Advice

A broken heart is painful. After all these years of feeling, everything has run aground. My beloved woman, whom I had been waiting for a long time, had now turned away. I know, everything I do is for her. However, the sense of cleansing in this chest, does not disappear.

I don't know when I started liking you. All I know is, it feels like a long time ago. You are beautiful, vibrant and look very graceful. I've never seen another woman as sweet as you. Sometimes, even though I tried to let you go, I heard your voice in my head. Calling my name. I turned my back, and I saw you smiling for me.

Ii'm sorry. I can't see your smile anymore. My heart and body are tired. The tightness that builds up in this chest, the more it torments me. I'm not strong anymore. I got up and stood here. I stretched out my hands and closed my eyes, so that I would not see a stream that looked so dark under my feet.

"The reset..."

I felt someone very strongly pull my arm. Pulling me back down by force. His eyes looked at me and showed deep disappointment.

"You're a fool for what you did that crazy thing!" said the foreign woman who thwarted my attempt to commit suicide.

"Why are you blocking me! I have already made my resolve. I don't even know you. Go then! don't bother me!"

"PEOPLE....!!" the foreign woman slapped me on the cheek without further ado.

"Based on a stupid man! You're a man, right? you should be looking for and trying to solve your problems. Instead of wanting to end your life this way," the woman's voice rattled and her face flushed red.

"A man cannot cry. You know, I'm back to losing the person I love. Why am I living my life again. Everyone I love has left me. First mom. And now my beloved woman has also left me for another man" my sob.

"You're right. Sometimes when we feel the burden of our lives feels very heavy, it feels like we want to end our lives. But that doesn't mean you can waste your life" said the stranger. He pulled my arm, forcing me to move away from where I intended to end my life

"Take me off, what are you going to do," I tried to take this woman's grip off. But I didn't think the energy was much stronger than I expected.

For a moment I could see her clear eyes. There was no fear or worry emanating from him. I don't know why, I think I've seen this woman.

"Sir Reyhan, you're a great man. Why just because of a trivial matter like this, you want to act stupid? Don't you think about the fate of your subordinates who still need your guidance" said the foreign woman, making me bow my head in shame.

This short wavy-haired foreign woman, made me aware. I am a stupid man. Who wants to end my precious life, just because of a broken heart.

"Remember Mr. Reyhan, a soul mate is a provision given by God. No matter how much you love her, if God says she's not your soul mate, then there's nothing else you can do. That's destiny." This woman patted me on the shoulder, trying to advise me.

"Thank you for helping me. You're right, I shouldn't be acting stupid like that" I said.

"Together" said the woman. Then I asked back.

"You know me?" I asked when she called me Reyhan.

"Yes, we met before when there was a company meeting" said the woman. Makes me try to remember her figure.

"I'm sorry sir, I have to go home now. I have to cook dinner." The foreign woman immediately stepped away, away from my sight.

"Wait a minute, at least tell me what your name is?" ask me before he gets away.

The foreigner smiled. "Auryna, call me Auryna." The foreign woman immediately disappeared behind the bushes illuminated by the moonlight.
