With sweaty hands I finally managed to press “send” and few
moments later there came a “
seen”. I waited and waited, there was nothing but
silence. Suddenly he called. I didn’t know what to do. I pressed “reject” sign
on the screen. He called and I cancelled again. We did that few more times and
then he called again. I knew he wanted answers, he needed them but did he
deserve it? I didn’t know. With shaking hands I finally answered. I expected
him to ask “why”, scream at me maybe, call me names but all I got was silence.
“Hello?” I said.
“Hmm... Why didn’t you pick up the call?” what was that in his
voice? Annoyance? Sadness?
“Er… I just uh…”What could I possibly say? How could I say that I
was being a coward that I was running away from what was coming, that I didn’t
want to face the consequences of what I had done.
“So… did you have your dinner?” he asked again filling the dead
silence.
“Yeah...” Why was he doing this? Why wasn’t he saying anything?
Why was he acting so normal? Like nothing had happened. I knew he had seen it.
I knew that he knew, so why? Finally my curiosity got the best of me and I
asked. “You got the message didn’t you?”
“What message?” He was lying! He was lying! I knew he was! I knew
he had seen it.
“The one I sent on Facebook?” I asked unsure of his response.
“Nope” Liar!
“I think you should see it.” I tried to keep a cool voice.
"I don't want to" His voice
suddenly pleading, filled with the obvious pain. What had I done?
"You need to." I said sadly though I
had already known that he had seen it.
"No I really don't want to,
please?" No. No. No. He was doing it wrong! This was supposed to be the
easy part! Why is it becoming the hard one then? He deserved this! Or that was
what I thought few moments ago... Had I gone too far? Had I been too harsh? He
hadn't become serious, had he? He couldn't be! He isn't the type of guy to get
serious, at least not so soon... but isn't this what we wanted? Isn't this how
he was supposed pay for what he did to her?
"Is it true?" His voice was in
the verge of tears. It almost broke my heart. What was I supposed to do now?
"Yes. Every word of it." I never
resented myself more in my life than this particular moment. When had I become
so heartless?
"Okay. Thank you." And that
very moment he hated me more than ever. "You're welcome." I replied
coolly. He gave a small sound of disbelief, pain, hatred and then ended the
call. I slowly put my cellphone down feeling numb and empty, hollow. It was
over. I had done it. I had broken his heart and all I felt was
relief. Relief
that it was over.
