The Real You..

Intro..

It was perfect great day, I was enjoying my day with a big smile but i never knew that my day would come to end this way...

It all started few weeks back when i was insecure of my lover as he was only busy with his own works .. i never wanted to complain about it but i had to because i don't want to be forgotten by him... My Boyfriend Alex and I , we were in happy relationship we enjoyed our company for each other but then after a year things changed he became very busy although he was not that outgoing with me but he was happy in the company of his friends.. i didnt complain about it because i wanted him to be happy. I have experienced many relationships but the relationship i had with him was magical for me, everything he did makes me happy we both were not that well off but we were happy . Never knew that the happiest moment of my life was coming to an end and how will i take on with my journey i don't know .. i don't know whether I'll keep up with it or not I'm just on the process..

PRESENT

Like everday we wished each other.

Him "Goodmorning babe",

Me " Good morning 🤗"

Him" Babe i have work today too so I'll text you soon "

Me " Ok.... i see, take care of your health bye.. "

Him " ok"

That was our usual chat.. its been months that we're talking with each other like this i feel sad too but i can't involve myself in his work and make our relationship toxic so i held it in and comforted myself ..

AT NIGHT, 9:00 pm

Him" Babe I'll game with my friends abit and then I'll talk with you later ok.. or you can call me when you sleep"

Me " Ok"

I thought night was for us but in this 21st century world a man with gaming is impossible... Though we do talk at night but like this

10:30pm

He calls me

Me " Hello"

Me " Hey... Are you done? "

Him" Yeah I'm sleepy, i worked alot today.. I'm really tired.. "

Me" Oh okay... "

Him " You want to say something ?"

Me " Naa its ok "

Him " ok"

i would want to talk before falling asleep but i couldn't say it because i was used to this now , i listen to him sleeping and with that i fall asleep... normally a girl would want to talk all night be romantic with her man but in my case it was different.. i still loved him though... i felt that maybe we're different. I was too against being a lovey dovey couple but i did want to be a romantic and happy one but there was not much in it ... It went on.. like a daily routine.. Then one day i told him everything about how i feel... i texted him to meet me

Me" Babe?"

He replied after an hour

Him" Yeah babe"

Me " I'm on my way to meet you, let's meet at our usual park"

Him " mmmm .. ok"

We met at our usual place where we had great memories together ..

Me " you know you're changing alot, you've been Busy everday which i can't complain about it then at night when I want to talk you're either gaming with your friends or you're sleepy... its like you don't need me anymore.."

Him " I've told you before right.. that I'm new in this thing and i also told you to tell me directly if you want to talk with me "

Me " I can't tell you directly when you're that tired and i can't stop you from being with your friends too but i just want you to adjust a lil bit for me...I know you're new to this but now I'm greedy for your love.. its selfish but I'm being greedy now because i don't get what i want .. !!"

I cried..

He pulled and huged me ... comforted me like a baby

Him " Shh.... don't cry.. its my fault... I'm sorry... you know i do love you right... but I'm just new to this so i don't know anything nicely... but just remember that i love you..."

Me " I LOVE YOU"

😣😣😣😣

He kissed me gently.. his pure and warm lips that comforted my heart and gave me hope that we will be together all the time...

we then ended up being physically romantic

which every couple does... i already gave my all physically and emotionally so i didn't mind his touch because i believed in him with all my heart... his touch also gave me a comfortable feeling that he's there for me whenever I'm sad or unhappy .. then after sometime we headed to our homes ... the night was wonderful for me .. we made up i was happy.

The next day

Him " Babe . Goodmorning..i have work today too so I'll be busy ok... "

Me " ok... take care"

i saw that coming so i didn't mind

He " i love you"

Me " I love you"

then the day went on.. i too became busy with my work i love baking and i work in a pastry coffee shop.. so i was doing my usual work ..

Cathy " Sunny?"

Me " Ya?"

Cathy " can you do some more baking? the sweets are getting over and also the lemon juice too "

Me " Ok 🤗"

Cathy " Since you're happy , i guess you've finally talked with him right?"

Me " ya we did... well its the same but then I'm happy that we did "

Cathy " Wow!! this guy..! how can he be so ignorant? i mean so what if he's the hardworking Alex .. he has a girlfriend who is patience enough to understand him and he's been acting like that!? What a guy man!

Me " It's ok... we can't complain about his work because it's his family work right?

