Worthless!!

Elva returned to Rene's apartment at 5. She and Rene had their dinner and watched series together. They always used to when they were in the college. For some day, the chips packets were thrown in bundles. Even Rene's neighbor was shocked.

Elva went to the mall to buy fresh clothes. Her frame has changed. She also wanted to wear more fresh color clothes to feel refreshing. It helps heal her mental health and makes her feel light.

She brought some for Rene too. When she reached the apartment it was a bit late. Just when she stepped inside the living room, some noises came from the Rene's bedroom.

Elva called, "Rene!?"

She replied instantly and came out of her room, "Ah, you are back, Elva."

Smiling a bit awkwardly, she said, "Surprisingly Shawn came to collect his stuff for some journey too. I was just talking to him."

Elva was stunned but understood, "I will rest for a while. Go on, spend some time with him instead. I'm tired after the session. Oh and take these. it's for you."

Gave Rene the clothes and left. Elva has no desire to meet this guy. He doesn't gives good vibes.

Rene, returned to her bedroom.

Actually this was the sole reason why Elva wanted to ensure Shawn wasn't at home. He is a weird one. Elva is already looking for an apartment though. Since she has been working for many years, she doesn't lack money to rent a nice apartment.

After searching for so long she found one. It is in the main district. The cost is a bit high, but the security and environment is very good. Elva just needed such apartment. She called the owner and decided to rent it after negotiating the price properly.

It was around 10, Rene shouted to come for dinner. Elva hurriedly freshened up and went downstairs. Shawn wasn't there. Rene was looking at the dishes absent-minded. Elva had a bad feeling. It is actually stuffy.

Elva smiled and teased, "What happened Rene? Did your lover left without a kiss?"

Rene smiled slowly, her eyes were dull, "No. Why are you asking?"

Elva frowned, "What happened?"

Rene just shook her head.

Elva said slowly, "Oh, I have already found an apartment. I will leave tomorrow morning. You have been taking care of me these days. Thanks."

Rene was stunned, "Why are you going away suddenly?"

Elva confused asked, "What do you mean?"

Rene pouted, "I thought you will be living with me from now on. At least for a month."

Elva was stunned. She isn't sure how Rene came up with that idea. They are friends, that's right. But living with someone who has boyfriend isn't right. Moreover Shawn will soon come to her for some "serious" conversation afterwards.

"Hey, are you bothered by something? Rene?" Asked Elva slowly.

Rene's smiling face disappeared slowly. She pursed her lips. Like she will cry right away. Elva felt she was stabbed at the moment. She stood you instantly and hugged Rene.

"Shh, calm down. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly." Patting Rene's back slowly, "Tell me what happened?"

Rene's eyes reddened a bit. She slowly replied, "Shawn came today to break up with me."

Elva was stunned.

"What!?"

Rene cried silently as she continued to say, "He said he is in love with someone else. She is beautiful, talented and also makes him happy. He said, he realized that he never loved me."

"Who is that lady?" Elva couldn't believe it and added, "Maybe It's a prank. How can he just suddenly -"

"No." Rene added, "No, it isn't suddenly. He said it's been a year now."

Elva's mind blew with anger. Her eyes widened, "That damn bastard actually cheated! And he has the nerve to act like that?"

Rene nodded like a small child.

Her small innocent face full of grief. Elva can't take it. This is not what Rene deserves. No way, she can't shed her precious tears for that scumbag. She patiently calmed Rene down and herself too.

It took a long time. The dinner turned cold. Elva hugged Rene to help her sleep in her room.

The next day, both woke up late.

Rene was in low spirit for few weeks. It went on, day after day. When the end of the month came, Elva finally couldn't take it anymore. Like a walking doll, Rene appeared have lost all her will to smile and do anything she likes.

Elva decided to just do what she thought to do. She wanted to give Rene time to digest the heartache and overcome it slowly. But she apparently can't do it.

The first thing Elva did was after waking up was to dragged Rene out for a wonderful lunch. Booked special private room too. It is her favorite restaurant about which Rene always used to tell Elva.

But now she is just looking at the delicious steak before her as if she will do autopsy on it.

Elva asked slowly, "Rene, what happened? Is this not your liking? Should we go somewhere else?"

Rene snapped out, "ah? Oh, no no. it's nice here." She stuttered, "I, I'm happy to come here Elva. Thanks."

Elva felt awful for her. She shook her head and slowly said putting the fork and knife down, "Rene listen carefully, okay?"

Rene nodded attentively.

"Answer me, what have you been thinking this whole month?"

"I just... I don't know."

Elva felt very difficult to say, but she has to, "Rene, you can't live with memories."

Rene looked at Elva as she listened to her.

"I remembered you telling me something during our college days." Elva said slowly, "You said, you wanted someone handsome, hardworking, kind, and understanding partner for you. Can you think of how many can Shawn fulfill?"

Rene recalled saying that, and she said smiling sadly, "It was just a wishful thinking Elva. There is not such person."

Elva shook her head. She said gently, "Rene, were you not the person who won the college beauty contest back then from among three thousand students? Were you not the one who tried for that one job which was so hard, repeatedly three times and got that, right? You helped me, when I was at my lowest, helped those children in the orphanage too, you are kind aren't it? You tried to understand Shawn in every situation too, didn't you?"

"If so, when you can fulfill all of these requirements, the person you date shouldn't be someone less isn't it? Rene have you realize you settled for a worthless person?"

'WORTHLESS'

The word echoed in Rene's mind repeatedly. It hit so hard in her heart that she realized maybe 'I knew it. I knew how worthless he was, and maybe I was tired of him too. I actually can't think of any reason to love him, now that I think about it properly.'

"If you abandoned logic, you will be in that endless loop of past memories and the pain Shawn left behind. And I know you have been thinking about just these two for the whole month."

"Eat now." Elva smiled a bit.

Rene drank some water and smiled slowly. Eyes teary, she ate her food this time. She enjoyed it fully.

Elva knew, all Rene have to do is realize her own worth. She was always a reasonable person.
