Present

" Sister... Are you there? "

Aysel Faith, Asterias little sister knocked on the door making her snap out from her daydream.

" Yes, I am here. " Asteria said as wiped her tears away and put on a smiling face.

" Mom said you went on a date with brother Casper. How was it ? " Aysel asked with concern.

" It went well. Casper is a nice guy. You know him from your childhood. " Asteria replied without looking at Aysel.

" I know Casper is a nice guy, it’s not what I mean. Are you okay? "

" Of course I am. It’s just that I'm a little bit off recently. " Asteria said and sat on her bed.

" Hmm... sister, I know you very well. Is that the memories of Brother Ian's bothering you? "

Asteria didn't reply to her. She cant help but cry.

" Sister don't cry. I'm here for you. You can always lean on me. "

" Its been three years, three years he has disappeared. I don't know where he is, how he is or if he is still alive.

I just want to know at least if he is alive, if he is then why he leaves me. He promised me. He promised to me, Aysel ” Asteria cried hysterically.

Aysel knows how Asteria love Ian. They were inseparable but now Ian disappeared without any trace.

" Sister, its been three years and you are going to marry Casper. You have to let him go "

" I know. I have to and I will but I wish I see my Ian once again "

" sister, if you see him again. You will not let him go... This is fate and you have to accept it even if you don’t like it "

Asteria didn't utter any words and simply cried on her shoulder.

" Well, take a rest. Tomorrow on wards my big sister is going to take over our company so you have to be more active. Sleep well okay "

Aysel said as she kissed on her sisters cheek.

In a nightclub

" One more "

" Whoa, bro calm down. Do you know how much you have drunk. Whoa Casper stop drinking "

Leon grabbed the glass from Casper.

" Leave me alone, I want to drink. " Casper blabbered

" well what makes you drink like this today "

" Asteria…."

" Well, she is the reason why you always drink. What was today's."

" she didn't forget that bastard "

" who? "

" Ian " Casper mumbled.

" The guy who left her three years ago. Damn she still loves him. I thought girls will forget men like they change dress " Leon joked.

" Well... She is not like all the girls out there. She is different " Casper said as remembered Asteria's smile.

On Casper’s birthday

Casper confronted Felix after that he came outside to find Asteria but witnessed Asteria's and Ian's love confession.

Never ever in his life he expected that moment. He was totally broken. Asteria was the only person in his life who he wanted to be with.

Casper was three years older than Asteria but they were so close to each other. Casper was born in a rich and famous family and his parents were too strict towards him and Asteria was his only friend with only a shoulder to lean on.

He loved her with his whole heart but sadly Asteria only saw him as a best friend.

From that day onward he started to drink. To ease his pain, forget the unbearable memories.

To get peace.
