But it was neither a dream, nor an illusion, nor a hallucination. It was real. HansH is here on Nami Island. He hugged me and said he missed me.
Wh why? Why could he behave this way towards me instead of being angry at me? Did he not read my letter? No. gabe. That's not possible.
"I hope your time and solitude don't make you forget me" HansH said softly in the ear. "I hope you're still feeling the same way. There's still me in your heart, Zia."
Zia's? Then HansH read my letter? But why is he still acting the same? Why doesn't he hate me or be angry? Oh, my God, I'm not just hallucinating.
I'm shaking. I was thinking of staying in place, to make sure everything. But...
No. gabe. No, Zia. You should go. You and HansH are impossible together.
Just when the thought of resisting came to mind, I tried to remove HansH's hand from my body, but to no avail. Both HansH's hands were too tightly coiled around my waist. I stiffened. Oh my...
"That's enough" HansH said, then he took his hand off me, intending to twist my body to face him
It was then that I tried again to take the opportunity to run, to hide, to avoid HansH, but again failed. It was a waste, because HansH quickly pulled my body, so I realized I was in his arms again. My tears flowed, no matter when, all I know right now is that I can't fight but give up in his arms.
"Don't go again. Had enough. I've given you a long time. I won't give you any more time. Not much longer. Please, please give us a chance for our relationship. Please... I beg you?"
I'm back to shaking. Still I tried to push rough HansH's body while asking him to let go of me. No matter the disappointment on the man's face.
"I don't care how hard you try to get away from me" HansH said, his voice hoarse, and I realized tears welled up in his eyelids. "I'm not letting you go. If necessary I will force you to be with me. You hear that, if you don't fulfill my request, I'll force you. I'll force."
Alright. There's no point in me fighting back. I can't be too rude. I can no longer hurt HansH, let alone intentionally.
I surrendered. I nodded my head until HansH loosened his embrace, turning to hold my hand.
"Have you read my letter?"
"Yes." Yeah." HansH nodded.
"Then?"
Oh, my heart anxiously awaits the answer. Although HansH had held me so tightly and clearly did not want to let me out of his life, I was still so afraid of facing this situation. But...
"Nothing to discuss."
Huh huh? Practically my forehead shriveled. I can't, I thought. What does it mean not to be discussed? That's not possible. This should be discussed.
"Don't you not read my letter yet?"
"It."
"Then why-"
"I forgive everything. I understand and I understand. Everything that happened wasn't your fault. Sanjeev is in charge of everything. But, that's enough, don't discuss the past anymore. Because I can't live without you, and besides, the good news is, Sanjeev is willing to forgive me. He's willing to have a fraternal relationship with me."
Oh? I was wide-eyed, shocked, but also happy. Terribly happy. "You're serious?"
"Yes, Honey. I'm serious."
"Oh my God, thank goodness. I'm so happy."
"thank you. But it's not enough. I need you to come back, to perfect my happiness. No matter which identity, I want you to always be with me. Please, huh?"
Oh my God, I shook my head. "I. I mean my mistake...."
"Shhh.. don't talk about the past anymore. Would please? Whatever, don't talk about it again. Hmm?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Although I'm not Alisah-"
"Shhh...." HansH clenched my mouth with his fingers. "Don't talk about it again, please?"
I nodded, and I was very relieved. I'm grateful because that means I no longer keep lies to HansH.
"But only me and Aunt Heera know about it. No one else knows and I hope you're still willing to keep this a secret."
Hearing the request, for a moment my forehead shriveled, but then I understood even before HansH explained the reason.
"Please, I don't want anyone to hate you for the past. Especially Sheveni. I don't want him to hate you more. You got it, right? I don't want any more chaos in our family."
I'm nodding. "I understand" I said. "What does that mean... You want... I...?"
"As before. We live as we always do, like there's no problem other than the kidnapping. You're willing, right? Let everyone keep calling you Alisah, please?"
Me... can I? Keep living as Alisah, is that fair to me? But...
"Darling, I don't want any more trouble. I don't want my family to accept your presence before, so hate you if they find out about you helping Sanjeev's revenge. I don't want them to be against our relationship, because you know I can't choose to be with or let go of who's between you and my family. Please understand my position, please?"
Hansh's right. If the rest of the HansH family knew, they might not be able to accept me, would even hate me. Let alone Sheveni, his hatred will be even greater to me.
"Please?"
I'm nodding. Besides I've said that I'm willing to be Alisah for this man I love so much.
"Darling?"
"Yes. I get it."
"We're back to how we were?"
Blissfully. I didn't say yes. My smile was already the answer to HansH, he smiled crisply and re-embraced myself into the arms.
"Thank you" he whispered softly in my ear, then he let go of a hug. "I know, there's a lot we need to talk about. But then, it's time we enjoy this beautiful island."
Sure was!
"Hey...!" amanda's voice rippled among the whirring of the wind. I practically turned to her who was holding both hands on Aliando's body. "You guys done talking? Come on, let's ride bikes like Joon Sang and Yu Jin."
HansH rolled his eyes. "He's Nandini's friend. And that's his girlfriend, who's also my friend."
Oh my...
I looked at HansH, Amanda, and Aliando. I shakes in disbelief. "So you knew where I was from the beginning?"
"Your own fault. You never change the wallpaper on your phone. So it's not my fault that Amanda recognized my picture and she asked about you to Nandini."
Hmm. it turns out so.
"You are my soul mate, no matter how far you go from me, you will come back to me. If you don't want to, then I will force you. You're mine forever."
Forever ever!
