Before writing about the story that I made myself, I first chose a beautiful and interesting painting, namely a painting with the theme "Noche estrellada sobre el Ródano" or in English
starry night above rhone, an artwork sourced from link

I was attracted by the painting and its color composition, which looks warm and cozy. I also made this painting a source of inspiration for my story today.

*"Noche estrellada sobre el Ródano"
link

Anna, an adult woman with her beautiful brown eyes, stands frozen on the edge of the rhone that divides the city where she lives. It was clear from the suit he was wearing he was an established female executive. Her clothes look trendy and luxurious, her make-up is also appropriate, not tacky but classy. The night sky looks beautiful with glowing stars.

People around rhone seem to really enjoy this night, especially the sprinkling of stars in the sky, adding to the atmosphere of the night being warm and romantic for couples who are in love.

But tonight's beautiful atmosphere around the rhione, only brings sadness in anne's heart she feels sorry why she came to this place again. A place full of beautiful memories as well as memories that make his heart hurt and sad. Now he must again remember and sink into a deep longing for his lost love story.

Back in this place he always spent time with his girlfriend "Richard" the man with curly hair and athletic body, the warmth of his demeanor and his shady eyes and his trademark smile had been able to melt *anna's heart. His kindness and affection for Anna made him comfortable. 2 years they made love, shared joys and sorrows even though sometimes they fought but it never lasted long, because Richard knows best how to melt anna

But now all that was just a memory, there wasn't much he could do. The selfishness of his attitude makes anna have lost richard the figure that fills her days. Anna had never felt she had become as fragile as she was now. Richard's departure for almost 1 year has broken his wings. Yes, Anna has lost her spirit and her smile of happiness seems to fade. Since Richard left

Flash back
That night in the same place, but in a different atmosphere, the night sky was so gloomy above the rhone that it even rained lightly adding to the gloomy atmosphere. When Richard asked her permission to go away for 2 years for work and family matters, her parents were on another continent. Anna was very surprised. Even though *Richard tried to convince her that they would stay together and he would come back for Anna. But for Anna it was impossible. And it's just a waste to have a long distance relationship. All possibilities can happen.

Anna did not want to be hurt, Anna was not sure and was not ready to risk them later, so she chose to just end their relationship, Richard's departure to another continent along with the end of their love. Even though his girlfriend didn't want to accept his decision, and promised to come back again for Anna. But Anna had already made up her mind at that time. To forget Richard and kill his love.

After Richard's departure, he immediately changed his cellphone number, he even moved apartments and asked his colleagues to work so that his duties could be moved out of town, all of this to cut ties so that Richard could no longer find traces of him.

After 1 year has passed, Anna's days are only filled with work, she becomes a workaholic in order to get rid of the sorrow in her heart due to her lover being left behind. He has also tried to open up trying to meet and establish relationships with other men but to no avail. Even though many men crave Anna to be their lover. Because Anna's gentle face and charming smile have always been her own charm.

Anna has always hidden her sadness and sorrow behind her warm smile. He is always friendly to everyone. Today he returned to his city again to attend his cousin's engagement ceremony. And for some reason when walking down the city streets, he drove his car towards the rhone, and now he's re-opening his old story. A feeling of sadness was present ambush in his heart.

He could only stand where he used to be and feel the night breeze. Honestly, this longing is deeper than the pain of Richard's departure. If he could turn back time, he might just accept Richard's offer and make peace with himself. He will give Richard a chance to return to him and he will be willing to wait for Richard to return. He was also dumbfounded.

Meanwhile elsewhere
Richard stepped into his car in desperation, he had been looking for the whereabouts of his girlfriend Anna but still couldn't find her. according to the information he got earlier, Anna had moved out of town for work. Taoi he did not know exactly which city. Even though Richard really missed his girlfriend Anna for a year he had left Anna and Anna, who broke contact with him, made him feel numb. But at that time, because he had to focus on work and family matters, there was nothing he could do.

Now that he has returned and wants to keep his promise to Anna, he wants to convince Anna that he will never leave Anna again. He wanted them to get married. Wherever he goes, he will take Anna with him. But his arrival to meet Anna was unsuccessful. Where else should he look? Without realizing it, Richard drove his car around the Rhone. He remembered spending precious time there with his girlfriend Anna. He wanted to reminisce about that time. And try to get rid of his worries.

Richard also arrived, just as Anna exhaled, looking up at the night sky for the umpteenth time trying to find Richard's face there, but only the stars and the night sky accompanied Anna. Anna then turned her body to walk away, because she had been here for quite a long time. When only a few steps Anna walked in front of her she saw the figure of a man who also stepped into her place, a figure she knew very well, a figure she missed, was this a dream?? Or is he hallucinating, Anna thought.

Fate did find its own way. Richard who stepped foot was stunned when in front of him suddenly appeared the figure of the woman he was looking for anna his lover. really anna? Her hair is loose longer and his eyes were still very beautiful brownish color even at night Richard was able to see the beauty of those eyes. Anna looks prettier now Richard thought.

Richard then approached the figure of the woman he had missed for this year, the woman who always filled his night dreams. And the woman who became his motivation to finish the job faster than the target. So that he can return to this city again.

They looked at each other, gazes full of meaning and then greeted each other even though they looked awkward. Even so, Richard did not want to waste time, he immediately grabbed Anna in his arms, while saying the word sorry, at first Anna's body reacted to refuse because of her sense of prestige but finally she was dissolved in Richard's arms, while crying. These two people who have been separated for a long time miss each other under the sprinkling of stars in the night sky that illuminates the rhone. Richard also tried to calm Anna who looked emotional.

There are many words they want to say, and they want to say but let them speak in the language of the heart. And a beautiful night was a witness to their love. Fate had said that even though they were far apart, they would still find each other. Tonight Anna said "starry night above the rhone, I'm still here waiting for you". Richard also said while kissing Anne's forehead, "I know it honey that we are meant to be". Thats why I'm bqck here, to take you with me. And I'll stay here with you, by your side."

Anna's smile broke, and the two of them reunited tonight. Starry night above the rhone is a witness to their reunion in love.

thats all my simple writing to participate the contest. Many thanks to all steemian friend who have visit and read my post. Have a great day all
