"Jona, please tell me why you're doing this?"
Tony, who was desperately in love with Jona, knelt as he begged and forced Jona not to break up with him. Tony, cried endlessly looking into Jona's eyes and showing such a pitiful face.
"Please, Tony. Let go."
Jona just ignored Tony and looked away. She forced herself to escape from the very tight grip of Tony with her hand.
"Jona…., please."
Tony mourned while he knelt and faced the ground. He watched his tears fall but shame never came into his mind. He was hoping that Jona would pity him and decided to stay.
"Jona….!!"
It never happened as she hoped it would. When he looked above, Jona was never found. Tony didn't know what to do but even though he didn't know. He had no choice but to go and move on in his life by himself, alone.
Months later, Tony learned that Jona had someone whom she loved. He accepted that they were over even though a part of him longed for Jona's love. He just let himself busy with his work, it's his way of forgetting his feelings towards her.
A year later, Tony learned to smile again. Brightness could at least be found in his face. The gloomy face he had before was replaced with a smiling face. Thanks to Ana and her son, Tony's life became colorful again. Even though Ana's son was not his, he loved him truly like how a real biological father does. He heard rumors about Ana but he ignored it and didn't believe it. He was so sure that he loved Ana very much so why he cared about his past.
"Who is this?" Tony answered his phone.
"Oh come on, you forgot my voice already?" Silly question from Jona.
Of course, Tony knew it was her but he was just fooling around.
"Sorry, but if you won't tell me I'll end this call."
"Okay, okay, this is me, Jona."
Jona hurriedly answered to introduce herself.
"Ah, okay", Tony acted dumb and sounded uninterested.
"Can we meet Tony?"
Tony was surprised at what Jona said. Obviously, he was being invited to date or whatsoever. Well, Tony was a loyal person and honest so to be expected, Jona was rejected.
"Jona, it's true that we have memories together, in fact, even love for each other. However, our story together ended the day you left my heart wounded."
"Wait, are you still mad at me, Tony?"
All of a sudden Jona interrupted Tony while talking.
"Oh sorry", Tony's voice clearly smiled.
"It's not like that, Jona. I'm just happy and content with the woman I love right now. I don't have a reason to see you and to say something to you."
Jona sighed with a lower tone of voice.
"I wish you happiness, Jona and goodbye."
Tony hung up the phone while Jona was just surprised and since then, Tony didn't hear about Jona.
Tony got a promotion and was sent to his manager to go abroad. He was very sad because he disliked being far away from his family. He did not want to separate with Ana and his son but he was thinking of their brighter future. Even though he shed tears as he departed seeing his loved ones. He remained calm and decided to trust Ana that she'd wait for him.
"I love you so much, Ana. When I come back, we will see each other at the church together expressing our vows."
Ana cried with happiness and said, "I love you so much too, Tony."
However, 5 months after Tony left, he heard the painful news. He learned that Ana was going to get married soon. He found out that the father of Ana's son returned to them and this time he was ready.
Tony felt so much pain that he didn't know what to say or what to feel. He was so broken but a part of him was happy that Ana's son has his real father, a biological one. Even though he felt agony, this time he found peace in his heart. He accepted the reality of love that if it's not yours to be destined you can't do anything about it.
Just like what he said to Jona, he said to himself upon hearing the news about Ana.
"I wish you happiness. I love you."
He accepted the truth but he still felt the pain so he let the tears fall endlessly.
