Jessica’s POV

 

            I wiped the tears that flowing down uncontrollably through my rosy cheeks. The pain I’ve been deal with, for the past one year getting stronger each time his image flashed inside my mind –out of my own pretention, though. I miss him –I miss his smile, his laugh, his smell, his touch, I miss everything about him. This loneliness was killing me softly –like a disease, it grew on me like a cancer.

            Nobody knows about my miserable past, as I’m great at hiding it from everyone’s eyes. The amount of tears I’ve wasted every single night –it was out from everyone’s sight. I was broken at the state of dying due to the invisible wound inside my heart. I cried my heart out yet it didn’t seem to get any better. There was nothing I could do, except for keep it for myself.

            I was tired, mentally and physically –I’m sick of everything. I wanted to get rid of the thought of him, yet it ended failed miserably. The amount of load I’ve been carried was so out of my capability. I need somebody –somebody to set me free from my misery. I was so lost –I was nearly of my breaking point.

            Of all people, why it should be me?

            I couldn’t let myself hurting even more yet I have no strength to fight back. I know this was useless, and nothing for my best, neither. But I was so desperate –I wanted to see him so badly, though I know it would only make my wound getting deeper. Seeing him smile warms my heart even if I know I’m not the reason behind of it. It was okay, as long as I could see him happy –even if it wasn’t with me. Sometimes, you have to sacrifices a little for your loved one’s good right?

            His presence was the only cure.

            I caught him smile towards the one I used to know, Kim Hyuna. The girl looked so over the moon, when he linked his arms around her. I tried to compose myself, preventing the tears to stream down again. I guess it was time for me to go –I didn’t want him to find out about my presence. To tell the truth, I’ve been stalking him for a month. I broke my promises, but at least he didn’t see me –much to my longing.

 

Luhan’s POV

 

            I felt at ease today as I have never felt before –perhaps it was because of the nice weather. I always loved spring, the only season when the garden and flowers at its best. I liked seeing those colorful roses blossom, or the smells of jasmine spread around the garden. It was somehow gave me some peacefulness –something I crave these past few months.

            I didn’t know whether it was only a piece of my dreams or not. But I thought I was like losing something –I wanted to know what is it, yet the images weren’t clear enough for me. Everything seemed so blurry –much to my disappointment.

            All I could remember was the moment I opened my eyes after I got myself into a car accident. It didn’t hurt me much physically, but doctor said I’ve lost the memories of mine. It didn’t affect me, since my mother assured that I’ll gain my memories back by the times. At that time, I could only nod and listen to her explanation about me and my past. That was when I met a woman, I didn’t recognize her well –my mother said she was my fiancé, Kim Hyuna.

            She was always been with me, she helped me through the check ups and somehow I feel sorry for her to mistreat her. She was kind, caring, and very loving girl –perhaps it was something that finally lead me into her embrace. Still, I haven’t even felt anything for her unless for this sympathetic feeling. It was like she wasn’t the image of woman I’ve saw on my dreams. But yeah, I was still happy of her being so caring despite me forgetting about her.

            I linked my arms around her –a smile crept out from her face. I needed to pay back for her kindness right? And now I did. She rested her head on my shoulder, as we sat on the park bench –It was my new routine. I inhaled my breath, trying to grab much air for my lungs. The sounds of chirping birds echoed –I smiled.

            Just when I’m about to shut my eyes, I heard a familiar noises inside my head –the voice was quite similar though I’m not certain enough. I turned my gaze everywhere and found a girl on her early twenty fell down to the ground. Looked like she was hurting so bad –I roamed my sight yet there was no one to help her. I stood up immediately.

            “ Where are you going? “ Hyuna asked me. She pursued her lips indicating some disappointment. Her hands refused to loosen up from mines.

            “ There’s a injured girl right there, I need to help her… I’ll be here soon… “ I withdrew her arms. This girl needs to be less clingy next time.

            “ You can’t, okay? Let her help herself alone, don’t bother…”

            I shook my head, before let my back facing her and began to fasten my steps into the source of my apprehension. I had no idea how in the world can I heard her voice with such a distant.

            After a few minutes walking, I saw a girl –she held her knees, tried to deal with her pain. She didn’t seem aware with my presence though. I squatted down on her level, and she saw me immediately –her eyes grew bigger as if she was just met a ghost. I was astounding, when her eyes went straight into mines. Her eyes –there was something about her eyes. It was gleaming and captivating as I gaped my mouth down.

