'Hin please! Open the door! It's not what you think!'
'Go away!'
'I am not going anywhere until you let me explain the situation. Baby please open the door and let me in.'
'You don't have to explain anything. I already heard what you've done. Now please let me be alone. I am begging you.'
'Please don't talk to me like this. You know I get anxious.'
Now he stopped talking altogether.
Great!
I banged on the door many times and after an eternity, the door opened and New came out. His eyes were swollen from all the crying and his face was smeared with tears.
'Fine. You stay here. I am leaving.' Only then I noticed a big suitcase on his side.
'Hin! Are you insane! You are going to trust P Waii's words! He is trying to get me into trouble as always. Why are you so dense!' I shouted at him angrily. After all I am completely innocent here.
He looked at me with shock and his face became pale.
'I am dense? Really? Then let me ask you this for the one last time. Did you or did you not tell Hiya that you want to sell the lake house?'
'I.....did tell him that....but....'
'So it's true. Hiya is not lying. You really want to sell it!'
'Hin...'
'If you needed money then you could have just asked me. You know you can rely on me! Why am I working hard and earning money? So that we could build a future together! Hell! I didn't even know that you were having trouble financially! You don't tell me anything!' Fresh tears started to fall from his eyes silently.
'I am not having trouble with anything babe. Trust me.' I tried to hug him but he avoided my touch. I felt anger and helplessness at the same time.
'Then why are you selling it? You know how much I love that place. I know if not for something serious you won't even think about doing that.'
'Of course I know! This is all a big misunderstanding, Hin.'
'Tay, I know I have no right to tell you not to sell it since it's your property. And I am not angry because of it. I don't care. But you love that place too. I know you do. Whenever we go there you become so happy. I am sad not just because you are selling it, I am sad because you didn't care to tell me about this.'
'Oh God! Just ....just come inside and talk to me. I am not letting you go anywhere.' I snatched that bloody suitcase from his hand. It's really heavy. He packed everything in it! So it wasn't an empty threat, you were really going to leave me!
'Tay....let me go. I don't want to hear anything else.'
I grabbed his hand and dragged him to the bedroom despite his protest. Then locked the door from the inside.
'What the hell are you doing?!' He was scowling.
'You don't love me anymore Hin.'
'What?'
'You were leaving like this. Did you forget what happens when you are not with me? I am still recovering from my past trauma. And you......you were just going to leave...'
He lowered his head and I saw big fat tears coming down from his eyes. I know he was mad at me and did everything out of rage but still it hurt like hell.
Yes, I am still suffering from some anxiety issues. I became restless whenever I couldn't see him or talk to him. I even had a panic attack once when he went to meet some clients out of the city and had to stay there for a night.. I couldn't reach him through the phone and I got all worked up. Thada had to drive me there in the middle of the night. After that incident New tries to stay with me every night. And if I had a meeting out of station or he had to go on a business trip ....well we accompany each other.
