Another Chance

"Can't you give ourselves another chance?" asked Ajie after a long while of crying his eyes out.

Every move of his shoulders as he sobbed, nudged the wounded part of Allie's heart which still longed for their reconcilliation. Being hurt herself and feeling his own pain at the same time, made her cry with him. Yet, too many people were involved already and too many people would be affected should she consider accepting him back. There was Jane and her parents while there was Hayri and his dad. The announcement of both of their coming remarriages was already informally announced and the news spread like a wildfire.

"You made this move first and you just can't easily turn back," she reminded him, placing the full blame on himself.

"I'll explain to Jane and his dad," he insisted.

"Be a man of words, Adrian. You have made yourself a name and it doesn't look good on your reputation to be unsettled in your decisions."