            For a brief moment, we exchanged glances like a fool. I saw her image –she was beautiful and something about her excited me. I didn’t know if it was love at first sight but I felt my heart pumped faster than its usual rate. Her deep blonde hair flowed down like a river, her weak and fragile expression lust for a caring touch from a guy. I wanted to protect her just by seeing her puppy eyes. Her soft and rosy cheeks, I wanted to caress it tenderly.

            She diverted her gaze immediately. Her motion went rigid, like something would happen anytime soon. I couldn’t help but frown at her reaction.

            “ I-I’m sorry, I just want to help you…” I hurriedly spoke up. I was afraid of her misunderstood me of being no manner.

            She tucked the strand of her hair behind her ears. It was such a simple movement yet I couldn’t help but feeling contented.

            “ I-It’s okay, I can help myself…” She stuttered, and began to stand up –though I could see it clearly she was just pretending to be okay.

            “ See? I-I’m okay, right? “

            I’m might no good at reading people –But even my insensitivity could easily see the pain expression on her face. She was just being too stubborn –I’ll be counting down until she gave up then.

            One

            Two

            Three

            “ Aaaah….” She dropped down. The guard she built went down the moment I heard a loud bang –due to her sudden movement.

            I reached her arms –she didn’t even flinch when I did. Her eyes closed due to the amount of pain she had. I saw her injured ankle –guess that she just sprained it unintentionally. I shook my head in amusement –this girl surely clumsy, how can she become so careless and end up being like this?

            She caught my sudden outbursts and I swore she gave me such a death glare. Wow, I didn’t know that was how you thank the person who tried to help you?

            “ I think we need to get your ankle treated or else it will getting worse…”

            She knitted her brows.

            “ I don’t want to… it will get better sooner or later…”

            I chuckled. She still dared to say those words despite herself being so painful. I carried her with my bare arms –I was glad she wasn’t weight much. I could sense the confusion all over her face.

            “ Yah! What are you doing? Put me down, now! “

            She was indeed a stubborn girl. She tried to hit me with her whole strength, so that I could finally put her body down. Too bad, I’m not that weak, though I didn’t visit gym regularly, I’m still a man after all.

            “ Yah! If you keep hitting me, then I will plump you down…” I snapped back. It worked –much to my relief then.

            And that was the first time I met her. I carried her to the nearest clinic while leaving my fiancé alone –I was a bit guilty for her but well, she was a strong woman. I figured out the name of the girl I’ve helped was Jessica, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. She was just a passerby and decided to take a rest on the park, unfortunately when she was about to left, she slipped herself –resulted an injured ankle of her.

            For most people, she might just another girl next door –she wasn’t that special yet I found her really interesting. The way her lashes flickered, it was captivating. I didn’t know why I found her special, as I tried my best to have those feeling toward my fiancé, yet it was always failed. With her I could let the guard down –something I couldn’t do when I was with Hyuna.

Jessica’s POV

            A smile crept across my face as I saw his figure came closer into my direction. He was always been the same guy I’ve known few years ago. The way he speak, he smile, he laugh, it didn’t even change even for a bit. Sometimes life could be so ridiculous, you know? The more I tried to runaway the closer I got myself trapped into.

            He smiled –the most charming smile I’ve ever seen.

            “ Here’s for you… I found this one when I was on the way here… I think it will look cute on you…” He handed me the pink headband –it was similar with one he gave me two years ago on our anniversary. I was flabbergasted –not knowing how to react just now. Did he by any chance gain his memories back?

 

            The painful memories flooded inside my head all of sudden. It was just like yesterday when I saw his body lied unconsciously on the ground. He didn’t even seem to budge when I shouting his name in horror. His blood dripping like a sweat and his face turned pale. If it wasn’t for me then he wouldn’t need to involve with such accident. I cried my self out –I was scared, I’m scared of him leaving me.

            I remembered tears never stop rolled down, as I brought him into the hospital. I saw his mother stare at me with such hatred. The moment he got into operation board, the last time I’m allowed to face him with my eyes.

            His mother dragged me and began to accuse me for being a mastermind of all those troubles –about his changed behavior and all.

            “ I want you to stop seeing my son! He doesn’t need a girl like you… You should be ashamed of yourself, if it wasn’t for you, then he didn’t have to suffer like this! “ She began to shouted at me. I didn’t dare to see her –she was so terrifying and intimidating. Her stare was enough to hurt me.

