Lost hopes

Heart broken...

I walked in your office, a blowing birthday cake in my hand, singing a beautiful 'happy birthday' tune...

You have been so busy in work lately. You hardly come home before 2-3am. It makes me so worried that you are not taking care of your health due to overworking.

"Kookie pls don't overwork like this.. You're gonna fall sick honey... "

"Stop nagging me. It's becoming irritating at this point... "

You have been talking so rudely to me. You jerk off my concern as if it is nothing. But you mean everything to me Kookie.

But I understand. When people are too stressed, sometimes it gets rubbed off on family members or near ones. It's fine hubby.

I have planned a big surprise for you tonight because even on your birthday, you are required to work till late. Obviously you do not know that I'm visiting your office tonight after planning a small party for the both of us.

I walk through your corridor, carrying the birthday cake, with a bunny candle burning on it. I love how your nose scrunches up like a rabbit's whenever you smile...

I hold the doorknob to enter but I stop when I hear strange sounds. It feels like someone is grunting and moaning. The noise of glass shattering on the ground. The sounds of rushed movements...

Are you in danger Kookie?? Oh no....

I twist the knob fast and enter the office to save you... Guess what, I should have worked to save my heart first....

I felt the broken shards of my heart in my chest as I saw the scene unfold before me. A semi-naked girl bent on your glass table. The buttons of your shirt undone. And you hovering over her, kissing her passionately like you used to kiss me, months ago...

"Happy Birthday Kookie... Have a good life.... Hope you two remain happy together always... "

Unlike us....

I ran down the corridor, entering the elevator and pressing the ground floor button. I had a bleak hope in my heart that you would follow me...

But my hopes are lost...

And my heart is broken...

Our marriage vows were empty and I was clinging to an already lost love...
