In the Land We Own - The Man Who Stole My Heart

II

After I got better from COVID during that time, you came over and picked me up to drop me off in a mall.

On the way, you looked pale and distraught. You were depressed and you were always energetic, life of the party sort of man. 

Your energy completely changed, and so did your aura. No idea if this is a thing or if is it just a normal phase like everyone goes through when they are feeling down, but this one was saddening to see.

You were also calling someone. A woman's voice. It didn't sound like your wife's voice because I am familiar with the tone of her voice and the way she called you.

Every time when she called you, she shouted and yelled over the phone and it was so embarrassing that I got to witness it while you were there being depressed. I felt terrible for you at that time. No wonder you complained to me about her. You...the man that saved my life while your wife giving you a shitty time breaks my heart even today.

She reminded me of my mother. How she treated my poor father. No wonder he cheated on her. Served her right. I am sorry mother. But anyway, she forgave my father in the end.

Although I did cry because you led me on before, I only cried because there's nobody who could treat me the way you did to me. At least the good part. I told you that I once dreamt about a man like you before.

Before everything happened between us. I felt utterly useless and didn't give a damn about life until you showed up.

You brought my spirit back. It is like I am back from the dead.

When you hung up over the phone in the car, I tried to lighten your mood a bit. Well, at least I tried to soothe you since you didn't look that well back then.

You managed to smile and pointed at a goat near the hills while passing by. I was happy that you broke into a smile again.
