Chapter 3: Let it go ?


    Jonathan stood there as he watched her walk away again. He knew that he had to make a choice


    between letting her go like she had asked him to do in her letter or to go after the one woman he knew


    he would love forever. He didn''t know whether seeing her again had relieved him of some pain and


    longing or had made his longing for her more intense. He remembered the scene he had seen barely


    half an hour ago. It had felt so wrong to watch Liza slow dance with someone else, it should have been


    him and it would have been him, had he not messed up the most beautiful thing that had ever


    happened to him.


    Jonathan didn''t even know if Liza had found somebody new to rece him and as much as he wanted


    to, he couldn''t just waltz back in her life. But he also couldn''t let her go. He had promised himself that if


    they ever crossed paths again he wouldn''t let them go separate ways. His thoughts were confusing him


    to no end. On one hand there was a chance that Liza already loved someone else and going after her


    would only cause her pain but on the other hand there was also a possibility that they could rebuild


    their rtionship and have the life they had both once dreamed of.


    The only thing he was sure about was that he needed to have her in his life. He had been a machine


    forst four years, barely showing any emotions, meeting her again had brought him back to life,


    reviving all those buried feelings. He had been stupid when he had cheated on her and even more


    stupid when he had used her of the same but he wasn''t the same man now. He had grown and


    learned from his mistakes, if given a second chance he would never make them again. He checked his


    watch it was 7:00 Pm and he had a flight to catch, he had a choice to make. He could go back to New


    York and walk away from this fateful encounter or he could go back to the wedding and take a chance.


    He didn''t want to be cause of more tears for Liza but he also didn''t want to let go of her. He was stuck


    in a limbo. He had taken decisions which could make or break hispany without hesitation and yet


    here he was standing on the beach unable to decide whether to go after the love of his life or not. He


    took a deep breath in and closed his eyes. He saw Liza smiling on their wedding day, walking towards


    him in a beautiful white dress and he knew then and there that his decision had been already made. He


    took out the cell phone and texted Dave. ''Cancel my flight and wait for the instructions. '' This time he


    would stay and fight for her. This time he wouldn''t let her go and with this thought he made his way


    back to the wedding.


    Liza sighed in relief as she reached the wedding. Meeting Jonathan had been emotionally tiring. It had


    taken a lot of willpower to not turn back and p him for showing his face again. Liza had said that she


    had forgiven Jonathan in herst letter and she truly had but that didn''t mean that she was ready to


    face him again. Her mind was in a jumble and her emotions were all over the ce. She had somehow


    managed to keep their encounter short and professional. After had initial shock of meeting him had


    worn off, she had handled it pretty well. The only thing she prayed for now was not to meet him again.


    Alice hadn''t told her that Jonathan was attending this wedding or she would have nevere here but


    then again she should have known that Leslie would have called all the people who were on top of the


    business food chain.


    She gulped down her fourth ss of red wine as she sat down on one of the chairs near the bar. She


    had never been much of the drinker but tonight she would need as much liquid courage as she could


    get. Her eyes scoured the area looking for Jonathan and to her surprise she felt a little bit of


    disappointment seep into her, when she couldn''t find him. She shook her head as if to clear her mind

    but it was already a little clouded by all the alcohol she had consumed. She got up from the seat but


    swayed a little as she saw the world before her tilt a little bit towards left and then a bit more towards


    right. She wondered if there was an earthquake and then suddenly everything started to spin making


    her loose her bnce. She closed her eyes ready to embrace the pain but it never came. Instead of


    smashing her face in the makeshift hardwood floor, she found her face buried in someone''s warm


    chest. She felt her body gox in the arms of the stranger and the only words she heard were "Found


    you." Before her vision went nk and she fell into a deep pit of drunken unconsciousness.
