Tristin stared at her door. She ran to open it thinking that Chris is still there, but when she went out, nobody is there. And a plane just took off in the sky. Tristin watched the plane and wept. She could’ve opened the door earlier and at least say goodbye to him. She is so mad at herself that she fell off her knees. She felt something tugging by her legs. It was a letter.

She hastily opened it and recognized Chris’s writing. The letter was from Chris, he must’ve left it when went off. She read it with her eyes full of tears.

Tristin,

I am so sorry for everything I have done. I know this hard for you but you must know it is hard for me as well. I never wanted to leave you. You know that I have always and truly loved you and it will never change.
This choice is very hard for me. I am sacrificing my own happiness for other people. I don’t know if this is the right path for me, but I will stick to it and give my family the best and what they deserved. I am their last chance of living peacefully for the rest of their lives, not just their lives, but that might include their grandchildren’s children’s future. I might feel alone and sad, but I will do this for my family and for my parents. They entrusted me to do this, and I will do it with much pride and honor.

These occurrences might be a test for us. If we are meant for each other, we will cross one’s path again. We might see each other again and realize that we cannot live without each other. This may be a challenge of our love for each other. I have loved you the day we met at your Grandfather’s field, and I was giving up on my love for you when I went to college, but you were sitting next to my table at the Starbucks, and that changed everything. My love for you bloomed again. The days we spent together made my love for you stronger. And this event may not stop us loving each other, if we are meant together.

And if we are not meant together, find another man who is capable of loving you more than I do. Find a man who can take care of you for the rest of your life and give you happiness that you what deserve. I may live my life alone because of the sacrifice I’ve done, but you should not sacrifice your own happiness for my own sake.

I am not entirely sure what will happen to me after this. But I will do the best that I can to be what my parents expect of me. I will grant their last wish before they die, and my success will be a reward of the sacrifices I have done in my life.

My love for you will never be lost. My love for you will always be the same. I love you, Tristin, and I hope you felt that when we were together.

Je t’aime, Tristin. Et Au revoir.

With love,
Chris

After reading this, Tristin cried her heart out. Chris loved her, that he is willing to sacrifice his love for her so she will find happiness in another man’s arm. But Tristin thought that she couldn’t do this. Yet, she does not know what will lie ahead in her future. Will be with Chris or another man who might love her better than Chris does?

Tristin read again the letter. The letter is full of Chris’s love. The love he had since the day they met. It never changed up to this moment. Tristin cried till she fell asleep.
