I get dressed after I wake up and go for a walk in the park. The sun had fully set by the time I got there but its so peaceful that I feel like I can get lost in the darkness. I find a bench to sit on and listen to some soft rock songs with my earphones, they always soothe me when my mind is too scattered. The night sky is so clear and with no one around the only sound I can hear is the song playing and the wind blowing.
I hear whimping sound down the trail and I see a dog there though it looks like its in pain. Before I have a chance to react someone dashes past me and goes over to help the dog, I guess it's his owner. I'm alone once again and now everywhere is silent, I can't push this away further... I have to get some answers before it's too late. I pick up my phone and text Ken as I'm walking home.
---Let's meet tomorrow at XX bar, 7pm. I text it to him and walk back home in silence.
Time passes by so quickly the next day, I have to get ready to meet him at the bar but a lot of thoughts going through my mind. Should I ask what happened, why it happened, or should I end it immediately I see him. Which answer would bring me closure?
I arrive at the bar a little over an hour late because of the traffic and I enter to see him sitting at the counter. As I start to walk towards him I realize that he isn't alone, or atleast that's how it seems. The person sitting beside him seems to be flirting with him, while handing him a drink. Ken smiles softly at him and caresses his face before pulling him in for a kiss. The kiss is so passionate that I'm left dumbstruck. All I can think about is that I have to get out of here and quick.
Did he want me to see this? Is this his answer. "Atleast have the decency to tell me to my face", I say under my breath as I watch him get pulled out of the bar. When I can move again I immediately take a taxi home.
---Let's break up.
---I will give you a week to find a place and then come and take your things, till then do not come back to my house.
---You do not belong there anymore.
I exit the taxi, trying to hold the tears in but it doesn't work. They drop the minute I close the door to my apartment, and I fall to the ground crying. I don't think I was going to let what he had done to me go, but I wanted some answers. To think Ken would cheat on me immediately after, I guess I meant nothing to him afterall. I get a photo message from Ken. I open it to see 3 pictures of the both of them.
Tears of Frustration, tears of Anger, tears of Pain, I had no idea which it was but it didn't stop. I lay there on the floor by my door, crying for hours till I fall asleep right there.
"Let's go out for lunch", I hear a voice that snaps me back to reality. I look up to see Nathan's face up close which startles me quite a bit.
"It's not lunch time yet sir", I say and step back, putting some space between us.
"I own this company, can't I have lunch when I want to. And right now I want to have lunch with you", Nathan says smiling and staring at me eagerly waiting for my answer.
"I've said this before, we aren't eating lunch together anytime soon. I would push your schedule back to give you time for your lunch."
FREEDOM???!!!!
