Chapter 18 - Like a Magic Being Cast On Her

The following time, Ellie was sitting on a bench at the park again, holding something is precious to him. He gave up hope that everything would be back to the way it was before.

"Um…" someone called onto him when he saw that it was Alex. It surprised him she suddenly came to the park. They looked at each other's eyes like it was their first meeting.

"Weren't you my friend before? I want to know about myself…"

"I… I'm…" This is his chance to reveal her that Ellie was her boyfriend before, but one thing crossed on his mind. "I'm sorry about the other day. I got the wrong person. There was… There was a friend I've always been waiting to meet again. I got suddenly excited. If I think about it… You don't look like her at all." he said it with his courage while he's holding back his tears.

"Is that so?"

He just nodded, and he didn't say a word. He turns around as he walks away from her.

"Wait!" she called him again, and Ellie suddenly stopped from walking away. "It would be good if you meet her! That person…"

She didn't know that the person who wanted to meet him all this time is already in front of him. This is the day that Ellie saw her after six years.

Ellie and his colleagues gathered in celebration of their homecoming, but they suddenly agitated when they found out the situation about Alex lost her memories and the marriage that will take place on the next day. The celebration was not pleasant when they felt that their friend was going through from an illness long time ago. They sat quietly at the table without recognizing what they were going to say. Teddy is the only one who can open his heart to Ellie.

"There are many recent novels that released this year. Which one do you read right now?" he asked.

"I've bought some, but work has been really busy," he said as he drinks his glass of juice.

"I've heard the news that Princess Catarina's stepmother will be back again. The author thought about it on his next sequel,"

"Yeah. It's been a decade since the novel released. It is amazing that the author developed its sequel, after a long time,"

Teddy thought about breaking their topic, and he talk about Alex's marriage.

"Eleanor. Alex is getting married,"

He's suddenly speechless when he heard it again.

"I know that,"

"I'm not inviting you to it! Not knowing about her illness must have made you feel a lot of regret. I never thought she had a life-threatening illness. I think… that's because she was living her life to the fullest,"

All of them thought the same way that Teddy did. They suddenly felt regret when they realized she's been happy the whole time back then.

"I wonder if she could forget all about her illness and have fun when she was with you? That's just like magic being cast on her. Is this… the end of everything?"

"I want her to be happy… Is there anything better than that?"

He's right. All he ever wanted was to make her happy. So, he will give her the happiness she deserves.
