Betrayal - Season 2 - Episode 36

MONDAY 7:15AM

Mike dropped me in front of my lodge. I thanked him, opened the front passenger’s door and tried to alight, but he quickly grabbed my left hand and stared at me.
“please cyndii i beg you, don’t do anything silly” he pleaded. I smiled and shook my head,
“as for my confession, i will go ahead with it. Don’t you worry about me Mike, i can perfectly take good care of myself” i assured him before alighting.

Walking into my room, i rehearsed all i planned to tell Benjamin. It really wasn’t easy making up my mind for such deed, but like i told Mike, ‘nothing would stop me from going ahead with it’.

Just like fate would have it, i ran into Benjamin at the staircase, he was going downstairs to fetch water but instantly froze when he saw me. There was suspicion and relief in his eyes as they fell on me, while i nervously returned his look and greeted him.
“cyndii where are you coming from?? I know you arn’t coming from your house?” he asked inquisitively.
“of course i’m not coming from home” i replied quietly, left him and climbed the stairs. He quickly followed me, abandoning the water he was on his way to get.
“so where went you?” he asked when we got to my room.
“do you really want to know?” i asked calmly as i sat on my bed. He stood beside me, scanning me intently with his eyes.
“do i still owe you any explanation concerning my movements? Isn’t our relationship officially over?” i asked with a dirty smile. He scoffed and bit his lips
“i see you are trying very much to harden your heart, no problem but i still insist to know” he muttered.
“alright since you insist, i spent my sunday at Mike’s family house and i’m just coming from there” i opened up coldly. His face instantly coloured. There was shock, pain, disbelief and sadness in his eyes as he stared at me.
“no it’s not true” he murmured with a broken voice, sat on my bed and covered his face with his palms. He never cried out but i knew he weeped in his heart.

I stared at him clueless on what next to say nor how to behave towards him. He sat with his face covered for about fifteen minutes before composing himself and drawing close to me once again.
“did he, did he touch, touch you?” he nervously asked. I was instantly torn between telling him the truth or lying to him. My confusion left me silent which equally confirmed his fear.
“choi cyndii, why, why nau??” he asked murderously with unshed tears melting his eyes. I was unable to stand his voice nor gaze any longer. I quietly stood up and backed him.
“i don’t deserve you Benjamin, i really do care about you, but i don’t understand my flesh anymore nor the cravings in my heart. Please free yourself from this torment and permit me to get another girl for you” i prayed with a fast pounding heart. But all he did was just to shed his tears which he very much struggled to hold, silently on my bed. I was very touched and would have cried beside him if not that i wanted him to let me out of his life.

Patiently i waited for him to come around. I knew only one thing could happen that moment. Either he ends it like a man or ends up humiliating me. No matter which he chooses, i knew nothing would make him want to continue with me.

Only a woman has the ability to send a great man to his grave without lifting a finger.
