Lie To Me

Chapter 34: 34

"Let's eat." Hans called me from his living room. I've been staying in his pad for a week now.

I don't know but I can't afford to be alone in my apartment. I constantly feel sad and end up crying. I

feel like I'm going crazy.

I followed Hans to his kitchen and settled myself on the chair in front of him.

"He resigned." He said, I just nodded.

I haven't been to the office for a week and it's only here on Hans’ pad that I work. I didn’t know if I could

face my companions especially since they saw what happened.

It had been so awkward for all of us since then. Even back then no one moved us. We just bid

goodbyes and said take care then separate.

Fortunately, I brought my own car, otherwise it would have been more difficult for all of us.

"Won’t you even say anything?" He asked.

"I don't know what I should say." I said.

He shrugged.

"I heard he'll fly to Cuba." He said.

"Why are you telling me?" I asked.

"Nothing. I just want to share." Answer it.

I rolled my eyes.

Russel and I had finally parted. That day from our outing ended what's left for us. We had the closure

we deserved. Even though it took a long time, it still happened. What I heard was painful but at least it

was finally over. Now, I can say that I can move on without asking his reasons.

It was a long and tough battle and I'm proud of myself for making it here. I survived all the struggles

and am now free.

I should be happy.

"How can you say you don't love someone anymore?" Hansel suddenly asked.

We were already in the living room and had been watching the series on Netflix.

I looked at him.

"Do you like someone?" I asked him.

"It was for you." He answered. "How can you say that you don't love him anymore?"

"Did I say that?" I asked back instead.

It looks at me now. "You still love him?" He asked again.

I shrugged.

"I never said that I don’t love him anymore. My feelings won’t go away that easily, but it won't be

enough for me to go back to him. I was too hurt to give in anymore. We'll only be ruined if we insist." I

said. "We are better off without each other."

"Do you believe in him? In his explanations?" Question it again.

I shrugged again. "It doesn't matter if I take his explanation or not. All I asked was to hear it, I have. His

reason hurts me but I can't do anything about it, that was his choice."

"You're fine with that?"

I nodded. "I realized that I was really stupid, but he's more stupid than I was. He knew everything I did

for him but he prefers to ignore all that. He chooses to take his revenge rather than be happy with me.

What he did was crazy. "

"He was really sorry, though." Hans said.

I nodded. "He was sorry because he got caught. If I didn't find that out, it would definitely last longer

and I don't know if he can stand the revenge he's saying." I replied. "He can succeed and get revenge,

but he can also forget that and just continue his relationship with that woman." I added.

"Then, what are you so upset about the past days?" Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I don't know. I just feel sad." I replied. I even laughed to myself.

I honestly don’t really know why I felt so said and alone. I should be happy. But I feel the opposite. I just

feel sad.

"Do you need a psychiatrist?" Hans asked.

I stared at him and threw a pillow.

“I’m still far from being mentally ill!” I shouted at him.

He put his arms up. “I didn’t say that. What I meant by that is, you might want to consult to at least

know why. I mean, you were traumatized. A professional help would be a huge help for you to be

stable?” he said.

I shook my head.

“I’ll be fine. I know I can do this,” I said.

Hans shrugged. “Just tell me when you need me. I’m always here for you,” he said.
