It's Always Been You

Betrayal by friend feels like betrayed by own self

I was rushing to the stairs as soon as I arrived at the very familiar white and blue building. My brain was not working properly..
How can he do something like that? There must be some misunderstanding.. - I thought to myself.

When I finally arrived at the door, I saw it was unlocked and half opened. I slammed the door angrily and saw the main culprit of this whole situation.. He was standing all dressed up in the middle of the room while holding his phone. I tried to control myself. Korn was definitely shocked to see me there.

"I will call you later Mae khab". He put the phone on the table and stared at me, "Dean.. You? here?" he asked.. as if nothing happened.

"How could you do that to nong? Do You know what he has gone through for the past two weeks because of you? I cannot believe what I have just heard.. Tell me it's not the truth! Tell me it's just a misunderstanding Korn!"

I was shaking vigorously.. and was praying he would say something else about it..

But instead of his usual pretty smile.. Korn gave me a reply with his cold voice, that I still find hard to believe.. "What you have heard is true. We broke up. And it's for our own good."

This bus**** , I felt the urge to punch him right then and there, but somehow restrain myself for the sake of our friendship.
😤😤😤

"It's you who broke up with him.. don't say it's for both of you. How can you be so selfish like this Korn? What's wrong with you? The person I know.. my childhood buddy, my one and only best friend.. can never do something like this! And this is not about anyone but your very own boyfriend!

Your first love. Your everything.. For whom you were ready to leave the rest of the world Korn.. Just because your family didn't want you to be together with him, doesn't mean that you can run away from your responsibilities like this!"

"what about my responsibility towards my family? They should be my first priority, shouldn't they? I don't want to upset them. It will be better for him if he can forget about me."

"Forget about you? You know he cannot even think to forget about you! If you wanted to be this much good boy for your family , why did you even involve nong in your life huh? You always knew your family was never going to accept him. But you made promises to him, to be together, to fight for him, in front of my freaking eyes Korn!"

"Enough dean! I have taken the decision already. If possible, find a boyfriend for him. He is still so immature, unable to take care of himself. I guess he can never be independent.. Still so childish.. That's why he acted like that when I told him to break up with me.

It was so embarrassing. All the people in the café were watching us, I don't understand why he was begging like that! How immature. But I still do care about him. That's why I am telling you to find someone else for him.

Now please if you excuse me, I need to meet someone tonight, so I need to get ready. My family has chosen this girl for me whom I am meeting tonight. I need to look good. Don't want to stress out more about this matter. Dean, I have moved on. I hope my best friend will understand me."

Although it was an air conditioned room, I felt sweaty and disgusted at that moment. I felt I never knew this person in front of me. The pain, the guilt, the anger everything was telling me to hit him hard, until he regrets his decision. For him I sacrificed this much??..

Before I could stop myself I found my right hand just flew in the air and a strong and clumsy punch landed on Korn's left cheek. He was not ready and stumbled backwards with shock and pain. I grabbed his collar and tried so hard not to punch him again.
