The truth is… well, there are actually two sides to every story. And it's impossible to know precisely how each side feels at any moment especially if both of them are unwilling to admit anything or actually want to explain it to me.
Because I can't really just side with one side of the story. As I feel like there's more to it… it's obvious to feel that way since there's so little that I know about what happened between them in the past.
Plus Kather should at least tell me that she has been in a relationship with another man. Instead of saying that she loves me even after 10 years.
I don't mind her not wanting to state it but at least be honest with me and use the correct phrasing. As I do think that she has been keeping her feelings towards me the same for all of that 10 years.
I couldn't help feeling the feeling of betrayal. Because Kather has to lie to me with her statement. As she said that they are just friends and yet Gabriel is claiming they've been in a relationship before. That's why I somehow couldn't trust Kather right now even if I am trying to trust her.
And I am not sure if I should believe what Kather is saying. I mean… I am the kind of guy who tries to see the good in everyone and believe them.
But right now, I am not so certain anymore… as I am now a bit suspicious of Kather. And I am also starting to wonder if I should believe her words or not. But it's not as if I have no choice.
Because I have no idea how to handle the situation right now. I have no clue how to act in this situation because I have no experience.
In fact, it's the first time I am dealing with a real problem as my life before was peaceful and simple… or I should say it was peaceful and simple before as I never really had someone that I wanted to marry in my previous life. And it's not as if my parents have ever told me to find a wife.
So I have no idea how to deal with all these.
But I am determined to protect Kather in any way possible. I don't care if I end up suffering more than necessary, as long as I'm able to save my bride-to-be… or at the very least, stop Gabriel from harming Kather in any way.
At that point, I am still standing beside Kather, as I am still not willing to leave Kather alone in front of Gabriel, who is still glaring at me.
But I am still trying my best to maintain my calm. As I am not going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me losing control. After all, I am still trying my hardest to stay calm despite the fact that I am now having my own doubts of what just happened.
And as such, I decide to take advantage of the silence. So I begin to ask Kather a question as I try my best to remain calm and composed. "So, what exactly did you mean by breaking up? Did he cheat on you?"
That's the only question that comes into my head, and it's the only question that matters to me. If he cheated on Kather, then that means that he was not faithful to her. And he was the one who was lying to her all along.
So if he was unfaithful to Kather, then it's only fair that he is going to be punished. And it is only right for Kather to be with someone who is more worthy than that scoundrel who has betrayed her.
It is only fair… and it is only logical… and it is only right.
Kather looks at me blankly for a moment and then replies with an emotionless tone. "We broke up," she says flatly. "He didn't cheat."
At that moment, I was at a loss for words. "What?" I ask with a perplexed expression on my face. "You're saying that he was not cheating on you?"
"No, I am saying that we broke up." She answers back with a slight frown on her face.
At that moment, I am still completely lost in what just happened. I can't seem to understand why she would say that she broke up with Gabriel if he wasn't cheating on her in the first place.
If he hadn't done so, then how come they broke up? Why would he have broken up with Kather if he didn't do something wrong? What could possibly go so wrong between them?
Why would Kather break up with Gabriel if it's only for something like this?
"Are you sure? Are you absolutely sure? Because it doesn't make sense to me," I reply back as I place my hand over her cheek and gently stroke it with my thumb. Then I look back at Gabriel as I continue speaking to Kather, as if I want her to hear me out and be sure before she speaks again.
"If you were in love with someone else then it makes sense for you to break up with Gabriel. But if you weren't then it doesn't make any sense for you to do that. And it doesn't make any sense for Gabriel to be upset about it if that's true either." I said that to Kather.
"I know you don't want to talk about this but I need to know what happened. As I am curious about what happened between you two." I continue speaking as I am going to do anything to get an answer from her. "Please tell me what happened."
For a moment, she refuses to tell me and it seems she doesn't want to tell me. As she simply says to leave her alone, both of us leave her alone for now. And she tells me that I can do whatever I please, but she is going to do what she needs to do and nothing else.
I know she must be feeling guilty about what happened, and that is the reason why she is refusing to speak about this at the moment.
