An Unbreakable Love

Chp.37 'The truth'

"Hana..."

And that's all it takes for the tears to roll down my face.

I wipe them with my hand and turn my head to look at him. He is standing at the door looking at me with sad eyes. By looking at his puffy eyes, it is obvious that he has cried a lot. He is in a jeans and a normal black t-shirt yet he manages to make my heart flutter. I let my eyes roam on his entire body. I would be lying if I say that I didn't miss his touch and closeness. God, I was dying to be held by him.

He slowly walks up to me but his eyes are everywhere but on me. He is avoiding eye contact with me and I know the reason. Guilt is eating him up from the inside.

No one says anything. I keep looking at him and he looks at anything but me. Until I break the silence.

" Look at me Jimin. Please." I plead to him.

 He finally looks at me but remains silent.

" Come here and sit." He sits on the bed facing me.

" Jimin please talk to me." I inch closer to him wanting to take in his warmth.

" What should I say?" He finally utters but his voice breaks at the end. " I can't even look into your eyes now. You went through all this because of me. I was about to lose you." A tear escapes from his eyes.

" Don't blame yourself." I palm his right cheek and caress it slowly. He leans into it showing that he too is craving for my touch but is controlling himself, thinking that he doesn't deserve this.

" Whatever happened, it happened. It's in the past. Let's forget about it and move forward-"

" How can we forget about it, Hana?" He says a little loudly. He looks up at me and I notice that his eyes are teary.

" How can we let it go? How can I let it go? All this happened because of me. That Z wouldn't have approached you if you weren't my wife. You wouldn't have gotten hurt if I weren't a part of your life." 

" Okay, so you think this is your fault right?" He nods. " You want to pay for your mistake?" He nods again." I take a deep breath. " Then tell me everything."

He looks at me with his eyebrows furrowed. 

" Open up to me and tell me things I don't know about. Your past, about those scars on your body, and also the secret you are hiding from me. Zade told me that you are hiding something from me. I don't know whether he was stating the truth or not but I want to hear it from you." 

Jimin was a mystery to me even after he confessed his love for me. I thought of giving him his time and space but if he wants me to forgive him for the mistake that he blames himself for, then this is what I want him to do.

He sighs with a nod and mutters an 'ok'

" My parents and I were a happy family. Going out for dinner, and spending time together, we used to do everything a normal family did and the younger me dreamt of having a family of my own. I used to believe in love and all until my mother started cheating on my father behind his back." I take his hand in mine and give it a light squeeze encouraging him to continue.

He intertwines our fingers and continues.

" My father found out and they started getting into fights. After some time my mother decided to leave him and left me with him. My father became an alcoholic and started abusing me. The scars are of the belt with which he hurt me whenever he was drunk. He also started bringing women into my parent's bedroom. I still remember the moans and grunts that I used to hear from their bedroom almost every night." My eyes start watering after listening to his past. And I am proud of him that he told me the truth finally. It must be hard to remember all those dark moments but he is doing it, for me.
