i was going to ring door bell but suddenly the door opened. he asked me to come in and i went to his apartment. there was no light in his apartment. there was so darkness just like mines. suddenly he turned the lights on and i can see everything clearly now. i did't turn the lights on because i want the darkness because i was sad but jay was also sad. About what? no this can't be true. "you want something y/n?" he said i just say no to him but still he hand me water. i don't know wht was going on his mind but i know for sure that whatever he wants to talk with me will break me into pieces.

jay's pov

i was standing on the balcony when i saw y/n. on i clean my apartment a little bit but apartment was so dirty. i went to the door and open the door and invite her in. She came in i forgot to on the light switches and then i turned the lights on and when i asked her water i can clearly see how much she cried she tried to hide her darkcircles and swollen eyes by makeup but i know her for seven years she does these kind of things everytime she cry. I hate to make her cry and i hate to be the reason because i know if she start it's hard to make her stop crying. nobody make her stop crying not even Ana. i took some water in a glass and hend over her and sit besides her leaving space between like strangers.

"please don't say anything y/n please listen to me first. i think we should breakup this is the best for the two of us" i said "i agree with the first sentence you said but don't like the last sentence. i also think we should breakup but this is not the best for us two its best for the three of us. you,me and Ana." she said. i can't process her words. i think she know all the things. "you know everything?" i asked not knowing if i asking her this was good or bad. " Ana told me everything about everything . About how you met, how you talked about my insecurity so openly in front of my bestfriend being a blind person who never saw any other people around him never think what they think about me if any known person knows and making fun of me, she also told me how much you are lusty that you started hating me just because of i can't able to make you happy sexually, but i never thought that this is your fault because i'm the one who is wrong because i forgive you knowing that you're not happy, i want you knowing you're leaving me behind and having fun with your friends, you never came to see me asking how was i doing , and you know the reason wh i waited for you all this time because i thaught you fucking love me, but i was so wrong , i was so dumb to trust you when you said you're going to see your parents but you're having fucking those girls whom you and your fucking friends paid for and you know how'd i know because i fucking saw these with my own eyes. Every single time i thought you'll change once i'll make myself prepare to intimate with you but everything was going out of hands when i saw you two together." she said i was so shocked how she knows everything but i tried to control the situation "listen y/n" i was about to complete my sentence but she cut my words off "no. past these years i listen to you like a doll but you never try to understand me neither you listen to me and today you've to listen all my pain and sorrows i hide in my heart because you'll never know if i never say these feelings to you. i lost my parents, i've nobody with me i thought you loved me but you never, i have not many friends because i'm not good at expressing myself. the friend who understands me leave me because of you. now i want to tell you i not came here to forgive you, i came here to tell you i want breakup with you and this is not i'm asking you i'm telling you." she said these words and left me alone. i saw her small figure invesibling from my eyes and i stood there like statue.....

i took a taxi and went to that park again. i was crying..... crying like a child. the taxi stpped at the front of the park's gate and i went to the park. the park was as beautiful like when i visit in my childhood with my parents. i sat on the bench and remembering those beautiful days. those days were so precious to me. when someone's message popped up on my screen.

unknown

what happened? are you alright?

yes! but why are
you messaging me?

i want to know if your
boyfriend does anything
that made you sad?

no. like you told me not to worry and do what myheart says so i do the same.

and what you did?

i brokeup!

what? are youu sure you want this?

yes. and from now on please stop msg me because i don't know who you are but i'm thankfull to you but please lets stop this....

okay but one last thing. where are you right now?

at xyz park.

i turned my phone off and started to think again about my childhood memories.i sat there or hours that it's about the time of evening. i don't know why butt i think i'm waiting for that unknown person to show up. but he didn't. after sometime i suddenly felt strange i feel like someone is watching me and i found that tall man whom i met last time. he stand besides me over a hanckerchief again and asking permission threw hi eyes that if he can sit with me and i slide myself making space for him to sit. "so why're you crying again? breakup or what" he said. i just nodded "don't you think that all you can do a simple thing that is to forgive him if fault is his" he said. " i already forgive him because it's not his nor mine fault i think we're not made for each other" i said " and how'd you know?" he asked " because if we were then what i saw, what i feel, it's not the one tht give me pain" i said " but love in love we have to face the pain" he said " but that pain is different. if we both love each other then we feel happy to feel the pain becuase if that was love we know that we end up together no matter how much we face the pain. but we know whatever was between us that was not love." i said "uhumm okay. have you heard about chinese mythology about the red string?" he said " yes i've heard that soulmates are tied up with a red srting in the smallest finger that, wherever they are they'll always end up together. but i think there is no one for me" i said "and why'd you think like that" he asked. "because i thought the person i tied with he cut the string years ago because he doesn't like me" i said. thinking about him made me smile. "and he is notyour current ex then who he is?" he asked. "a person whom i loved" i said thinking about how he igord me in past making me sad again. "sorry it's too late i've to go" i said not wanting to talk about him with a stranger. "let me give you a ride" he offerd and i said yes not wanting to argue with him again like last. he drive me home i simply thanked him and said bye and this time i didn't turned back to see him because........ because of him i remembered the person i've trying to forget all hese years but failed...... he's a stranger whom never feels like alien to me........
