Love Under the Twilight

Love Under the Twilight

London,22nd December 1937

     The railway station was so crowded that day.There were a lot of people there,who did various kinds of activities.Queuing for tickets,waiting for the arrival of the train,and so on.One of the people that looked like he was waiting for the train is a man who sat on the bench near the pillar.His face showed that he was confused that time.It was because a letter that he received last night.

     "Dear Rowan...There's something I want to talk about with you.Just the two of us.Well,in that case,let's meet in the railway station near the Scarlet Street tomorrow,before the sun sets.The place is so easy to find and I'm sure you'll not get lost.Maybe you think that this is crazy,accepting request from someone that haven't mentioned her name,but please,we have met before and I know you're a kind person.Thanks."

     That letter came to his apartment last night when he was finishing his dinner.He was so confused receiving that strange letter.At first he didn't think about it seriously and decided to go to sleep,but,he felt so curious about the mysterious sender that stated they have met each other before.Rowan tried to remember his activities recently.He was an employee in a department store that have to arrange stuffs everyday,and he didn't remember if he has met someone that maybe attracted to him or not.He felt even more confused thinking about that,but,something in his heart told him that he had to go to the railway station the next day.

     "Well,the place wasn't too far from my workplace anyway,I've made my decision and it's time to sleep."

     Time passed by,and the mysterious person hasn't come yet.Rowan felt bored waiting.It was almost twilight,and the number of people have decreased from the daylight.Rowan then got up from the bench,and took a walk around the station.The sound of the passing train joined his steps while he was walking.

     Suddenly,a young woman crashed Rowan while she was running.Her stuffs felt from her hand and Rowan helped her picking them up.That woman said sorry because she was in hurry and she didn't look the person that was walking in front of her.Until that time she hasn't looked at the person's face,but when she did so,she shocked.Then she smiled and said,

     "You come,Rowan.You finally come.I've been wating for you here since the afternoon."

     Rowan shocked.He knew this woman's face.It was her.The customer from last week that had trouble choosing her dog's food in the department store where he worked.So,Rowan helped her to choose it,and at that time they introduced their self to each other.He finally remembered.She was Felicia.Felicia Lockheart.

     "Miss...Felicia?.,Oh I know.It's you.Well,why did you ask me to go here today?Is there a problem with the dog food?.,"said Rowan.

     "Oh,it's not about that.I come here to ask about something.It maybe weird because it's so sudden,but,do you have a girlfriend,Rowan?"ask Felicia.Her face turned red.

     Rowan felt confused hearing the question,but he said,

     "Umm,in fact,I haven't had any this time.Why?"

     "So let me be one,Rowan."replied Felicia at sudden.

     The wind blew as they talked.The sudden conversation,and the last words from Felicia made Rowan surprised.At first he rejected Felicia's request,but once again something in his heart asked him to accept it.So,he decided to take the chance and from that day,they became a  new couple.They also made a promise to meet in the department store where Rowan worked on 25^th December, the Christmas Day.

     The Christmas Day came.Rowan was waiting his new girlfriend in the department store while the customers were choosing stuffs to be bought for celebrating Christmas.At that time,a customer approached Rowan to ask about the quality of the stuffs she wanted to buy.Well,she was a blonde with a slim body anyway.Before she did her will,she slipped and almost fell down,but Rowan held her body so that she would be safe.And at that time Felicia got into the scene and looked that Rowan was hugging a woman.She approached Rowan and said,

      "Rowan?What did you just do?Can I get an explanation from this?"

     Rowan shocked with the appearance of Felicia and tried to explain everything,but suddenly the store's manager came and asked Rowan to helped the customers in the other section.Rowan said to Felicia that  he would come back,and asked Felicia to wait.So Felicia waited without getting a single explanation.

     It was almost midnight,and Felicia was still waiting for Rowan to return.The customers have gone one by one,and at last,she was the only person at that floor.She looked at her watch,and after considering anything,she decided to went home.

     "Looks like I've made a wrong decision.At first I believe in you,Rowan,but now,I doubt you more.Goodbye."said her.She couldn't hold her tears anymore.

     When Rowan returned to Felicia's waiting place,all people have left.Rowan confused.He realize his fault and decided to send Felicia a letter the next day to apologize.The next day came,but before Rowan started to write the letter,a letter came to his house.He then read it as soon as possible and he was so shocked.

     "I'm sorry,Rowan.I've troubled you recently.Actually I want to be with you a little longer,but looks like it's impossible.I have made a false decision in my life,so for the next,let us be apart,because I don't want to believe anyone anymore."

     Rowan felt so guilty reading the letter.He then realized his foolishness that couldn't explain such a simple thing to a woman.Then he decided to go to Felicia's house to explain everything.

     "Felicia,please,believe me.I still love you and I can explain anything that happened yesterday.Please,it's not like you imagined."said him while walking to Felicia's house.

     But as he arrived in Felicia's house,he was told by Felicia's mother that Felicia has gone to Sydney to continue her work.Rowan stunned.He didn't know what to do anymore.So he returned home.In that confusing situation,Rowan write his feelings in a song,and he hoped  that someday if they would meet again,Felicia would forgive his mistakes,and believe in him.
