"Where were you all my life?" I jokingly asked "Right across the sea, waiting for you. But you had to cross other oceans and go to other countries before coming to me" *** "You're a liar Haider. A fucking liar." I said through gritted teeth. The words felt like arsenic on my tongue, heavy and toxic, but they had to be said. " I thought you were a kind, patient man, but you made me realise that cruelty isn't just physical. To give someone hope only to snatch it away, is the cruelest thing anyone could do. And you did it to me Haider. And you know what the worst part is? It's that I believed you. I believed every single lie you told. I didn't hate you before, but I hate you now Haider Al Khoury. I fucking hate you" *** "I'm sorry I lied to you." He said from the other end of the line, voice heavy with emotions. "I'm sorry that I couldn't give you peace." "No...please...don't say these things..." I pleaded. But it was all in vain. "If I get another life, I promise I'll make it upto you. I'll give you everything in this world. You deserve the best. Don't ever think otherwise" "Please...I can't do this without you. I can't..." the words got stuck in my throat, clogged behind too many emotions. "You can. There's nothing in this world you can't do. And you don't need anyone. You are enough. You always have been enough. I only wish I had the time to show it to you myself" "You have...You can...please..." "I can't. Forgive me, but I have to go. There's no other way." "There is...there has to be." "No." he sighed, then spoke with steel in his voice, "I don't have much time left. Just let me say what I want to" I closed my eyes and asked as he did. "I love you. I have from the start." My voice shook, becoming a whisper when I replied, "So have I" *** Sarah and Haider are 2 people caught in a Game of Destiny.
