"But Farah said you had a fiancée in your country…"
When Clarisse asked Bruno, he shook his head bitterly, "There was no fiancée. I said whatever I could to hurt her and make her break up with me."
Clarisse sighed, "The hurt you caused her back then, now trying to make amends will not be easy."
"I know!"
A hint of pain appeared on Bruno's stern face. "I gave her up back then, and for years I've lacked the courage to find her or even inquire about her life. I'm afraid she might have married and forgotten me, or that she might still be thinking of me…"
If she had forgotten him and moved on, it would hurt him. But if she still remembered and loved him, it would hurt even more. He would feel even more guilty about abandoning her.
But now their interactions are more awkward. She has his child, but she is about to marry someone else.
He doesn't know if she has forgotten him or still loves him.
