You walk down the city streets, your steps weaving through people busy with their own affairs. It seems fate has brought you together with Yeraz. You walk past him, holding the hand of another woman, whom you surely know who it is—his new girlfriend, no—she's the third person in your former relationship.
Yeraz's eyes glance at you as you walk past him, and you glance at him too. Your eyes meet, and time seems to stop, memories of the past are recalled by that eye contact. Everything seems to be repeating itself, both of you remembering a time before your relationship was broken.
The past, when your relationship was still perfect, still fragile, and without the parasite bothering you. You and Yeraz always played games together. The words from that day echo in your memories.
"Yeraz, let's play games together."
"Of course, but don't cry if you lose."
You played together—laughed together—hugged together—beautiful memories built up that day. You pouted when you lost the game, and Yeraz just laughed, ruffling your hair.
And the day you made that promise came to mind. You and Yeraz were enjoying ice cream in a beautiful park, the flowers and the beautiful sky witnessing the promise, which would, of course, be broken.
"You promise you won't cheat?"
"Who would cheat? I promise, darling."
The sentence ended with your smiles and laughter, everyone happy, unaware that the promise would be broken, and none of them knew that after this happy moment, a parasite would emerge, destroying the existing loyalties and fracturing the long-standing relationship.
Finally, the memories of the past were finally remembered. Yeraz felt ashamed and regretful; he had broken that promise just because of another girl.
"I'm sorry I broke that promise." Those were the words in his mind. His mouth couldn't say them because of his ego and the shame of his betrayal.
"Be happy, Yeraz..." That was the sentence in your mind. Your eyes still glanced at him, a faint smile etched on your face as if you had accepted his betrayal, as if you had made peace with the betrayal that pierced your heart.
