Congratulations, We're Finally Breaking Up Chapter 9
Sonya clutched the envelope and suddenly threw her arms around me, weeping so hard it was actually quite heart-wrenching. It was as though she was pouring out all of the grievances and regrets that she had bottled up over the past few years.She buried her face against my shoulder and murmured over and over again in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry… I'm so, so sorry, Rennie…"It wasn't until after I went through so much that I finally realized just how good you'd been to me… Can't we please just—""There's no 'we' anymore," I said, calmly interrupting her. "There's just 'you' and 'me' now."I gently but firmly pushed her off and looked at her tear-stained, makeup-streaked face. Her eyes held no more pride."I wish you a happy marriage. But that's about it," I said. "I won't be staying for the reception because I've got other matters to attend to. Please excuse me."With that, I let go of her and turned to leave.I'd only taken a few steps when a familiar voice called out from behin

I didn't tell a soul where I was headed next.I went to Bodeya, the place closest to the sky.There, I witnessed the most devout acts of prostration and gazed upon the towering, snow-capped mountains in the distance. I also listened to the deep, resonant, sacred sounds of prayer wheels spinning beneath the walls of the Lama Palace.Suddenly, it struck me. The jealousy and betrayal that had once weighed so heavily on my mind were, after all, as insignificant as specks of dust.I finally understood, and I knew what I had to do when I eventually returned.I didn't go back to my hometown to settle into the stable, predictable life Mom and Dad hoped I would. Instead, I revamped my resume and set my sights on cities much further away.…Two years later, I ran into a former colleague, Andy Richards, at an industry exhibition. After exchanging some pleasantries, we started talking about our current work, and he suddenly brought up Sonya's name."Do you remember that complaint from a su

Sonya continued screaming, "I've been crushed under your thumb for 18 years. 18 years, Rennie Carlson! Don't I have the right to strive for something for myself even just once?"She pointed a finger in my face, her tears mingling with the spittle on her face."You've always had it good and easy! You've always been better than me in every way! But I'm not doing too badly myself now! I have a respectable job. I'm a manager. I know how to dress well, and I can even recognize all the luxury brands in your home, even the ones I couldn't pronounce anymore!"Who gave you the right to be liked by everyone? Why does everyone always like you instead of me?"I didn't bother sparing her any dignity anymore when I saw her like this. I shot back, "You still don't get it, do you? It's because you're an ungrateful bitch. You're an ingrate who bites the hand that feeds you."Sonya was left speechless as my words choked her.I had no intention of stopping there. I continued, "You've been cling

I never imagined Darius and Sonya would track me all the way to Mistland. They must have asked Mom and Dad where I was.When I opened the courtyard gate and saw Darius and Sonya standing there, I let out a weary sigh, then gestured for them to sit at the wooden table under the veranda.Darius spoke up first."I'm sorry, Rennie. I know I've done many things in the past that upset you, and I've spent time reflecting on that."As he spoke, he pulled a key from his pants pocket and slid it across the wooden table toward me."I got this key back from Sonya. It's yours now. I'll keep a proper distance from her from now on. I won't cross the line with her anymore."Please just take the key. Once this trip is over, we'll go back, register our marriage, and hold the wedding. How does that sound?"He then turned slightly and nudged Sonya with his elbow. She'd remained silent the entire time, a grim expression on her face. She clearly hadn't wanted to come all the way to Mistland to find m

After landing in Mistland, I turned airplane mode on my phone back off, and my screen lit up as a flood of notifications hit me.Darius' name was at the very top. He'd sent me dozens of messages in a row."Did you move out? Why didn't you tell me? Where did you go?""What was that post you made on your social media? My parents even asked me about it!""Rennie Carlson! Pick up your phone!"I didn't reply to any of his text messages.Meanwhile, Darius was chatting away with Sonya on a group call in our three-person chat group, urging me to join and even starting a conversation with me, which was extremely rare."Rennie, my mom's asking us for a wedding date. Sonya was just asking us about it too. Why aren't you saying anything?"Sonya added in a tearful voice, "I'm sorry, Rennie. It's all my fault. You're both getting married soon, and yet you're still arguing because of me. But it's just a job. The worst that could happen is that I just find myself another one if this doesn't wo

A sharp, aching tightness gripped me in the chest. I let out a soft, bitter laugh. Then, I tossed the gift box into the trash can right under Darius' and Sonya's noses."I don't want the gift. I don't want the key anymore."I cast them another glance and said, "And I also don't want both of you anymore either."Then I grabbed my bag and turned to leave.Darius seemingly reached his breaking point and chased after me, yelling, "What is it that you want now, Rennie Carlson? Is it not enough that we're begging you like this?"I turned back and gave him a cold, detached look. I was too disheartened to say another word, so I simply walked away.…Ever since that day, Darius and Sonya never spoke to me again. They stayed as close as ever, chatting in private and getting along like a house on fire.That was how we stopped talking and gave each other the silent treatment.Finally, the day came for me to resign. After finishing the last of the paperwork at the office, I headed downst
