Getting Back Together

Home! Here I come

Now, I'm formally single again. What I hate about break ups is the fact that your girl isn't going to continue life with you. Like your dream before that you'll build a happy family isn't going to happen because she broke up with you.

Well, now, a slap of reality woke me up. Tomorrow, there will be no Skylar Sparks beside me where I draw my strength. But that doesn't mean that I have to stop living. I just have to look for something that worth my efforts for.

That's life and I have to accept whatever it offers. I have nowhere to go today, so I went to Brewers but I remember brewers are open 3pm to 3am. I hate my life.

Since I filed for a week-long leave, I planned to go to India. I want to chill for a while. Away from this land..

What I regret is that I didn't took her to Paris and I didn't introduced her to my parents but it's okay. She dreamed of going to the City of Love but our schedule doesn't match. The favor I asked the last time? I won't push through it. I'll let her go. My purpose of that trip is to take her back to my arms but she clearly said that we're done.

Only God knows how I love her. I admit that when I had a coffee in the hospital with Emma, it looked like I'm flirting which Sky hated. Add up the visit of Emma to my house. I totally wrecked Sky's heart. I know that her depression will soon take her again. I know sad it will be. I regret everything I did wrong. I want to take her back in my arms but what can I do is to watch her be happy with Ripley.

Ripley is so lucky to have my girl. I hope he will take care of Sky as I did. And for Sky, I hope she'll be happy with Ripley..

Now, I'm driving myself to my house. I called Harper to soothe myself and to tell him about my break up.

"Harper.."

"Yeah? I'm here at LA! What do you want?" He cheerfully said

"Harper...she broke up with me"

He was silenced for a while
"All you have to do is to accept, there's nothing more to do than to accept and move on"

"Is it okay if I'll go home? Visit mom and dad? Spend some time at Delhi to unwind?"

"If that will give you peace of mind then go on. But always put the key at the back door frame."

"Okay. Thanks for understanding me"

"Okay. I'll go now, the convention is already opening"..

I ended the call. I reached the house and headed to my room. I changed my clothes and slept the whole day..

I woke up at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I packed my clothes and and shaved my growing beard then I took a full bath.. I relaxed myself in the warm water.

It was 4 when I am done taking a bath. I dressed up with a polo shirt and an above the knee shorts with my fedora hat. I also wore Sky's last gift to me, a wrist watch which reminded me of our happy times. After those, I went downstairs to eat some cookies and milk. Then took my money and important documents, locked the house and went out from the back door. I boarded a taxi to take me to the nearest ticket processing area to buy a plane ticket to India. As I look at the window, we're passing by the streets where Sky lives. When the taxi passed by the apartment of Sky, I saw her with Ripley. They were sitting on the front porch while having a drink. I saw her smile..she was so happy. The thing that I can't even give to her, the happiness she deserves.

I still remember when we used to go to the doughnut spot and she takes my eyeglasses off, she smiles and says I'm so cute without my glasses. That was the smile she possessed when I saw her with Ripley.
