Chapter 6

Author: Tiptik
I couldn't help but cry for a short while. I found the entire situation laughable.

At that point, I'd lost count of how many times Zeke had abandoned me for Scarlett. I'd gotten used to this feeling by now.

I looked at a couple who were strolling down the street while holding hands. Suddenly, I remembered that Zeke and I used to do that, too.

As the taxi drove off, I couldn't quite see the couple anymore. My memory of Zeke was starting to become a blur, too.

After I reached home, Zeke sent me an update.

"I just got Scarlett back to her place. She keeps throwing up. I don't know if I'll be able to go home tonight," his message read.

My mind went blank as I stared at my phone screen. If my memory served, this was the first time Zeke had ever sent me an update.

I once asked him how many people were going to a get-together, and he thought I was trying to make a big fuss out of nothing.

"Am I obligated to tell you every single detail? Don't you find that exhausting?"

Afterward, I

    Zeke grabbed my shoulders and pleaded, "I told you—I'd spend every single holiday with you from here on out."I removed his hands and scoffed. "It's a shame we won't have a future together, then."He was sobbing hysterically. He wouldn't leave me alone. He insisted that he didn't want to break up and that he wanted to leave the country with me. Since he wouldn't take no for an answer, I eventually gave in.Overjoyed and relieved, he pulled me into a hug. I was enjoying our final embrace with a bitter feeling in my heart.…One random morning, I quietly packed my bags. I opened the door to the bedroom and glanced at Zeke, who was still sound asleep. I softly bid him goodbye before glancing at my home, feeling nostalgic. If everything went as planned, this was probably the last time I'd ever see this place again.After leaving my home country, I planned on staying abroad for the rest of my life.I took a taxi to the airport alone. Afterward, I sat on a chair and waited for my tu

    Zeke took out his phone and called Scarlett. He stood in front of me and put the call on speaker. "Did you miss me, Zeke?" Scarlett asked gleefully after picking up the call.Scarlett's sudden question made Zeke feel awkward and anxious."Stop joking around, Scarlett," he hastily tried to resolve the situation. Scarlett didn't expect him to speak to her like that. If I had to guess, that was probably how they interacted with each other in private. When she froze, Zeke continued, "I think we should stop contacting each other so often, Scarlett. I have a girlfriend, after all—it's not appropriate for me to have such a close relationship with another woman."Scarlett couldn't believe what she was hearing. "What did you just say, Zeke?" she asked in disbelief. "Could you repeat that?"Zeke took a deep breath and said with a raised voice, "I said we should stop contacting each other so often. Do you understand me?""Oh… I get it now. Your control freak of a girlfriend is jealou

    I could tell that Zeke was hesitating. So, I maturely offered him a way out. "You should go pick her up. Just drop me off at a junction somewhere up front.""I can't do that—what about you?" he objected anxiously. "I think it's better if I drive you all the way there."I smiled and said, "It's fine. I can just get a taxi. You can just drop me off here."I pointed at the side of the road in front. He froze for a moment but stopped the car anyway.After I got out of the vehicle, he told me, "I'll make sure to head home earlier today."I nodded in response.He stared at me with a concerned expression and asked again, "Do you think you'll have trouble getting a cab? I could tell Scarlett to get to the venue by herself if it means less trouble for you."I looked up at him and urged him to get going. "I'll be fine. You should hurry up and go. It's not nice to be late."Eventually, Zeke's car drove off. I submitted my paperwork and checked the date on my phone. After doing some calc

    Zeke stared at me in disbelief. He didn't think I would turn him down—let alone ask him to bring someone else.I used to long for something like this to happen.I wasn't lying to him, though. I wasn't free tomorrow. I still had a lot of paperwork to submit before I left the country. Zeke was no longer smiling. He looked extremely disappointed. "What are you doing tomorrow? I could come with you," he suggested nervously."Oh, I have some travel documents I need to get in order. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the engagement party," I explained casually.Then, I continued, "It wouldn't make sense for you to miss your good friend's engagement party, though. You should go—I can get everything sorted myself."Upon hearing this, he asked in a careful manner, "If you can't make it, can I bring Scarlett?"Unlike how I was before, I didn't get emotional when I heard him mention Scarlett's name. "Sure," I replied with a smile.He scanned my face and tried to check if I was

    "What did you just say, Uncle Steve? What do you mean by 'leaving the country'?" Zeke asked."Haven't you heard?" Steve replied. "Joanna is leaving the country soon. In fact, I think this is the last time we're going to have a meal with her for the foreseeable future. It'll be quite difficult to meet up with her when she travels abroad."Steve didn't know about my relationship with Zeke. So, he wasn't surprised that the latter didn't know about my plans.Zeke's eyes welled up with tears when he heard that. Without a second thought, he got up and proceeded to drag me out of the room with him.I stood in the corner and didn't say a word. Moments later, he broke the silence."You're going abroad? What are you saying? Why didn't you discuss this with me? Why didn't you tell me about it?"His voice was trembling. He looked shocked and afraid.When I snapped back into my senses, I replied, "Oh, this? You and Scarlett were at the amusement park when I got the news. So, I didn't want to
