Love is a feeling that is difficult to describe in words. Love can only be felt with the heart, but we can guess the signs and reactions from the expression of every body movement, be it eyes, hands, lips, heartbeat or facial expressions.
When Ara opened her eyes for the first time and looked around, she knew that she wasn't in the real world right now. Her heart felt tight and his body felt numb. She is in a temple that holds a lot of Pain. It was the temple where she and Muticus married. They should have become husband and wife, if the arrow hadn't pierced Muticus' heart.
Ara tried to get up from that place, the place was very quiet and so strange. In front of her there was a familiar tree. Ivy Leaves..
For some reason Ara chose to walk to the trees and pick up the red-brown leaves.
Her eyes stared fixedly, then before long she heard the sound of someone walking. When she looked to the side, she saw Steve in royal clothes. looks very handsome and different.
"You're here, I've been looking for you everywhere." Steve said in a soft voice.
Ara just kept quiet and looked at the leaf in her hand again, she knew very well the meaning of this leaf in the future. Ivy leaf is one of the symbols of love used by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Ivy is a vine that has another name Hedera helix. Ivy leaves that are heart-shaped and always blush green are considered the right evergreen leaves to symbolize love and affection. Stems (vines) that propagate are considered a symbol of passion for life. In ancient times, ivy leaves were often placed on tombstones as a sign of eternal love even though death had separated them.
Does this Leaf grow to tell us that this place is going to be a sad graveyard?
"Arabella?" Steve asked again.
"Don't talk to me, I'm not in the mood to say anything." Ara said slowly, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes slowly.
Hoping this world would disappear and she could return to the future, Ara felt tired. He was tired of seeing flashes of the past, those flashes getting clearer and more bizarre. Ara couldn't solve it all, she couldn't endure all the suffering.
"Ara, are you alright? Let's go back to the Palace." Steve spoke once more, causing Ara to open her eyes and take a deep breath.
"Am I going to marry Prince Cristatus?" asked Ara suddenly, hearing this Steve immediately fell silent and looked into the woman's eyes in front of him seriously.
"You were the one who accepted the proposal, you were the one who said that you had fallen in love with him. Are you still questioning all that now?" Steve asked, Ara turned to Steve and looked deep into the man's eyes.
Ara knows one thing at this time, the events that occur are flashes that have not yet entered Ara's memory. and all of those flashes relate to Steve, a man who had never been in Ara's flashback before. And Ara also understands some of the speculations. That at this time she kept remembering something with a forward flow. A little pause. But it all made sense to Ara.
"I accept the proposal? When is the wedding date?" I asked again, I had forgotten when the wedding would take place.
"You forgot? Two more days, when the night moon shines brightly in the middle of the temple. Then you will marry and become someone else's wife." Steve's words seemed to hold a lot of pain, I saw all of that pain with quite a lot of guilt.
"Steve? Are you in love with me?" Of the many questions stuck in Ara's brain at this time, the woman chose a question that was quite extreme and very sensitive.
"Is that a Question? Are you really Asking Myself? or are you just playing with my feelings again? Arabella?" Steve asked back, the man was already looking the other way and looked very angry.
"So you did fall in love with me in this world, you didn't fight for that love?" Ara asked once again, the question that now stabbed Steve deep into his heart.
The man immediately looked quickly and there was hope in those eyes.
"You want me to fight? Do you want to leave this marriage?" Steve was already holding Ara's hands. The woman was just silent and looked at the hand that was currently held by Steve
Very warm...
Would Steve want to hold Ara's hand like this in real life? Ara so I wonder.
"What are you going to do to fight for me?" Ask Ara again.
"Anything, anything you want." Steve said very confidently.
They stared at each other for a long time, looking at each other. It wasn't long before the Ivy leaves above them fell. as if something was about to happen, the wind was blowing hard and falling ivy leaves hit their bodies over and over again. Their eyes gave each other different feelings. Universe is supporting? Or is the universe rejecting it?
Arabella felt that the Ivy leaves were flying like a symbol of love. The symbol of love itself is said to be the heart which in biological language is the liver, even though most people refer to this symbol as the heart. Some philosophers say that the heart is the center of thought and emotion which sometimes rejects the role of the brain. And some teachings say that in this heart there is a soul. And Arabella is now interpreting that the symbol of love here is the Ivy leaf.
at such a sweet moment like this Ara is still guessing about what really happened.
Ahhh .. women do have very complicated thoughts.
