The message had just dropped when a strange number messaged me. My eyes narrowed as I opened the message___ *Julian, I'm sorry. I know you don't trust me anymore and doubt all my actions toward you, but I'm truly sorry. I regretted everything the moment I left you, but my pride kept me away. The few years we spent together were the best years of my life, but I realized this too late. I know I do not deserve your forgiveness, but I want you to know that I regret everything... I really regret it.

I thought back to five years ago when I foolishly rebelled against my parents, even cutting off ties with them. Now, here I was, battered and bruised, left with nothing but regret. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the weight of it all. Seeing me cry, Titus, who had been visibly angry moments ago, suddenly panicked. "Wait, you're really crying? When I got your text yesterday, I rushed back. Who hurt you? Tell me, I'll make them pay! "Mom and Dad are downstairs. It's been five years. They've really missed you."

“Did you tell the doctor to write that I was mentally unstable after the miscarriage?” He was quiet. He then said: “I was concerned about you.” “That’s not an answer.” “It’s the only one you’re getting.” He leaned forward. “Unless...” “Unless what?” “Unless you drop the charges. Come visit me. We talk. Like we used to.” His eyes were dark. “You know you want to.” I stared at him. At the man who knew every button to push. And then I did something I hadn’t planned. I smiled.

Adrian gets up and starts leaving. He can feel the weight of her words echoing in his mind. The bitterness in her voice cuts deep. “People forget after committing mistakes, but they definitely get the fruits of their deeds; I see only regrets in your fate.” she screamed. He knows she's right. As Adrian walks away, he can't shake off the feeling of guilt and regret that now consumes him. He knows he has hurt her deeply, and the consequences of his actions are now staring him in the face. The harsh reality of his mistakes hits him like a ton of bricks, and he realizes that he may never be able to make things right again. The words of the woman he once loved haunt him as he walks away, knowing

Eva looked up at him before running her eyes on the four sentences that were on the letter. She brought her hands down disappointedly, sighed, and flung the letter away. She did not want anything that would take her beautiful smiles away. The letter could not stride as far as she wanted, so it landed on Jame's feet. James bent, picked the letter up, and read out loud. "I regret writing to you again over what is simply solvable. I regret even more that you failed to honor my last invitation. Well, it might interest you to know that you are about to make May 26, a day of weeping.

“What’s the letter for?” “Well, we’ll never know unless you open it.” I hate this guy! I took the envelope and roughly tore its edges away, this time, I hoped to tear the actual letter. I didn’t. I unfolded the letter and my gaze hesitated at the title, “Letter of Stalwart Promotion.” It didn’t sink yet so I read it again.

> "When you told me you were pregnant, I panicked. I was terrified I’d hurt you, afraid I’d turn into the man who destroyed his own family like my father did. But my fear turned me into a coward. I ran away." Her breathing turned shaky. A quiet sob escaped her lips. > "You know what I regret most? It’s not losing you. It’s losing your trust." > "You stood strong on the ruins I left behind, and you kept going. While I—the man you loved—crumbled and vanished." She cried harder. The letter didn’t contain sweet promises or pleas to come back. There was no "please forgive me" or "I can’t live without you." Just truth. Guilt. Regret.

His unique scent still filters into my nostrils. I suddenly regret not making the most of my time with him. I regret not taking pictures to remember him by. I regret not going on dates. I regret not being able to show how much I love him. I don't regret knowing him or meeting him as much as I should. In my own house, there was a letter.