            I shook my head. I didn’t want to leave him –he needed me now.

            “ No, Aunty… I love him, I can’t stop seeing him, he’s my world…”

            I wasn’t fully aware when she took a step forward and slapped me across my cheeks. The pain of my slapped cheeks was nothing compared to the pain inside. I forced myself to face her this time –her chest went ups and downs due to the sudden urge.

            “ How much money do you need? I can give you right now as long as you promise me to stop seeing my son! “

            I bit my lower lips –my eyes got watery again. I messed and wasn’t on the right state of my mind.

            “ What makes you hate me that much, Aunty? “ I replied. My words began to tremble –it was too much for me.

            “ Don’t act innocent I know you are a bad girl, you only wants my son’s money, don’t you? You’re just use him because you know he love you! “

            I covered my mouth in disbelief. I have never had any intention to use him or something like that –I love him for the way he is. I don’t give a damn about his money, wealth –though I wasn’t born with silver spoon on my hand, I wasn’t that kind of girl. My mother raised me well and she never taught me so.

            Another minutes had passed with no better, I was on my lowest point of my life. The moment I stepped out from the hospital, I knew I should stop seeing him. It was for his good after all –I need to move on for him, for our love. But I never knew it could be that hard as I never once thinking about me getting separated with him. I wiped the remaining tears on my face as the wind brushed against me harshly. I may never see you again, Lu Han…

           

            “ Hey! Are you alright? You are spacing out again…” I startled when I felt a soft touch on my palms. He grinned –his playful face was only a few inch apart from mine. I hit him lightly as he began to laugh it off.

            “ Sica-ah, I want you to meet my parent… “ His eyes bore into mine. I got my eyes bulged out the moment he mention about his parent.

            “ I-I don’t know, Luhan… I don’t think so…” I withdrew my palms away from his grip. His brows furrowed in confusion.

            “ Why not? I want them to know you, Sica-ah… “ He keep insisted. Something about him that never change –stubborn.

            “ What about your fiancé Hyuna? I don’t want to cause a scene…” My mind began to looking for an excuse. You needed to think harder, Jessica!

            He held my hands while looking straight into my eyes. How could he still remember about my weakest spot? No –I wouldn’t let him fool me again this time.

            “ Hyuna and I are nothing, Sica-ah… She may be my fiancé, but I have never love her. I only had my heart for you –only you…”

            My lips began to tremble. Gosh! What do I do? I love him and I don’t want to grow apart with him ever again. It was fate that let us united –it was a sign from above.

            “ Please… For me? “ He pleaded again this time. He knew I will never say No when he sulking like that I didn’t know what had gotten into me when I suddenly nodded my head in approval. Great, Jessica you just fetch your own hell!

Luhan’s POV

 

            I swore I have never seen such a perfect creature standing before me –Well, this would be my first experience then. She was look so adorably gorgeous and beautiful. The black fitted dress she wore complimented her body well –It was so breathtaking. She glanced at me before took my hands and wrapped it around her.

            “ You look beautiful…”

            I caught her smiling in return.

            With such synchronize movement we began to walk inside the mansion. I held her hands as if I didn’t want to let her detached from me. She looked pretty nervous as she sighed for numerous times already. I chuckled –she always looked adorable for me.

            The moment we stepped in, I sensed three pairs of eyes were all on us. Jessica tightened her grip, while I squeeze them softly.

            “ Luhan, we’ve been waiting for- “ I heard my mother voice’s trailed off.

            I knew something wasn’t good, ever since I heard such a silent treatment. They had such a weird look on me –us. I didn’t know if they by any chance met Jessica before based on the reaction they had.

            Hyuna bulged out her eyes. She was somehow look like a monster ready to pounce on prey. She took a step forward approached us and within a minute, I heard a slapping sound coming from friction between her palms and Jessica’s cheek.

            “ Hyuna! What the hell are you doing? “ I shoved her arms angrily. She was just slap Jessica and it raising my anger inside. How could she do that to such an innocent girl?

            “ Luhan, stay away from her! She’s a bad girl, she just wants to use you…” Again –Hyuna spoke out her bull. She didn’t even know her, why would she judge her like that?

            I was about to fight back when my mother came into my direction. Her face didn’t look any better. She began to direct her anger into the girl on my embrace.

            “ You!!! I told you to stay away from my son, why did you come back? Don’t you know he’s having a fiancé already? “

            I frowned in bewilderment. Why do I feel like I had passed this situation before? My head began to hurt –it was really bad. I cried out in pain, as I tried to struggle with my own pang. I saw their images running wild around my head, Jessica, Hyuna, Mom, Dad –what the hell happened to me?

