It was Saturday evening. The weather was very nice. The sun was shining with fresh airs after a litter raining. She came out the company for which she was working and took a deep breath. It was a long day since she had overworked continuing seven days. Tomorrow she could take a break and would have time to do some reading and writing.
There were five or six seagulls wondering above on the surface of the water, and many children were playing. The water was blinking colorful under the sun. Acrossed the fountain in the centre open park and being attracted by the wonderful scenery, she found the place and sat on the bench quietly and tried to think something interesting. She was very thin and tall with big eyes and deep dark circles around them. She worn a white skirt with white high-toe shoes, which made her face looked very pale, which was never being painted.
It was very tired and boring. If I have no boyfriend here, I will leave here earlier. But do I just live for a boyfriend? Actually, he had on holiday one month ago. Without you, the city (being called beautiful and lively city) became ugly and depressing. Come back to me, come back to me, I love you! You knew that, right? Actually, she did not know what he really feeling to her. Sometime she thought he loved her very much while sometime she doubted it. He never said “I love you!” to her, but she did not care about the expression. Reaction is more important than words.
Acrossed the noisy street, which filled with shops and peoples, she walked languidly. Anything around her looked like so boring and alien. Phd dissertation would be completed in the next semester. It was easy to do it; therefore the degree seemed lost the attraction. Seven years, we had been lived together seven years! She could not believe it! It was a long time! It could not be imagined before! Because she and her boyfriend never thought they could have lived together for such long time. Everything is unstable, especially the feelings. Both of them were believe in such concept that single happy life is better than married life, not only because it can keep personal freedom, selfishness and private secrecy, but also can keep the life filled with liveliness with fresh opinions.
She remembered that she should return a book to the library because there was someone who was on the waiting list. But she did need the book for the dissertation. She tried to print some of the pages out. Unfortunately, something was wrong with her computer. She could not access to the internet to the online library to find the book.
Just started his computer and opened the IE, she felt she was wrong. If being asked her never to do that, she would be happier than ever and the rest would not be happened. “I love you and I will be waiting for you each summer in Rome!” “Thanks for your help; I received the money for the rent!”” Thanks for your present, it is so lovely!” “Do you still DIY every day?” …….. The long date appeared too long, and she could not skip them. The woman is an Italian prostitute. He had told her they enjoyed in sex with each other. It was not a big deal. It seemed like drinking when you were thirsty; like telling an old story there was nothing to do with him. Yes, prostitute is not a big deal. He was so honest.
But this time she just shutted off the computer, and sat there for a long time. Her brain went to blank.
Keep a perfect image! She was hypocritical and she was telling a lie to herself. She knew this. Am I jealousy? Am I so strict with him? Am I finding faults to him? If I love him, I should accept him completely. But my feeling can not listen to me. Sorry, honey, I can accept all kinds of you, but I can accept myself, and my love can not be mixed with such things.
I escape from you just because I love you! You need not find me. It was not your fault. It was mine. Since I was very young, I dreamed I would have pure love, which would be live with each other harmony both in physical and mental, without complaining, without regretting and would be forever. Thank you! We had a good time since we lived together! I finished my Phd dissertation and published the novel. All of my dreams came true. Thank for your help! Don’t try to look for me! I want to tell you: you love me although you never speak out. Believe yourself! You will meet the one and will be married happily! I will leave the keys in the mailbox. Enjoy the life!
After one week, when he came home, he found lots of newspapers piled in front of the door. When he was still surprising, he found the letter on the desk after he opened the door.
He contacted one of her best friends and her professor. But both of them have no idea where she went. Since she submitted the dissertation, they thought maybe she spent holiday alone and prepare for creating her new novel. Now he thought he almost did not know any other friends around of her, because he said he was shy and he did not like to meet her friends and family. He even did not know her family member, only heard something from her talking unintentionally. She never told her and he never tried to know about it. She left quietly without any signs. All of the rooms was haunted her images. Sometime he could not sleep; sometime he waked up with tears. After a month, he received a call from one of her best friends. They met and talked more about her. She died in the hospital in her hometown. Her friend blamed him: she loved you more than loved herself. Her health was very poor, but she insisted on doing part-time job to pay back the money she borrowed. Many people persuaded her to marry a rich man to support her, but she refused. We all knew you did not love her, but she was waiting for marrying you. But you never thought about marrying her, right? She does not care about it, but her family cares about it. She had planned her death for a long time since she knew she got a cancer. Didn’t you notice any signs about this, stupid man? I do not know, why did she love such a stupid man as you?
A big surprise! He never thought a woman could love him like this. And he still could not understand her. Why not tell him the realities? He could have helped her. He thought she should lead a life according to her choice, not his pushing. He did like to respect her on everything. |
