A Broken Hearted Man

Marcus brought the car to a halt, looked at Aila and parked the car at the side of the road. He is still the same Marcus as before, he can't bear to see his woman cry, especially if it is because of him. 

The main reason he never had the courage to tell her what he was going through in his life when they were together. He knows one way or another that, he will break her heart. And he chose that route, to hope that he will be able to come back to her. Marcus hates the option of having her beside him in that condition. 

He knows that Aila is a woman that is bound to do great things and not just sulk beside a person who is on life support, unsure if he will make it out alive the next day. 

He faced her, helped her, wiped her tears. He felt like his heart is being excavated from his chest. Aila felt his compassion towards her. But she can't be too soft with him, she can't give him the chance to break her heart and soul once more.
