~Aoife~ The sun shone through the sheer curtains, making me feel alive, but my body curled when all the memories from the night before flooded back into my mind. Strangely, your body knows exactly when to shut down all emotions while asleep. With open eyes, I could feel the warmth of sun rays on my body, and an unintentional tear automatically rolled from my eyes. “Welcome to reality, Aoife.” I didn’t know when a single tear turned into weeping. In weeping, there was the truth, a story of love told in tears. A tale of pain and a broken heart. How could he think like this about Matt and me? I saw my ripped blouse on the other side of the bed. I feel the same. A ripped-off soul from Xander’s hand. My body was aching, and my dizzy head. It took me a minute to sit on my bed. It must be the stress. I got up from the bed and got myself into the bathroom. The sensation of throwing up was still there. I looked at myself in the mirror and busted into tears again. Stop, Aoife. Stop hu
~Aoife~Heartbreak comes in waves. Slowly, they will pull you into the sea, and you will never know when the ground under your feet was swept away. They come at such random moments, replacing a feeling of normalcy with those familiar tears. Yet, in time, those waves lessen and let the good memories flood.Sitting on the floor, I cried and smiled for the moments we spent together; Matt left this place.It was understood he would never see me again. How could I expect from him he was hurt? He was hurt, and I was the reason. From the beginning of our relationship, he carried this burden in his heart. How difficult it would have been for him to let Xander pursue his love for me. And today, when he thought about opening his heart, I crushed it into small pieces like glass.At this moment, I wish death for myself. Let this pain subside inside me and let me die, GOD. I am not a good person, and I hurt people who loved me. I didn’t know when my sobbing turned into a slumber. A familiar voice
~Aoife~ The sight in front of my eyes and shook me to the core. I stood in front of them, baffled and astonished. I fluttered my eyes a few times to clear the vision in front of my eyes. Zareena and Xander were exchanging rings with each other. I came to my senses when people around me started clapping. “Congratulation,” “Yeah, Xanreenaaaa,” People who walked towards them pushed me aside. My body’s senses were dead. Everyone shouts, and the thunder of clapping suppresses my sobs. He lip-locked her in front of me. I lost him. I lost my love. That was the only thing I felt at that moment. “Xander,” I whisper as I grab my chest. Suddenly Neeral grabbed my numb body, and I lost my energy to stand appropriately. “Aoife... OMG,” she murmured while looking at him. She wanted to talk to him, but I grabbed her hand. “No,” I whispered. “But.. Aoife,” “I lost my friend, and today I lost my love.” Tears blurred my eyesight. “Let me congratulate them,” I grabbed her hand to sta

I found a love for me.Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead.As Xander settled in the taxi, a piece of soothing music brushed his ears. The sound sifted him through the memories of someone special. His heart crumbled with this song, which reminded him he was not lucky enough for this day to celebrate.Baby, I’m dancing in the dark.With you.... (Ed Sheeran)The driver drove towards his destiny; Xander looked around. The city looks different today.“Will you please lower the sound?” he exhaled.The taxi driver gazed at him in the rear mirror as he showed enmity crossed his eyes.“Come on, man, it’s valentine,” he ruminated.“I don’t do valentines.” Xander bawled.The taxi driver rolled his eyes. “Then you better do it.” Today is Valentine’s day, and every eye can see the shades of love sprinkled throughout the city. Wherever the red color will soothe your eyes.Balloons, flowers, dresses, hearts — everything was in the same shade.“Are you new to San Francisco, sir?” In his
After grabbing a white flower bouquet from the shop, Xander looked at his Rolex on his wrist’s perimeter. He still had time to reach Arix Textiles. It was five minutes from his current location, so he thought of walking. He pulled out his phone and followed the blue line on the google map.The wind stroked his hair as it felt the aroma of San Francisco telling him something. The warmth of this city had something special. Xander knew it was famous for its Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, the former Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, Fisherman’s Wharf, and its Chinatown district.But today, he felt something different inside. A stranger told him something he had wanted to hear for a long time. A small boy touched his heart as if it had never happened before.Although he liked to play with his nephew, it was something special. He didn’t complain, not a single time after he met him.He seemed more excited than if the messages were genuine or not; then, something was definitely coming his way.
As Brandon introduced himself to Xander, Xander saw him frowning and scrunching as if trying to remember where he’d seen him.“Xander,” he patted their handshake with another hand.“Is this Brandon from our middle school?” Xander uttered confusing words.Xander and Brandon were friends from middle school.But as Brandon’s father shifted his business, he came to San Francisco after middle school.“It’s nice to meet you. It’s been a long time. Right?” Brandon hugged Xander.Aoife was looking at them as the professional meet was a friendly gathering. “Yeah, what happened to your braces?” Xander teased Brandon.Brandon rolled his eyes as Xander reminded him how he felt wearing braces in middle school. They chuckled as they ensconced themselves in Brandon’s office.Aoife followed them.“I didn’t know Raphael is your brother,” Brandon informed.Xander seems better than before. Aoife called Brandon in a crocked voice.“Can I talk to you for a second?”It seems like she wanted to leave this p
~Aoife~It’s a beautiful day. We three went to a carnival near Chinatown. It’s not only valentine’s day; it’s the Chinese new year too. And we would like to surprise our nanny. She’s of Chinese origin.Alex and I took her out on our date. Sometimes I feel lucky that I live in San Francisco. We could see all the world’s cultures—Chinese, Indian, Mexican, etc.Luckily, my son’s nanny is a noble lady. She’s one of my best support. We three entered the carnival, where we enjoyed some Chinese dishes like moon cake, dumplings, and spring rolls. Alex was more than happy. I never allowed him to feel he needed a father. Although the last time, he asked me.“Who is my dad? Mom.” It was a painful question for me, but with a smile, I answered him. “You can choose whoever person you like as your dad.”It was a joke from my side, but he took it seriously. From there, he picked different actors, sports persons, and whoever he liked as his dad. So today, he chose the great Jackie Chan as his father.
