Firash's POV

I waited impatiently at the children's park very close to Sanem's house. My legs were shaking. I can do this. I whispered to myself nervously.

"Firashhhh." Her velvet voice echoed in my ears. I turned back slowly and stared at her smiling glowing face. She was happy to see me. I've been avoiding her for days now. "You're here!" She ran into my arms and i froze. "Do you know long I've been waiting for you?"

"Ohhhh..." I couldn't say anything. Cat got my tongue. My hands were numb, I couldn't hold her when she hugged me.

She looked up at my sad face. "Why?.. you didn't hug me back. Is anything wrong?"

I bent my head and bit my lower lip. What's wrong with me? I came here furious with the speed of light but on seeing the beautiful smile on her face, I became weak.

Let's do this quite and nicely.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Sanem...I have something to tell you." My neck constricted. Her eyes were wandering around my face suspiciously. What is this person going to say? What's wrong? Did i upset him? questions like this were on her face.

"Let's break up." I dropped the bombshell and the glare on her face was not good.

"What're you talking about all of a sudden?"

"Do i have to keep saying it?... I said let's break up" looking so serious now. Repeating the word "break up" was like pricking my heart with a needle.

"Why? You were talking, smiling and kissing me until today, You're talking rubbish?" She almost yelled...

"Rubbish? Hah!" I scoffed and put my hands in my pocket. "Sanem, let's end this peacefully. I don't like you anymore"

"Why are you doing this? You don't like me? Give me a more reasonable reason."

"There's no reasonable reason why a person stops liking the other person," I said with a straight face looking ahead and avoiding eye contact.

"Are you sincere?" She grabbed and pulled my hands out of my pocket. "What happened? Is it because I asked you to meet my dad? Hah! You don't have to meet him! Am sorry I pestered you.."

"That's not it."

"Then what!?" She yelled.

"I don't want you to talk to me even if we run into each other in the future. I want you to act like you don't know me like you never knew me. I'm going to erase you from my memory so you better do the same." My palms were sweating. I pinched the bridge of my forehead.

Sanem please don't make this worse for me. I'm trying to keep sane.

"I was so easy when it came to you. I came when you asked me to come. I left when you asked me to leave. My goal was to make you happy. It was that easy. How can it be this easy to break up with me? How can you break up with me this easy?" She burst out in tears uncontrollably.

"I...I'm sorry." I stammered trying so hard to hide my feelings.

This for the best. I'm sorry.

"You jerk!!! Punk!! I hate you!... Even though I was warned about this I still blindly followed you. I hate you!" She threw blows and hits on my chest, squeezing and pulling my shirt.

"Let me go." I pulled her hands off my shirt and turned to leave. I walked about 20 meters away from the park when she ran and hugged me from behind, resting her head on my back and wrapped her hands around my waist.