Cathy " still.... Hey watch out!! "

chapter 2

while i work and talk with Cathy.. i slipped and fell over...

Cathy "Shit! you ok? that was a loud fall... i wonder how the water got here... "

Me " I'm fine.. just hit my arm and my bum.. it'll be ok"

Cathy " What a Start of the day... i hope you don't meet any other problems.."

Me " it's fine ... it was just a fall."

i took Cathy's word lightly ...and continued my work...

in the afternoon..

text notification!

Alex " Babe.. !"

Me "ya?"

Alex " What are you doing?"

Me "I'm taking a rest now.. "

Alex " oh i see.. I'm taking a break too.. have you ate your lunch..?

Me " Not yet.. i slipped and fell so I'm just massaging myself abit "

Alex " you're hurt that bad? Are you feeling better ? why don't you take off?"

Me " its not that bad so its ok"

Alex " i see.. i gotta go so take care of yourself.."

Me " okay"

Our chat ended there and we continued with our own works... while enjoying my baking a customer calls for a cake delivery..

Me" Hello? this is pastry coffee how can i help you? "

Customer. " I'd like to order a 2pound cake with chocolate flavor and some fruits in it "

Me "Ok umm would like to write anything? "

Customer " Break up day"

i got shocked , i thought i heard wrong " Excuse me! sir, would you say it again please .."

Customer " I'd like you to write on top of it as Congratulations on your break up day "

I wasn't wrong , the person was celebrating his break up .. it was shocking for me to hear it for the first time the call ended with an agreement but i didnt wanted to make it.. i talked with cathy about it but it seems like its common for people to celebrate their break up..and without hesitation i just baked the cake for the person .... while baking it my day came to an end ... i was excited to go home and share my thoughts about my incident today at work to Alex .. i bid goodbye to Cathy and left ..I reached home in time and started to do my chores then after dinner while resting Alex Texted me

Alex " babe"

Me " hey"

Alex " Are you home yet? "

Me " yeah i am, just finished my dinner "

Alex "ok and how's your injury? "

Me " its not that bad , i don't feel any pain "

Alex " ok...well i have to talk something with you.."

Alex's text gave me a cold breeze , suddenly my heart felt heavy but then i ignored and replied

Me" ya sure, what happened?"

Alex " I've been thinking about this alot and i feel like i can't do this anymore, I'm keeping you in the dark and lying to you and myself, i care for you but i can't love you now because I've lost my love for you... it's not like i didnt love you i did love you but then now... i no more do... "

Me " What are you saying?? "

Are you pulling a prank on me?

because if you are then this is not cool!

Alex " I'm sorry... many times i have forgotten you and many times I've never been there and I'm never able to satisfy you with the love you give me... so its just not going to work out between us ..

i became numb and speechless i didnt knew what to reply , tears began to roll down like rain i got lost in thoughts i questioned myself where did it go wrong? are we going to end like this? .. He called me because i didnt reply him... but i didnt have any strength to pick it up and talk with him... i ignored ... he kept texting me..

Alex" you ok? i know this is hurting but if you stay with me you'll get hurt till the end and i don't want that... i tried my best to love you.. but i couldn't and i didnt want to end over this with a text , i thought to meet you but.. i couldn't carry any strength to face you.. and don't think that its you.. because the problem is not you but me.. I'm the one who's responsible for this. can you please pick up?

with all my strength i picked up the call but the moment he spoke.. i lost my strength and with tears in my eyes i tried my best not to let him know but then i ended hanging up on him. i couldn't do anything, i became powerless i could only cry ..

chapter 3

i could only cry and hope that it was a bad dream and i wake up from it ..

but nomatter how much i try it was not a dream it was reality where i had to fight with myself to stay strong... i couldn't approach anyone as i was alone i didnt know how to answer them if they ask why ? Because i myself had lots of questions..

He kept calling me so i told him

"Can we please talk later? i can't talk right now"

that was all i could say to him... all my hopes and dreams were crushed i controlled myself to stay strong and not cry because i have to talk with him about it. After few hours i took up the courage to text him.. i still couldn't talk with him because i knew I'd cry..

Me " Hey .. do you really want to end it?

Alex " I'm sorry ."

Me " If this was to Come why go all the way?

why did we went all the way?? i trusted you alot i made my decision to be with you all along and so i didn't regret but now I'm regretting it because of you..!

