Just loving you keeps me alive. My heart will shatter without you. Ever since that winter day, forevermore..will this love conquer it all?
oOoOo
It's been a week after our engagement party. He visits me oftenly now, and he never mentions Aerith anymore. I sensed hope, but I didn't want it to turn to a false one. It's better if I just stay quiet and enjoy his presence. I am waiting for him now, he said we'll go out today.
*DINGDONG*
I hurried to the door to see if it was him, but it wasn't.
"Hi Tifa!", it was Yuffie. As energetic as ever, she let herself in.
"Yuffie, what do you need?" I asked. She laughed. "When I come here you always ask me that question do you? Well, I'm here to inform you that I saw your fiancee earlier" she said.
"You saw Cloud? Where?" I asked.
"He was at a coffee shop with a girl..A brown-haired girl who wears pink ribbons" she answered. Aerith..Damn that woman.
"So..who was that girl, Tifa?" she asked again. "His ex-girlfriend" I looked down. I wanted to cry.
"oooookay..Well anyway! Wanna go shopping?" she asked, I know she just did that so I wouldn't be down anymore. I smiled at her, suddenly I heard the front door open. Cloud..
"So there's Prince Charming!" Yuffie said and stood up. "Hi..uhm?" he asked, he still doesn't know her yet.
"I'm Yuffie, Yuffie Kisaragi! The Princess of Wutai Corp." she smiled and shook hands with Cloud. "Well Tifa, I better be going now! See yah girl!" she said.
After Yuffie left, it's now just Cloud and me. He sat beside me.
"Ready to go?" he asked, while playing with my hair. I stopped his hand. "We need to talk" I faced him seriously. His face became serious also.
"What about?" he asked.
"About you..and Aerith" I said, well he looked a bit of surprised. "What about it?" he asked.
"Yuffie said she saw you two at a coffee shop this morning" I said, my tears are now ready to fall down. "Tell me Cloud, are you still with her?" I asked.
He sighed. "No, I'm not" he said, calmly. I'm becoming hysterical at this time. "Liar!! Tell me the truth, Cloud" I begged.
"Everything was over between us after our Engagement Party" he said.
"Then why?" I asked.
"She wanted to talk to me, about her wedding" he said. I was shocked. "Wedding?!" he hushed me.
"Hey, she's getting married with your friend" he said. "My Friend? You don't mean to tell me, Zack?" I asked, and he nodded.
"Seems like they knew each other long ago. Well, at least I don't have to worry with that Zack anymore" he said, and then he kissed the top of my hand.
I grabbed it back. "But you said, you don't have feelings for me" I said. He chuckled.
"I never told you that! I told you that I am not sure about my feelings, but now I am" he said and then he kissed me. Between that kiss, I managed to ask "How?", he stopped kissing me and laughed out loud. "That doesn't matter anymore, Tifa. All I know is that I love you. And that's that. Well if you don't want my love then-"
"I never said that I don't want your love!" I said. I started crying. "Hey, ssshhh.." he hushed me and wiped my tears off.
"Do you ever know how much you hurt me everytime? Ever since we were kids.." I said.
"Kids?" he confusedly asked.
"Yes, I was in love with you. One winter day, you played outside my house. I saw you from my window, and ever since then I wanted to be with you" I confessed. "But, I did not force mom to do an arranged marriage between us! I just-"
"Ssshhh, enough now Tifa. Didn't I say that, that doesn't matter anymore? I love you, You love Me, and we will be marrying each other when it's the right time" and then he kissed me again.
That kiss was enough to cover all my fears. Now I'm sure, all the pain that he caused me, ever since that winter day..will now be replaced with happiness.
