The Best (WO)man- Part 15b

He didn't speak to me. It would always take few minutes for his temper to cool down. He was not someone who would ever get angry at someone. Even if he ever got angry at me, his heart melt in milliseconds. But this was unusual. He had kept himself in solitude. 

Whenever he saw me accidentally, he would turn his gaze at something else. He was ignoring me. This was his way of punishing me. I accepted it without even trying to cool him down. What right did I have when I was the one who wrecked his marriage? But I didn't like it. I couldn't take his cold behaviour. This punishment was like an torment to me. So I decided to leave. I packed my bag and booked tickets for the next flight

I felt guilty... a feeling that never left me since Nikki left him. My immatureness costed me lot. I lost my long time friend..my brother... a precious part of my soul. Now I felt very empty without him. I was boarding afternoon flight. It was right time when he would be busy at work and I would silently leave. I wasn't going to wish him goodbye.

It was sunny afternoon. There was no single cloud dancing in the sky. The traffic was too much for normal day like today. I hadn't expected. I had three hours though in my hand. I was spending it on the bustling traffic instead of cool indoors of the airport. High volume of the music from the iphone blared in my ears. However it didn't take me away from my problems.

I was still thinking about it. I had put a small note on the table. It read- I am sorry. I am leaving you forever from burden called me. The words still pained me whenever I remembered. What would have happened if I had told him that I was leaving? Would he leave me to the airport? Would he stop me? Maybe he would escort me without saying goodbye.

I reached the airport. Everything happened so quickly that I didn't have time to think. The customs and the depature .. everything happened too fast. I wanted to stay back. I wanted to tear my boarding pass and run away. But I didn't . I continued my journey to home. I wished that Augustus would call me back. He didn't come.I was disheartened.
