Chapter 31 The Weight of His Own Hands
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2025-11-07 15:11:31It begins a few weeks after Elena leaves again.
Not dramatically just quietly.
She leaves the key on the counter this time, not in the lock.
And when Liam finds it, something inside him doesn’t shatter.
It settles.
Because deep down, the break had already happened long before she walked out.
He sits alone that evening, staring at the papers on his desk the divorce decree, the one he pushed forward months ago when she came back.
The one that ended everything with Amara.
He remembers how quickly he’d done it.
No hesitation. No pause.
Just the blind rush of a man who thought love had finally circled back to him.
He’d signed his name with relief.
Now, when he looks at it, he sees recklessness disguised as certainty.
It hits him:
He’d burned the bridge that still had light on it… just to stand in the ruins of a home that was already ash.
He thinks of Amara the way she didn’t fight, didn’t plead.
She just looked at him that last day and said, “If she’s where your heart still lives, then go.”
He hadn’t realized the grace in that until now.
He thought she was surrendering.
But no she was freeing him.
And he’d mistaken that freedom for permission to forget her.
Now her name feels heavier than regret itself.
He starts seeing her everywhere in little, quiet ways.
In the scent of coffee that lingers on rainy mornings.
In the books stacked unevenly on the table she always did that, said perfect symmetry made her nervous.
In the way silence feels softer when he’s thinking about her.
He finds the old mug she used the one with the chipped handle she refused to throw away.
And that’s when he breaks.
Not in a loud, cinematic way but in the kind of breaking that folds inward, soundless and endless.
Because now he understands:
He didn’t just lose her.
He chose to lose her.
He chose pride over patience.
Memory over reality.
A return over a reason.
He remembers the night he told Amara about the divorce.
The way her lips parted, not from shock but from quiet recognition as if she’d already felt the storm coming.
She didn’t ask why. She just nodded and said, “Then I wish you peace.”
Peace.
The word stings now.
Because he has everything but that.
He tries to write her a message, a letter, something.
But every line sounds like an apology that’s too late.
And how do you apologize for something you can’t undo?
How do you tell someone, “I see it now. I see you now.” when you’re the reason they left in the first place?
He takes walks in the park she loved.
The benches remember them, the trees remember them he swears even the air does.
But she doesn’t.
Or maybe she does and just chooses not to return to that version of herself again.
And that’s what kills him that she’s probably healed, while he’s still rehearsing mistakes.
He passes by the café one afternoon the same one where Amara used to write.
Her table’s empty, but a napkin rests there, scribbled with words from someone else.
Still, his mind fills in the ghost of her pen between fingers, eyes soft and thoughtful, a quiet strength he never learned to understand.
He whispers her name into the space she used to occupy, and for a second, he almost feels her there.
Then reality settles he let her go for someone who never even stayed.
That night, he can’t sleep.
He replays everything the day the woman who left returned, the rush of emotion that blinded him, the way he thought her presence was proof of destiny.
But it wasn’t destiny.
It was unfinished business masquerading as love.
And now he realizes that love isn’t something that returns.
It’s something that remains quietly, faithfully even when it’s unchosen.
He gets up, walks to the mirror, and stares at himself until the dawn breaks.
His reflection looks older. Not because of time, but because of truth.
He says her name again not as a wish, but as an apology.
“Amara.”
No answer.
Just the quiet hum of the city outside, carrying her name away.
He knows he can’t find her — not yet. Maybe not ever.
But somewhere deep inside, he makes a promise:
If their worlds ever cross again, he won’t rush this time.
He’ll listen before he loves.
Wait before he decides.
And when he reaches, it’ll be for the right reasons not the familiar ones.
Because now he knows love isn’t about who returns.
It’s about who stayed, even when no one noticed.

