‘Ha.......’
Zahid stared into the pitch-black cave with dry eyes.
As if beckoning them to follow, a narrow stream trickled away into the darkness.
Funnily enough, the first emotion that arose in that moment wasn’t fear or sorrow—but emptiness.
‘To think I’d lose to you.......’
The ‘you’ Zahid referred to was Rosie’s first love, the one he had been fighting against since childhood.
That unknown person Rosie saw through him, the one she remembered every time she spoke to him.
There had always been parts of Rosie’s behavior that didn’t quite make sense.
From the beginning, she had suddenly sought him out, declared her feelings, and proposed an engagement. And despite him only giving her curt responses, she had poured her affection on him.
‘He must be connected to that guy.’
He hadn’t dared ask in more detail—afraid that doing so might destroy what little they had now, or stop her from expressing affection altogether.
He had tried expressing himself a few times, but each time Rosie fell silent, and it only made him more certain he shouldn’t pry.
