I reached home quite late. It was because of the bad traffic. The bloody bridge hasn’t finished
renovated. I could swear with thousand words or vulgar but I was just too tired to even pick the best vulgar. My head was full. Full with so many things. Parked my car in the garage. I walked straight to my room. “Fuh…!” I whined.
I looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was 7pm. Weird but true that I had been driving for 2 hours from office to my house. Yes, I know Penang is not big. I really can’t stand with the traffic in Penang.
My legs were shivering. Tired for sure.
I switched on my laptop. Clicked on my Mozilla browser and automatically directed to my blog.
“Haha so many comments...” I laughed after the whole day stress at work with bad traffic as the
bonus.
Beep!
My cell phone rang. It was a SMS. I slowly took my cell phone and open the SMS in my inbox. I didn’t know who but I hope it’s her.
Yes. I was right. It was Katherine.
Kath.
I started to read the SMS.
Right after I finished reading it, my eyes began to get wet.
Here was how the SMS written:
“Dan, my boyfriend wants me to go to KL and meet him this May and he already book flight ticket to Bangkok end of this year”.
I was shock.
Devastated to be exact. My heart crushed. Crushed badly.
I couldn’t stop crying. “Why Kath… why?” I screamed in my heart. I knew I will lose again in this
battle.
I called her.
There was no words could came out from our mouth. Not even
mutter. We cried. That was how we express our feeling.
Sorrowfulness. Very sad. I never cry so loud like that since primary school. I just could no longer bear the pain.
“I give you time Kath ok? Don’t make any decision yet please”.
“I’m sorry Dan, I can’t afford to hurt you anymore. I love you so much and I love him too but you know I can’t leave him. Our relationship is 5 year now… you know…”
“I don’t want to hear about it anymore Kath! Please…”
“I’m sorry Dan… I have to leave you. I don’t want you anymore… sorry… I can’t leave him and I know I’m very mean by making this decision”
“Kath, please… I can’t live without you. You’re my
oxygen. I can’t live without you… I can’t breathe”
“It’s my fault Dan. I’m sorry… please forgive me…”
She hung up.
My head went blank. Nothing in my mind. I didn’t feel sad anymore. I didn’t feel happy too. I felt nothing. I didn’t see my future anymore. I had no reason to live.
I went to my study table. I took some pills from the table. The one Kath gave to me when I was sick. Different type of pills.
I chose Paracetamol. Written on the tablet -- 650.
I called her. She answered the call and I could tell that she was sad and still crying.
“Kath, you know I can’t live without you. You don’t love me anymore…”
I started to munch the pills. A handful.
“No..!!! Dan…!!! Please…!”
