A life of two people entwined together with secrets hidden in the past. Will love be able to conquer over the dark truth.
Frank pulled her to him and looked deep in her eyes and said, "Why do you do this when it troubles you as much as it troubles me. Why do you run away from me?"
Geisha pulled away, unable to answer.
As is he could not bear to be apart from her, Frank reached out desperately for Geisha again and pleaded, "What is it that keeps you away from me? What is tormenting you my love? You do not have to fight this battle alone. Tell me and I promise I will see to the problem. Don’t you have feelings for me anymore? Is that it? "
Frank felt as if tons of questions were bubbling within him and that this may well be his last chance.Geisha knew that her time was up. If she stayed a minute more she would give in and would never let go. She looked away and said one single word that crushed his heart to pieces. She said
" Yes" A tear slid down her peach like cheeks like a pearl filled with pain. It tore at her heart, but she knew she had to be strong. Frank looked deep into her eyes once more, as if he was searching for the lost love within her, one last time. Like an image, he wished to capture forever in his mind. Then he turned and walked away without a backward glance.
Your words leave me wanting to know what secrets they hold. You have injected just enough emotion and facts to make us ask!
It is very good, and I look forward to reading more!! My favorite line:

Its lacking in a hook, this being the first thing a reader see's of a novel , your prolouge is what draws a reader in, makes them wonder and want to read on. Here it is a story in itself there's nothing to call desperatly for any advance. I dont find myself asking why and you have to make the reader, you have to give you reader a reason to read on , but it almost feels like this story is already over

Holy crap that was great.
So many questions bound through my head, I found this really fascinating.
You did a great job, because I assure you, that doesn't seem like a first try! cx
Also, I think I can see it from Geisha's side. Letting go of the one you love is a hard thing.
But for Frank, I feel a ton of things.
How often an unrequited love has erupt. Truly, a painful emotion to experience.
nothing a person would feel worse than feeling unwanted by the one they love, i pity on Frank and i wonder, if she is the one who chose to finish the relation between them, she has deeply hurt him, why was she the one to cry? women are really still a mysterious book for men up till now!
I feel that, emotionally, it has potential to move a reader in the desired direction. Personally, I felt anguish for both characters and for the reader that must try to ignore the phrasing. It's clear what you are trying to say but, as others have mentioned, it needs a serious rewrite to improve the grammar. For example, "Frank held, her his hands on her hips"... what on earth is this?! I know you see it in your mind's eye as you (try to) write it but it's just not coming out in a way that makes sense. Worse, it's the very first sentence. You need to sharpen that first sentence. It's the "hook" that brings the reader into the rest of the scene. The way that you say it is like a promise to the reader that you will keep if they continue reading. And you want them to continue reading I'm sure. Good work but keep at it. :)
