Hey guys!
Well, incase you missed my ridiculously bad stories, I'm back with one! and if you didnt, well you'll get bored :).. and i just loved the comments on my last two fics and for that: here's a big HUG for you.. now this is not exactly a fic; more like a letter. hope you have fun anyways --->>
Dear Ashi,
I am writing to you for the last time. After I finish this letter, I'm going away; far, far away. To a happy place, remember? ..almost like the one which we always talked about. There is so sadness, so death, no heartbreak, and no kind of pain. But before I go there; I just want to say this to you, Ashi, I forgive you. I really do. All that happened between us is now all in the past, I hold no regrets for what happened, what you had done showed me a new way to live; it showed me a way to discover myself in a way I never thought I would.. yes I felt pain and sadness, but I forgive you.
Maybe it was fate that introduced us. Do you remember how carefree and heartless you used to be? And how you threw my guitar into the water? I was so angry at you, I almost wanted to curse you into oblivion. Weren't those good old days? Our bet, and our getting back together, and everything we did after that. I want you to know, Ashi, that I do not regret any of it. I don't regret any part of our relationship.
You see, life is a funny thing. It takes you so near the thing or person you most want, only to take you far far away from them. It's rather amusing, I always thought. You know, Ashi, life doesn't give us many opportunities. When it does, you should always take it, and grasp it so hard that nothing will tear you apart. You know, Ashi, that day the incident happened, I could see my whole life breaking in front of me.. and I couldn't do nothing. I could see my future being shred into pieces in front of my eyes, and I tried so hard to catch it, but it slipped. I spent days and years trying to piece the puzzle of my life back, I tried so hard to find the dignity that I had once lost, and I never found a shred of it. Three years; three years of my life were snatched away from me, and I went through a faade, a happy and smiling faade, hoping to God, that someone someday will be able to look through it.
I hated God at that time, did you know that? The kind God, who had always fulfilled my wishes had turned my back upon me. But slowly I understood..what happened it was all for the best. You know why? Because at the end of the day, you don't have to answer to me, your husband, and not even your God. You have to answer to yourself; and I finally the ounce of strength which made me do that.
Ashi, I'm getting married tomorrow. I want the three years of my life back Ashi, and I think that will all happen starting tomorrow. You know this woman, she's incredible. She did see through my faade, and when I would start crying bitterly at night holding my pillow or my grandfather's picture, she let me cry. And when my tears dried, she told me I looked like a risen star. I spent night crying silently to myself, and I spent years trying to desperately piece my damn life back together. Everything was going down, but you know something, before going to sleep at the end of the day yesterday, I looked at myself in the mirror; and I was shocked at the change. I was happy, Ashi! The old sparkle had returned to my eyes, and I was actually smiling. And when I saw my girl beside me, I saw the genuine happiness on my face. And I knew that she was the one.
And at this point, if one drop, one drop of tear had fell onto this paper, don't be ashamed, Ashi. Looks like somewhere in the corner you had a heart all along. You just did a very good job hiding it. And today I finally have the answer to your question, you know that?
You lost your happiness because you held it much too hard, and you needed someone to blame.
And now, I'm going away from your life never to come back again. I just have one last request; find the strength somewhere in yourself to wish me and my wife a happy life. It's a request, just like everything between us has ever been. And I promise you, I will never ever bother you again. Just like you asked.
Yours truly.
