"Angel..."
Pond dropped to his knees.
His voice cracked under the weight of everything he had failed to notice.
"Please... give me one more chance to fix everything I broke the first time. I swear on my life, I'll take better care of you this time."
My tears finally escaped.
"You've always taken care of me, Nara."
His smile was painfully gentle.
"...That's never been the problem."
I paused before whispering the words that shattered the only home either of us had ever known.
"I just don't feel the yearning anymore."
"I love you..."
"...but somewhere along the way, we forgot how to be in love."
For 15 years, Pond and Phuwin had belonged to one another.
4 years of stolen rendezvous, 11 years of marriage built on promises whispered beneath wedding vows.
They had everything people spent their lives chasing.
A successful career and a beautiful home.
To the outside world, theirs was the kind of marriage people pointed at and said,
"I hope I find something like that someday."
And perhaps, once upon a time... it truly had been.
But love doesn't always disappear with a loud goodbye.
Now standing at the edge of a marriage they once believed would last forever, they must decide-
Can they find their way back to each other after years of growing apart?
Or are some pages meant to be turned, even when neither heart is ready to close the book?
After all... not every love story ends when love dies, some begin to end while love is still very much alive.
