Arumi stopped her steps due to a hug from Gibran. The man hugged Arumi's ping tightly.
"I know saying sorry won't be enough for everything that's hurt you, but I'll keep saying it a million times until you forgive me. I'm sorry."
Arumi felt a tear fall down Arumi's shoulder. He could also hear Gibran's voice stammering as it restrained his cries.
Arumi felt her chest tight. Gibran's embrace reminded him of the man's warm embrace every night as he would close his eyes.
"I'm sorry I can't be the best and I can only make you angry. Again, forgive me, baby. I will try again to be better for you. I promise you that from now on our relationship will be free from tears, lies, and insults. Ii'm sorry. I love you, let's stay together."
Arumi turned her body towards Gibran. The man's eyes were red. Arumi's tears could no longer be held back, spilling over her smooth cheeks.
"I think goodbye is the best way for both of us for now, because between us there is no more trust. If I keep pushing it together it won't be the same as it used to be. I will always suspect you."
Gibran wiped away the tears on Arumi's cheek and kissed the forehead of the woman who was still his wife.
Without realizing it, Papa and Mama saw everything they did from a hidden place.
"How do I say the words, "I'm sorry" when I know that those words are not enough? And how can I ask you to forgive me when I know I can't forgive myself?" gibran said as he wiped Arumi's tears.
"If parting will make you better and happier, I will do it for you. Arumi, I'm obeying to part ways not because I don't love you. This I do because I realize my presence no longer makes you happy. If I stay with you, it's the same as torturing you."
"So far from you doesn't mean you don't love you anymore, but it's the way I love you right now.I want to be like the sun that lights up the earth.Stay away, because he understands, getting close will only destroy it."
"I said goodbye, I went to come back when I felt I deserved to be there again."
"Tell my apologies to Papa and Mama, sorry that I couldn't be the good daughter-in-law they expected."
Gibran took Arumi into his arms. He kissed Arumi's head and whispered again, "I'll prove that this time I didn't lie. Ilove you. One day if you have calmed down and there is still your love for me, come. I'll welcome you with all the love I've got."
After a long time hugging Arumi. Gibran turned around and walked slowly leaving Arumi.
As soon as Gibran's shadow disappeared from his sight, Arumi felt his body feel weak. He fell and sat on the floor.
It might never have crossed my mind, if the marriage would have ended like this.
If all I get is pain, nothing will keep me going, because my feelings will diminish when I am unappreciated and ignored.
There's no reason to hang out with someone who can't love me. I don't want to hang on to someone who just ignores me because what I need most is someone who loves me very much.
