Elena struggled with the decision. Her love for Thomas was pure, and the thought of leaving him behind was unbearable. But she knew that she couldn’t give up this chance. After many long nights of soul-searching, Elena decided to go. But as she stood at the edge of the village, waiting for the carriage that would take her away, she made one final request of Thomas.
“I will go, Thomas. But I need one thing from you. A promise.”
“Anything,” Thomas replied, his heart heavy with emotion.
“Let us be silent for one decade,” Elena said softly. “No letters, no visits, no communication of any kind. I need to know if you truly love me, if you can wait for me. I want to return after ten years, and if we still love each other, we will be together again. If not, we will both move on with our lives.”
Thomas was stunned. Ten years of silence seemed like an eternity, but there was no hesitation in his heart. “I will wait for you, Elena. Ten years, no matter what.”
And so, they parted ways.
