‘Accept me

    Episode -96 ‘Accept me’    Alisa’s POV:     We entered the party and loud music was the first thing I noticed, Tina ran to her boyfriend and hugged him, she was all giggly and hanging around his shoulder, they are perfect for each other, I couldn’t help but smile…… suddenly memory of me running into Edwin’s arms appeared in my mind, I shake my head and tried to forget it… why I am even thinking about him?... we can never be like this.      I noticed Vic was walking to me, what? How is he here?... I didn’t knew he was coming, then I would have never come… shit…. I turned to leave as this is the only thing in my mind. Vic grabbed my hand and his eyes were pleading me to stop, I whispered, “Vic… let go.…”      He said, “You are staying,,, please.” I was about get away but Tina grabbed my shoulder and pulled me in a corner, I said before her words, “Tina,,, I am really sorry, I have to go.”    Tina sigh then she turned angry, she said, “Alisa… you don’t love Edwin neither does he, then why?..... why?.. give Vic a chance… and even if you don’t like Vic, you can be his friend, right?... you have every right to enjoy your life, have friends… you are staying, you have to be here in my happiness… you can be happy with me…” I nodded as I know I mean a lot to her, she always there when I need her and now she is just asking me to stay with her,, if I go then I would be a terrible friend.     I was sitting in the club, my friends dancing and being there usual self but I am not like them, I find it difficult to mix and do these things which appear pretty normal, I was just sipping my drink and doing nothing. Vic was sitting beside me, he didn’t say a word neither did I.     I finally ask, “Don’t you want to dance as they are doing?”    Vic simply answered, “I can’t.”      I asked again, “Why?....”    Vic simple and said, “Because I want you to be my partner and I know you will refuse.” He was staring at me with this affection and smile that I saw in Ron’s eyes…….. his expression was familiar but on a different face.     I said as I was looking at my hands, “Vic,, I want to tell you that… I can’t agree to be with you. I know Edwin is your friend, but believe I have seen him as a complete devil and I saw him ending someone’s life because of my mistake, I don’t want it all to happen again….. I want you to stop, stop your emotions, stop from walking in my life……”    Vic pulled my face to look at him, he wipe by unseen tears and I moved away and said, “I asked you to stop.”    Vic gave me a smile and said, “I can’t…. this is not in my hands, I loved you for years but my feelings for you never changed…….. you know when did I fall in love with you…. (smiles) do you  remember when you were paired with some other guy for a project, I hated it… then I realized I always find a excuse to be near you but I failed to reduce distance between us, but my eyes always found their way back to you, I noticed I was always staring at you, I wanted to cry when they bullied you, but I was too scared to do anything for you……. but when we finished high school and I never saw you, I felt like I was dying, I wanted to see you so bad that it was affecting me…. I always knew I loved you but I realized I have no control over my love for you.. so I decided to find you…. then I saw you lying on bed in Edwin’s house, your body was cold you were shivering, I treated you, tried my best to ease your pain. You know I was really happy that day to find you again, I promised myself I will be with you… but when I knew you were his wife, I wanted to die… but this will not stop me because I know you are not happy…. I am willing to make you happy just except me.” I was in tears, how can he love someone like me.. this is not possible… what am I supposed to do?........ but the truth is I can never love him.    He took my hand and said, “Accept me Alisa.”