            I was about to shout when I heard a loud bang and that was when my sight went blank all of sudden.

 

Jessica’s POV

 

            “ Luhan! “ I rushed to catch his body –too bad he had hit the ground already before I had a chance to. Tears began to stream down my cheek –I didn’t want to lose him ever again, please, somebody help me.

            I shook his motionless body as tears kept escaping from my eyes. Please, don’t let anything bad happen to him, please. I would do anything to trade for his life –just don’t leave me Luhan.

            My sight went blurry but I knew for sure his hands started to move slowly. I held his hand, caressing it. I didn’t care about anybody’s presence –all I care was Luhan. I was afraid if he ever left me again –once was enough. I sunk my head low, my hair messed and so did my face.

            “ Jessica? “

            His voice broke my thought. I lifted my eyes facing his usual smiling face. It took me for a brief moment to get myself reacted.

            “ I remember everything... You, Hyuna… Everything! “

            I helped him to get up. It was kinda perplexing for me as I had nothing to do except for keeping myself in silent.

            “ Mom! Stop blaming Jessica, she isn’t like what she told! “ I saw Luhan pointed his index finger to the girl next to his mother. Hyuna looked miserable as ever, she shook her head in denial.

            “ What are you talking about, Luhan? “ Her mother retorted –much to his presumption.

            He laughed bitterly.

            “ Yah you! Stop manipulated things! It was you behind all this problems! Don’t act all innocent –I’m not going to buy it…”

            “ I didn’t! “ She snapped back.

            “ Stop it, Hyuna! It won’t go to work –you’d better say it now or else you’re going to regret it for the rest of your life! “ His voice was stern –I was never seen him become so mad.

            Hyuna bit her lips –her eyes got watery and I knew this was the time.

            “ Fine! I tell you –I’m the mastermind, I created such a bull story about her and told to your mother so that she began to hate her but I did that for you, Luhan… You deserve someone better and it’s me… I love you, Luhan, don’t you love me too? “

            His mother covered disbelief and without a warning she took a step closer and slapped Hyuna across her face. She was humiliated and it was all because of her.

            Hyuna ran away from his house with such a brokenhearted. She must been remorseful after all. I didn’t hate her –I just pity her, how could a beautiful girl like her doing such a things just for love’s sake?

            I startled when I felt Luhan grabbed me into his embrace. I missed being on his warm embrace –it was like I’m back to where I’m belongs to.

            She whispered softly on my ears, as my face blushed and turned into crimson red.

            “ I love you, Jessica! I swear I will never leave you, I’m not going to let you again, you are my life –my everything. “

Author’s POV

 

            The moon beam shone so brightly today –it was a full moon after all. She looked into her reflection by the mirror. She was nervous at the state of getting crazy because if it. She tried to compose herself yet I didn’t even affect. Did she make a right decision?

            “  Sica-ah…” A man called up for her name. The woman widened her eyes in surprise as though she was got used to it.

            “ Can I come in? “ The man’s voice got louder by the distance. She couldn’t just ran, she needed to face him. She gulped her saliva before grabbing the door knob with her bare hand.

            The man looked surprise upon seeing the beautiful creature he had known turned into a y and quite seductive lady. He could see her cheeks blushing.

            “ Gosh! I’ve been waiting for this day to come…” He blurted out.

            “ Yah! Stop staring at me! “ The woman hit his chest lightly after knowing about his erted mind.

            He shook his head, and with such a fast motion, he carried her on bridal style, and closed the door behind. Jessica covered her face –she was too ashamed to face him right now.

            “ Dearest bride, why are you ashamed for? “ He teased his beautiful bride.

            “ Stop it, Luhan! “ She giggled upon hearing his remark, still refused to meet his erted gaze.

            He stopped for a moment, just to take a better look on his bride. His smile never once faded from his face and now he was so contented.

            “ I love you Jessica…”

            Jessica closed her eyes the moment he planted his lips onto her. She was never felt any better than this –The happiness she long for, was now on her hand. Well, that’s life afterall, people throw rocks at things that shine but they can't take what's ours. The stakes are high, the water's rough but this love is ours.

"each trial in life is a lesson, and never the end; they teach us how faith is a bridge over troubled waters that gives us hope and not a dead end" -Owen Campbell Jr.
