Meeting You Was Fate

Unimaginable things had happened within the last eight years. It turned out, committing the same mistakes was not a good idea.

"Mand, stop crying. Seeing you cry is killing me," Daniel said. "I hate it, the distance between us. I miss seeing your face close to me, beaming with radiance," he continued. Feeling sad, Daniel stretched out his hand in an attempt to touch Mandy's face, which seemed so close to him. As his hand got closer, he was woken up by the coldness of the glass between them. Thinking that he couldn't caress Mandy's cheeks ever again made Daniel reevaluate his whole life. He smiled bitterly as he thought about his life.

Daniel's loving eyes pierced straight into Mandy. It reminded her of the days when they were crazily in love with each other. 'He used to look at me like that, ' Mandy thought, and the memories made her burst into tears.

"Tell me, Daniel, why have you done this? I still can't believe it," she wailed. "I just want to know why you did it." Mandy was having a breakdown, slamming the glass over and over. In order to put her mind to rest, she clutched her hands and forced him to tell the truth.

She was confused. She knew he didn't love her anymore, but why did Daniel keep showing signs that he still loved her? Everything felt so ridiculous.

Daniel kept telling her to glow like the sunshine. But how could she smile after those things had happened? For Mandy, it felt like she was trapped inside a mysterious maze, and she had no idea how and when she could get out of it.

All her life, sunshine would always win over gloomy storms. This time, however, the storm would not go away, and it felt that the storm was slowly sucking out her soul.

The guards noticed Mandy's nervous breakdown and took her away from the glass. Knowing what they should do whenever something like this happens, the guards assisted her to sit down and relax on a chair. Once the visiting time was over, Daniel was taken away without notifying either him or Mandy. Tears streamed down on Mandy's cheeks.

Mandy felt that she was being eaten alive. Not only because Daniel had ended up behind bars nor because he had lied to her. She was feeling miserable because it was no longer possible to spend their whole life together the way they had planned it. Mandy felt that a part of her life had been completely ruined.

Many years later, Nathan would say to her that it was human nature for people to tell lies, especially in dire times. But Mandy did not give in to this thought at this moment, especially seeing Daniel so miserable. After all, she could only show Daniel some sympathy.

It took Mandy quite a while to pick herself up and walk out of the police station. She was slightly depressed, quite different from how she had arrived at the police station. Her face was flushed red, and her nose flared as she decided to get to the bottom of everything, and finally understand what had really happened.

Everything was different as she left the police station. She was feeling embarrassed as she didn't have a clue why everything had ended up the way it did.

Mandy held her hands above her eyebrows, covering the sun's intense heat. The sun's heat was getting to Mandy, and she started to feel dizzy, making her unable to think clearly.

It was believed that there were two things in this world that people couldn't possibly see through. One was the sun, and the other was the human heart.
