This man hit the "I-wanna-punch-you" button for the second time today. He bumped into me, again. Well, this wasn't the second actually but this was the third interaction we have. And it wasn't good, why? It only gives me more stress rather than bringing me the light mood I deserve from all the outcoming or staying or incoming stress in this life.

I already have the groceries in my hand and I am walking as fast as I can, because this scene is catching too much attention which is what I hated the most. I was almost near the exit when a hand grabbed my arm from behind and turned me to him, it was not hard or soft. I looked at my arm he’s grabbing, he immediately let go of it.

I bowed a little, “Sorry.” He said. I cleared my throat. “For what? Which one?”

He scratched the back of his head, and answered. “Both.” After that, I couldn’t find the words to say because are there any?

I nodded and walked towards the exit. But then again, he followed my way. He walked faster than me and made his body block me on the way to the exit. I was starting to get irritated. What does he want this time?

“Yes?” I asked him with a neutral emotion plastered on my face.

“T-that’s it?” He asked.

“That what?” I am really confused right now.

“That’s all you’re gonna say?” My brows furrow.

“Should I add some more to it? Am I required to give you more answers?” This is really getting on my nerves.

“I mean, you’re really not mad?” I sighed, this man is really testing my temper. But then, to make the scene short. I’ll explain truthfully.

“Yes, why? Because I do not have the energy to chit and chat with you. Also, I am not in the mood to entertain you. I just want to go home.” I’m starting to panic. “People are staring and the number 1 reason I wanna go home? It’s because I hate attention. And people here are looking because we’re catching that attention thing!” I caught my breath after that. I looked at him and he looked shocked.

“May I go now?” Still catching my breath.

He just nodded, I bowed a little and made my way to the exit door. I just need to get some things but other unwanted things, people made their way to me. How can life be this great!

I’m going to pack my things for the leave I’m going to take that will last for about 2-3 weeks. No cellphones, but of course I’ll bring them with me in case of an emergency. When I got to the building of my condo. I saw a familiar car parked in front of the entrance. I stopped on my tracks and looked at the man who went missing for a week.

And within those 7 days he didn’t even bother to call, he wasn’t worried he got no calls from me. Well, I guess he got used to it. I swallowed, can I face him now? After witnessing with my own two eyes, the infidelity he’s done to our relationship. How could he? He reassured me what was going on between them was pure work and nothing more nothing less. But kissing and bringing her to his condi unit part of the contract? How ironic.

I continued walking and when he saw me my face and eyes never turned to his. I continued looking in front and didn’t mind the calling he made.

“Amy.”

He should know I never come crawling back to him.

“Amy?”

The crying I did wasn’t enough but at least I made it. What was he doing here anyway?

“Athyst?”

If he continues and grabs my hand I’ll tell straight to his face that we’re done.

“Amethyst!”

I stopped on my track and did not even bother to face. He was the one who called, that's why he should be the one to adjust.

“What’s got into you?” I looked for his eyes and made mine cold for him to see I wasn’t interested anymore.

How could I love this kind of man?

How could I love a cheater?

“We’re done, I’m breaking up with you. I don’t wanna do this anymore.”

He held my hand and gripped it tightly. “No! What’s this all about? Was it because I was gone for a week? That’s why I’m here to make it up to you.”

Anger rose up to my head.

I faced the asshole. “Wow! You could never make it up to me. For what you did? Forgiving is not an option.” I click the up button in the elevator.

“Amy, aren’t you too shallow?”

“Cheating is not shallow.” I smirked after saying that. He looked shocked at my revelation.

“Think I did and will not know? Do and think better next time.” I patted his shoulder and left himdumbfounded.

I'm done chasing and I'm done being the kept girlfriend. I mean, fiance. I almost forgot the ring. I went back at Tim and removed the ring infront of him.

"Give this to Clarissa, it will suit her. I should have known, the look in your eyes before while staring at her. You never looked at me that way. Bye, Tim." He doesn't need closure, after all, it's his fault.
