Do you still love her?

Do you still love her?
Miller~

She is the light. The one that gives you hope to keep moving forward without getting tired. She became my light who saved me from falling into darkness.

When Violeta died I thought life was not worth living anymore. But I had to live for my daughter. It was hard to keep my own emotions at bay while taking care of Elsie.

Then she came. Young and heartbroken. Whereas the girls of her age goes around living their life, she was there, wrecked.

I wonder how much hardship she must have gone through to be that broken.

That day in the garden she held my daughter, she made her believe in hope. That day I hired that girl as the nanny for my ten year old.

She came into my house, then she entered my heart too. The way she became a mother to my daughter, the way she held me when I was falling apart.

She is a reserved person, she doesn't talk much. Even till date she keeps quiet. It took her a lot of time to get opened up to me.

She told me about her divorce, the death of her baby, and the death of her best friend.

We held each other, she became a part of my family. No I didn't forget Violeta but I also couldn't help and fell in love with that girl.

I have been called a groomer by people and for a long time I too doubted if I was right to be with that amber eyed girl. No, we didn't have any relationship for four years. I loved her secretly, because i didn't want to burden her with my feelings.

But then she came into my room that night, and then I couldn't keep my feelings to myself anymore. I told her how much I love her.

And it's not hard to fall in love with her. She is that special. She is everything.

We became each other's confidant. My home became hers too. We were a small little family. Until he came...her ex-husband.

I knew it was him the moment they both looked at each other with the intensity that only lovers have.

Fucking lucky bastard.

"Why are you here? " I quirked my brow up and gave him a questioning look. "You have got a lot of attitude for someone who is in jail for the past twenty four hours ".

He shook his head "perks of being in love with a woman with crazy lover" I chuckled "it's the reverse situation Mr. the crazy lover is you".

He looked at me with an irritated gaze "yeah you are right...she is not in love with you. " All the softness I had vanished and I looked at him, daring him to say more.

This guy is too disrespectful and arrogant for my liking. God, saved me from doing business with him. But damn! he is good at what he does.

"Why didn't you come after her, after she left you...you gave up on your great love" I asked. I want to know why he let her leave.

He smiled sadly and for the first time meeting him I can see a real emotion. A pain .

"I have already hurt her a lot Miller...I am not practically a good guy. I was toxic as you can already tell now...when she left, I did wanted to chase after her but I know her too. If I had not respected her wishes and kept her with me she would have loathed me. She would have never talked to me again or worse..."

He stopped speaking and I saw him zoning out . I can see the pain in his eyes. I can see pain in both of their eyes.

He loves her and she loves him to the intensity where it might kill them. "Do you still love her? " I ask because I want to make sure before I try to repair their broken relationship.
