PERFECT BAIT
"Everything thing he said was a lie"
With few last words to her heart she left.
She left what she once thought was her life. The place she once considered her home. The person she once think will stay no matter what.
Her world falls but she still crawled in hope that someone is still beside her.
Till the truth revealed.
Ashton Grey, the person she know since they were kids and later decide to spend her life with.
He neva impose anything and always been patient with her. Well, now she knows why? Was that even patience?
She was lost in her pain when cab suddenly stopped. She asked what happened.
"Don't know. I need to check mam"
Minutes later cab driver inform her there's something wrong.
She paid him and decide to walk.
With every step, every word from last night start ringing in her mind.
From the moment his secretary stopped her to the moment he left her to cry in vain.
"Mel listen me"
"Get the hell out of here"
"Just listen me first, baby"
"don't you baby me"
"Never I want"
Mel slapped him hard on his cheek leaving a red mark.
"Fuck, I don't deserve this much"
"I hate you Ash. Why you did this to me?"
She's about to raise her hand once again when he stopped her in between.
"Listen you bitch, what you think of yourself? Do you even realise this is not what I wanted for my life?
I neva wanna marry you and thought you wish the same. Even your words and actions shows the same.
I still didn't figured out why you got sudden interest in marrying me. Do you want money?You always think about yourself. Isn't you? You are the reason I can't marry the love of my life."
"Why you agree to marry me? Why played nice if you hate me this much."
"Not marrying you means losing the company I work so hard for.
I don't know what magic you played on my family that they don't even heard me.
Instead of everything you caused I still thought to end it by mutual understanding but you want everything ready on your plate don't you.?"
Hell with you and by this Ash left Mel with her own sorrows and the things she never imagined she could hear.
He's right she neva wanna marry him but after that phone call she let her fate overtake her life.
6 months ago
(week before she agreed to marry Ash)
Love is undefined. It's a reason to live and reason die. Reason to fight and reason to lose. Reason for joy and reason to cry.
Mel's love was no different from this.
She fell hard for Kiyan. The only thing that make it different was it's a selfless love felt direct from heart; Without ever feeling each other's presence around.
Fate always played whenever
they plan to meet in person.
Sometimes even love need surety. Not all days are dark again not all are full of spark.
Kiyan is loosing control over his patience. He started doubting his love.
When one falls other become wise and rise for both of them. For their love.
Mel always try to make things work. Their relationship was not Normal, not weekend meetups, no dinner dates just texting, video calls and phone.
It's that fate has some other plans for their love.
Path to love was never easy. It's peace but war too.
Kian was so upset with the cancellation of their again planned date.
Not that Mel was satisfied.
This time she's tired of trying to make him understand.
Isn't it two way road. Then how can you expect one to travel both.
This time she needs some time. Again and again cancellation almost broke her. She started doubting are they even destined to be together.
Week later it's so much for her to take.
I feel my heart alive, when in your words my soul dive.
She called but Kiyan never answered. Two days later he called.
"Ki I missed you so much.
I can't stay away from you Ki. I don't know why fate always bait us. It hurts so bad to stay away"
Kian stay quite and didn't answered
"Ki say something please"
"Well looks like fate win"
"What you mean?"
"I am getting married"
I want stars but they are apart. . .I want you but seems like you are apart tho.
_❤_
She was walking lost in her thoughts when someone hits her more like she bumped into someone.
Both apologized.
Now she's waiting for her flight.
Wondering many stories starts from here and many ends. Isn't the same happening with her. Leaving all behind she once considered her, she's about to write new story. But nor she know about the characters not the plot.
Let's fate decide what she'll get next on plate.
It's time for her flight when someone hold her hand and pull her hard.
"How will you get on that flight?"
"Excuse me"
"You heard me"
"Mind to explain"
"Check your tickets"
"Oh"
"Neva I imagined our first meeting will be like this, hell I even lose the hope that we can ever see each other.
"I still had"
"If you can wait, we can have some coffee"
Well played fate. Well played.
"Sure"
Both missed their flights and having coffee in nearby cafe.
"How are you? Your wife?"
"She's no more"
"What? How?. . .I am sorry"
"Car accident, few months ago"
"Anyways, you were going somewhere? Hope Ashton is taking good care of you"
"He did"
"Nice, wait, what? Did?"
"We are not together"
"Since when?"
"Last night"
Both stay quite and later both were crying, hugging and kissing.
Seems like fate finally showed some mercy. Finally she knows it gonna be story of Kiyan and Meldamiriel;perfect baits.
It's life we are talking about
And it's always on knife.
