The Birth Of The Angel
Gathering

"Eros?" lirih.

Aster read Eros messages one by one, his eyes glazed over as he read the message. Eros remembered it. Without a second thought Aster rushed to go see Eros. But she stopped her steps, what if Eros forgot her again? He would not be able to get back up if he had to get hurt.

Although it was not Eros' fault, but somehow he felt like he was betrayed. If he returns with Eros, is there any guarantee that he will be happy and unharmed again?

Aster who had been spirited to undo his intention to meet Eros, he chose to relax himself and keep thinking.

A few minutes passed, Aster remembered those words again. "Run your life well then you'll be happy"

Aye! He should live his life as it is. Maybe Eros is the answer to his happiness. However it is not Eros' fault to forget about it. And his happiness was already waiting in front of him, Aster should not hinder that happiness. She should welcome her happiness with open arms and a smile.

Aster got up and came back optimistic, he convinced himself. If this time he won't be hurt again by loving Eros back. This was the happiness he had been waiting for.

Aster rushed out of his apartment, but just as he was about to open the door. The guy showed up.

Eros came to him, the man immediately threw a hug at Aster. Aster felt very emotional, the touch he missed, the body he was waiting for was now in his arms. Aster returned Eros' embrace tightly.

"I'm sorry for being so late, I'm sorry for being stupid for forgetting you and not trying to remember you. I'm sorry and thank you for coming back to me" said Eros emotionally.

Aster cried hearing that remark, that voice, the roar of his breath, the unreasonable heartbeat as he hugged her. Such a warm thing, the thing he was very much looking forward to. Don't wake Aster if it's just a dream.

Eros let go of his embrace, he stared fixedly at Aster's face, his universe was back. The departed soul had already returned and filled its body. Eros wiped the tears that came out from her pretty eyes.

"My party is back" said Eros, then hugged Aster. Aster smiled should, they hugged for a long time. Let go of the longing that has been buried for so long. Clenching tightly as if it would lose each other if it let go of that whip.

Sincere love has returned to find its home.

The Point of View (POV) Eros

(Eros point of view)

That day Eros spent exhausting days, staring at the never-dead monitor. He was tired of counting how long he waited. But she tried to be patient and persevere, just think of it as punishment for hurting her love.

Eros stared at the monitor that was heading towards Aster Apartment, he never forgot a day to look at the monitor. Her hope is that one day her love will come back and go home to her.

Eros always hoped that the day would come soon, and perhaps the day that Eros would finally come. The woman he always missed every time, finally appeared on that screen. He's back at his apartment.

Eros could not describe his feelings, he felt numb but implied happiness on his face. Without a second thought, he immediately got up to meet the lover he had been waiting for.

In a hurry he left his office, took the time to call his mail and make sure Aster would not go anywhere before he came. Eros spurred on his vehicle quickly and impatiently. Eventually the wait paid off.
