One Out of Two!!

57. Autumn

I watched how the trees began to lose their leaves slowly one by one like a sad autumn girl. I was sad but somehow I was in peace, it was like now I have nothing to worry about. Was there anything?

I went out for a walk, it was a cold evening. I kept walking on the crunchy leaves, finding peace being alone in the autumn evening. Then I heard a voice from behind...

"I told you not to wander around alone, didn't I?" I stopped walking and looked back turning my head. I know it was Robert, he was standing behind me with a serious face. I didn't want to face him so I turned around and started again to walk.

"Anna? Just stop." I heard him but I didn't care. I continued walking at a faster pace, he came running from behind and stood in front of me blocking my way.

"Move," I uttered without looking at his face.

"No, you have to listen to me." He said looking down at me.

"No I have nothing to listen to, now move," I grunted. He tried to hold my hand by I shoved it away and stepped back. I looked at him and asked, "What do you want?"

"You." He replied so simply.

"It's over and I quit these trusting games," I told him.

"Why don't you trust me, Anna? Don't you know me?" He asked stepping close.

"I thought I know but now I realised that I don't," I confessed to him and watched him frowning.

"Don't be foolish, she's just a friend." He mumbled.

"Then why haven't you told me about her?" I exclaimed.

"It was nothing important, we hangout just like my other friends. There's nothing between us and mostly it was not even a secret." He explained.

"Yes it was not at all a secret, I'm the one who is blind and you played it well," I mumbled.

"Played? What do you mean?" He asked seriously.

"I don't want to talk with you," I grumbled.

"Do you think I played with you? You better stop comparing me with your ex-boyfriend. Not everyone is going to do the same shit." He responded.

"Why don't you trust me? Even after doing all those things for you, I couldn't gain your trust. It's certainly not my problem it is yours." He said pointing a finger at me.

"You have trust issues and you can't blame me for that. She's only a friend and I have zero interest in her and now you better stop assuming things over me." He grunted making my mouth shut.

"You tell me what have you done for me? Did you ever try to love me? Did you ever try to understand me? Even though I stayed loyal." He said.

"I told you, if I really wanted to just have fun I would have and I don't play games in the name of Love." He said furiously. He was so mad at me, all I could do was glare at him with a frown.

"Speak now? This is what I get for being loyal? I tried to stay by your side, I tried to take away your pain, I gave you my shoulder to cry, I was always there to hold you... Did you forget all that? Did you forget everything I did for you?" He came close shoving me by grabbing my shoulders.

I honestly couldn't find a word to say because he was on point.

"I loved you ignoring everything, I loved you even though all just do is to cry over a guy." He mumbled and he saw me frowning seriously.

"What? All you have done is to cry about Peter, that's what you did all these months." He grunted.

"Nevertheless I still chose to love you over everything." He groaned.
