CHAPTER 103: The Final Chapter

~Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet~

I wanted to start over completely, to begin again as new people with nothing of the past left over. But I don't think that will be possible if I accept Ameenu, for he will always be a reminder of my past

Indeed, Ahmad and his family are a museum of things that remind me of the worst time of my life. Each time I remember them, regret panged within me.

Perhaps I had got it all wrong, perhaps no new love could mend what an old love had torn apart, that passion was an unstable force and perhaps my life did not have to be a constant state of flux.

I realize that I cannot relive my life skipping the awful parts of the past without losing what made it worthwhile. I had to accept it as a whole, like the world, or the person I love

I made one last effort to search in my heart for the place where my affection for Ameenu had rotted away, and I could not find it. I guess, For that one person in life, we all break our rules.

Ameenu came into my life like the mistral breeze. He showered me with love and care, He splashed me with smiles and laughs. Slowly and silently, he healed me of my pain

With him in my life I felt like I could conquer anything. It was as if I was on top of the world and even the stars themselves were just within my grasp.

He makes me feel like I am invincible. His kind and loving presence strengthen me down to my very core. I finally know what heaven on earth feels like. For with him, I am the best I could be.

He is my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of him I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our relationship

He gave love a new meaning, a new definition, it felt like home, like magic, like the best feeling in the world

His soul is made of light. Pure light, one can almost see through him because of his transparency.

Wild fires blaze within his soul,
there's where all his passion rises from. His world moved too fast and burned too bright, or maybe I just lost my balance.

I really like Ameenu. When I said it's him I liked, I was talking about that part of him that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of him that allows him to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.

I was buried in my thoughts when I got a message from him. It was only a message, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.

I read it quickly, and it wasn't hard to figure that he needs an audience.

I chose not to be trapped in my yesterdays, in the memory of a tragic love, a past pitiful existence, or a dreadful married life. But to live only for a better tomorrow.

I quickly offered to meet without hesitation. Over the past few days that we had not been talking, I have to confess that it felt like hell. I couldn't wait to meet him, to hear him out, to mend what had been broken

The days went by quickly and the day of our second meeting arrived. I set out for the venue a bit earlier

And just like that, there he was, the man I had fallen in love with, warm, playful, honest, handsome, hot and beautifully radiantly eternal
