Letting Go

"Are you coming back Ana?"

She bit the bottom of her lips to suppress the tears wanting to fall from her cheeks. The words he said was like a sword plunging deep into her heart. She stared at his hazel brown eyes and there she saw sadness he did not dare conceal.

'Dear god this is painful.' She thought after seeing the extent of the pain visible on his eyes after he saw her packing her things. She closed her eyes tighter. She swallowed hard. If she told him the truth she's not coming back, will he set her free?

She took a long breath to summon all her courage to speak. "Why did you ask Hary?" She asked him instead. She tried to show him a brave face. She was able to conceal what she feel but her voice sounded shaken. He was too wrapped around his thoughts that he didn't notice it at all.
