Chapter 22: Broken promises

• Zeng took in a deep breath. "That day, maybe I had known that it was coming to an end. He came to our shared room and gathered his belongings. He said he had made a choice. And he chose a woman. He had decided to get married, with some girl. He said he'll be happier with her. He told me the news and I didn't know how to take it. As much as I wanted him to be happy, to my core, I was nothing but selfish and so I pleaded to him to stay. I tried everything.
• How can I let him go? I loved him more than any other person ever could, I loved him so damn much. How can someone else come barging in and take him away from me? So I threw a fit. I couldn't let him go, I just couldn't.
• I guess, I couldn't handle a break up back then. How could I? He was my first.
