“P-Please, let me go…” I uttered, my lips trembling, and it felt like something was stuck in my throat. Why is he like this? Why won’t he let me go?

“Francine… W-Why?” I could clearly see the pain and sadness on his face.

“What w-why, Khai?” I asked, trying to ignore everything.

“W-Why didn’t you wait for me? W-Why?” His shoulders shook, and he covered his mouth with his hand. He seemed weak. I couldn’t hold back my tears any longer, and they started to fall freely.

“W-Why didn’t I wait for you? K-Khai… Do you even hear yourself? Why are you asking me that when, in the first place, you never told me I needed to wait for you?” I asked, crying. It was so unfair to me.

I felt like I was being choked, struggling to breathe. I tried to pull my hand away, but he refused to let go.

“Baby…”

“You left me, Khai… You left me and your child… And I had no right to stop you because I respected your decision,” I said accusingly, hitting his chest. Maybe because he was weak, I was able to push him away even though he still held onto my elbow.

“F-Francine…”

“I had no right, Khai… None! I let you go even though… I didn’t want to… Khai… Even though I couldn’t bear to lose you… I actually did wait… I waited for you, Khai… But for two years… Two years your child and I waited! And you made it four years! A-And now… you’re telling me, blaming me for not waiting?” I asked, clenching my fist and hitting his chest. “W-What am I to you, Khai? Huh? I have no right over you, and you’re not even my boyfriend. I’m just the mother of your child… That’s the only role I have in your life, right?! You know that, don’t you?! So what right do you have to blame me?!” I shouted through my sobs.

“Francine…” I wiped away my tears and still tried to pull my hand away, but he didn’t let go.

“I-I got tired, Khai… I got tired of waiting without any assurance. I loved you so much that I forgot about myself… I got tired… For almost 16 years, Khai, I did nothing but love you. Imagine? 16 years of being a fool for loving you. Who wouldn’t get tired? I don’t want to risk it again; I was only 15 years old when you hurt me without knowing. Of course, your girlfriend was more important to you. Because she’s the one you loved. And when we had a child? I thought I finally had a chance, but still, there was none… Everything just became more complicated. You still had a reason to leave me,” I said in a long, accusing tone, and at that moment, he finally let go of me. He rubbed his face, and his shoulders shook. “Why did you come back now when we can’t be together anymore? I’m already married and have moved on. I’m happy with my husband now and with our child. I hope you are too… You can still be with our child. Just focus on him and love Zaidyx.” After saying those words, I simply turned away, ready to leave.

“Francine… If I could turn back time… Would you still wait for me?” he asked softly, making me stop in my tracks.

“What’s the point of waiting if I’m just going to get hurt again, Khai?” I asked him in return.

“Francine, baby…” I closed my eyes as my chest tightened, and my tears fell rapidly. My hands and legs trembled.

“I’m sorry,” that was the last thing I said before I finally left him there. I could still hear his loud sobs.

No more… We can’t go back to the past, Khai. Because everything is over, even though we never really started. You chose to let me go, and I did the same after 16 years of loving you. I’m just tired, and I need a long break.
