Chapter Forty-one

As I stared at the retreating figure of the guy who had just shattered my heart into a million pieces, I felt miserable. So this i what it feels like. I just got served my first heartbreak on a platter of gold. Courtesy of the thousand and one guys I've hurt in the past. Karma must be an actual bitch, you know. Fuck! It hates me so much.

The little resistance I had tried to put up against the pain had dissolved completely. Now I actually know what it feels like when I walked out on all those guys, when I walked out on Rio. It feels like your heart is being pierced by no physical thing actually. It just keeps hurting and I can't take it. I can't. The tears were coming now, in torrents. I tried to stop but no! not when my heart felt that way. I felt like walking over a bridge, just end it all then the pain will go away too cause I know it's gonna be here for a very long while. A long while if not a lifetime.

Somehow I managed to get my legs to move and I began walking after wiping the tears off. Might as well continue my walk but there's a difference now, my heart's broken now. I had no idea where I was going but I kept walking. I would have gone home but somehow, that didn't cross my mind. The pain was too intense.

Each tear that fell sent a shudder through my spine. Somehow, I developed a fever and goose bumps tickled my skin. I was oblivious of everything going on around me and to be honest, my legs were literally functioning on their own.

I think I was just about to walk through an expressway and a loud honk alerted me of the presence of a car nearby. I turned and that was the last thing I remember before I blacked. The world of unconsciousness felt so much better, at least the pain wasn't there anymore...
