Past times
Ever since I saw Keith and Stella embrace each other and declare their love, our relationship was like never before. I don't know how to respond to all Keith's actions to me. I subconsciously stayed away from her, even though she used to see me often. But we never went out at night again because I always refused his invitation. He came back disappointed.
Today we took a walk in the park. I see flowers blooming. If I could still smell it would be very fragrant. My hand grabbed a rose that looked beautiful. My finger hit the spindles. I grimaced.
"Are you okay, Diana?" Keith immediately approached me looking at my agony.
I'm shaking. Even so he was still worried about seeing my bloody finger. And then I took me to my room. I sit on the side of the bed.
"Wait a minute, I'll treat you, Diana," she said anxiously.
I'm nodding. Keith immediately went out looking for drugs. Even if he doesn't love me, he's still being nice to me. She must have felt sorry for me like this.
Before long he came carrying cotton, plaster and medicine. He cleaned my wounds first and then put a wound healing medicine and plastered my injured finger. He doesn't have to do something like this. This was too much, he could hand it over to the waiter no need to treat it himself. This is what makes me unable to forget my love for her.
He scratched my injured finger. Then look me in the eye with a pus. I smiled at him. My hand was still held by him, so I could not write a word of thanks.
Keith's hand stroked my hair gently. He kissed my hair. Then stroked my cheek. I don't know why he's like this, but this concern makes me happy.
He laid me on the bed. His face is above me. His look made me feel overwhelmed. Our lips are close to each other. I closed my eyes slowly. Although this is just pretending at least I want to feel his affection. I could feel his breathing getting closer. We're gonna kiss.
Before that happened Keith stopped. I opened my eyes. He looked at me with anger. Then grit his teeth. "Damn."
He immediately went to slam the door hard. I was still in bed, trying to catch what was going on.
Even I did not look attractive in his eyes. I closed my eyes with my arms. My tears just keep flowing nonstop. It hurts, I want to forget it immediately. I can't make her fall in love with me. All futile.

After that it didn't come to see me for days. I wrote a letter to Eric to tell him all the pain I was feeling. I wanted to feel relieved and someone comforted me. However, there is no answer.
I'm angry at everyone. Why did everyone leave me? I have nothing wrong with them. Just because they can't smell and talk, they're like this. I just want to sacrifice for my better family, that's all.
Then came the third magic power transfer ritual. I was running it as excited as ever. I don't know what senses will be lost after this.
"I'm sorry, Diana, "my sister said as she picked up the glass containing my blood.
I nodded with a smile towards him. The only one who cares about me is my brother. This is all I can give her.
Waking up the next day. Dark view. I was sure I had opened my eyes, but there was no light at all. The view of my room that I used to see every day, now was just a black world.
Twice the magic transfer ritual. After that I could die peacefully.
I haven't gotten out of bed since. When I need something, I call the waiter by ringing the bell.
There were footsteps approaching me and sitting on a chair beside the bed.
"During the time we didn't meet, Diana."
I know that voice. It was Keith's voice. I didn't answer, I just fell down and leaned on the bed.
"I'm sorry I just came by now. After our last meeting that time, my mother was unconscious. I have to take care of him. I never thought he would die that soon three days ago. Yesterday was his funeral. I'm very busy so today can only meet you," he continued. He sounds very sad.
I wanted to say condolences but could not. I can't write on paper anymore. The only thing I could do was write in Keith's hand, but I didn't want to hold his hand anymore. It hurts me to know that she can't be mine.
"Our engagement is canceled, Diana. I'm sorry I can't see you anymore" he said.
I looked up at his voice. After not getting tired of this engagement and keep pretending he dumped me. My hatred was so high that I could no longer control myself.
"Diana?" Keith swung his arm in front of my eyes. He realized that I was blind now.
Brakes...
The wind magic I cast threw Keith against the wall. I used telekinesis magic to open the door and then get Keith out of my room. I lock it up immediately.
"I'm sorry, Diana. I didn't know that you had lost your sight" he shouted while banging on the door.
If you knew what was after that? Are you going to pretend to love me and love me until I die? I don't need your mercy.
"I'm really sorry, Diana," she said, but the door was not heard anymore.
I closed my ears not wanting to hear his words again. It was all just his ruse. I don't believe it.
My body curled up in bed while covering my ears. Suddenly a hand reached for my hand. I immediately cast another wind magic to blow this person away, but he did not move at all.
"It's me, Diana."
Apparently brother. I'm canceling wind magic.
"I know what happened to you and Keith. He's just using you, Diana. Your engagement is just a tool to get treatment for her mother. So I called off your engagement before he hurt you even more. She wanted to meet you one last time and I allowed her to say goodbye," my brother said worriedly.
Apparently so. Keith told me about the cancellation of our engagement because my brother told me. I held my brother's hand and wrote something.
'Thank you, Brother.'
"I'm sorry for misjudging Diana's people. I thought he was a good man" said my brother.
I nodded trying to calm him down. It's nobody's fault. Keith was kind, too good to hurt me for loving him. This unrequited love of mine I will try to forget. Even knowing this will be difficult.
