Decoupled
❝But what if I have tried many times? What if the target that I'm trying to reach is an illusion, like the horizon? No matter how hard I try to close the distance, I can still never reach it,❞ I let out a long breath to collect myself together. ❝That's where my marriage is right now. We don't talk and listen anymore, there's no love, no spark, no communication...absolutely nothing,❞ I keep my eyes on her as I spill the truth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A high school reunion after fifteen years brings together two people -- Raphael and Maya -- who are leading drastically different lives.
Raphael, who is caught up in a failing marriage and living an unsatisfied life, learns a lot of new things which he wishes he had known much earlier, and he finds his life getting entwined with Maya's life in more ways than he had ever imagined.
Yet, the power of the truth that he hides from her to enjoy the forbidden pleasure threatens to ruin the happiness that he has found after a long time.
