The Love From Vengeance

235: DON’T HIDE IT

ARIEL’S POV

Turning around, Luke was the one I saw. He stood not too far from Janice and me, not

taking his eyes off the two of us one bit. He had this sad countenance, not that we had

spoken with each other yet. I began the conversation, but he already made me feel sorry

for him.

“Ariel, he spoke my name softly, looking deeply into my eyes. Our gaze wasn’t coming to

an end any time soon. “I’m glad I saw you.” His soft and gentle tone continued.

“Luke,” I vocalized softly as well. “What are you doing here?”

“I came here for you,” he answered.

“For me?” I asked, with a face that was puzzled to a certain degree. “How did you know

that I came here?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’m here now, and that’s all that matters.”

“I’m sorry, say what now?”

“Daddy!” Janice ran to Luke, grabbing his leg in her buoyant mood.

He laughed and squatted to her level, holding her hands. “How have you been, pretty

one?”

“I’ve been great, daddy. I was even thinking of telling Mommy to take me to you. It’s a

good thing you’re here now.”

My eyes widened, hearing Janice’s words. She was thinking of doing what now?”

“It seems like my little baby is having a great time at the park.” Luke smiled. delightfully

at her, kneading her nose.

“Yes, Mommy made this moment really special for me. We were looking at the sky before

you came.”

“Oh, really? That’s nice.”

“Come on, daddy, take a good look at the sky.” Janice pointed towards the sky.

Luke looked in the direction of her finger. “Wow, the sky is really a beautiful one.”

I looked at the sky as well, and it was really beautiful, with the clouds moving slowly right

there. It was a magnificent view.

“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Janice asked Luke.

He nodded, laughing slightly. “it’s beautiful, and you can just imagine how it’s going to

look like when the day gets dark, with the stars popping up.”

Luke moved his hand dramatically, continuing, “It’s going to be real beautiful. just like

your mother.” He turned to look at me, smirking. I quickly turned my

face away

Look at me, Ariel,” he said. I glanced at him that very moment, watching how he stood up

and walked to me. “How have you been?”

I continued to look into his eyes, lost in his charm. “Why are you asking me that?

I asked him softly.

“I’m being caring. You are my wife, remember?”

“I know that. You don’t have to remind me.”

“Ariel, take a look at the little children playing in this park.” Luke gestured towards the

gleeful children right in the park.

I looked in the direction he was gesturing. Children of all ages ran and played, their

laughter filling the air with joy and excitement.

On the swings, a little girl with curly blonde hair giggled as her father pushed her higher

and higher. Her pink dress fluttered in the wind, and her bright blue eyes sparkled with

delight.

Nearby, a group of boys were playing a game of tag. They ran around the playground,

their sneakers pounding against the ground as they chased each other with shouts of glee.

The tallest boy, with messy brown hair, managed to tag his friend, and they both

collapsed on the grass, panting and laughing.

A little boy with glasses and a book in hand carefully constructed a sandcastle in the

sandbox. He added a moat and a flag on top, a proud smile on his face as he admired his

creation. A few feet away, a group of girls were having a tea party with plastic cups and

plates, their stuffed animals as guests. They chattered away, their imaginations running

wild.

On the basketball court, a group of teenagers were playing a game of pick–up. They

dribbled and shot, their competitive spirits evident as they cheered and high -fived each

other. One girl with long braided hair made a perfect shot, and the others cheered,

impressed by her skills.

A little further away, a group of toddlers were chasing bubbles that their parents blew for

them. They squealed with delight as they tried to catch the colorful orbs, their tiny hands

reaching out in excitement.

Some played on the jungle gym, climbing and sliding with ease. Others rode their

bikes or scooters around the paved paths, a sense of freedom and adventure in

their movements.

“Now tell me, Ariel, what do you see here?” Luke asked, setting his eyes back on

1. me.

“I see…..ferent children,” I replied slowly.

“Of course, I know that. But tell me what you see in these children playing around?”

“Happiness,” I answered softly.

“Uhmm, what did you say?” He pretended like he didn’t hear what I said.

“Happiness, they’re all happy.”

“Exactly! And why are they happy? It’s because they have what they want. They have the

things that they need.”

“I think I know where this talk of yours is going to.”

“I know you do.” Luke held both of my hands. “Ariel, listen to me. There’s no need for you

to keep on fighting it.”

“Fighting what?”

“You love me, and I can see the passion in your eyes.”

“And who told you that?” I asked in a whisper.

“No one has to tell me. I can see everything clear myself.”

“Don’t start thinking like that.” I took my hands off his. “Janice, come on, we have to….”

He grabbed my waist and pulled me really close to him. Now, this man had hist hand

wrapped around me.

“Aren’t you going to let me go?” I tried taking his hand off my body.

“You have to listen to me,

me, Ariel.”

“Listen to you? What do you have to say?”

“My feelings. Every time I look into your eyes, I can feel the love and passion you have for

me. It’s like a flame that never dies burning bright and strong. Your gaze is filled with

adoration, and I can see how much you truly love me.”

I almost got lost by his words, but I shook my head, snapping out of it.

“Don’t hide it, Ariel. Your eyes are the windows to your soul, and they show me the depth

of your love. Every single minute, I’m captured by your passiorr, and I

hope to spend every moment of my life basking in it.”

After staring into his eyes for some seconds, I laughed.

“What’s funny?” Luke questioned softly.

“And since when did you become a poet?”

He chuckled. “Ariel, I’m only expressing these feelings for you. I’m not joking, I’m for real

when I say I want you to be my woman and no one else.

I sighed. “I understand you, Luke. But please, you have to stop all these and listen

to me.”

“I’m listening. So tell me, what’s your decision?”

“First, you have to let go of me,” I told him and he did that. “Well, I’m not ready yet. I’m

not ready to get back to you and you know, live that life.”

“I want the both of you together, mommy.”
