Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 63 - GoodBye.

Hearing Xie Rong's words, Xinyi smile devilishly. She thought, ' Xie Ming, you just wait. What you have given me, I'll give you 10 folds of that. Let me see, how could you still stand high in front of your father's wrath.'

In front of her father, she nodded, still sobbing. Xie Rong wiped her daughter's tears away and said dotingly, " Xinyi, now stop crying and eat something then take a rest. You must be tired. Don't worry. Dad will take care of everything. Now just relax."

Xie Rouxi also nodded on her husband's words. Xinyi smiled at both of them and went to her room to freshen up. She has done her deal, now she needs to dress beautifully to meet Liwei later.

...

In the car

After leaving the office, Liwei and Ming sat in their car on the way to their house. Ming was looking out of the window and Liwei was working on his laptop. When he looked at her, he saw her dozed off at the window. He chuckled.

'How could she still sleep when she had taken her nap in the office'. He looked at her. She was looking so beautiful, that he couldn't control himself. Her cheeks were rosy red and her lips were shaped in a pout which he wanted to kiss so much.

He placed his laptop on the side, then stretched his hand and pulled her towards him. Then he placed her head on his shoulders. She adjusted herself to sleep comfortably. He smiled at her.

Ming was sleeping peacefully. But after a while, she started frowning. Liwei can't understand what kind of dream she is dreaming of.

.....

She was in a dream. In that dream, she saw a girl, who was on the large bed. And that girl is Zhao Ming.

'She was in the palace, in her chamber'. She was looking at her, who was laying on the bed, lifeless, pale face. Her maid, ' Li Shi' whom she treated her as a friend, was crying beside her bed. And doctors were checking her pulse.

'He... He was also there. Looking at 'me', at Zhao Ming, who was laying on the bed. His eyes do not contain the usual hatred but his eyes have gentleness and love, which she had never seen in his eyes.' She went near to him, but he cannot see her. She was in front of him but she was just like air to him. A tear dropped from her eyes, she might hate him now, but there was a time when he was her life. She always wanted him to see her with love and gentleness. But when she decided to let go of everything, his eyes were showing gentleness towards her.

She looked at him with teary eyes and asked, " Why? Why are you looking at me like this. I died while waiting for you. Why didn't you came when I needed you the most. Why didn't you trust me?" she asked while crying. She was looking at him but he was looking at the girl who was laying on the bed in front of him.

She was crying and sobbing, but he can't hear her. Then he moved towards the pale Zhao Ming and sat beside her. He held her hand in his hands. He slowly said looking at Zhao Ming, " Wake up Ming. See your Cheng is here to see you. I am sorry Ming, for not believing you. For leaving you behind, in the palace. I am sorry for taking your smile away." As he said, tears rolled down from his eyes. The imperial Doctor silently left the room.

Seeing him like this in front of her, her heartaches. This was the first time he called her so intimately. She was wondering, why didn't he came earlier." I would have, forget everything, if... If you have came earlier." As she said this, tears rolled down from her eyes. Her hands turned into fists. Her whole body was shivering. It was so painful to see your loved ones crying in front of you and you cannot do anything. You cannot show your presence even if you want to.

" Cheng, if you had come earlier, I would have been by your side. But you lost your chance. You hurt me when I was beside you." Pain was evident in her eyes. She doesn't know, what she should do. On the other side of the world, Liwei was waiting for her and here he was in front of her. She doesn't know if she could trust him again or not.

She was confused.

At that time, she heard a voice, calling her name. "Ming, Ming. Wake up. Ming" hearing the deep voice, she knows that who is he.

She looked at him for the last time and muttered, " I think that it was not in our fate to stay together. I think my love for you, was not enough to make you love me back. Now when you're finally here, I have to go. Let's just blame the fates that had to play a game on us."

"Goodbye Cheng. I just want you to be happy, but please don't forget me. Otherwise, all the efforts that I've given to you, will be wasted. My death will become futile. At least remember, that there was a girl, named Zhao Ming who loved you crazily and sacrificed her life for you. At least I deserve that much respect from you. " she said while looking at him as she tried to control her tears.

After being transmigrated to the modern world, she never thought that she will ever come to her past life. And would see him, holding her hands. This was the thing, that she desired the most for her whole life, it was his love. But now she has changed, she has left all her depressing memories and her love that had given her immense pain. It was the main cause of her death. He was the reason, she lived in Palace but he never came to her.

She sighed.

She again heard the voice, calling her "Ming, Ming".

She went towards the voice and saw a light coming from the door. She went towards the door and crossed it when she crossed it, the piercing bright light met her eyes, making her close her eyes.

....

When she opened her eyes, she met his deep eyes, which were looking at him with a worried expression, which were looking at her. As she looked at him, tears rolled down from her eyes. She was looking at him with hurt and longing expression. Confusion was written all over her face.
