I Love You, Goodbye!

‘I love you so much, Almir. You mean so much to me. But, we can’t be together, says Dayana. She looked at him with tears overflowing her eyes. She gently grabbed the hands of Almir. As she was about to speak again, Almir touched her mumbling lips and said, ‘It’s alright Dayana. You need not to say anything. Though it’s hard to admit that I’m going to lose you forever. I have to be brave and to be tough. Thank you for loving me.’ Almir stopped talking for the meantime. Catching his breath and was totally stuttering as he was about to say his next line. Dayana looked at him with her eyes as if talking not to lose him anymore. But, silence was onced again broken as Almir started talking.

‘Dayana, what happened to us?….You’re right! It’s all…over. Between the two of us. ‘Almir stooped down and turned his back. He’s now leaving the girl who showed the real meaning of love. He walked away yet his heart was still shouting for why. His heart was still battling for this reality. Dayana was left crying. The weather had spoken to her feeling of sadness when the rain poured bringing the coldness of sorrow touching her body with every beat of the rainwater. But as if her tears overflowed more than the pouring rain coupled with roaring thunder and the flash of lightning. Neither could this rain washed her aching feeling nor drove away her sobbing soul by the thunder. She felt the swirling of the wind tossing her hair to and fro that she did realize that the rain was over. Yet, her drooping feeling was still there experiencing the deepest agony.

It started there…an aching agony of melancholy.

‘Hey, are you alright? Are you crying?’ a man asked coming from nowhere, it was Almir.

‘Are you blind? What I’m doing? Could you just bring your ass off me and mind your own business!’ Dayana irritatingly answered to the man. Almir was a bit surprised of the behaviour showed to him. He was just a concerned citizen. Yet, she didn’t bother at all. ‘Hey miss, I’m very sorry but it’s a bit late in the evening and the rain gets harder and harder.’ explained Almir.

‘’Who cares? Nobody cares at all! Just nobody cares!’ Dayana cried. ‘Please, miss…listen to me. I just can’t leave you here bathing in the rain. Let’s talk if you needed someone to talk with. I’ll be willing to listen to you.’ Almir requested politely. Dayana calmed down. She breathed deeply and stood looking at him. She felt at eased. She never spoke a word. She went with Almir. She couldn’t explain her  feelings. Why did she go with a man she met for the first time. As she was about to realize that she’s meeting a stranger, Almir looked at her with eyes pouring with so much kindness. He smiled at her nicely. ‘Kindly take your seat, Miss.’ he said. Dayana gazed around. She realized she was inside a coffee shop with the man she didn’t know.

‘You’re…”I’m Dayan Crue’ she answered. Thanks a lot. I should have not bothered you. I am terribly sorry if I included you in my mess.’ she explained.

‘Not at all, Miss Crue. Anybody who could see you in that situation would give a hand.’ said Almir ‘Just call me Dayana. And how shall I call my hero?’ Dayana grabbed a smile and threw to Almir.

‘Oh, I’m Almir Kashmud.’ He replied gently. A moment of silence intervened in a little time. Almir didn’t insist to ask why Dayana was crying. Dayana spoke about her break up with her boyfriend. A sad story that she came to know that she’d been fooled by her lover who had an affair with another girl. What surprised her more than that was that the girl was her younger sister. The pain was still there. Every second was trying for her. Almir just listened to her. Yet his mind was thinking how could he help the lady get rid of the pain.

Finally Almir spoke, ‘Grab the coffee it would feel you better.’ ‘Thanks, Almir. But I have to go. Dayana left the coffee shop. She unintentionally dropped her hanky. Almir picked it and gave it to Dayana but it was too late. She had taken a taxi already. He would probably never see the lady who carved a history of his life. He kept the hanky where he noticed a name printed on its side. A little sign of hope of seeing her again. On the other hand,  Almir went on his life. He worked and dated some girls.

One night, at a bar where he was having fun with his friends, Almir looked at a corner of the bar. He saw a familiar lady sitting alone enjoying the love music being played. Almir got closer. What a surprised! It was Dayana. Almir immediately took the hanky from his jean pocket. He slowly handed it down to her. Dayana was a bit surprised. ‘So it’s you again, Almir?’ Dayana started the talk. ‘Hahaha! What a small world, Dayana. I can’t forget your sweet name. Almir replied happily. It was long night for them. They couldn’t explain their feelings as if they had known each other for a long time. ‘I like you, Dayana. Since the first time I saw you, you have never disappeared from my memory. I had waited for this day to meet you again. Maybe, this is a God-given day for me.’  Almir said.  Dayana spoke nothing.

She just stared the glowing eyes of Almir. She felt the sincerity of Almir. She could not resist getting drawn towards Almir. ‘Why am I feeling this way? I think…. Is it love pouring in me again? She thought of herself.  The night was filled with so much romance. That very night began a true love for Dayana and Almir. Moreover, days, months passed by. Their love for each other got stronger and stronger. It was a genuine love they found. Everyday had been a gift of love for them.

‘Almir, wake up! I have a surprised for you!’ Your Aunt Lara is here! She’s my sister I was telling that I had never seen for a long time. She’s here with her lovely daughter!’ Almir’s mom excitedly told the news. Almir went down eagerly to see his relatives. ‘Almir meet your Aunt Lara and your cousin Dayana!’ his mother introduced. Almir just couldn’t open his mouth. Dayana was also in total shock. A moment they never thought to happen. They were cousins! A sad reality of their story of love! A love story which shall remain a thought to remember….Love, How can I forgive you?…..
