A Shelter in the Storm

Prelude

"I don't wanna be 25 minutes too late, baby." 

And then I leaned toward her initiating a kiss but, the next thing she did broke my heart. She broke it into a hundred billion pieces. I can't believe that the woman  I cherished the most, rejected a kiss from me. The guy who captured half of the women population in the world got rejected by this woman. I looked at her astounded. My heart is wounded, it made me ask, what did I do wrong? She made me question my worth. And then she said something that made me remember something.

"Really, Zouy?! After all those years that I have been by your side. You're only doing something like this when you realized that I am leaving you???! Unbelievable, you're utterly being ridiculous right now."  

"Babe, didn't you see that I was doing it for us? I was striving so hard for our future, and here I am standing right in front of you wearing the coats of success." 

she scuffed before replying, "I can't believe what fame made you Zouy, and to think that I've sacrificed everything I have for you. And yet you still neglected me. No matter how much I love you Zouy, I can't live with someone who doesn't know my value, my true worth. If you did something like those things you did back then, then how much of it will you do again in the future? I can't handle you now Zouy, you're too much for me. It's making me... I don't know anymore, you're making me feel some emotions I don't wanna feel. I don't wanna break up with you or think about leaving you. But you emptied my bottle of patience Zouy. It hurts me thinking of leaving you, I don't wanna leave you. But it's the only way I know to help myself and you, I hope we can still be friends in the future."

And after that she showed me her back and started walking away, weeping. Damn, what a total asshole Zouy Claw Garston. I can't believe I made my woman cry and gave me up, hahaha. And then it happened, the thing where the rain started to pour whenever the main character feel melancholic.

"I know the world is waiting for this wonderful news, Snow Mendoza is finally engaged to his former boyfriend. Reagan Gonzales, a 31-year-old business tycoon.  And they're both expecting a new member of their soon to be formed fam-" hindi ko na napigilan ang kamay ko sa pagbato ng unan kay Greg. What he read made me furious, wth?! I can't believe Snow chose that guy. Thinking of him makes me mad even more. I need to inhale some fresh air.

"Hey Chloe, where're you goin man?" I just ignored his annoying ass and went to my garage and opened my car door. "Make sure to come back whole, Chloe baby." ugh he annoys me so much to the point that it makes me wanna kill him.

"Stop calling me Chloe or Baby and just STFU!!!!!"  after that, I just stepped hard on my accelerator and went somewhere. Somewhere far, far from everyone. And I ended up going to the place where Snow and I used to hang out. I bitterly smiled at the thought, maybe if I choose the right decisions back then maybe Snow is in my arms right now, smiling warmly at me, watching our kids run around our yard.  Waking up beside me with her messy hair but still looked gorgeous face from our hot love-making sessions from last night. 

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" I can only shout to release my frustration. I shouldn't have chased my dreams, then maybe... then maybe... maybe my precious sweet sweet snow will still be here to wipe my tears whenever I feel miserable.  

What a pathetic man I am, I gave up my booming career to lessen my guilt. What a shameful act to do. I gave up something so precious to me for some dumb showbusiness shits. I became the man I wanted, but I failed to be the man for my Snow. And I'm thankful for Reagan for doing the things I should have done when Snow was still mine.
