A Moment in Destiny

After hearing what Esther had said, Elijah’s heart throbbed with pain. He lowered his head as he did not dare to look at her. As his car was parked at the side of the road, a faint sense of mockery could be seen through his clear sight. He actually did something stupid.

He actually did something so obvious, he actually let Esther see him hesitating and struggling. However, even though he still had feelings for her, they were about to be separated. This was the saddest part of all. However, how could he tell her, how could he ask her to wait for him for three years? Although three years was neither long nor short, it still contained more than a thousand days. For anyone, it will be a very lonely and long time.

“What is wrong with you?” Esther looked at him and asked once again.

Although Elijah’s mouth was opened, he eventually closed it without saying anything as his hands were clenched into fists.

He suddenly wanted to care about nothing and just embraced her thin figure. However, all the desires he had in his mind only made him let out a sigh. “Let's go home!”

He said he wanted to go back home, but he did not move!

His eyebrows were drawn together as he was feeling sorrow. The feeling of frustration could be felt in his heart which made him let out a bitter smile. His very pale face was filled with a mournful expression, covering his former glory. At the moment, he was like an ordinary man, suffering and hurting because of love.

“Since you don't want to say anything, I won't ask anymore!” Esther knew that this time, there was really something going on. Although she did not know exactly what was going on, she knew something happened. Otherwise, Elijah would not have such a tangled expression on his face.

“Esther!” He suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged her.

Esther was stunned and felt his body trembling.

“I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!” Elijah’s voice sounded very deep and full of helplessness as he silently looked at the moon. This night felt extraordinarily cold, even the moonlight looked so miserable. His eyes were no longer able to hide the grief he felt. He then let out a long sigh, “Forgive me for not being able to tell you!”

As he finally mustered up a smile, the feeling of bitterness surged into his heart. Although it felt painful as if something was gnawing at his heart, he still said those words. He originally wanted to leave without saying anything.

However, it will be so unfair to Esther!

What had happened to him? Otherwise, he would not speak to herself in that mournful tone. Through listening to that soft tone of his, it seemed he had endless sorrow and helplessness in his heart that he could talk about.

In the end, Esther did not ask anything.

Elijah hugged her for a while and let go. He then said, “Let's go home! It's time to rest!”
