"Oh god!" An apologetical whisper leashed out her lips as she stared at the ground feeling the guiltiness pooling inside. Nile immediately rushed to him.

"Hobi um-I you know-uhh-" She was running out of words as they kept her lips baffling through. Hobi was still staring at her with the same blank look. Getting all irritated she shut her eyes close and sucked in a deep breath.

"Okay," she continued, "I'm sorry." She couldn't help but apologized in a baritone. Since she was no apologetic person in general yet she couldn't deny her oblivion. Hobi chose to be silent. And his silence wasn't doing any good to her, furthermore, grew more impatience which was a turnover for her hyperness.

"Okay look I said I'm sorry right? And I'm honestly feeling so guilty. I was so into my practice that I almost forgot all the happenings around me you know? but it's just a date and-"

"A date of our anniversary." He remarked, cutting her off in mid-sentence. She blinked a few times, her mouth was hanging in gape feeling the torment rising up to her head.

"It's just a-"

"Our love."

"Unbelievable!" She turned away and annoyingly threw her hands in the air as the disbelief bombed out.

"It's just a fucking date! Why are you making it's a big deal I can't understand!" Her voice raised as she was losing the chain of patience.

"Yeah it's not a big deal. How can this be a big deal? When I only got to heard only one fucking thing throughout this entire month!" For the first time at that moment Hobi lost his temper and couldn't help but shouted at her which caused the veins in his neck stood out like knotted rope. The immense pain that kept staggering him inside he couldn't push them off anymore. Her lacking of concern for their bond wasn't leaving him with any other choices. He felt so alone in the bond that led him to get this tempered which he never imagined in his entire spent lifespan with her.

And she was too blind to see that.

Nile was shocked at his harshness, her eyes wide opened. Never in a million times she had ever met his this side. Yet, it didn't stop her blood from boiling in utter anger. Moreover, boosted her aggressiveness.

"WHAT?"

"YES! Whenever I've called you throughout this whole month I only got to heard your fucking rambling on one same thing! And what is it? 'I'm doing this position now, I've learned that position yesterday, this relevé, that développé' like EVERY. SINGLE. TIME, you only talked about yourself Nile, you didn't care to ask what I'm doing, have I even eaten yet or something just like you always do!"

Nile was beyond shocked to see his revolted nature. The man she knew from his every pit of core, his depth, his obscures, his depiction, his hormones, his everything, the same person was blaming her, her passion!

Again, the obstination laughed at her ignorance.

"You didn't care to talk about us." The plain pain and hurt was reflecting in his pupils. The emotion the 'us' word held Nile couldn't catch it moreover let her stubbornness crumpled it right away.

"I can't believe!" She mumbled gazing into his black orbs before backfire again.
"You don't have the right to blame my passion which I lived for! Yes it's true that I was all oblivious this whole time but didn't I admit that I'm sorry? Then why the fuck are you exaggerating?"

"I'm not exaggerating! I'm just observing how you let your stubbornness imprisoned your passion and love all at once! How you just let the love bury under your fucking stubbornness!"

"YEAH it is my passion! My fucking stubbornness is my passion! Do you hear that?"

"Stubbornness can never be someone's passion!"

"So are you jealous? Oh I can see the jealousy in your eyes Hobi an-"

"You have gone so ignorant Nile that you even lost the initiatives to differ the jealousy and benevolence!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP! First you pulled up my passion and blaming it, now you're calling me an ignorant! What's fucking wrong with you?" Nile robustly pushed him by the chest rippling through her anger. Hobi stumbled back at the rough contact. He looked down at the wooden floor for a moment, the mixture of pain and anger crippling his heart, crepitating his heavy breath. He glanced up at her with the agonization brimming in his eyes. His words stung, and any further arguments died on his lips.

It's high time to let the chain fall off.

"We're over Nile." He breathed out stepping a back, a single step towards the conclusion.

She was taken aback for the immense. Her ignited eyes snuffing out slowly. She gulped down thickly. Weird, that it'd always been her to break up with him in the first place on such silly matters, now the table was turned. Before the grimace could swerve her thoughts, outrage held the grip once again and the roughness resurfaced to her face.

"You came here to over this? Let's over this. Besides, I don't need someone who disrespect my hard work, my improvising, my dream." Her voice cracked.

"And I don't need someone who has no love for her passion but stubbornness, who knows about only competitions, not tributes." He stated with his strained voice.

"GET OUT! I don't wanna see your face anymore!" She turned back with whisk sharpening the jawline with gritted teeth. Her bloodshot eyes were probably in tears which blurred her vision.

It was hard, too hard to separating their ways but he had to. His heart was rending in millions. Never had he wished to put the ending line of everything right there, right that moment.

"Neither do I." Terrible anguish struck his heart, he felt the dreadful ache tearing him apart as if he was dying. He took a tearful glimpse at her ankle before leaving the deadly silent auction, leaving her.

With a broken heart Hobi left the place. Leaving a conflicted soul who didn't know what her heart wanted but ceaselessly prioritized her mulishly gone brain.

Nile collapsed on her knees gripping the tormenting heart. A sob tore from her throat, wracked her body.

The protocol of their extraordinary bond had broken.
