Break Down
1160 Words
Just hearing the word 'argue' already made sofia sure who the guest who came was, "dominic!?"
"ah... yes. that lowly man, i forgot his name." cindy replied innocently, "i don't understand why you're still with that irresponsible man."
"shut up, woman!" sofia didn't want to get advice from a woman who was openly in front of her flirting with her husband. he immediately rushed out to see the situation, and was able to breathe a sigh of relief they weren't having a fistfight like before.
dominic noticed his fiancé's presence, "ah, finally someone i've been looking for has appeared."
"you're looking for me?" sofia thought she was going to meet skylar.
dominic laughed disdainfully, "you're really out of control after seeing him again, huh?"
uncontrollable?
"you mean?" sophia doesn't understand.
dominic doesn't like him pretending not to understand like that, it's clear here he is at the house of a woman he doesn't know with arsenio, "you can't be patient until i speak directly about eva!"
"so that's the problem?" sofia asked back disapprovingly, "i wouldn't have come here if you had chosen to tell me the truth!" he defended himself strongly, "you hate people who lie, but forget to look in the mirror if you've been doing it for five years! five years, dominic miller!"
what a mind blowing knowing all this.
"it was just a mistake," dominic said not wanting to be humiliated, "he's the one who keeps teasing me after all. you imagine if your precious arsenio did that to you."
"why is my name being dragged into your own mess?" arsenio protested, "sofia didn't do what you say."
sofia doubted arsenio's defense, but didn't say anything about it, "look. i don't understand why i'm hiding this? are you afraid i won't accept the fact that you have a daughter?"
"you wouldn't understand, sofia." dominic refuses to give reasons for not being honest.
"explain to me. slow down, nothing but hiding it!" sofia snapped angrily, "or are you afraid of being caught cheating on me!? you, assh*le!" he was amazed at eva not downplaying the fact that they were having an affair behind her back.
he had to endure being a mistress for more than five years, now he had to find out the fact she cheated on him.
"i already said he seduced me first."
"you seduced me!" eva voiced her opinion and continued to be scapegoated by him.
"oh yeah? where's the proof?" dominic challenges with confidence. he knew he had no proof so it would be hard to believe "you see, sofia? they all hate me. maybe it was also arsenio and mateo's trap to ruin our relationship."
"you, b*stard!" arsenio is really sick of hearing bullshit keep coming out of dominic's lips. maybe she should just silence him for a few days or weeks until he wakes up. unfortunately, his intentions were blocked by cindy.
cindy shook her head, "don't make a crowd, arsenio."
"to hell with that! let me go, cindy!" arsenio rebelled.
"no." cindy still refuses to let him go.
the condition of her face being injured, if a fight broke out, she could end up being hospitalized.
"is admitting your own mistakes so hard, dominic!?" sofia asks can't believe he made a composition to get rid of his accusations. his only wish is that he admits, he can forgive because he also cheated on him, but his face is still the same, hard as he stands.
this situation awakened his deepest heart.
dominic hasn't changed from dominic five years ago.
sofia couldn't hold back her disappointment, "you know what? i'm done with this. i'm home." he needs time. she cannot look at him without disgust and disappointment.
"you think i'll let you?" dominic caught his hand who was about to pass him to where the parked car was.
"let me go." sofia ruled sharply.
dominic was a little surprised by his cold tone, but it wasn't enough to make him give up, "this matter must be finished now. are you satisfied now?"
sofia chose silence, pushed her hand away from his arm.
dominic was surprised again until his strength disappeared for a while.
sofia immediately rushed to the car, and realized that this was not her car, but arsenio's.
'i think i should order a cab.'
sofia took her cell phone, ordered a cab in a nearby area.
"come in."
"eh?" sofia didn't realize there was arsenio beside her.
"hurry up. before he goes berserk and chases us," arsenio said, opening the door for him.
sofia glanced at her side, and sure enough dominic was running towards her. without thinking he got into the car.
arsenio got in right after him, locking it a second before dominic arrived beside his car. he waved a friendly hand before stepping on the gas to run away.
sofia took a deep breath, not long after her phone vibrated.
a message from dominic.
from: dominic
this isn't over yet, and you chose him?
you blamed me for cheating on you five years ago when you've been doing it ever since he came back. right, miss. harrington?
have a f*cking nice day.
sofia put down her phone, then hugged her knees.
arsenio glanced briefly, "it's okay."
sofia buried her head between her knees even more.
no.
it's never be okay.
her relationship hit rock bottom.
it's never okay.
unknowingly, sofia was crying silently.
***
"you need something?"
sofia shook her head weakly.
"tell me if you need anything, ok?"
sofia didn't respond, crawled onto the bed and pulled the blanket up to her neck.
what a day.
sofia checked again her phone vibrated.
another message from dominic, this time he sent a photo too.
a photo that broke his heart so much that he couldn't stand up anymore.
photo of dominic embracing two women in bunny clothes with lots of liquor bottles on the table.
'patience, sofia.'
dominic tries to crawl under her skin.
he can get through it.
he can.
i felt my phone vibrate again.
sofia checked it, this time she couldn't control her disappointment, she screamed as loudly as possible to express the pain and tightness in her chest, "aaaaahhhhh!!!"
"sofia!?" arsenio heard the screams immediately rushed to the bedroom. he jumped on the bed to calm her down, "hey. hey. it's okay. it's okay."
"no!" sofia rebelled moving her feet. how could everything be okay if after seeing the photo of the two bunny-clad women accompanying dominic were on top of him half-naked in bed? "no! no! no!" he refused to hear arsenio's soothing words.
no meaning.
relationship is broken.
five wasted years.
"aaahhh!!! sofia screamed before her body lost its strength and fell into her arms. she started sobbing there, "why...?"
why did everything end up going wrong like this?
arsenio couldn't answer, only sorry for his past mistakes, he suffered like this. he could only caress her hair in hopes of lightening the wound in her heart right now.
