14 Shades of Vicerylle

7th Shade

Peter sat on the grass while looking at the stars, so as Sandy. "Hey, we should lay down. I heard shooting stars came by this time of night." Said Peter. So they lay down together.

"Sandy, there's a shooting star. Make a wish." Said Peter while looking at Sandy.

Sandy closed her eyes and said; "I wish... I'll forget him. I wish someone will help me to move on."
Peter smiled and looked at Sandy. "No need to wish, Sandy. I'm here."

Sandy looked at Peter. "I just met you in the street."

"Yeah, we just met each other. But how about the people whom you knew for decades, did they helped you move on? It doesn't matter if you only met a person by a street, or a mall or whatever. The important is, they'll help with open arms and doesn't want anything in return. They just want to help. End of story."

Sandy smiled, "Okay, but please don't fall in love with me."

"Okay, your wish is my command." Peter looked at the sky.

And so, Sandy and Peter became friends. Peter is always there for Sandy. When Sandy felt like she wants to cry, Peter is there to catch her tears. Peter is there and he kept his promise to help Sandy to move on.

Then Suddenly...

Peter and Sandy went to a mall. They got hungry so they went to a restaurant to fill up their tummies.

Once they're picking their orders, someone called Sandy from another table.

It was Sandy's ex, Lester. Lester walked to Peter and Sandy's table. Sandy stood up because she saw Lester.
"Sandy." Said Lester.

"What are you doing here?" said Sandy, teary-eyed.

"I asked your sister where you're going. So I followed you." Lester said while holding Sandy's hand. Sandy looked at her hand that is being held by Lester.

Peter looked at Sandy, then Sandy looked at Peter... Sandy mouthed at Peter. "No... Peter..."

Peter stood up from his chair and fake a smile, "Sandy, I'll go ahead."

Sandy looked at Peter and mouthed, "Peter, no..."

Peter felt his water from his eyes, so immediately he said, "I'll go ahead. Take care."

And by that, Peter left... with a broken heart.

Little did Sandy know, Peter is already in love with her.

3 DAYS LATER

Sandy was surfing the internet when the doorbell rang.

She opened the door, revealing a mailman... "Ms. Sandy Tatlonghari?"

Sandy nodded, "Please sign this up so you can receive your mail." Said the mail man.

Sandy signed the paper. Once she's done signing it, the mail man gave the mail to her. "Have a good day, Ma'Am." Said the mail man.

Sandy closed her door and sat on her sofa, opening the Letter.

Dear Sandy,

Hi. :) I want to tell you this in person but I'm not strong enough to do it. So, I'll leave it here. I'm in love with you. I'm sorry if I broke my promise. It's just that, you deserve to be loved. It's not that hard falling in love with you, you know. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I left you 3 days ago. I was hurt. I know in your eyes, you'll get back with him, because you love him. I'm so dumb to think that you'll choose me that day. We were never together at the first place.

I hope you're happy with him. I hope you find the true meaning of love with him. I hope he'll never hurt you again. I hope you'll not cry yourself to sleep again. Because, it hurts me seeing you cry because of him. He doesn't deserve your tears. You're beautiful, you don't deserve to be hurt. You're a goddess. You're a masterpiece. Too bad I can't have you.

Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I'm okay. I will not showed up to you in the streets again. I promise. And this time, I will not break my promise.

Thank you for the 2 months of happiness, Sandy. You made me happy. That's something I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

I'll never comfort a broken heart again because I will be the one who'll get hurt in the end. I love you Sandy. We were destined to meet but we are not destined to be together. Thank you for everything.

So much love,
Peter.
