"because i've a boyfriend"
i said with my eyes closed because i didn't want my boyfriend to feel any kind of injustice. even though i fell out of love, he still had the title of my boyfriend and, i did care for him as the closest friend of mine. i didn't want him to feel down, he never deserved to be.

his dark brown orbs shone as our eyes met. the unbelievable reaction on his face made me even more guilty of what i did.

"what? that's cheating! " he said the most hurtful words, that i wasn't ready to hear and accept. but, whatever he let out was actually kind of true.

"no, that's not cheating. i just realised that i started falling for you. i never wanted to be this cruel but i'm helpless. " i cried out being helpless.

"you should confess to him about the truth," he said calmly while i just stood there feeling like a criminal.

"i need some time for that. " he nodded to my statement as i wiped off my tears.

with that we both separated our ways. i felt bad for the both of the boys, as because of me they have to go through this, especially my boyfriend.

i opened the door as i noticed that it wasn't locked. i realised that my boyfriend was still in home, waiting for me.

opening the door as i entered the house, i noticed him sleeping on the couch while cuddling a pillow in his arms. i sighed knowing that i made him wait for this much.

he dwelled for me but i was out with someone else. i should spill the beans to him soon.

i went near him to wake him up but he was fast enough to open his dreamy eyes. his eyes gleamed as he looked at me.

"oh my god! welcome back! " once again, i was pulled into his arms.

"when you're away, i made a cake for us and slept while waiting for you. " he pouted again at me, maybe expecting me to kiss him but it was more than hard for me.

"i'm sorry i made you wait. " i apologised as my eyes made their way to the ground, gazing down with full of guilt. the guilt of not loving him, the way he did.

"hey, it's okay! now, let's cut the cake and make a wish before our anniversary ends," he said as he rushed towards the kitchen to bring the cake and candles.

he arranged everything in front of me and positioned the cake on the table with candles on the top of it. switching off all the lights and just burning all the candles, he came to me with a smile and, love and affection twinkling in his eyes.

"let's make a wish! " he said as he lit the candles, which were on the top of the cake and joined his hands abruptly with his eyes closed tight. he looked so desperate for the love which was gone so long.

i even closed my eyes and joined my hands to pray for him.

"you know what i wished for? " he asked as i shook my head.

"as always, i only pray you'll never leave me behind because it'll be so hard for me to live without you. may we last longer than ever and forever. "