Dumped ,Because His Her Is Back Chapter 32 The Message That Wasn’t Meant for Me
Some mornings begin quietly.The kind of quiet that doesn’t demand anything from you it just sits there, like an old friend who knows not to speak first.That’s how this one starts.The sky still has sleep in it, half-awake and painted in soft gray, the kind that smells like rain before it falls.Amara stands by her window, mug in hand, watching the city breathe. It’s strange, she thinks, how healing doesn’t arrive like thunder. It doesn’t crash in with noise and fireworks. It seeps in quietly through routine, through time, through learning to exist again without rehearsing the pain.She’s better now. Not whole, not yet. But better.Her days have rhythm again mornings at the café, afternoons teaching, evenings wrapped in the quiet company of her own thoughts.And still, there are moments. Small, unexpected moments where she feels him.Liam.A shadow across a memory. A name caught between breaths.She doesn’t look for him anymore. But sometimes, the universe insists on speaking his lan

Dumped ,Because His Her Is Back Chapter 30 The Distance in Her Eyes
She came back on a Wednesday.No warning, no message. Just the soft sound of her key turning in the lock like it had never stopped fitting.“Elena?”He’d said her name like a question.She’d smiled small, uncertain, polite the kind of smile people wear when they’re still halfway somewhere else.“I’m home,” she’d said.But the word didn’t sound right.It echoed strange, like a foreign language she hadn’t spoken in years.He wanted to hug her, to pull her close and breathe her in the way he used to, but something held him back. Maybe it was the silence that clung to her, or maybe it was what he saw in her eyes not love, not even relief. Just exhaustion.They had dinner like strangers pretending to remember the steps of an old dance.She asked about work, he asked about the trip.She said Lisbon was colder than she expected.He said the city hadn’t changed much.Neither mentioned what really mattered why she’d gone so long without a call, why her hands trembled slightly when she lifted
Dumped ,Because His Her Is Back Chapter 29 The Ones Who Leave
People always think leaving is freedom.They forget it’s also a wound the kind that keeps bleeding, no matter how far you run.I left him on a Tuesday.The sky was the same color as the ocean before a storm, and he was standing by the window, saying nothing, like silence could save us. Maybe part of me hoped he’d stop me. That he’d finally fight for something. For us. But he just looked away, and that was how I knew it was over.No words. No tears. Just a quiet surrender that sounded too much like permission.I didn’t go far, not at first. A friend had a spare room in Lisbon, and I told myself it was temporary a few months to breathe, to think, to forget the way his eyes used to follow me even when I wasn’t looking. I found a job at a small publishing house, spent my days surrounded by other people’s words because mine were too heavy to speak.For a while, it worked. I rebuilt myself with routines coffee at dawn, quiet walks, pretending the loneliness was peace.But healing doesn’t
Dumped ,Because His Her Is Back Chapter 28 Where the Silence Breaks
He hadn’t meant for her to find it.Not that note. Not those words. Not after all this time.But fate has a way of betraying the things you try to bury gently, cruelly, inevitably.He woke that morning with the kind of weight that didn’t belong to dreams but to something heavier memory. The night had been restless, filled with half-formed thoughts and ghosts of sentences he’d never said.And then, there it was.Her name, glowing faintly on his screen.Not directly she hadn’t written to him. She’d written out loud, the way she always did. In that quiet corner of the internet where she turned her feelings into poetry and left them there like open letters to the wind.He saw it the moment it went up.“If this is you thank you. I’m okay now.”Five words.Simple.Steady.Devastating.He sat there for a long time, phone in hand, unread messages piling up below it. The room around him was dim, blinds half-closed. He could still hear the faint hum of the world waking outside, but inside n
Dumped ,Because His Her Is Back Chapter 27 The Page He Never Meant to Send
The morning was gentle, the kind that didn’t rush you awake.Sunlight stretched lazily across her curtains, brushing against her skin like an apology from the universe.Amara blinked into the quiet, listening to the faint hum of the city outside. Birds. The neighbor’s radio. The distant sound of a car starting. Ordinary things the kind she used to forget to notice.She reached for her phone on instinct, scrolling through messages, half out of habit, half out of loneliness.Nothing new.Her thumb hovered over her writing app. It had become a strange kind of therapy her corner of peace, where strangers left soft words in exchange for hers. She opened it, heart steady, until she saw it.A message.No name. Just an anonymous sender.At first, she thought it was spam. But then she saw the words:“You once wrote that the rain remembers what we forget. I saw it fall last night, and it sounded like you.”Her breath caught.She stared at the message for a long time, reading it over and over.
