Can Broken Hearts Mend?

Angelica's Point Of View
After 12 long years, I could not believe I lost Tyler. He never came back and never cared to call me. It shut me out from the social world and made me scared to love again. But then, my fiance came along, Kelly the man that brought me out of my shell 🐚, the one I would love to spend the rest of my life with. We were getting married in a fortnight and it was all over the news. I loved him-or so I forced myself to think-but I knew I loved Tyler more and would always love him. But I had no choice, l had to move on.
Tyler's Point Of View
I could not believe my eyes. I stared at in shock at my phone: "Angelica Richardson and Kelly Reginalds to get married in a fortnight". I was shocked beyond words. My own Angelica my my life was ready to be given to someone else.
      Over those years, I worked very hard to improve my life and my family status and my hard work paid off. I was a very established young man and was quite comfortable. But deep down in my heart, I knew there was a void no one could ever feel. I still loved her- Angelica.
         I decided to tell her this as soon as possible and I prepared to travel down to Creole.

Angelica's point of view
        My secretary Kate  walked in and said:"Ma'am, there is a young man by the name Tyler Harrison waiting outside to see you.
         "Tyler Harrison?!  Is that really Tyler? I motioned her to leave and I got up, I adjusted my dress and walkedout of my office to meet the alleged young man.
Tyler's point of view
I saw the door knob turn and walked out my dazzling angel 👼.   As pretty as ever, but more woman-like. She froze when she saw me. I could not help but shed tears and ran to embrace her. We both let  our feelings out and cried like babies. She invited me into her office and told her to secretary to cancel all her appointments for the day.
          In her office, we talked at length and I apologize for leaving. She told me all that happened and I could not help but cry. I blame myself for everything and asked her for a chance to prove my love for her. She gave me the invitation to her wedding and showed her engagement ring. She then told me that I was a week late. Which means, she was engaged last week!!! I cried bitterly and she did too but she told me to move on as she had already done so. I nodded my head and promised to be there whenever she needed my love. I promise to love her till the end of my life and then I didn't see that surprise even myself.  I kissed her.
Angelica's Point Of View
Tyler was very sorry for all that happened and I also apologized for that night that changed our lives. But then he did something......he kissed me. I could not imagine even in my wildest dreams that Tyler could come back and steal my first kiss💏. I smiled and kissed him back but he pulled back almost immediately. He picked up the invitation card I gave him and left.
Tyler's Point Of View
When I felt her smile and kiss back, I knew I had to leave. She could not be now be mine so I pull  out immediately, picked up  the invitation card and left.
          I just wanted to see her one last time at her wedding  and then I would leave for good.

             Angelica's Point Of View
As I walked down the aisle, I could I could not help but wish that the man standing there was Tyler . But if wishes were horses, even I would ride. It was nothing about Kelly when I got to him, he smiled at me and I knew he loved me.  I just had to love him back. And that is what I decided to do- love Kelly back and forget Tyler.
      After the words of advice from the scriptures, it was time for the vows.... "Repeat after me" the priest said to my husband. "I Kelly Reginalds, take you Angelica Richardson...... My husband repeated after him and soon finished his vows and slipped his ring into my finger. It was my turn now. I looked for my husband to the crowd and I saw Tyler also my husband attire with a rose 🌹 in his hand smiling at me. A tear slid down my cheek. Immediately I turned to look at my husband and said my vows. "I now announce to Mr and Mrs Kelly Reginalds. "You may now kiss the bride". My husband lifted my veil and kissed me.  I smiled at him and when we turned to face the crowd and enjoy the ovation, Tyler had disappeared. I was shocked but I had to compose myself. I shed the last tear and finally said the last goodbye to him.

     Tyler's Point Of View
After I heard her say her vows, I knew I had to leave before I did something stupid. She seemed happy and that is how I want her to always be. I dropped the rose 🌹 into a river below and decided to end it all.
         The End.

My lovelies🥰 not every story end like Cinderella but before you die of heart attack, Tyler did not end his life ooo. He just decided to end his love for Angelica but unfortunately, he never loved again.
