Love Starts Here - Prologue

Prologue



She stood before the old cathedral. Her eyes wandered around, as her mind tries to remember the first and last time she was here.

8 years?
6 years?

She could not remember how long.

But she could still remember the first time she came here. She ran around like a crazy woman. She sneaked in because she thought it was fun. But the silence of the empty cathedral was deafening her. She remembered the last time she was here as well. She walked out of that door with tears in her heart, and a heavy heart. And with all those times she entered this majestic structure, it only reminds her that those were the times she was with him.

She paused upon remembering him.

Him.

He was not the first man in her life. She have been with a few during her time. But he is definitely someone she will never forget – someone who will always have her heart. He will always be the man she have loved the most. She love her so much, that she would do everything for him. Everything, including letting him go in exchange for a brighter future he will have.

She knew she is not the right woman for him. She will never be the right woman for him. He was a perfect man, while she... she have a dark past. He have a bright future, while everything looks dim from her point of view. He came from the high society, while she is just a scum. She is a broken person, but what she will always be thankful for is that he loved her, and that love have mended her and made her whole again.

Her hands trembled as she reached for the knob. Slowly, she opened the door, and as the light entered the dark hallway of the cathedral, she found him standing by the altar. A tear fell from her eyes upon seeing him. She bit her lips as she slowly walked up to him. Her heart felt happy and scared at the same time. She doesn't know how he will react when he sees her again. Will he be mad like the last time? Will he blame her for ruining his life.

She made a decision to run away again. That's what she's good at anyways. She ran away from the reality that her life was a hell. She ran away at the time when she was hopelessly in love with him. She ran away because she knew she is just a burden for him. But every time she ran away from everything, she comes back to find that the thing she fears the most is still there. She turned her back, but then she felt someone stopping her. She looked back, and saw him. His pleading eyes looked straight into her. Unlike the last time, this time, it was filled with hope.

“You can't run away forever from me.” he said in a low but stern voice. “I will only hurt you again.” she said firmly. “Then why did you came back?” he questioned. “If you knew that you will hurt me, why do you have to come back? Do you know how long I've been praying for you to come back into my life? It doesn't matter if you hurt me so many times... because I love you. My life would be meaningless if you're not here...” he said.

She could clearly see the tear fall from his tender face. There was no anger, or hatred, unlike before. There is only hope that this time that she will stay. “Please...” he pleaded. His cracked voice made her heart flinch.

Will she stay, and let the love start?
Or will she go and end everything?
