A part of him died when she kept the call. A part of him felt being sucked into a black hole of pain and despair. She was like a promise that he couldn't keep, a promise that was meant to be treasured till death did them apart. He smashed his phone out of anger and then punched the wall.
Red wetness started oozing out but he couldn't feel even an ounce of pain as his whole body had been rendered numb because of the pain that was suffocating his heart.
"Akira!!! What have I done !!!", he whispered under his breath and slumped into his chair.
The moment she disconnected the call, she felt like she had been bereft of the right to feel happy again. His words echoed again and again and sucked out the very last remnants of happiness from her heart. She took deep breaths but all that she could picture was an image of Scarlett and Raymond holding their baby together and smiling all lovingly at each other. They were the perfect representation of a happy family.
