Sorry

“I’m very sorry, Dan. I’m so sorry. Actually, from the beginning, this heart has already belonged to someone else. I’m sorry I cant…..” Said Alea in a very low voice as sounded like a murmur. Her dazed face was trying to look for any object around to drop her gaze with a reason that, perhaps, she could prevent herself for crying.  Unfortunately, she failed.

            Daniel touched her face softly. He tried to lead Alea’s strain gaze to his shady eyes as he calmly said,

            “Who is he?”

            Alea was silent.

            “Who is he, Alea?” asked Daniel for the second time but Alea still kept in silence. Only for the third question, she finally answered.

            “Even me also realize that I may never really know him. And I don’t know where he is now either. It’s been a long time actually…”

            Daniel and Alea were friends for about 5 years. They used to do anything together. Now, in a lake they usually share their stuff, Daniel confessed her love to Alea.

            Without waiting Alea’s gloom being worst, Daniel grabbed and dunked Alea’s head into his arms. It was a very warm hug which always made Alea was always pleased to devote all of her colors. All colors except the pink because that was the color she had given to someone who made her unable to accept Daniel to be more than just a friend.

            “I do love you, Daniel. But it is not something like that… I just cant…please, Im sorry…” Her tears were falling down badly as she said those words.

            “Im sorry…just pretend that I never say this thing to you if it can make you better. If it means a lot to you… I..don’t wanna make us be different.” He said. His love for her was very important, but Alea was the most important.

            “Me neither.”