Alex "im sorry i was not expecting it too it just happened... i thought of it alot ... and dont think that i took advantage of you i really did love you but the love of mine didn't last long... I'm sorry... "

Me " The sorry is not going to Change anything... we have done it all and now i feel like a fool,"

Alex " don't do this to yourself, you might find love with someone better.. you just don't deserve me.. lets just go back to being friends like we were.. we had a good time back then "

That words made me feel like we were friends with benefits... and i didnt like it. i cried again and again..

Me " I'm sorry but i can't go back to smiling and chilling with you because it'll only give me hope to love you more and i don't think i'll be able to love someone ever again ..."

Alex " no .. don't say that ... "

Alex felt pity for me and requested me to stay strong but i couldn't... i kept crying and said that it can't end like this but then Alex had nothing to say too.. he was just silent .. while his silence were saying to me like this is the end..our paths have changed.. i couldn't utter any word.. and all i said was

Me " Ok.. goodbye.."

with that word .. i hung up on him...

All night i cried..i couldn't sleep.. after crying for long.. i just told myself everything will be fine.. then without realising i fell asleep..

The next morning came .. but my room was dark I didn't want to face the day so i called for a sick leave from my job, i didnt even tell cathy about my break up.. Alex Texted me but i ignored.. my eyes were swollen i felt like a brain death person i jusy layed on the bed thinking what will happen now .. what am i to do.. my friends and families how am i supposed to answer them... all these thoughts kept revolving in my brain with any answer.. suddenly i received a call ..

Me " Hello?"

cathy " Hey I'm sorry to disturb you on your holiday but a customer here said he ordered a break up cake but i don't see any cake here . Do you know where is it?

After last night i forgot everything about it , i even forgot about my work ..well even if i lost someone i Cherish i can't lose my dream job so i woke up from the situation and told

Me " Shit! I'm so sorry .. i took it home It needs a lil bit touch up so please buy me time I'll be on my way..! "

Cathy " ok come soon" Hangs up

I'm sorry sir , my partner took the cake for a touch up so she's on the way now could you please wait a lil bit? how about a cappuccino? it'll be on the house!

Customer " Okay.. "

Cathy " please take a seat, thank you"

The customer takes his seat and waits for sunny to come

Cathy. whispers " So he's the one with the break up cake.. 🙄. I wonder who broke his heart. Such a handsome hunk don't deserve that lady 😣

At my apartment i kept talking to myself in a hurry " How can i forget about it!! " i woke up ran to the bathroom forgot about my break up and focused on my work.. i finished decorating the cake.. ran out took a taxi to the shop.

Door opens!

Sunny " I'm sorry I'm late!! "

Cathy. " Finally ... ! He's been waiting for an hour.. what happened to your eyes?"

i tried to cover my eyes with a spectacle but maybe it didn't help much..

sunny " its a long story I'll tell you later. where is the customer?"

Cathy pointing at the customer " Right over there, that handsome one.. "

when i looked at him i never knew such a handsome guy would exist in this world , he was tall with fair skin broad shoulders, his eyelash were long and his lips were a beauty but his sparkling eyes were grabbing the attention of every lady in the room even mine.. talking about Ladies the room was filled with ladies i didnt notice any guy except for him... The handsome hunk stood up and walked towards me .... i stood numb as i mesmerized his eyes as he was also looking at me.. it was just like we locked eyes on each other He approach towards me and says

Customer " Excuse me .. is that my cake?"

i was lost in his eyes, it felt like he was saying something to me .. he snapped his fingers near my eyes

Customer " Hey!? "

Me " Oh!! Yes yes I'm sorry ... here is your cake". i handed over the cake to him , ue took it by gazing at me then he smirks and whispers in my ears

Customer " Crying over something that badly ...was it worth it? "

as he says that he pats my eyes with his fingers and then leaves..

Before i could say anything .. he leaves leaving 30$ on the counter when I come to my senses and turns to look for him but, he was not there.... i was still not over of my break up with Alex but his words gave me some relief because it made sense... i kept thinking about it...

Cathy comes "Aren't you going home? "

you sick right ? .. look at your eyes it's like you were in a boxing ring ...

I thought about it.. hard that i couldn't focus on Cathy's words.. but then i decided to tell cathy about it..

Me "Cats! I have to tell you something "

cathy " yeah sure "
