AN EVERLASTING UNION

By DeIt AvEs

CHAPTER 1

Beautiful. Tall, with slim figure. Now a fully grown woman with straight blond hair running just before her waist. Indeed, Hitomi has grown even smarter. Yes, the word 'smart' perfectly fits this woman for she has let her mind rule her emotions over the years. She knew she no longer is the once girl full of undisturbed strength. She left the athletics club as soon as she went to college. And not so long after receiving her diploma, she finally established her mom a now successful business in Tokyo. And as both beautiful and bright woman unusual in her age, there surely is a plenty of suitors who've taken chances with her – all with good qualities to choose from. Handsome. Intelligent. Well-respected with good fortune to offer. Of course, she let her doors open for these men but even if they enter the doors to her heart, there is nothing to be found inside. Only a nonexistent heart dwells inside her body.

When she left him, she also left the finest of her emotions, of her love, together with Van… and the saddest part, she has never been able to regain up to now.

I ensured myself that everything would be alright, that my life would go back the way it was. I tried to convince my heart that it would be capable of loving again. I had to get used to the feeling, knowing you're there with me though not by my side. But soon afterwards, an aching feeling began to emerge in my heart and with each day passing, it only becomes more and more unbearable.

Constant thoughts.

Intense feeling.

Sought presence.

Endless visions.

She no longer knows what she is. She feels hopelessly lost.

I miss him badly…

And she wondered so many times, how long can we forge this false fate? His sacrifice – sending her back home, was it all for her? He chose to let her go in spite of the great longing in his heart. He gave up what he knew he could have had at that moment.

Yes, it was really for me.

like how she gave up her heart for him, yielding to a great irony of life.
