Stop At You

Ep.22

Nadine blinked her eyes slowly, trying to neutralize the feeling of dizziness in her head that was very. His eyes traced every corner of the white room. A foreign room with a luxurious interior design that may cost tens of millions.

The pace sounded closer towards Nadine, making the girl fixated on one corner of the door. Shortly after the door moved, a tall strapping person appeared dressed in a neat black suit with expensive shiny shoes.

Degs..Degs..Degs..

Nadine's heart raced faster, her gaze clashing against the man's eagle eyes. Nadine's lips were blocked, her tongue was unable to take out a word. The man approached, continuing to step towards him.

Grep..

A hug clutches tightly onto Nadine's tiny body, the longer it gets tighter, if left for longer it will most likely make her short of breath.

"I miss you baby, I miss you so much." Mumbled the man who was reluctant to take off his grip.

"You miss me too, don't you? Still love me, right?". Connect again.

Nadine was still stiff in her position, she felt she was dreaming. Where could the man in his past have come again, he had already left, even married another woman.

"Darling, why silence? Is anyone sick?". Ask the man worried. Taking off his arms for a moment and cupping Nadine's cheeks.

"Ka..You are! I must have been dreaming." Nadine tried to deny reality.

He pinched his arm a few times, trying to wake up from a real dream was the real thing. Zayn has returned, the man is now right in front of his eyes.

After realizing that this is real. Nadine immediately pushed Zayn's body, trying to get away from the reach of the handsome man.

"Why Nad? What's up?". Zayn's question didn't understand.

"Don't be like this, you're married Zayn. I've decided to let go and forget about you anyway. My feelings have been gone since you left and married another woman." Obviously Nadine.

"I did it out of compulsion, I wasn't able to fight them at the time. But now, don't worry, I'll divorce her soon and marry you, we can be the same again Nad." Said Zayn gently, trying to convince and win Nadine's heart back.

"Whatever the reason, we can't be together anymore. Our path is different Zayn, be happy with him. Because I let go of my first love, and let go of you."

Nadine poured all the burdens on her heart. Yes, for these five years he has struggled to forget and bury deep in his past with Zayn. For him, Zayn was the first and most beautiful love, though now they are separated. Nadine remains happy, at least she was once loved and a part of the man's life.

"Don't!! I won't let you do it, Nad, even if you let me go, but I'll never let you go. I love you so much, whether it's the past, the present, or the future, I'm just gonna love you." Said Zayn stick with his stance.

"Enough Zayn!! Please please. Don't be selfish! These five years I tried so hard to forget you, I always convinced myself not to hope anymore, after all that struggle I finally could be who I am now. Live alone and happy. So please forget about me too, your wife would be very sad if you knew you were still expecting me."

It never occurred to Nadine that this man would come and love her as he is now. Nadine was no longer able to hold back her tears, loved sorrow, bitter sweetness, every piece of memory was back spinning in her head.

His heart is back in pain, he has to be consistent with his choices. His stance should not falter just because of Zayn's sweet speech. Because even if they get back together, the Zayn family will still strongly oppose the relationship. And Nadine is the one who will be harmed, it is likely that the oppression five years ago will return, maybe even worse.
