Sarah couldn't believe what she was hearing. What she was finding out right now.
All this time, she had silently loved him from afar and told herself that she was content to just be by his side. She remembered telling Beatrice, at what seemed so long ago, that she would be able to let him go if he found someone else.
To love him, meant to let him go.
Yet, when the time came ... the reality was not the same as what she envisioned it to be.
Even though he was no longer with the girl, her heart still felt pain. To see him feeling sad at the break-up, to see him affected by it meant that he had truly been in love with that girl.
Why that girl?
Why not her, who had been by his side all this time?
Did he not see her?
Was she not good enough?
What was so great about that girl that he would have fallen for her so fast? Just those few weeks or months?
All sorts of questions arose in her head and her heart couldn't take it.
Sometimes, one has to be cruel, to be kind.
