/ LIYANA'S POV
"Your Mother is safe."
That's the only word I had to hear to calm down. Hearing that my Mother is held captive and that war may suddenly arise repeating the history from years ago made me so uneasy. We came straight here at Cassopeia after Mom and I talked and gladly, Her Highness is already informed and she already saved my Mother. Infact, she told me Mom is safe and they already escorted her back home.
"I know you are worried but stay calm for now. Her Highness will surely take good care of this matter." Max told me.
This is the first time he spoke after we left our house until we came here. He never said a word even when we are talking with Her Highness.
I look at his eyes but he held no expression at all.
"Are you okay?" I asked him before I could stop myself from opening my mouth.
He look back at me in the eye.
"I am fine but also not fine at all."
I frowned. "Huh?" Clearly, he's not fine at all.
He sighed removing his eyes from me as he look down. What happened? I blinked an eye as I try my best to remember if I ever said or did anything to make him so upset and down but remembered none.
Or did he heard my conversation with my Mother at home?
I gasped but instantly brought my hands to my mouth to cover them when Max look at me.
I stared at him wide eyes and refused to say anything. He then chuckled.
"Now you know."
WHAT? WHAT DO I KNOW?!
"When I heard you already gain back your memories, I was happy but only for a moment because I know you also remembered how I hurt you." He said and look at me. Now his eyes are sad.
I gulped still not removing my hands from my mouth. I don't know what to say!
"So let me take this opportunity to tell you my truth." He cleared his throat.
"I never wanted to end things with you but in order to save our relationship, I did. You probably don't understand me, right?" He chuckled softly. I frowned at him. I really don't understand you at all.
"Without my knowledge, my Father asked Jas parents for her to be married at me and they agreed. I only knew about that matter when I went home and my Father informed me about it. Of course, I refused and told them I will only marry my girlfriend but my Father only got mad at me. By that time, I thought you'll get hurt if you will hear about me and Jas and so I decided to end things with you temporarily and promised myself that I will get you back once I fix the issue. But I was wrong as I only hurt you even more and I didn't get the chance to talk to you again after you left when we ended things between us." He explained.
"And for Jas, don't misunderstand whatever that you are seeing between us. I am telling you now, you are wrong if you think I have a thing on her. The same goes with her. I just love teasing her but that doesn't mean anything. We are only close friends, no more, no less." He explained further.
He talked and explained for minutes but my mind refused to process everything that he said. I am speechless.
I thought he had fallen out of love.
I thought he chose Jas over me.
I even tried to fix and beg him not to leave me for the last time not knowing that...
"You are so dumb," that's what I said after being silent for a long time.
He looked at me surprised by what I said.
I rolled my eyes at him.
"You could just have told me about it and let us fix things together instead of breaking my heart mercilessly that day."
"I know I am wrong," he sighed. "That was a very foolish decision."
"It was really foolish. But it already happened. We can't go back to the past and fix it, shall we?" I said.
I am not happy nor sad, I just felt relieved and light hearted now that I know the reason why he broke up with me.
And I am more worried about what will happen now than what had already happened in the past.
"Then can we go back to what we used to be?"
"NO!" I quickly exclaimed startling him.
I rolled an eye at him.
"You actually expect us to go back to what we used to be just because you stated me your reason? That's ridiculous!"
"Aya.." he called me with my real name but that didn't affect me.
"No. You hurt me and broke my whole being. You may have done it unintentionally because of your rushed decision, that still didn't changed the fact that you hurt me."
After that, I walked away from him.
