People say I'm fearless. And by people, I mean my classmates and family members.

I always talked in class without giving a bullshit to the teacher. And sometimes, I even talked back.

Even my cousins said that.

That day, me and my parents caused a huge scene infront of my dad's side relatives. My parents told me, I couldn't date Phuwin. I couldn't date guys. They said, "You are our only child and we can't let that child to be a disappointment. You will marry the girl we choose for you". Yeah, as if I'd let them. I talked back with them infront of my cousins, uncles, aunties, and grandparents.

They even tried to emotionally blackmail me and while that stupid shit worked on me since my birth, I didn't let anything effect me at that moment. And eventually, when I walked out that front door, they called me a disappointment. And I flipped them the middle finger.

That was the last time I saw them and that was also our last encounter. Nice one, right?

All my supportive cousins said I was super brave to do that.

But my "fearless" antics shattered when one "normal" 30 May, a shadow appeared. And it's still here. Although at first, it scared the living ghost out of me, now, I want it to be there forever. I want that dark shadow to follow me everywhere I go.

That 30 May was a scary night and today is just like that. Except, its morning. But it's still nail biting.

Today is the day.

Phuwin already landed. He texted me as soon as he did. It has been 10 minutes since that text and currently, I am sitting on the couch, waiting for him to come home.

"Relax, nerosa. It's gonna be fine" I look at the person speaking, my anxiety leveling down a bit.

"Can you go?" His brows furrowed at my question

"Why?" He asked

"I don't want him to see you"

"What?"

"Don't ask. Please. Go."

"Fine...Call me if anything happens and if you need me to pick you up" Saying that, he got up and left.

After the front door slammed shut, everything went silent. So silent that the only thing I was hearing was my breathing.

But at the same time, it was so loud. I could hear my thoughts now and it was loud.

Timeskip

It was noon and I am still sitting on the couch.

Until, the door knob turned and Phuwin entered.

Seeing his face after a long time feels....weird.

He spotted me and smiled,

"Hey babe"

"Hey..." My voice cracked as I got up and he walked towards me

"Do you have a minute to talk?" I go straight to the point.

I don't think I can say anything after he starts his "boyfriend" duty. As in kissing and hugging me.

"Uhh..yeah" I take him to the couch and sit down. My hands were sweaty and I kept on wiping them on my jeans but it didn't help.

"Is something wrong?" He asked, his voice laced with concern.

"Let's break up"

I squeeze my eyes shut and stay still.

But when silence greeted me, I open them and see Phuwin staring at me.

Fuck!

"I'll start packing" I wanted to get up but he stopped me.

"Don't! Keep this house. Its all yours now"

"But why? Where are you gonna live?" Curiosity got the best of me and I furrowed my eyebrows, demanding more explanation.

"I...cheated on you." My eyes slightly widen

"Since when?"

"8 months"

My world shattered. Not because I still love him or anything. But because it was way before I got with Gemini.

When Phuwin started cheating, Gemini was just a shadow. A silhouette who followed me everywhere.

"O-oh..So, why don't you want to keep this house?" I cleared my throat, pushing back the tears.

"I'm gonna live with my new boyfriend. And he doesn't wanna live here" I nodded. His statement made sense.

Even though he just landed, He went upstairs and packed all of his stuffs.

And in the evening, we said our last goodbyes.

I go back to the house and sit on the couch. The first person I call is Ohm.

"Hello?"

"It's over. The thing with Phuwin"

I told him everything. I was at the verge of crying. And once again, not because I love him. But the fact that it has been going on for so long but I had no idea.

The moment I cut the call with Ohm, Gemini walked in.

"Did he ask you to leave?" Was the first thing he said

"That's the important part?"  It kinda was but...ehh.

I think he noticed my damp eyes as he walked towards me and sat down beside me.

"He cheated on me. He has been, for 8 fucking months" He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me on his lap

I buried my face in his chest but did not cry.

"It's ok. He was too stupid to know your worth"

"Who cares about him, I have you now!" I look at him

"And promise me you won't chest on me. If you fall out of love, just tell me and go. But please don't cheat" My eyes teared up again, but this time, at the thought of Gemini with another girl.

"I would never cheat on you. I will not even fall out of love. Ever"  His word warmed my heart

"Promise?"

"Promise"
