Finally Eros arrived at his apartment doorstep. His men have also been on guard and make sure Aster has not come out at all from his apartment. He took a slow breath trying to calm himself. Her heart raced faster than usual, she steadied herself to meet her lover.
Eros opened the door of the apartment, not long before he saw the woman he was waiting for. The woman was right in front of him. His world and heart belong only to Asterhea Evadne. Eros attracts her woman in her embrace, a touch she has long missed.
Unstoppable drops of tears revealed themselves. Be a witness to how he tries hard to maintain his love, convincing himself many times that his love will return to his embrace.
Eros loosened his embrace, then stared fixedly at the face of his beautiful lover. The two Netra meet each other, describing the many wounds and longings that they both have been silent for so long.
Eros saw Aster who did not change much, his face was still as beautiful as before but his face looked lethargic and tired. Eros rubbed softly the tears that nourished in her pretty eyes. Then landed a kiss on the corner of her beautiful face.
Aster was crying again but this time it sounded so painful, Eros re-entered his love as if it would reduce the pain he suffered. Aster sobbed and expressed the pain he had been suffering all this while hitting the chest of Eros field slowly.
Eros heart broke back into pieces seeing and hearing her beautiful cry and it was because of her. He caused sorrow and tears to his beloved. The thing Eros always didn't want to do was hurt Aster. But this time it was the main cause.
...***...
After Aster calms down, Eros invites Aster to sit on the sofa. Aster agreed but he did not want to let go of Eros' hand. It was as if Eros would run away from her if she were to let go of her.
Aster looks silent, but his gaze does not even stop staring at Eros. So does Eros who does not want to stop staring at Aster. Both were silent for quite a while. Until the end of his life Eros opened his voice.
"Although my heart was broken many times, even though at some point I hated you so much, even though all the suffering I felt over the past few years the cause was you. But I don't feel entitled to turn you on" he said.
Eros felt very guilty to Aster, "However I promised to remember you. But I remember you for so long. Very long, even if it's not my will. You have the right to light me. I'm sorry," he said.
Eros took off their arms and held Aster's hands together, "I'm a jerk, but thank you for coming back to me again. So if you'd like please let me pay for all the wasted time. Let me who is your pain be the cure for those wounds. Let me atone for all my sins by continuing to be and love you for the rest of my breath. Allow me to fight against the fate that has been outlined if it means separation, allow me this lacking human to promise you happiness" Eros said.
"If you allow me will you be my life companion? And let me be happy with you?" continued.
Aster was touched to hear that, although impressed suddenly. But after years apart Aster understands Eros must not want to lose him. And vice versa.
Aster nodded slowly, then hit Eros in the chest, "Why did it take so long to listen to you propose to me? Plus this is the least romantic proposal" he said, then acted as if angry at Eros.
Eros smiled, then re-captured his universe, "I'm sorry for making you wait, and forgive this unromantic guy. I'm gonna propose to you right, so wait a little bit more okay?" said it.
They smiled at each other, hugged each other and told me a lot of things. Simple things that they have long craved. This time they both hoped that this simple happiness would last for a little while.
