TEARS
CHAPTER 62
TEARS
Ariella was about to close the door but Anton stopped her and went inside.
“What are you doing here? Get out! Leave my room!”
Anton didn't obey her, instead, he hugged her so tight.
Ariella was unable to move and was shocked, so she pushed him away.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“My wife, let's go home,” he softly said and held her hand.
“No. You better go before I call the security.”
She removed his hand and walked away from him but Anton still followed her.
"My wife, please-"
"Don't call me 'my wife'!" she shouted and faced him. "How dare you call me 'my wife'. While you are with her, do you remember me? Have you ever thought about me, how I would feel? No!”
"I am so sorry," that's all he can say.
"Sorry? Sorry is only for the mistake you didn't mean, not for the thing you keep doing!”
“P-please-”
"Get out, Anton. I don't want to see your face anymore."
"Please, let's go home. Let us fix this. I promise-”
"That f*cking promises again! Stop making promises if you can't stand by your words! You hurt me so many times, I endured it. You broke me already. You are the one who is making a way to lose me. I can't take it anymore, Anton. I am so tired, to be honest. I am emotionally, mentally even physically tired!”
"Please, my wife. Listen to me first.”
He approached her, and Ariella didn't push him away. She sat on the bed and so he did.
"We can fix this, my wife. Just give me some time to speak.”
Ariella wiped her tears away with her head lowered.
“We can't fix this. Even if we fix it, we will never go back to what we used to be before," she said.
"What are you talking about? Stop saying that. We can fix it, just give me another chance.”
She looked at him, directly through his eyes as if saying something or searching for something.
"Another chance?" she asked, and then laughed in annoyance. "Chance to fool me one more time? Another chance to put me in pain again? Another chance for another heartbreak?”
"N-no, my wife. Just give me another chance. I will prove myself-”
"Again? That's what you said before. We can't fix this. We can't save this relationship anymore. You already ruined me not just once, Anton. Not just once, but twice, and I know you can do it again and again. I am so tired. I'm so tired of you."
After saying those things, she left. She doesn't care even if Anton follows her. All she wants to do is to avoid him.
All she knew was Anton would not find her there, but she was wrong. Maybe Anton tracked her device and her location that's why he found her.
"My wife, please stop."
She heard him calling her and telling her to stop but she didn't listen to whatever he said.
"Please, my wife. Stop. Let's talk about it.”
She was at the main door and the security was there so she told the security to block his way.
"Don't let him follow me," she told him.
"Okay, Ma'am," he replied.
She was already out of the building, while Anton was still there. The security stopped him so she was able to leave.
"Please, she's my wife. I just want to talk to her. Please," he begged.
"I'm sorry, Sir. I'm just following her demand. You can't follow her. Just wait a little moment.”
"But she's my wife! F*CK!”
"Just follow the rules, Sir, or you might end up in jail."
He didn't force what he wanted and just watched Ariella ride in a taxi.
When the taxi left, he was only able to leave the building.
He immediately followed the taxi but he did not remember which taxi Ariella took.
Ariella is currently in the restaurant. There, Anton wouldn't find her. She also turned off the GPS and locations so that Anton could not track her. In that case, she can avoid him and think properly.
She's just alone in the restaurant because it was actually closed, but since the owner of the restaurant was her friend, she allowed her.
She's silently sipping fruit juice with so many thoughts when her friend sat on the chair in front of her.
"Would you like to share your problems with me? I will listen. Even if we are not that close as friends, I have ears to listen and mouth to give you some advice,” she said.
"Uhmm..."
"Come on. Don't hesitate to tell me. You have nothing to worry about. It is obvious that you are not okay. You will feel less if you tell someone about your problem."
Ariella took a deep breath first as she prepared herself to speak.
“What would you do if your husband couldn't move on from his ex-girlfriend?” she asked, which confused her.
She replied, “Uhm…well…I will confront my husband if that is the case. You know, he was married to me already, so that means he loves me. But if I found out that he's not totally moved on, I mean he can't forget his ex-girlfriend, I will confront him because that can lead to separation of a couple, of us.”
She just agreed to what she said. There are so many things in her mind that she wants to tell her so that she can breathe normally somehow.
“Oh, wait … Is that the reason why you are not okay?” she asked. She nodded. “Oh, that's a big problem, actually. What happened?”
“At first, I found out that he was dating her, talking to her secretly on Instagram. We fought, but I forgave him and gave him another chance. I really want to save our relationship. It occurred to me that it's just part of ups and downs in a relationship, so we became okay. But after a week, or weeks, he suddenly changed in an instant. He has no time for me. Then, just yesterday, we accidentally saw each other, me alone, he was with her. I was shocked, so I left but….he didn't even follow me to stop and talk to me somehow despite what I saw.”
Her friend couldn't help but be worried about her.
“He broke me twice,” she added and couldn't stop herself from crying.
Her friend handed her the tissue so she could wipe her tears.
“Oh, that's so heartbreaking. If I am in your situation, I'd rather leave him than stay in that kind of relationship.”
She suddenly looked at her when she said those.
“How could he do that to you? You're such a beautiful woman,” she sweetly said, and then wipes her tears using the tissue. “You already have a child? You know… You can find someone better who will love you forever, from the very start up to the end. If you stay in that kind of relationship, you will lose yourself. You will always end up crying because of him, because of the heartache. I know that kind of man can't love you truly, with loyalty, pure and genuine love. He can't forget his ex-girlfriend, that means…she's still in his heart even if he has you already. He still loves her, the love he can't give to you.”
She couldn't help but let her tears fell while listening to her advice.
“Do you have a child with him?” she asked, so she looked at her, a meaningful look.
“I am pregnant,” she replied.
“Ohh… that's a problem.”
“He didn't know that I am pregnant. I just found out yesterday that I am pregnant with our first ever baby. I was actually going to surprise him yesterday….”
“It's hard to raise a child without a father. I'm sure you don't want your baby to have a broken family. But it is also not wrong to raise your child alone than to stay in that kind of situation. The more you stay, the more heartache you will experience. It's not wrong to be a single mom.”
