@ilovelenamiuuuu: Lena and Miu were only twenty-one when they fell in love. But their families didn’t accept their relationship. “You’re too young,” Lena’s parents said. “You don’t even know what you want yet.” Then they made their decision. They were moving to the United States, and Lena had to go with them. “For good.” That night, Lena and Miu sat together in the park, both knowing what was coming. “So this is goodbye?” Miu whispered. Lena nodded, tears falling from her eyes. “I don’t want to leave you.” “Then don’t.” “I can’t.” Miu held her hand tightly. “What happens to us?” Lena looked at her for a moment before holding out her pinky. “When we’re thirty…” she whispered. Miu looked at her. “We come back?” Lena smiled through her tears. “We come back and get married.” Miu immediately hooked her pinky around Lena’s. “Promise?” Miu. “Promise.” Lena. They hugged, not knowing it would be their last. At first, they stayed in contact. They called every night, messaged constantly, and celebrated birthdays through video calls. But after Lena moved to the United States, things slowly changed. Different time zones. School. Work. Life. Their conversations became shorter. Then less frequent. Until one day, there was nothing. Years passed. Miu built the life she always dreamed of. She became successful, independent, and happy. Almost. Because there was still one thing missing. Lena. Then came Miu’s thirtieth birthday. Her friends threw her a celebration filled with laughter, food, and embarrassing stories. Eventually, everyone left. Miu sat alone on her couch, staring at her phone. 11:59 PM. Nothing. 12:00 AM. Her birthday was over. Miu smiled sadly. “Thirty…” She remembered their promise. When we’re thirty, we come back and get married. She laughed quietly. “Lena probably forgot.” She shook her head. “Of course she did.” The next morning, Miu was preparing for work when her phone buzzed. Unknown number. Unknown: Happy birthday, Miu. Sorry I’m late. My flight got delayed. Miu froze. Her heart began racing. She typed with trembling hands. Miu: Lena? A few seconds later— still no reply Miu: Is this Lena? Unknown: Yes. It’s me, Lena. Miu stared at the screen. Eight years. And suddenly, Lena was back. Lena: Can we meet? Miu’s heart filled with hope. Is she finally here to continue our story? Miu: Yes. They agreed to meet at the café where they first met. When Miu arrived, Lena was already there. They smiled at each other. “Hi.” “Hi.” They talked for hours. About their lives. Their careers. Everything they had missed. It felt like eight years had disappeared. Until Miu noticed something. Lena’s hand was resting on the table. There was a ring on her ring finger. Beside it was an envelope. Miu’s smile slowly faded. “Lena…” Lena followed her gaze. Then took a breath. “I’m getting married.” Miu’s heart dropped. She stared at the envelope. “That’s… your wedding invitation?” Lena nodded and pushed it toward her. “This is why I came back.” Miu forced a smile. “Congratulations.” “Thank you.” She picked up the invitation, her hands trembling. For eight years, she had held onto their promise. ‘When we’re thirty, we’ll come back and get married.’ And now Lena was thirty. She had come back. Just not for her. “I remembered our promise,” Lena said softly. Miu looked at her. “Then why?” Lena looked down at her ring. “Because we made that promise when we were twenty-one. We didn’t know what our lives would become.” Miu nodded, fighting her tears. “I know.” Lena reached for her hand. “I really hope you’re happy.” Miu smiled sadly. “I hope you are too.” She placed the invitation inside her bag and stood. “Thank you for coming back, Lena.” Lena looked up at her. “I promised I would.” Miu smiled through the ache in her chest. “Yes.” Miu. She paused before leaving. “You just never promised you’d come back for me.” Miu And with that, Miu walked away. Leaving Lena behind at the café where their love story had begun. And finally ended. #lenamiu #lenalalina #miunatsha #au
