FIVE

In the name of Allah.

How much longer are you planning to leave me like this..

"Can you take any longer? Because I can't"

What do you mean, don't play with my feelings.

"NO, I need you back"

Enough said. He's come back, found his way back to her. "I need you" was all she needed to hear, she did not need to take a single moment to even think and decide what he's done before and all the pain he's caused. "I need you" was all it took. No, actually that particular phone call has made her heart get trembled enough to give in already. She rememberred telling herself that if he comes back after she's let her go, he's just meant to be with her. Now she's caught up between believing it's really true or it's just a perfect coincidence. And now, all the little pieces are trying to fit in back into the picture. Done gluing, it's still not the same as it was before. How could it ever be the same? He might have returned. But the part of her that he's taken away, the part of her that was so important and very much alive, was taken away forever. That part has died and gone. He stabbed that part of herself in the heart and he didn't even realize. "I don't love  you anymore, I'm tired of you". Those words when put together could be sharp enough to take her life away. But she's got him back and that was already the very best thing that could ever happen. She's never held on so tight ever since. There was one time he was holding her in his arms so tightly that she just fell apart for refusing to hug him back just as tight. She wanted to hold him so badly, never ever want to let him go ever again, but not wanting to repeat the same mistake, she stood there, crying in his arms. And that...was the only thing he's left her with before they both reached the diverging paths and went away from each other to pursue their future, yet still holding on to what they've shared long ago, the one thing that brought them their lives, that one thing that's been keeping them going, keeping them alive, that one thing they believed so much in; their love.
