The Midnight Lover

Chapter 4: Sunrise (2)

She is crying. His heart is crying. But he couldn't hold her in his arms like he always did, the only thing he could do was be quiet, and turn away from the place.

The man really listened to her.

Selina let the tears flow through her fingers, she heard his footsteps fade away, slowly leaving the room. It wasn't until the living room door was closed with a monotonous sound that Selina allowed herself to let go. She collapsed to the ground, comfortably crying like a baby. Her beautiful face was wet with tears, her heart ached when she had to leave the man she loved the most in this life. He didn't belong to her, that fact broke her heart into a hundred pieces, how painful it was.

It's all her own fault. Selina fell in love with a married man, she will never get the true happiness she desires.

...

Before Selina drowned in grief, her best friend's phone call rescued her from the mess.

"Hey, Selina, do you have time? Would you like to have coffee with me?"

Selina tried to take deep breaths to make her voice sound as normal as possible. But crying for two hours ruined her sweet voice, turning it into a hoarse, sour sound. She will drink a glass of honey lemon later, but probably not now.

"Two hours later, okay? I need time to put on my makeup and change my clothes."

Oh my god, her voice sounds horrible. Although Selina tried to talk as comfortably as possible, her best friend noticed something was wrong right away.

"Selina, what's wrong with your voice? Did something happen? Do you have a cold? Or a sore throat? I'll come to your house right now!"

Although she appreciates Bella's concern, Selina never wanted to let her worry so much. Bella has always been her protector, Selina's sweet exterior often attracts trouble and weirdos, it's Bella who is always there to protect her. Maybe that's why Bella has become so overprotective, she can almost sense anything unusual around Selina with extreme sensitivity and precision. While Selina is still not confident enough to reveal Yami's existence to her best friend.

"Gosh, don't worry, I'm perfectly fine. Just stay put and don't go anywhere, just see you in two hours, okay?"

Selina could hear Bella's sigh of resignation, she could even imagine the annoyed frown on her face. But of course, Bella would compromise as long as it was for Selina's sake.

"Fine, but make sure you're okay. I'll show up whenever you need me, okay?"

Selina giggled, she felt so much better after the tears she had just shed.

"Thank you Bella, love you so much!"

Hanging up the phone, Selina stood up from the ground. She pushed her long hair back, using a hair tie to tie it back. Selina walked barefoot into the bathroom, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were already puffy from crying too much, and her red eye rims looked pathetic. She put her head on the sink, scooped up a handful of water and patted her face, wiping away the traces of salty tears. Selina took a deep breath, her two-piece nightgown falling from her body, then being tossed into a laundry basket in the corner of the room.

The water was already filled in the bathtub, the heat spilled all over the closed room towels, like a hazy mist. Selina used her hand to test the warmth, and after she felt it was enough, she went inside.

The warm water slowly wrapped around the young woman's slender body, Selina closed her eyes to relax, sinking her whole body under the water, until only half of her face was exposed in the air. This is her way to relieve fatigue and relieve stress. In the meantime, it is necessary to relax your mind, not think about anything, any sadness will eventually flow with the water.

This approach has always worked for her, but perhaps not for today, nor for her heart's issue.

"Huhuhu..."

Tears welled in the corners of her eyes, and Selina opened her eyes wide as she watched the mist hovering over her head, despite the tears streaming down her face.

Since her parents died, Selina has been used to facing difficulties alone, living alone in a large apartment, eating meals alone in an empty kitchen, sleeping alone in a cold room without air. warm. She can do it all ALONE! Just not ALONE when she has Yami by her side!

How can she return to those painful, exhausting days, how can she let go of a man who can give her everything but his life? Yami is everything to her, every second, every minute, every warmth given to each other in tender arms, everything is her treasure. She couldn't live without Yami, she was a terrible loser.

Selina has hypnotized herself to forget the fact that Yami belongs to another woman. As long as he was here, lying next to her every night, giving her the warmth she longed for, nothing else mattered. She understood how damnable her actions were, but she couldn't save herself. It's too late for her to pull her feet out of this love's mud, she can only stay there, frantic struggling or accepting her fate, letting the thick liquid engulf everything. Both her heart and her self-respect.

Even if she suffers, she won't give up on Yami. She knew it was wrong, but there was nothing she could do about it. Selina just needs to cry loudly, cry all her tears, then she will stubbornly pick up all the broken pieces of her heart, meticulously glue them together, then put them back in her chest. And until Yami once again appears at her door at twelve o'clock tonight, she will continue to greet him with the most passionate kiss.

After all, most of all, Yami was the only one who gave her everything she wanted. She needs his love.
