Ivanna Pov's
.
"Congratulations once again" My best friend, Sia, congratulated me on the award of the CEO of the Year that I received today. I smiled and hugged her, before hopping off the car. After bidding her goodbye I look at my cup. Another success but I had no one to celebrate it.
"I wish you were here, Stefan. I would have shown you what I'm capable of" I thought and turned to go towards my home while searching for my mobile in my purse. After struggling for a while, I finally found it and looked towards the door, only to find my ex standing there.
"Stefan" I halted my steps which were going towards him. He was standing at the door of my house with a big smile on his face, waiting for me.
"No... You're not here... It's my imagination" I shook my head, trying to get into reality. It's not the first time that I've imagined him. There is not a day when I don't think about him. Many times, I woke up after seeing him in my dreams. Many times, I imagine him like this in front of me and I'm sure this is also one of those fantasies where I dream of him waiting for me at the door to wish me for taking a step to achieve my dreams.
"He is not here, Ivanna" I muttered to myself and closed my eyes, knowing he will go when I open my eyes. Tears welled up in my eyes but I didn't let them fall... I know he is just my imagination and I hate it... I hate that I still love him despite what he did to me.
I took a deep breath and opened my eyes and it grew wider seeing him standing close to me. My heartbeat rose with the thought of him present in reality.
"Ivanna" I felt like my whole world stopped when he called me, giving me proof that he is not a dream. Tears fell from my eyes which I was holding. He was about to wipe my tears but I moved back.
"St---Stefan" He nodded his head. Even he had tears in his eyes with a smile. My heart was screaming at me to hug him but my brain was reminding me of the damage he did to me.
"Wh--What are yo--you doing here?" I cursed myself for stuttering in front of him... He hates when I stutter but it's not in my hand. I stutter whenever I feel nervous or upset.
"I'm here for you" My heart skipped a beat upon hearing him.
"You're three years late, Stefan" I muttered without thinking much. I wiped my tears and crossed him. I don't want to stay near him because I know if I did then I would end up broken down in front of him. I insert the password to open my door.
"I'm sorry" My hands stopped and again unwanted tears fell from my eyes.
"I'm sorry for everything, Shine" I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm myself, and pressed the enter button to open the door.
"I know there is no forgiveness for what I did but I love you, Ivanna" His words were enough to melt the ice around my heart but I controlled my emotion and listened to my mind which was telling me to push him away.
"But I don't love you" I muttered and wiped my tears before turning towards him.
"I told you, Stefan. You're three years late. I don't want your sorry and neither do I need your love anymore" I entered and closed the door at his face before he would have said something. I sat on the floor, broke into tears. I always imagine him but I never thought that it would break me again to see him in front of my eyes. It felt like all my wounds were freshened up after seeing him in front of me.
"You broke me, Stefan... You broke me"
