A Tale of Repairing Hearts

A Crackled Heart

On a Saturday night, below the rustic yellow street lamp, drenched with rain. I was crying, abandoned by my recent ex just a moment ago. My name is Khris.

I had a beautiful romance with my ex. We went to a couple of dates, some stuffy and fluffy bed scenes, and a lot more. I was happy on that moment. I've never been felt so cherished at that moment.

Until just a few hours ago before we broke up, I went into a bar alone; out of boredom, specifically since my boyfriend told me he had to work overtime, leaving me alone at the condo. I went to the bartender and asked for a drink; and scanned the bar around. My gaze stopped at a couple kissing-- way too lovely and hot in a dash. As I squinted at them, I realized one of them was my partner! Clearly he enjoyed the kiss with an unknown man so willingly that he forgot that he had me as his!

Never I've been so furious. I took my drink, rushed to him and splashed my drink onto his face angrily.

"W-wha— who do you think you are— K-Khris?! Why are you here?!" he stuttered so much.

"To spend my night, what else?! At least now I see you have someone else to court you instead of your work, I'm sure my presence isn't needed anymore, yes?" I berated him, fully realized what I said towards him.

"W-wait! Khris, I can explain! W-we are just f-friends, Khris! You know that we are still an item, r-right? W-we are just--"

"Shut up! Shut! Up! You thought I just found you here, oh no... I saw you from the beginning, delightfully indulging yourself within the kiss! I had enough, Valent! I had enough! I'm leaving," I yelled again, as I put the empty glass I held onto a nearby table, and rushed outside without thinking.

Valent started chasing me, and as he finally caught up with me underneath the street light just in front of the side of the bar, he grabbed my hand. "Khris, I'm so sorry, that guy seduced me— I told him that I have someone but he still forced his way with me there!", he explained frantically.

"You two were in the kiss for a long time— oh so passionately— in the end you fell for it. Not to mention that you lied to me! You said you have to work overtime, yet here you are! What lies are you going to spout towards me?! I... I had enough!" My voice went high, as I was slowly bursting into tears.

"I.. I—", Valent couldn't even utter a single word, only stutters trailed away from his lips.

"Cat got your tongue, mm? I... I thought you are the one. I thought you'll be my sanctuary but... seems I was mistaken. I was blinded and in the end, you broke my heart... I can't do this anymore. Go back to your new lover inside." My throat went hoarse as I mumbled and cried.

"No, Khris, no, please, give me another chance--"

"I said everything I want to say! What else do you want from me?!" I screamed in front of him. Valent was relentless and pushed even further. "Khris, listen—"

"Stop! Stop with your venomous words! Let go of my hand! Go away! GO AWAY!"

And Valent left me and my emptied heart. Alone. He tore me, inside and out.
I cried, I cried so much that God made the angels cried for me too.

It rained, my clothes were drenched.
Yes, as was my sorrow.
