He's a type of man who never smile, a man with a beautiful hand and a man of fortune.
His picture in my mind doesn’t let me sleep at night. A tall man with fair skin, his wavy hair that makes him look so arrogant, the coat and tie that shows his status in the society, his thick eyebrows that add to his manly look and his brown eyes that shows how tired he is.
It all started when I met him in coffee shop where he used to have the most expensive coffee, the most luscious slice of a cake and holding the most famous magazine in town.
That was the 19th day of March, 5 years ago. I was craving for my favorite cappuccino while on my way home so I decided to drop by to Coffee Match, my favorite cafe. It went straight to the counter and ordered for a cup. I saw the wall clock and it was 5:21 in the afternoon. I just found a vacant spot at the left corner of the cafe. I sit there as I watch the sun set with the red orange colored ray spilled out in the light blue sky. It was a lovely site that made me imagine myself standing at the rooftop of a very high building watching the sun setting down as if it was so close to my eyes. Then suddenly I saw a man sitting in front of me, holding a book written by a famous writer with also a cup of coffee in front of mine. He looked so familiar; I was thinking where I saw him. The book, the coffee, the suit and the hands, it was him! The man setting at the left corner of the cafe, as soon as I realized it, I immediately stand and ask for apology. But to my surprise he put down the book and asked me to stay.
That afternoon was so magical, the sun set, the coffee, the man sitting in front of me and myself standing at the other side of the table. It was the first time we had coffee and we had the 2nd time, the 3rd, 4th and until I wasn't able to count the times we had coffee in that table.
We started a formal relationship by asking me out on a date where he took me on the rooftop of a very high building which he owned. It’s where we watched the sunset exactly the same time when he asked me to stay with him in his cafe. We had a happy and unusual relationship. We brought changes in each other. I taught him my simple ways of living and he gave me things that I never had in my life. We went biking, eating street food, cooking lunch during weekends, going to market and going to church. He used to surprise me every morning cooking breakfast for me. He made me dressed like a queen, took me out on a date that every girl will dream of. There were times that I feel how big our difference is but he makes sure that we worked out on our differences. It’s been almost 5 years of happiness and sharing my life with him but our fairytale ended up so soon. Faith had been so playful to us.
Now I’m sitting on the left corner of the cafe where we used to talk about funny stuffs and seeing him laugh. I remember the night when I gave him the letter I wrote to say goodbye.
My love,
" ...........I’m sorry for doing this. We had beautiful times together. You made my life complete. Thank you for everything you've done to make me happy. I always wish for your success and happiness. Stay with your wife and make good memories together as what we have done for the past 5 years. I will always love you and pray for you.
Love,
Ria
That was the most painful decision I’ve ever made but I have to do it. Tears keep falling from eyes and my feet wanted to run towards the door to go back to him, hug him and tell him how much I love him but i have to stop myself. The moments we spend will remain and lessons we learn will teach us how to be strong. Loving is doing the right thing.
Now I found myself dreaming and staring at may plane tickets as finish the last drop of my cappuccino. Its 10:43 in morning and I have to catch up with my flight. I hope that everything will turn up well for me and him.
