(Not) Third Person

"Our relationship is quite here, Athena."

I gasped at the words of the man sitting right beside me, whose shoulder I was currently using to lean on.

I raised my head and changed my position to face him.

"Why?" I murmured slowly, while looking fixed on his handsome face between the dimness of the night.

For a moment I heard no answer from him, just a long breath that fused with the whirr of the night wind.

"Because actually .. I already have a wife and now she's pregnant."

Like a bolt of lightning, his confession really jolted me. Until then feel pain and pain that radiates to all the spaces in the heart.

Alexandre Kendrick Demitry, the man I've been in a relationship with for the last year, who I thought was single and loved only one, turns out.

Without me I asked for tears to pool and drip on both cheeks, and not long after my sobs broke the silence between us.

"I'm sorry, Athena."

Her voice still sounded melodious and soothing, though it now contained thousands of needles that pierced every inch of my feelings. Her hands were still the same warm, gently rubbing my cheeks soaked in tears. Ah, I fucked this in front of him. But, the tongue is still mute also to curse or just ask for more explanation.

"I don't really want this to happen either. I love you so much, but on the other hand I love him too. I can't sacrifice marriage for our relationship. There's been a sacred promise I ever made to her, so___"

"Enough!" I screamed loudly even with trembling.

What else could I hear, he was just flattering and defending his wife, to justify his attitude that was currently dumping me. Was it in his eyes that I was just a statue that had no heart?

"Athena."

"If it's the one you love, then why did you come near me? Say love and promise this? Am I just your fucking vantage point, huh?" I answered still in a high tone.

Everything he said was so emotionally draining, and I couldn't control myself. I love him too much, which is why the pain is so deep now. But even like this, he still doesn't understand. So mean.

"He used to love his career. I don't care at all about wanting to have children, even though our marriage has been running for seven years. Five years I waited patiently, but he stayed on his selfishness. And so, I thought about cheating. Until finally getting to know you and getting in touch with you. Two months ago, he decided to quit his job. He is also willing to have children. And .. now that she's pregnant, that's why we have to end, Athena."

A long explanation that again contains a knife, further slicing the heart that is now no longer formed. Crumpled, smashed melted not because of. Somehow later I can make it whole again, I think this wound is too deep to heal.

Angry, disappointed, and somehow what other feelings are mixed, which is clear my chest to the point of tightness, even breathing just as if stinged. Until I boldly call him 'Kendrick' and remove the term 'Papa' which I have always pinned for him, as a call dear.

Our age difference is indeed quite far, he is 35 years old, while I am 22 years old. But even so, I love him so much, so fascinated by his good looks that are not inferior to men like me.

"Athena! I'm sorry." He followed me to stand up.

"Enough! Don't call my name and don't touch me! We're over, as you wish. We are now only strangers who are not bound by any feelings. So, save your fake apologies! I don't need it!" I snapped while clasping his hand that almost grabbed my face. Perhaps, he understood that I was in a mess right now.

But Kendrick doesn't want to give up. The proof, now he was not only touching, but also embracing my body tightly, until there was no room to move.

"Deliver!" I shouted while struggling, trying to get away from him. I don't want to be hugged by him anymore, even though I admit that I still miss him.

"Pacify yourself, Athena, this is not what I want" he whispered, holding my nape.

Then I shut up. Meronta, my strength lost far, while responding kindly, I no longer want to. This disappointment has reached its maximum limit, it is not easy for me to get along with him again.

"I'm sorry, Athena. I still love you, but circumstances force me to leave you. Please don't be like this, I can't see it. I want you to always smile, Athena."

Kendrick's whisper makes my tears flow more. Still in love he said? Want me to always smile she said? Did he forget who made me this way?

"Enough! Stop talking nonsense, I'm sick of hearing it!"

With a single jolt, I was finally able to let go of Kendrick's embrace.

Without hesitation I stepped back, away from him who was still fixated while looking at me.

Not wanting to say anything more, I turned around and left. However, not far away from my feet stepped, he spoke again.

"What I said just now wasn't bullshit, Athena. I love you, but__"

I cut him off immediately, "But the circumstances are compelling? Heh, that's ridiculous. From the beginning you should have been aware that this day was going to happen, but you chose to move forward. That is, there is no sincerity in you, neither for me, nor your wife."

"I will not force you to believe in this love of mine, for the proof is that I can only hurt you. But, Athena, one thing you should know, I often ask God to unite us without hurting my wife. And yes .. I wish that time really existed."

Seriate...

Chapter two go there yaa🥰
