A knock on my door wakes me up. I groan, pulling my blanket off me.
I got home late after the dinner. It all turned out bad. Thanks to my uncle who couldn't keep his mouth shut. He's always ruining everyone's happiness.
After Mike and Karen left to God knows where, I also left the dinning table for some fresh air in the garden. One of my favorite places in my parents house. The garden brings so much memories.
Walking to the garden, I spotted Karen and Mike in the corners, saying something to each other. They looked so in love. I hated how my heart broke just staring about them. I used to be like them, with my girlfriend in my arms. The only woman I loved.
Natasha.
We were so in love. We were glued to each other, not wanting to let go, but she did.
She left without a word.
She left leaving a broken me to sulk. I remembered when I didn't hear from her for over a week. I was asked

Peter WellingtonI am intrigued by the way she eats, talks, smiles, laughs. Her eyes sparkles each time she takes a bite from her toast or a sip from her coffee.She has too many similarities to Natasha. If I'm not mistaken, they have almost the same face. Is that why I'm admiring her? Definitely.I still miss every bit of Natasha. I found love in her. We were fine. I was almost going on my knees to propose to her and make her my wife and the mother of my kids. She left a week before I got to purchase the ring.Those memories breaks my heart everyday. A lot of times I would want to have her to get the TV good for Friday my arms, with her body pressed against my body, Everyday I try to find out where I went gone wrong but I can't find a reason to warrant her running away from me.Karen is still talking to Mike over the phone. I can see the gleam in her eyes as they talk. The same gleam I used to see in Natasha's eyes.
