Was he leaving? Now! After so much had happened?
He did not leave when she asked him to. He did not leave when she wanted to.
And he wanted to leave now. The emotion that was hurting her chest and making her suffocated. The emotion that was gnawing at her chest was all due to his stubbornness to stay and now he wanted to leave!
She wanted to hold his collar and jerk it badly. What gave him the right to toy with her? What gave him the right to come and go as he wished! What in the world did he think of himself?
Anger, resentment, frustration and more than anything pain started to fill her chest but she just only nodded.
She nodded her head in acceptance on his decision to leave when he gave a hollow and dispirited laugh.
A self depreciating look filled his face as he nodded back and turned to leave.
For a second, he still had the hope that she would stop him. But it was all just his illusion.
In the end, he did not!
