Reggie: He is a caring guy and gentle to everyone. He is Muslim who fell in love with a Christian girl.
We delve into the complex world of Leiteaszia and Reggie, two individuals from vastly different backgrounds whose lives intersect in unexpected ways. They have different culture but despite the challenges they face, their connection deepens. "Veil of hearts" is a poignant tale of love, sacrifice, and self-discovery, exploring the complexities of relationships in the face of cultural norms and societal expectations. Through Leiteaszia and Reggie’s journey, we are reminded that true love knows no bounds and that sometimes, the greatest act of love is letting go.
On a good cold rainy day, Reggie is waiting for Leiteaszia at the restaurant for their date. After 10 minutes, on his chair, he saw a beautiful young lady white as sheet with brown eyes, red lips and that’s the sign that Leiteaszia has arrived.
Leiteaszia: Thank you for waiting. (She sits on the chair)
Reggie: No worries, what would you like to order?
Leiteaszia: I’ll get steak with the aroma of sweet chocolatey coffee.
Reggie: I’ll get pasta, Mr. with a sour iced tea.
Waiter: Okay Ma’am and Sir, let’s just wait for 10 minutes to serve your order, thank you.
Reggie starts the conversation to break the defeaning silence.
Reggie: It’s been a month since we started to talk, and I’m so glad that you allow me to take you out.
Leiteaszia: For how many months since we have been talking?
Reggie: It’s been 8 months now, we started to talk in October 2021 at 5 pm, and I did the first move saying ‘hi pretty girl, just wanna ask if the english of kumanta is sing?” and your reply to me was so cold, it’s just “Why?” and I continued my pick up line with “single ka ba?”
[Leiteaszia was so amazed on his answer. She can’t believe that he still remembers the day, time, and his first move.] Inside thoughts of leiteaszia: My goshhhhh, I want to scream now, he’s giving me so much butterfly in my stomach.
Leiteaszia: Oh, you still remember that ha Reggie; Of course, how can I forget the best day in my life?
(Reggie and Leiteaszia both chuckles)
Leiteaszia: I think the food is screaming to me now saying eat me now
Reggie: HAHAHA, you’re also funny in person ha
[after eating they went to parks, museum and also at the mall. The day was spent so well, they enjoyed the accompany of each other.]
At the mall, Leiteaszia bought a bag and shirts for her cousin’s birthday Reggie:
Do you need a hand? Give it to me
Leiteaszia: Oh, yes. Thank you, you’re a blessing in disguise. This bag weighs a ton.
At the parking lot, Reggie put all the things that they bought on his wheels and sent Leiteaszia on her house.
Conversation through chat
Reggie: I hope you enjoyed my accompany
Leiteaszia: I really enjoyed it, thank you so much.
Reggie: So, does that mean we can hang out again?
Leiteaszia: Hmmmm, maybe? HAHAHAHA
Reggie: Take your time thinking about our next date, no pressure. All you have to do is show up, it’s all on the house, pretty girl.
[in the months that passed they continued dating, the connection deepens]
[they keep on surprising each other when one of them is celebrating their birthday]
On Reggie’s birthday, Leiteaszia gives him a Casio watch with his favorite Jordan shoes and a fluffy customized shirt that she made for him.
Reggie: Thank you so much, I really appreciate this surprise. I am having a bad day before you surprised me, and I am so thankful to have someone like you
Leiteaszia: No worries, I just wanted to surprise you too. Do you remember the surprise you did when it was my birthday? You literally bought me a cake and bouquet in the middle of the night. It’s exact 12 am in the midnight when you surprised me, and you took me on a road trip that I really want to experience, that’s my first time being surprised by someone.
Reggie: Thank you so much, I really really appreciate this.
It’s been 3 years since they had a thing. But until now there’s still no label between them.
Leiteaszia was too shy to ask him on what is his intention because literally did the things that is only for people in a relationship. But, Leiteaszia just ignored those questions in her head because she said that it makes her happy.
One day, Reggie became so busy, to the point that he can’t reply on Leiteaszia’s message. After 1 week of being busy, Reggie messaged Leiteaszia.
[Through chat conversation]
Reggie: Hey, I am really sorry, I am so busy. Can I take you out tomorrow?
Reggie; I became so busy to the point I wasn’t able to text you
(Leiteaszia in her head: I am also busy but I find time for you)
Leiteaszia: No, It’s fine. Reggie: So? See you tomorrow? At 8 am so we have a lot of time to spend
Leiteaszia: Hmm, okay, at our favorite restaurant? Reggie: Yes. See you.
Reggie is waiting for her, and thinking if he will tell it to her or he’ll just ghost her after their date. After eating they went to their favorite date places. They spent the whole day together. Leiteaszia woke up so late, she woke up at 3 pm and did her works so she wasn’t able to open her social media accounts. At 11 pm, her works was done and she’s about to message Reggie. But she saw a post that breaks her heart into pieces that made her burst into tears.
Leiteaszia: What the h- is this for real? Why he did not mention it? We even went on a date yesterday. And, that’s not a part of the plan. He said, he’ll marry me, but what is this now? Am I not enough? He could’ve just told me that he’s getting married. Why the heck he need to keep it from me. Is he protecting my feelings in that way? He made it worst.
She was about to confront Reggie and ask him on what’s going on, but she saw another post that says that Reggie is now a married man.
(She screams so loud, ahhhhhhhhh and cry, huhuhuhu) */screams
She literally cries every day asking what’s wrong with her. Crying while regretting that she took a risk on that someone when she is aware that the guy she dated is Muslim. So, definitely he’ll marry a girl that shares the same religion as him. But then, her alter ego says “no girl, he’s just a boy, you shouldn’t cry because of him. Don’t ever think about taking your life”
It’s been 3 years now since that betrayal happens, but Leiteaszia is still at the restaurant, waiting for him to comeback and can’t still forget the memories that they shared.
Leiteaszia: He’s my first in everything. But I guess this is the last chapter of our story. In that 3 years, I sacrificed so much and loved him so much and if I’ll be given a second life, I’ll still choose him no matter what. I know he really loves me, but this time is not just for us. I already forgive you, I already forgiven myself too. I needed to build and complete myself since you broke me, but thanks to you I learned my lesson. One last time, you will always be my favorite pain, I love you but this time ain’t for us.
In that 3 years, he made her feel so loved and wanted even there's no label. Three years, ephemeral bliss of happiness yet the aftermath she lost her self. He may be felt her loved and wanted, but he also left permanent a scar. That she will always carry, whenever and wherever that reminders of him. Once in our life, we will someone who will teach us and show what love is, but it doesn't assure us that it'll be our greatest love.
As the final pages of the Veil of Hearts turned, their intertwined destinies lay silently within the tapestry of time, where the echoes of their love, both Muslim and Christian, whispered softly in the winds of memory, forever entwined yet tragically apart."
