"I met you that fateful day by the bridge? Do you remember?"
"..."
There was no sound.
"I knew that when I first saw you. Ahh, she is the one."
"..."
She began to slowly close her eyes. The dimness in them started to become more apparent.
"Please....don't leave me....my wife.." He struggled to murmur as he hugged her tightly in his arms.
"I...I..love you." Blood slowly tainted his hands and soaked into his clothes. Her hand slowly fell from her stomach.
Tears streamed down endlessly until...
'Aunty knows about it more than I do!' He suddenly remembered what she had said.
That's right. There's someone who can save us.
I promised you that, I love you till death do us part.
No. I don't want to promise such a cheap wedding vow. I'll love you forever, that's my vow to you.
He remembered the day clearly. The wind swayed her hair softly. When she turned her head to look at him. With just one look, he knew, there was something special about her.

"It's so strange, I feel like I've known you since the beginning"
"oh really?" he said with a conflicted and pained expression.
"Why are you crying?" She subconsciously lifted her hand and try to rub off the tears that threaten to roll from his eyes.
"It's nothing, I was just reminded of someone, someone who said those exact words"
"I see" she softly giggled.
I saw him look at me with a heartbreaking expression. I don't know why but my heart hurts too. My body and soul yearned for his touch. Tears started to endlessly fell down one by one off of my face as I cupped his face. He tried to dig his face deeper into it, wanting to engulf my hand.
"You just look so familiar to me." She said. "But I don't understand why."
His eyes turned red again.
She giggled again. "For a man of cold nature, you sure cry a lot."
They stood there, in front of the entrance of the college campus for a long, long time.
"Would You marry me again?" He held her hand tight.
