"Is this even true?"
My heart constricted. If I could just jump out of this building and end up dying, I would do it. But, there's no escaping this time. There's just a lot... of truth. To just escape.
"Sorry." He looked at me like he's really broken.
That's it? Sorry. It only takes a sorry for everything.
Tears started to fall from my eyes, "I have invested so much on these. On you. This everything! You knew that! You knew that!" I bursted out and fell in the ground.
I was the queen, but why does it feel everything is stolen from me. I have worked so hard for this, but why am I failing.... again?
"Hey, look at me. I didn't meant it. Sorry," he said then lowered to wipe out my tears.
He sighed, "Maybe, its not for us. I love you. But I also loved her."
Loved.
I miserably cried my heart out and stood up. "Loved? You loved her. Don't you know the meaning of past?! You said that you were over her!" I cried so bad while terribly shouting at him.
" How dear you cheat on me?! After everything. You still... you still rushed back to her." My heart bleed so damn bad.
How can't I just find the right people.
"I also thought that I have moved on."
"Yeah, right. You thought. Then fuck your thoughts!" I was shaking in anger as I looked at him.
I hurriedly walked out of my office, I knew he would followed me.
"David!" I called for my assistant, He quickly approached me.
"Yes, Ma'am?"
"Where's the girl?!" I asked David and he knew who's the girl I was talking about.
"Hey, Baby. Don't involve Clara in this." My boyfriend who just cheated on me, tries to stop me to protect his girl. Wow. Just wow.
I rolled my eyes and removed his hand. "The day she got in relationship with you again was the day she started to get in this," I firmly said as I threw him a deadly look.
"So don't you. Just don't you tell me that she is not involved in this!" I pointed him a finger and angrily said everything.
David pointed the office where the mistress of my loving boyfriend is appointed. I saw her seating in her chair nicely and really focused in her work.
I immediately walked toward her, "Ms. Clara." I called her and she quickly notice me. Good. Know who's higher than you.
She stood up, "Ms. President! Do you need something?" She said calmly and sweetly. I would have appreciated you better, but you became the mistress of the person that I have loved... so much.
Seeing her in person makes me shed more tears for an unwanted guy. She looks nice and beautiful, maybe he fell for that. That breaks me even more. She just slapped me with the reality 'you are not enough'
"Ms, is there something wrong." Clara quickly held my arms.
Wow.
I heard David and my boyfriend rushed inside the office.
"Art! You're here?" I heard Clara said with happiness and excitement in her voice.
"I'm still at work, and I think our President is not on a good condition. Would you wait me outside?" She talked sweetly as she continue to hold me.
"No." I said.
I knew Clara was confused, I don't want to hurt her. But I am no Saint.
"Why don't you tell her? Arthur?" I faced him, so broken. I never wanted this to happen, but it did happened. Maybe. Just maybe we really weren't worth the fight.
"I can't." He mouthed, and pulled me outside. Leaving Clara shocked.
He pulled me going to the rooftop. "I can't hurt her. Sorry." He said.
"Sorry? That's just it? Arthur? You broke me and then it's just a sorry?!" I said in frustration. So I am the only one who's entitled to get hurt in this situation? Just me?!
He looked at me with broken eyes, "Baby, I am sorry." He kneeled down and hugged me.
"Sorry. I know you don't worth all the pain. I know you don't deserved to get hurt." He sniffed as he explained.
I was just stiff, I didn't moved.
"But she doesn't know anything. Baby, please, let's just end 'us! Silently." He begged me and kiss my feet.
I just watched him while crying. My man. He was crying. This is my man. He should only be for me. I would also wanted to hurt the girl he loved. I badly wanted to hurt her.
I was his queen yesterday, then today Clara is already his queen?
I badly want to take everything and strip everything from her mistress, but I can't. She didn't do anything bad to me. All she did was loved 'my man' she just loved 'my everything' just like what I did.
"Stop." I said, broken.
"Stand up." I commanded him.
He did, he stand up.
I rushed to hugging him and burst into tears, "Jared Arthur. Promise me you'll love her. Promise me that you'll always tell her you love her every time. more than you have said to me." I cried spontaneously.
I sobbed, "Keep her. Don't ever. Don't ever hurt her."
My hands trembled as I reached his head, "Art, Be happy." I said and kissed his forehead.
"I love you so much, I'm letting you go. Until we meet again. Art." I remarked and with tears I faced him.
"Di ko kasi namalayan eh, Di ko naman alam Arthur, naglalaro na lang pala tayo." I cried harder. "Tapos ako pala yung matatalo sa larong to, akala ko kasi nasa isang team lang tayo, hindi pala." I bitterly smiled and mouthed a 'thank you' before walking away with all my tears and with all the pain her brought me.
For the first time, the queen have suffered her first lost. But I knew it wouldn't be any worth. But it took me 'everything'. Now, I don't know what to do? Where to go? Because, where do broken hearts go? If they are not lost?
