean I love her trully? I smiled at the thought.
"Estella, why don't you just tell Glorfindel about your feeling? Maybe he'll quit chasing you." I spoke out my mind. I would help her out of this trouble for sure, as a friend would.
"I will try, but I don't know if it works. You know how the marriage thing in Middle Earth, don't you? Female has no right to speak."
"I believe Glorfindel is not such a person."
" I surely hope so."
I jumped from the tree and looked up "Lets go back, the night has fell already. I never see you join any Feast, so I insist that you go tonight and enjoy yourself. All the Hobbits will be there, and Gimli too. I bet he will be the next one proposing you. You have caught his heart being so alike Lady Galadriel. "
Estella smiled and jumped down from the tree. We both mounted Eryn since I didn't bring my horse with me. I sat behind her, smelling the sweet scent of her hair, feeling the warmth of her body. I took a deep breath. It would not be easy to let her go.
*this quotation I derived from Erich Fromm's definition of mature love.
So, how do you guys like this chapter? Don't worry about the story. It will have a great ending, though maybe not what u think. I am in the dark mood and wanted so much to see them suffer. What do u think? Haha. I am evil.
Pls review. Contructive criticsm is welcomed. You can also email me to send your review at hazelbunny@wildmail.com. I will love it very very much!!!.
