His deep, dark eyes were glistening with unshed tears. She was still alive!

“Is that really you, Natalia? I’ve been looking for you everywhere. I thought you were gone forever” Hector grasped her hand tightly. “All these years, I’ve been consumed by a profound regret and guilt whenever I thought of you. I despised myself, wishing I could just throw myself into the ocean. If I hadn’t been so cowardly back then, if I had had the courage to whisk you away from that monster, you would never have fallen from

that cliff!”

“All that is in the past now, Hector.” Natalia’s tears fell as she smiled at him, opening her palm. “Look at me, I’m fine, aren’t I? I’ve been doing well these past few years How about you?”

Looking at the woman who had been twining around his heart, Hector could no longer suppress his longing, he stepped forward and embraced Natalia tightly. “I’m not fine. I’m not fine at all! Every time I thought of you plunging into the icy, dark water, I was so depressed. The regret and guilt were tearing me apart! But thank god you’re back, Natalia. Thank you for coming back. Thank god for letting us meet again, I feel so blessed“”

Natalia was held tightly in Hector’s arms. His tears dropping onto her shoulder moved her to tears. Some emotions could transcend life and death, surpassing time.

The bystanders confirmed their guess and started cheering. “See, I told you they’re a couple who just reunited after a long separation.”

“Indeed, a great match!”

“Kiss! Kiss!”

The crowd’s cheering got louder and louder, causing both Hector and Natalia to blush. Hector let go of Natalia and quickly packed up his canvas, turning to the crowd. “Yes, this is the woman I’ve been longing for, and now she’s finally here with me. Thank you all for your compliment!”

Natalia, afraid of any misunderstanding, quickly explained, “No, it’s not what you think…”
