The sea is splashing you with its salty water, cold and heavy. You are bogged down with your thoughts, why you have to do it, what could be the other way to not hurt her, but you see no light and also, no solution.

You think back to the day it happened, you had gone back to return her favorite scarf she forgot in your car. You rang the bell to her apartment, waiting for him to open, you knew she went to her mother’s place for shopping. You also knew that he had headache and he might be asleep, you just rang the bell twice.

But what you saw was unexpected. He had come to an open door, behind a girl, trying to hold her and laughing. That’s when an earthquake occurred inside you and shattered your semblance.

You had to tell her, you thought. How can you conceal this big incident even though he begged you not to; it was a one time occurrence, he said. You told him to tell her himself, their relationship can be salvaged thus, but he did not heed to it.

Coming out of water, you had your decision ready. You did what you have to, ripping a relationship to pieces. Still, you will be called a good man after all this!
