PART 8

PART 8:The Mystery Man

I remember rubbing his back, trying my best to comfort him whilst stopping myself from crying.I hate her.

"It's okay daddy, I'm here.", I even told him that time.The way I saw how broken he is makes me even sadder, it's the very first time I saw him cry.

Ever since then, my dad would always be angry, he began having cursing meltdown, I pity him so much.I'd often hear him say in his sleep "I miss you darling, please come back.", but it'd never happen again.I never want to see that woman again.Her and her broken promises.

"You have to come with us Venus", I remember my aunt told me one day.

It was when my dad had completely lost himself.

I looked at the man who's still crying his heart out while mumbling "why", over and over again.I can't leave him like this, he's my dad.

I remember telling my aunt I'll be okay there, that I don't have to leave,

but who are you kidding Venus, you have to leave.

I also remember crouching down infront of my father, who was once a great man, hugging him for the last time, my voice cracking while I told him I have to go.My heart broke into pieces when I heard him say,

"You're gonna leave me too?", hearing him say that made me wanna decline leaving.I feel so broken, I feel his sadness and I can't help but just feel sorry for him.I had no choice, this is for my own good.

He even smiled at me, patted my shoulder and say, "I love you forever my princess.", and with that, Yifan began pulling me out of the house.

I love you too dad.

I found the park again, the abandoned, dreary park.I decided to just try and play while composing the song.

(The Only Exception by Paramore)

"When I was younger I saw, my daddy cry and curse at the wind."

"He broke his own heart, and I watched as he tried to reassemble it", here comes the part, I took a deep breath before continuing.

"and my momma swore that she would never let herself forget.", memories of my promise to my mom began flashing into my mind, and ofcourse that one day she decided to break it.

"and that was the day that I promised, I'll never sing of love, that does not exist", my song is still unfinished, those few lines already point out my story, I don't think love even exist anymore, even if it does.

I'm not going to fall for it.

"I didn't know you compose songs", I quickly wiped any stray tear that might've fall "I don't think you'd have to know that"

"Why are you here anyways?" he paused after saying,"Again."

I chuckled, remembering the time on the party. "It's peaceful here, and quiet.Not until you came atleast"

He just shrugged "Is that your way of thanking someone who saved you last time?"

"No, but okay thank you for that."

"Why can't you say my name?", why would I even say his name, we aren't even close.

"I don't know your name", I lied, I heard it the first time we met here.

He squinted his eyes "You're a liar"

"Why is that?", I said, still not giving in.

"Just a while ago, our professor mentioned my name and--"
