Rui went home straight after giving Ruth a lift to her apartment. He felt so emotionally weak as he walked inside his house.
It was almost dinner time yet no news from Cali. He walked straight to his room and threw his tired body on the bed, trying to calm his crying heart.
He did not dare follow Cali to the gaming machines because he was scared of seeing her enjoying her time with Edward. The scene of Cali smiling and talking to Edward kept playing before his eyes and torturing him.
He got up from the bed and cleaned himself before he went out headed straight to the bar. He wanted to get wasted for once so he could not feel any pain.
He drank while staring at his mobile phone every once in a while. He was waiting for Cali to call or at least send him a text message to inform him if she would eat dinner outside, but more than an hour had passed yet there was nothing.
