When I Met Him

I bought a cake because my boyfriend and I are 5th anniversaries today. After I bought the cake, I went straight to Tristan’s condominium. I tried to call him many times, but he didn’t answer any of my calls, so I thought maybe Tristan had a surprise for me, so I happily went to Tristan’s condo. When I opened the door, I smiled when I saw the light in the living room turned off, I strolled so he could not hear my footsteps, but I stopped when I stepped on something. I looked at the floor; I immediately used the flashlight of my phone. I was dumbfounded when I saw some of his dress and the girl’s dress on the floor; I dropped the cake because of what I saw. I covered my mouth in shock; I wish I had entered the wrong condo; I took courage and walked towards his room; it’s good that the door didn’t close, so I slowly opened it. And I saw him and her best friend doing something that best friends shouldn’t be doing; I couldn’t help but say his name. “Tristan ...” They stopped what they were doing, and they both looked in my direction; they were both shocked. Before moving from where I was standing, Tristan approached me first and held my hands as he wrapped the towel around his lower waist. “Let me explain,” he said. “Explain? I caught you in the act; what more explanation do you want to say?” I asked him angrily while I was looking at his best friend “She’s my best friend- ..” “Exactly!” I cut to what he had to say. “She’s your best friend; why did you do that?” I asked tremblingly. He would have held my hand, but I backed away from him a little because I hated him. “Please, babe ...” I shook. “We’re so done!” After I said that, I ran away from that place while crying. ~ I woke up because of that dream. “Still hunting me,” I said to myself. I got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. It wasn’t just a dream, because it happened to me until now. I still dream about what happened three days ago. I love him, but that’s no reason for me to be blind to what he did to me. After taking a shower, I went out of the bathroom; my phone was ringing due to the notification. So I went to my bed and picked up my phone; I looked at what it was. I saw that I had a message from my assistant, so I opened it. I dropped my phone and hurried out of the room; on my way out, I met our maid. “Where’s mommy?” I asked him. “They are in the living room and have a visit-” I didn’t finish what she was going to say; I went down immediately. When I got to the living room, I stopped. “What are they doing here?” I asked mommy Mommy stood up and approached me. “I thought you were in the office right now.” I shook, mommy pulled me to sit next to them, but I stiffened. “What did I read? On the company’s announcement board?” “That’s why we’re here to talk about it so that everything can be settled and so that we can prepare as well,” Tristan’s mommy said with a smile. I looked severely at Tristan. “Nothing should be settled, after what he-” “Tristan explained to us about that; he forgave you, so you don’t have to worry,” Tristan’s mommy interrupted me. I frowned at what Tristan’s mom said, so I looked at Tristan again; he was just smiling at me. “Wait! Forgive me? I did nothing wrong; he cheated on me,” I said angrily. Suddenly Tristan’s mother’s reaction changed; they also stood up. “After you did that to my son, do you still feel like talking now ?!” I turned my attention to daddy. “Dad, I didn’t-” I received a loud slap from dad. “That’s enough! You made a mistake, and he forgave you. He proposes to you, and you answer him with” yes, “what else do you want? Tristan is trying to clean up the dirt you made!” “I HATE YOU!” I yell at daddy. “If that’s what you want to believe, there’s nothing I can do to make you believe me, your daughter,” I said. Then, I ran back to my room. I was about to enter the room when someone held my hand, so I turned to look at him. When I saw who it was, I gave him a loud slap after I withdrew my hand. “Happy? What did I do to you? For you to punish me like this?” I tearfully asked him. “Because you were stubborn, I love you, but you chose to break up with me. So I did that because I can’t afford to lose you” he hold my hand; I tried to grab it, but he was stronger than me. He put the ring on me when he let go of my hand. I remove it again in my finger the ring, and I throw it in his face. “Do you think I will stay after what you did to me?” I tearfully told him. “You fooled me, Tristan! Do you know what hurts? I trust you and your best friend!” He came over to me and hugged me tightly. “Please don’t leave me, babe. I know I made a mistake; I hope you also give me a chance to fix that mistake.” I let go as he hugged me. “The chances are many, but the trust that you have broken? It will not be rebuilt again; it is already there; even if you are no longer fooling me, but I will think, and I will still think that you are fooling me because you have already done that to me. Sorry, I can’t be with you as I remember what you did to cheat on me. “ After I told him that, I left him outside my room. When I entered my room, I immediately locked it.
