I met this guy in school. We were high school back then. Every time we glance at each other, he always feel disgusted about me and I don’t know why but I did not care because he is just nothing for me.

Then one time, I saw him with his friends and they were playing basketball and then suddenly the ball hit me, he walk towards me and get the ball, I was waiting for him to say sorry but he just ignore me so I pushed him so hard that he fell unto the ground. I know it’s childish but I really hate people who don’t apologize. When I noticed his angry face I ran as fast as I could and that’s how our fight started.

Every time we bumped each other, he always irritate me and it annoys me so I vex him back. We compete with each other and won’t allow to be bested by another. We were like tom and jerry because we were not fond of each other.

But as the months passed by, we started to know each other. We always talk about our life. There are times that we shared a stories about our past life. We somehow felt connected to each other because we had so many things in common, it felt weird actually, but for some reason, we clicked. We became friends and then best friends until he confessed his feelings for me and I did too. It was the happiest day of my life and after that we became lovers.

We always cuddle every time we felt tired. Every lunch we always ate together, we talk about our future, us building our own house and us getting married and having such a lovely kids. I giggle at that thought. We we’re so in love. He promised me that he would never leave me.

Our relationship lasted for 7 years but just when I thought that our relationship is perfect and that everything was fine, not until one day I noticed he started to become cold. He is not the same before. So, I decided to confront him.

“Is there something wrong about us?” I asked.

“No. I’m just tired.” He replied coldly. I sigh




One day, I asked him if we can meet because today is our anniversary and I have a gift for him but he just refused me and said he was busy.

Even the though he's busy, I still decided to go to his condo unit. I was smiling from ear to ear because I am so exited to give this to him. I arrive at his condo safely, the moment I open the door, I froze because of what I saw. I thought I am the one who will surprise him but it turns out that I am the one who got surprised.

I saw my man with another woman and they are kissing torridly, and worst is it’s my sister. My one and only sister whom I loved the most.

They paused because they hear me sniffed. I saw my sister got nervous but I ignore her and then I saw my man he’s nervous too. Our eyes met, my tears started to fall like there’s no tomorrow. He come near me but I stopped him.

“N-no.” I whisper.

“D-don’t come near me.” I continue

“Love, let me explai-“ I cut him off.

“No, I don’t need your explanation and don’t you call me love. The moment I saw you kissing my sister I feel like the whole world stop. I got betray and worst is it’s my sister. Of all people why my sister?!” I shouted at him but he didn’t utter a word. My tears won’t stop from falling. I need to calm down. I have to stopped this. I sigh deeply

"L-let’s break up. If you saw me after this just ignore me and c-can you do me a favor? Can we treat each other as a stranger? Since t-this is the only way for me to move on." I said while crying

"This is what I’m afraid of but thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for making me feel that you loved me.” It's hard but I have to accept this.

“Perhaps one day we will meet again as characters in different story. Maybe we’ll share a lifetime then. Please, be happy and take care of my sister. I love you and goodbye”. I smile sadly and walked away and wipe my own tears.
