Lifetime

Chapter | 4

John had an unclear past that Hailey still misunderstood it. Hailey would love to know more about John so she may understand him more closely as a friend. John was a little distracted man when it comes to women's trust. He barely sees honesty to women and as to everyday talking with Hailey, his views slowly changes. John was amazed how Hailey sees life views and opinions. How she is a full time and hands on mom to her daughter Cassandra. Yet, John never stops tempting Hailey with his invitation.

John: Hey Hailey! How's my invitation? Would you go with me? I really love tempting you. Just for a whole day?

Hailey: You know I simply can't. I have a little Cassandra. You could simply go out with your Mikaela this weekend.

John: Hailey, please stop being so hesitant with life. Why won't you go out by yourself? Enjoy life. Taste the beauty of it. It seemed like you are too focus on living inside the four corners at home.

Hailey: My life had been a traumatic experience John and you know it. How my ex-husband deceived me and all that. But despite of it all I never had any negative thought on it. I was blessed with my little Cassandra. You know how much I prayed for her.

John: Me too, I am blessed by my Mikaela. Her mom was a good mother by the way, but I just can't have her anymore with dishonesty and trust failure.

Hailey: What happened by the way? I really don't have any idea what happened between you and her?

John: Actually, it's unbelievable. And in my line of work, I can't be available for her anytime. Only on weekends but unluckily she had found someone who shared with troubled mind and heart. And oh yes! She had been tempted and at that time, she's carrying a baby with him. How hurtful was that huh?

Hailey: Oh! I didn't know. I am sorry John. I never thought that your past life was really that in pain.

John: Well now, at least you already have a little background how my life was. And how about you? I am sure your husband was just waiting for your moves, am I right?

Hailey: Nope! Actually he was a narcissistic type. He marries for something else and not by companionship or love or so, I don't know. He was my favourite mistake of my life. I decided it on my own, thought I could have a simple married life that I imagine, but I didn't. I gave up everything for Mark and yet, here I am again, all alone but I have Cassandra.

These two casual friends turned out to have started a deeper meaning of friendship. They soon realizes that every small details of their life was dig in and what they did was they open each other up to simply everything.

The traumatic experience of Hailey, the distrustful past of John. Now, they have known each other now.

As John always said, "a shattered glass could never be repaired as a whole. It will always have a fissure that reminds the pain and dishonesty"
