Synopsis
They say the eyes are windows to the soul, but for Ethan and Ruth, they are a mirror of a past they can’t explain. Ethan is drowning in the wreckage of a failed life, struggling to stay afloat for his son. Ruth is a woman silenced by grief, trapped in a marriage that feels like a prison. They are strangers in a crowded school fair until one look changes everything. It isn’t just attraction; it’s a violent, soul-aching recognition. As they are drawn together by a force they cannot name, the echoes of past lives begin to bleed into their reality. They once shared a love so intense it left a scar on time itself. But every time Ethan and Ruth reach for each other in the present, the world around them begins to fracture. Is their love a second chance granted by fate, or is it a recurring storm they were never meant to survive? To find the truth, they must uncover the secret buried forty years ago—before history claims them once again.

Chapter 1 - Prologue

"Eyes don't lie." I wasn't really sure what this means, but when I saw you for the very first time, I knew. I knew those eyes of yours were trying to say something. They were trying to tell me a story. A story that our mind, our heart, our body didn't know, but our soul and this universe did. It was our story. It was always our story that this universe was trying to tell. Every time we met, I felt like I knew you. I wasn't wrong, I always knew you because I loved you. I loved you so much that my soul was never able to forget you. I knew I wanted to tell you something, you were never a stranger to me. It always felt like I knew you and you know what? I know you. Throughout my entire existence, there has always been a feeling of emptiness within me. A void that I could never quite fill. I searched endlessly, yearning for something that I could not name.

And then, I found you. You were the missing piece of my soul, the one who completed me in ways I never thought possible. You, Ethan, you showed me the true meaning of love. You taught me how it feels to be truly and deeply in love without even expressing with words. Thank you for loving me quietly like no one else ever could. Even before I knew you, my heart belonged to you. And in this life and the next, my love for you will endure for all eternity. You were my heart, my lover, my friend, my everything. Thank you for giving me everything that I never knew I needed, but now I realize how much I needed it all. Even though we didn't end up together, every moment with you was worth it. I was genuinely happy whenever I was with you. Now, I understand that I never truly knew what happiness was before meeting you. I loved you from the moment I laid eyes on you. I fell for you instantly, even though I knew you weren't mine. I just wanted to be by your side from the moment we met. I loved you with every breath I took, even before I truly knew you. But fate is more powerful than love. Even if we can't be together, you'll always be in my memories.

And memory never disappears, it is pierced in our soul. I will keep your memory and carry it with me into the next life. So when you return to me, I will remember you and we will have more time together. More time to express how deeply I have always loved you. In my next life, I hope we cross paths once more. I long for the chance to fall in love with you again, to experience true happiness once again. I promise, i will surely find you, no matter when or where you are, we will definately meet again. I will come and find you and will tell you how much I always loved you. Perhaps in next life. Let's meet again, let's fall for each other again, let's feel love for each other for the first time again, let's be together again. I will wait for you, Ethan. I will always wait for you because you are the reason why I want to live in this world again. I just want to be by your side once again. Thank you for coming into my life, thank you for everything. I love you, I love you a lot. You better be prepared because I am going to come looking for you in my next life. Goodbye, until we meet again!

Your love
