This is just a story base on my imagination.
My Girlfriend and I have been together for 4 years, we were when we were in college. We had many dreams in life and one of that is to build a family together. I live in a fancy life. Unlike her, her parents were farmers. We both took Engineering and her status in life did not hinder her from studying.
Everything was fine, until I graduated she didn't pass the one subject, so I first graduated first. My parents were so disappointed to me because they said I was looking for a woman like her. But I never regrets that I loved her. Maybe she's not every man wants. She's not Ideal but for me she's like a gold a treasurable one.
I heard before, when she was in high school she was a Valedictorian, when I met her she was a dean lister. I wondered why she didn't pass.
She repeatedly didn't pass for 2 years.
"Someday, I will be successful", she promised. I could not help but sneer at everything she said.
"Really? You've failed for 2 years! Where did you say succesful? I became an Engineer here at the famous Company but you? What now Christine!" I accidentally yelled, I saw her crying.
"You idiot!" I shouted and left my condo. Actually we both live in the same roof waiting for her to graduate so that we can settle.
But how can that be? If she can't Graduate.
"Bro? Your standard is low for women, stupid idiot", my troops said. Actually I envy them. Because they have all become Successful. While us? I'm the only one whose job has become stable.
"We are gone", I promised so that they would not make fun of me again.
I met Andrea, she is the head on our site, she is different from Christine. While Christine and I together, we were dating Andrea. I also became cold to her. In those six years I threw away everything we had together.
It's Sunday when I came home, I have never been to a condo since I was dating Andrea. And now I will break up to Christine.
I saw her lying on the study table, she had just finished making plates. Actually she did a good job. I just don't know why she just failed. That's why I wrapped my clothes. I just plan to give her the Condo.
She seemed woke up to the noise so she confronted me.
"Are you leaving? Where are you going?" She asked, her eyes were puffy.
"My Exam is open, I will pass it now and I can Graduate!" She promised happily and hugged me. I let go of her embrace.
"Find a Man who will wait for you to be successful! Because I'm fed up with you! You're embarrassing ... what my colleagues are saying to you. You're ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN MY LIFE!" I shouted in front of her. She could not speak.
"Yes! I already have another woman, she's not like you. She's a keeper. She's smart, rich, has looks all in her. So I don't want to settle my life with you. The future of my children with you, "I promised, but she just hugged me.
"I'M BREAKING UP WITH YOU! YOU'RE A FAILURE!"
She just cried crying since I left her. I was shocked if I cut him off.
When we were gone I heard again from our Common friend that she had fallen. My friends at the Bar also saw her drinking. Her life became miserable. I made her cry outside our house. Begging me to come back.
She went to the office but I ignored her, she did everything. Until I saw her on the road. Three men following her. So what I did was I pulled her. The men were scared so they ran away.
"Why did you save me from those Rapists?" She asked.
"Do you know why I left you because you were a failure, now you showed up again and proved that you are like that. Organize your life! Organize yourself! No one will love you if you are like that, be Succeful as you said "I'll just talk to you again when you become like that," I said and turned my back on her. She held my hand.
"You know what ... I did everything for you, I studied hard but it wasn't enough. Because everything you see is my failure. You should be with me. You should have cheered me up, where were you at the time of welding I'm weak? Then I was ashamed. I ruin everything just for you. Now? I don't know how to start again. Because a man who believed in me then, is now in the hands of others" she said and wiped her tears. "Someday, I will be successful, but I will never come back to you. I'm sorry", she added.
Since then I have never seen her again, I have been happy with Andrea. I enjoy everything. When I drink everything, it's all mine.
I also heard from our common friends that Christine's parents are dead, I feel bad for her .. I don't know the exact time. At exact date.
One day, on my way home to the condo I saw Andrea packing her things.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"I'm sorry, there is a bad company in another country that wants to take me. Those are also big opportunities for me," she said, soI looked at her.
"What about me? I don't like LDR!" I yelled
"I'm sorry, but this is my dream .. I'm breaking up with you," she said causing me to cry.
"What the? Don t do this to me!" I shouted.
"Just go back to your Ex, there's a chance that I won't settle ... I'm sorry I can't be with you anymore ..." she said and turned her back on me.
"I'm sorry, I want to reach my dream without you," she said last before leaving. I was weak at what she said.
I always catch her cheating on me but I never left her. She left me just because of her dream ...
Is this my karma?
When Andrea left me there I realized everything, everything. I left the woman doing nothing else to decide me. The woman I truly loved I hurt.
I looked for her for a few years, I was fired from the firm I work, I just want to find Christine. I heard she graduated and passed on the Board exam. I regret everything. I'm always at home ... drinking. Crying while repenting of what I have done.
I never love again, because Christine is still there.
I looked for her on Social media but she was not there. Until I heard that she came home from the Philippines. I was very happy then so I went to where she was coming home to the condo.
I already sold it because no one lives there, but she bought it. This time I will thicken my face. I will not release her again. But before I could enter I saw a man she met. I saw her sweet smile causing my tears dropping.
I went home crying ... She found something new. A few days ago I drowned myself in alcohol. Our common friends heard that.
I went for a walk where we last met, someone was following me but I let it go. I want to die too. I was about to be stabbed when suddenly a car blew its horn.
And I saw Christine out there. My face lit up. She put me in her car and drove me to the beach.
"How are you?" I asked.
"I'm a failure right?" She answered causing my chest to ache.
"Please Comeback to me ... can we go back to the days I call you mine?" I promised her but she just smiled.
"Years ago, my father had a car accident .. that was the time I failed one subject I did not pass it on time. I never told you because I do not want to distract you. My second failure ' That was the time when your parents bought our land and kicked my mother out, and that was the time I failed. But I never told you because I do not want you to hate your family, "there were tears in her eyes while talking me.
I cannot talk.
"My third failure, because of you. I just took your strength before. I chose you even though they didn't like me. Even if they underestimated me, I still chose you. But what hurts more is that you are also one of those who despise me, " she said then took a deep breath.
"I'M A FAILURE BEFORE," she said and stared at me.
"I'm thankful now, because if you did not do that I wouldn't be here today. If you hadn't left me, I would have been hurt and humiliated. I will not be like this today. I Graduated and work at a big firm in Canada. Now I am the Head. I BECAME SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT YOU, "all I could do was sob.
"You left me when I was down, you think I was a failure, stupid. Canada, Paris, London, Japan, Korea, that's all we want to go right? Before I let you go I went to all that. I build a new Dreams without you. I succeed Without you. Now I build my own Family, "she said and addressed me.
"Anthony? He's not like you. We're the same. He doesn't have everything He came to my life without everything. But he never stop believing me. Through ups and down he is always there. Now tell me? How I can love you again? Even if you think of me I'M ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAK YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, "she said.
She stood up and stared at me.
"I want you to build your self without me, I heard you lost everything. Get up again. Don't worry I've forgiven you for a long time, I'm will be married this week I hope you come!" She said and left. .
I just cried and cried, I'm a fool I let go of the woman who did nothing but love me.
Friday when I went to her wedding, I saw her marrying another Man. I saw how she smiled.
I KNOW THAT SMILE IS NOT MEANT FOR ME.
AND THE PARTS OF ME BEGINS TO DIE.
I THOUGHT LOVING HER IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN MY LIFE BUT I'M WRONG. LEAVING HER SIDE WHEN SHE NEED ME WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKE I DID.
