Ziggy sit beside us seriously causing Tristan and me to raise our eyebrows at at eachother. "Let Max be happy Instead of fighting over it, remember we've been friends for a long time and I don't want that ruined just because of a woman."
"Whatever you said, Ziggy. I just don't want him to regret the things he's doing now." I said which was the reason for Max yelling at me.
"I told you to stop! Won't you ever stop your constant shouting Tristan?" I yelled at him and now he raised both his hands while facing me.
"Okay fine. I'm sorry bro. It won't happen again." Tristan apologized to me.
"It's okay, bro." I said.
Ziggy raise his glass of vodka.''That's it you should apologize immediately. Let's have a toast for your reconciliation."
Kira's pov
I was about to enter Ziggy's condo when Dad suddenly called me to come home. Sigh, if luck is not on your side. But it's okay I'll still see Max,at the office tomorrow. So, I sent him a message that I couldn't make it because Dad asked me to go home. Then my phone beeped a message from Max, saying that he's also going home.
I bid farewell to my drunken friends"I'm leaving." I told both of them.
"Don't you wait for Kira? She hasn't arrived yet and now you're leaving?" Ziggy asked me who's now busy scrolling on his phone.
"She already went home we'll see each other at the office tomorrow. I'll go home ahead."I told them again.
"Okay keep safe Max. I love you." Ziggy said jokingly and the three of us laughed.
"Fine I'll leave you two here." I sighed and scratched my head. It's annoying because I'll see that woman again when I get home. Whatever, maybe she's already asleep. So, I hurriedly drove my car because I was really feeling sleepy.
Kath's pov
I suddenly woke up maybe because I was hungry again so I quickly got up and headed to our kitchen. Max still hasn't come home? Even so I can't help but worry about him, especially when he comes home drunk every night suddenly the door opened, and Max walked in.
''Max.''
"Shut up!" He shouted me slamming the door shut.
"You're drunk again Max." I said calmly to him.
"Just leave me alone Kath! And what do you care if I'm drunk or not?" He said angrily now standing in front of me and looking at me sternly.
"I'm just worried about you." I said to him.
"Worried? Why Kathlia, why?" Max shouted at me again making me surprised by his scream.
I was holding back my tears and look straight into his eyes"Because I love you even though I know you don't love me anymore."
"Well it's good that you know Kath." He said irritably to me.
"Do you already love someone else? Is that why you can't love me anymore?" I asked Max, wiping my tears now.
"Yes, there is someone else. So, stop bothering me. And wake up to the reality that I don't love you anymore and we can't go back to the way we used to be!"He said it in front of me with his jaw clenched and I seemed depressed and felt sorry for myself, for loving him.
"Then tell me who she is, Max." I said tearfully to him.
He grab my wrest and push me. He didn't even feel sorry for me"You don't need to know just leave me alone and go to your room, bitch!"
"Okay, then let me help you go to your room." I smile even though deep inside it feels like I'm being stabbed a thousand times. That's how it feels. But he just pushed me causing me to fall to the floor
"I said leave me alone, bitch!" He slap me so hard. I quickly stood up and ran to my room and I heard him say "You deserve it, bitch!" Yeah, he's right I deserve all of this because I loved him too much. Suddenly my phone beeped.
"Hey Kath, are you okay? Are you crying? Did Max hurt you again?"My friend Tristan ask.
"No, he didn't. Why did you call, by the way?" I changed the topic.
"I just wanted to know if you're okay." Tristan said again.
"You don't need to worry about me, Tristan. I'll go to sleep now because we still have class tomorrow." I said to him while holding back my tears and looking at the beautiful chandelier with different colors in my room.
"Bye Kath, have a nice sleep."He said then I hung up the phone.
Tristan's pov
I know she's not okay because I heard her crying. She just doesn't want to let me know that they fought again because she doesn't want me to worry and she doesn't want me to tell Summer about it.
Kath's pov
I finished taking a shower and getting dressed. I also had breakfast prepared earlier by Manang.
And if you're asking me where he is right now my answer is, he might still be sleeping in his room, or he might already be at the office.
I grabbed the keys to my car to drive to school. And when I was about to start the engine Tristan,suddenly appeared.
"Hey! wanna take a lift?" He greeted me with a smile but I just gave him a stern look as I wanted to tease him a bit.
"No, thanks. You might be late for work if you drop me off at Blue Valley University." I said, raising my eyebrows at him. He chuckled at my reaction.
