Chapter 2 - As The Sun Sets

A handsome looking man is sitting on a bench outside a garden. He is currently watching the sun sets, with his face with such amazement because of the scenery.

Now came Franc, witnessing such sight with sweat all over his face not bothered on wiping its face. Trying to stabilize his breathe after hurrying to this location. He slowly approaches Perry, his ex, and sits by his side.

Perry, who already knows about his presence, let him be. Now both of them watches the sunset.

Franc gathered all his courage to speak first.

"Perry I.." He started.

"It's so beautiful." Perry suddenly utters.

Before Franc could even say anything, he was cut off thus he kept his silence and let the man in his side speak.

"It's so beautiful, yet sad now it's ending. Don't you think so, Franc?" The question is simple yet it inflicted a lot of emotion to both of them.

The statement make Franc froze on the spot. Felt guilty and pain in his heart at the same time. Not knowing how to respond. He didn't even realise that tears kept flowing on his cheeks.

"I guess, everything has its own ending. Even if you don't want it to happen, you just cant change things just because you feel like doing so." He continued.

"I'm sorry.. Perry.. I'm so sorry..." He said while sobbing, almost choking on his words.

"Hm.. I already forgive you.." Showing a smile full of sincerity. "I forgave you not long ago." Yet Franc cant seem to accept it and keep asking for forgiveness.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." He kneels on the ground, hold the cold hands of his past lover and cant seem to stop his tears.

"How can you forgive me, I'm an asshole, a jerk, a good for nothing boyfriend to you! I didn't even notice your pain and sufferings.!! I left you all.. alone.. by yourself... I left you.." The sudden burst of emotion makes the sickly man shocked, yet he kept his silence and continue listening.

"While you.. your pure love that you gave to me, to this loser type of a man you chose. I don't deserve you. I don't deserve you at all! Perry.. Why me?" He raise his face up, the sun highlights his face full of tears. Hoping an answer to the man.

"I still loved you even though you did those to me. I'm head over heels to you ever since, right? You just seem to have this charm that caught me, such a lucky man." Puts a small smile, still looking up front and feeling the warm breeze.

"I didn't regret choosing you or loving you either.. Or maybe I'm just a crazy man desperate to find love and be loved."

"But I'm a wreck, a broken man! A man who seem to let his mind go out of control, letting his emotions control his actions. I'm nothing but a trash left by people to rot." He wipes his tears but it kept flowing in his handsome face.

Perry sets his eyes on Franc who is still on the ground who starts to reminisce and reflect on his past actions. Still has his smile on his face. "I have loved you to your best and still loved you in your worst. Just seeing you happy makes me happy too and the same when your sad.. Even after you rejected me and soon left, I cant forget our beautiful memories that win over my broken heart."

Perry approaches him and wipes the tears with his sleeves. "This man love you forever and always, I wish you eternal happiness so don't cry like this anymore especially in front of me." He hugged the man and whispered this to his ears.

"Please forget me."

The sun has set.
