Trials Of Love: The Romantic Goddess

But deep in her heart, Mina knew these were just wishful thinking from her part, still, not wanting to truly believe what was occurring in front of her eyes, she tried very hard to make sense of the situation in front of her.

'Sigh… do you already love him that much? Should I check it out?... hmm… no, I shouldn't, let's watch for now.' This notion passed through my head as I looked helplessly at the person in front of me.

Then, wanting to make sure, Mina hid somewhere, waiting for them to leave the shop to see for herself where this was going, by following them.

And just like that after the couple left the shop, the two started walking hand in hand under an umbrella they've seemed to buy from the shop they were previously at.

Mina began going after them even though her heart was bleeding more at every step she took while following them and watching them walk romantically hand in hand under their umbrella.

Finally, after around twenty more minutes, they seemed to be about to separate from each other, but it was at this moment that…

Annu suddenly leaned over as he kissed Morana on her lips as their umbrella fell on the ground.

At the same time, the thunder and lightning started intensifying and Mina's time completely stopped at this moment.

'Sigh… I swear I just heard the sound of her heart shattering into thousand pieces… why is she still so obsessed with him…' I reflected.

She felt like she broke completely after witnessing what she saw, she could no longer feel her own existence at this moment as she completely despaired, and in her despair, she was wishing with all her might that this was all just a nightmare that she would wake up from soon.

After what felt like an eternity later, she finally began to take a grip of her senses, and then, she realized she had been too naive until now. Naive into believing that people who were actually precious to her would never betray or harm her.

'Sigh… you realized it too late.' I pondered to myself.

After the kiss, Annu went beside the road and took a taxi for Morana, sending her away, after which he walked away with the umbrella in his hand.

Meanwhile, Mina was completely soaked by the rain like she was showering in it, as the rain had gotten very intense by now.

After Annu was gone, without paying any attention to the showering rain, she started walking in a random direction completely dazed, she didn't understand where she was going exactly, she just knew she wanted to get away from this place, as far as she could.

Maybe, this was her futile struggle to unconsciously escape from all these painful memories, or maybe something else entirely.

Or maybe it's me?

So after a while of walking in a random direction with no light in her eyes, without realizing, she was in a dark alley with no passers-by anywhere, the alley was completely empty.

Ah, that look in her eyes reminded me of Scarlet for a second there… thank God it wasn't at that degree though… because in that case, Mina would've… sigh, let's just stop, her love definitely wasn't at that level as of yet!

'Anyway, it seems it's finally the time…' As I thought of this, raising my left hand, I snapped my fingers.

Without paying any heed to the dark alley though, Mina continued her path and ambled while completely lost in herself, when suddenly, a very loud thunder's sound was heard, scaring her out of her daze.

It was like a bomb was exploding just beside her, looking at the sky, she saw a bolt of red lightning coming her way…
