Accident ...

He then released me from his firm hold and said " Good bye .. Elina .." saying he turned and left .

Steven's Pov

I entered Elina's room and waited for her to come. Today when I saw my dad and her mom taking vows and promising each other for long life togetherness I don't know why I felt a strong urge of having my own family. I'm 28 year old man .. in my early thirties. I think it's the perfect time to get married and have kids .

I bring out the small velvet box from my pocket and opened it . a beautiful diamond ring was inside . I brought the ring 2 years ago . I wanted to give it to her that time but things did not unfolded well and we separated . I never imagined one day I'll be in a situation again to give this to her . Yes today I'm gonna proposed her for life long togetherness . I want forever with her .

I was admiring the ring when suddenly it fall from my hand on the floor . I stoop down to pick it up . After I find it I again placed it in the box carefully and keep the box in my pocket again . I was about to get up when I saw an envelope under bed . I took it out and then stand up . When I was going to put it on the bed again I saw it was the same envelope I saw yesterday . out of curiosity I opened the letter and read the content . After reading it I was shook .

It's so ironic that here I'm planning to propose her for marriage and she is planning to leave me again. one part of me tried to believe that may be she didn't mean it but the fact that she didn't shared it with me .. it made everything more painful for me to digest .

When I charged her ..she lied that she didn't knew about it ..... she fuc*king lied . I hate this fact . If she really loves me why didn't she decided to tell me the truth ? Shouldn't couple share every little thing with each other ? now I doubt if she ever loved me !

In anger I was about to tell her that I was planning to propose her tonight but I controlled . I can't loose my self respect anymore !!

Now I'm driving to the bar. Only drinks can soothe the burning pain in my heart ...

Why Elina why ?

why you have to leave me again ?

am I that unwanted in your life that you can easily forget my love ?

Elina's Pov

After he released me and left ..I fall on the floor and clured myself in a ball . I was in a shock.. My heart was hollow and empty . My mind was blank .. Then I recalled his words " Good By Elina " and then a drop of water rolled down my eyes ..and after a second I started crying heavily . I hold my dress in a fist and cried..and cried....and cried. No matter how much I cried the pain in my heart didn't eased at all .. it become more strong and I cried more loudly .

I don't know how long I cried .. but it was a good 2 hours . in this 2 hours I cried and stopped then again started crying .. then again stopped ..and it carried in a cycle . When my tears was at a bay and I was able to stop crying ..I stand up and walked inside the room . I stand in front of the mirror and saw my swollen eyes . I was a sight to see .. my eyes were red and my make up was smeared . My lips was swollen too and there was a sharp pain in the corner of my lips . I touched on my lips and felt his lips there . And again tears rolled down from my eyes ..

I entered the bathroom and washed my face with water . I removed my make-up . I then came back to my room and changed myself into a comfortable clothes . After I changed I get into the bed and lied there . Tears we're still falling but I wasn't sobbing like before . Then I heard some noise in my door and after few seconds I hear my mom calling me ... but I didn't replied . After few minutes she left and I sighed ..

As I was crying for a long time I was tired so I closed my eyes and soon fall asleep .

•••••••••••••••••

Next morning I woke up with swollen eyes .. it was already past 8 . I was wondering why mom didn't wake me up . Then I thought about Steven did he returned last night ? After freshing up I came downstairs and saw the dining area was empty .

" where is mom ?"

" Mom ..." I called out her name but I didn't get any response .. then I headed towards the dining table and saw there was a note . I took the note and started reading ..

" *Elina ,

I called you at your door a lot but probably you fall asleep early .. I also went to Steven's room and he wasn't there too . Why both of you left the party so early ?

Anyway David gave me a surprise he planned a trip to Switzerland for us .. yes I was as shocked as you are right now probably . The flight is tonight at 10:00 pm so we are leaving . I'm sorry I couldn't informed you personally .. I'm in a hurry .. bye love you . Take care* :) "

After I read the note I realized why my mom didn't came to wake me up today . So she left for her honeymoon last night . I think she probably landed there already now . Good for her .

I then went to Steven's room to saw if he returned last night . we need to talk .. what did he mean by " good bye ? "

I checked his room and saw his room was empty .. I sighed

Where is he ? where did he spent last night ?

I again returned to my room . I sat on my bed and decided to call Steven . i saw my phone and find it switched off .. My phone was probably dead last night . I put it into the charger and then opened it. I opened the call log and saw there were 15 missed calls from Steven's and 5 missed calls from unknown number . all the calls were around 4:30 am of morning .

F*ck ! he called me last night ? and I couldn't received . I called him back immediately . the phone ringed 4 times and then a girl picked it up and My Heart dropped with assumptions ..

" Hello where is Steven ? " I asked directly .

" are you miss Elina speaking ? " someone asked ..

" um .. yes ."

" I called you so many times .. your ph was unreachable . The person belongs to this phone got into a big accident last night. and ----- ."

" what ?! " I didn't hear what she said after .. my mind was blank ..

Hi 💖

I really hope and pray you all are doing well and have mental peace . I don't know what is happening with this world .. 💔

I believe many of you know that the popular Manga " Mr. Darcy Next door " stopped it's updation . I'm so sad getting this news . This is my only favorite manga in this app but unfortunately it stopped . I felt like crying when I read about it .. this should not have happen 🥺. I'm so upset that I stopped reading all other mangas too .. I never find myself so connected with any mangas before . I even loosed my motivation of coming here and writing stories anymore .. sigh !

Please stay kind and spread love and kindness with everyone no matter what 💖. Sending you all live and strength 💙 .
