The Glimpse of My Past

Unknown Person’s P. O. V.

It had been three years already, but I still could not stop thinking about her. Three years had passed, yet I still could not find the woman I had been searching for.

She was probably a minor by that time so, she might have looked different by now. But one thing was for sure-that she might have looked even better. She might have bloomed into a much prettier and sexier woman, but where could I find her? Where in the earth she could ever be found?

I was willing to pay for any amount if I could find her sooner. For me, she was more than an ounce of gold. I wished that we could start all over again too-far from how we had met each other. I would trade everything for a single chance of being with her and make up for that one horrible mistake I did before.

Smoldered with deep regrets from what had already happened, I would like to spare this one-I would never regret that she came into my life and changed my perspective on it. Just in case the two of us would cross paths again, I only wished that she would forgive me for the fault that I inadvertently made.

It was indeed a miserable and wrong time when I first saw her, but I still believed that everything had a valid reason. I might not know about it for now, but I was hoping that eventually, I would be able to know the reason why our lives got intertwined that way. I could no longer correct that mistake, but hopefully, I would be given another chance to make up for the number of years her life was ruined all because of me.

If I hurt her before, I would protect her now, and I would not do anything for her to be hurt again. I would do everything for her to be happy now and for the next days to come, I promised that.

I might be crazy at that time. My mind was floating somewhere else that I could not think straight anymore, but I was sure of one thing. It was not because of drugs that I did that unforgivable thing to her. It might be impossible to believe because it was too soon, but I guessed I fell in love with her at first sight.

When I carelessly took her virginity on that night, I knew that she undoubtedly took my heart, and I wasn’t able to get it back.

Like her, I was also a victim.

My parents were left with no other choice but to sue my friends for mixing a high dosage of sex drugs in my wine. That was the main reason why I acted so wild and did the unjustifiable hell thing that I would repent for the rest of my life.

It was my birthday celebration, and my friends were mocking me for still being a virgin despite my status and age. Because among our troops, I was the only virgin left.

My friends had locked me in a room several times with different women, but nothing actually happened. We would only end up having a light conversation about each other’s preferences about life without giving in to a one-night stand. I experienced having a girlfriend from those women they have locked me up with, but we didn’t last long either.

I wasn’t gay. I was celibate since the day I was born because I liked the idea of having sex or making love with the only woman I would want to spend the rest of my life with, and that would only be my future wife.

I would like to reserve myself for that special someone who was destined for me. But above these things, I was not expecting that my life would change so much after my friends brought such a gorgeous woman into my pad one night…

After sauntering out from my room and before I went downstairs, I saw my friends gathering in the living room. Various chips, cigarettes, wine bottles, and glasses were dispersed on the small glass table at the center. Whenever they were here, they were always feeling at home to the point that they even knew my passcode no matter how many times I changed it.

Excited to reach them as soon as possible, I jumped from the last three steps of my staircase to the floor. When I got close to them, and after we all fist-bumped together, that was the time I noticed that there was a woman unfamiliar to me. She wasn’t any of my friends’ girlfriend. She was sleeping peacefully on the sofa, and her face was so angelic that you could not even perceive a hint of worry. Her lips were as red as cherries that seemed to be inviting even without a lip tint.

Baffled about how they were able to get this woman, I was sure that she was not a prostitute. She was unquestionably exquisite, and I felt like she was a magnet drawing me near as I stared at her. I couldn’t look away as if my eyes got stuck at her and my friends were no longer here in my condo.

My previous girlfriends were beautiful too, but I must admit that none of them could beat or even match the appearance of the unknown woman who was currently sleeping on the settee. Apart from her porcelain-like complexion, her beauty was indeed fascinating. I couldn’t find the right words to describe it. She had captivated me to the point that I would wish to have finally met her way long before, starting from my teenage years.

Her nose was not that pointed, but it suited her heart-shaped face. Her eyelashes were long, and her cheeks were naturally pinkish even without the slightest touch of makeup.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

I did not know how I would react to what my eyes were seeing right now. My mouth slightly parted, but no words came out. She was attracting me towards her until I couldn’t stop myself from running my fingers on her jawline area. I wanted to ask my friends who she was and where they caught her, but I wasn’t able to speak out.

“What now, bro? Did you like our birthday present to you?” Steve asked. “We’re truly sorry that we were not able to put too much effort tonight. We could have at least place her inside a red box for you to unwrap it, but there was no time.”

I swallowed one after the other because it felt like lumps would not stop from forming in my throat. Something strange moved inside my stomach too. I was literally stunned by her beauty that I didn’t know where to find my own tongue. Man! I looked like a teenager who saw his crush due to the overheating of my cheeks now.

“I knew it, dude!” Rico snapped at Steve. “Just as I thought. No doubt, he already liked this girl. Look at how he touched her face-it was full of lust! I was indeed good at choosing, didn’t I? Here, bro, you have to drink first.” He turned to me while handing me a large glass of red wine.

“Am I going to consume all of this? It’s a lot!” I complained.
