Love Above A Thousand Curses (On Going Story)

15: Broken Ciara

Ciara's Perspective

One

Two

Three

I was completely surprised by how we were cheerful in this third picture that I'm currently holding. Everything was perfect. We were happy in the most simple way. But what happen now?

I woke up alone and notice that Cynna isn't here. Maybe she went out and look for some places to enjoy here. I didn't want her to bring somewhere far away from her dad. No one of us expected this to happen. We just badly need space.

It doesn't mean that I don't love him anymore because that would be impossible. It's just that, I'm still hoping that if we do this, maybe he'll realize how much he love me.

The day after I told him that we'll be leaving, I told Cynna everything she needed to know as a daughter. I sensed the sadness marked on her face while she fixes some of her stuffs and put the things we'll be needing inside the car.

But I didn't expect that my question was already answered by him before we go.

Ciara,

Maybe you'll read this when you're already gone with Cynna. I just want you to know that I fell out of love. I don't know why but I'm being sure with my feelings for her. I hope you're happy now because of my honesty. You may come back if you want. For Cynna's sake. But it would be better if we keep distance from each other.

P.S.

We had an affair and I cheated because the opportunity came up. And I dont really care about your feelings. I only care about what I want so yeah.

I drop the letter written into a piece of colored paper. It wasn't being into a whole anymore. It is broken up into different substances, already unset by the breaking up of the fibers together due to the warm liquid streaming down my face.

After knowing his perspective, I almost lose my sanity...

Cynna's Perspective

"Mom!!! I'm here!" I exclaimed. Natigilan ako nang makita ko siya, nakaupo sa banig habang yakap yakap ang tuhod niya. Dinig ko ang patuloy na pag hikbi niya. Lumapit ako sakaniya para kausapin siya nang makita kong dumurugo ang kamay niya.

"Did you self-harm, mom?" Tiim-bagang ko siyang tinanong. I don't like it when she's being unable to have self control. But I understand it because of problems. Or should I say, because of that one freaking ultimate problem that made her life messy.

"What happened? Kindly tell me." This isn't good anymore. Hindi naman talaga namin balak lumayas ng hindi na talaga babalik eh. Gusto lang muna namin mag pahinga. Kasi ang hirap ng buhay, eh.

Yung malaman mong, niloloko ka ng taong mahal mo. Saklap, dre.

"I-I tried my best to... To solve everything for the both of u-us and for your own s-sake as our daughter b-but..." She cried and screamed aloud. Then I heard her cussing and cursing my dad all over again. Our family is completely ruined. It's like a puzzle that can't be whole anymore because of those missing pieces. 

"I do l-love your dad Cynna, b-but he c-cheated on me... And the worst part is... He already said the t-truth." I can't help but to hug her tightly, telling her to stop crying but I know it's the proper response to pain, and saying things she needs to hear the most. I've been encouraging her by trying to make her laugh even if it doesn't work out.
