Chris was storming out of his room. He then realized it was actually raining. “Such a coincidence!” He mumbled. He hastily went to Tristin and he will confess to her what his decision is.

He knocked at her, and hurrying her to open it. He didn’t mind what she’ll say; all he want to do is tell her what is his decision. No matter what happens, it will be final.

“Chris? What’s wrong?” Tristin asked. She was clearly awakened by Chris’s knocks. “I have something very important to say.” “Oh, okay. Come in.” She replied with a yawn and opened the door. She expected him to kiss her but he didn’t and went inside and he looked so furious.

“Are you mad? What is the problem?” Tristin asked. “I am sorry for waking you up. I know it is early and it is very impolite of me to storming here without telling you.” Chris said and continued, “My mother passed away last night.” “Oh my God, I am so sorry, Chris.” Tristin said while hugging him just to comfort him. “It’s okay, Tri.” He said as he pulled Tristin’s arms. Tristin was completely shocked by his gesture. He usually hugged her back when she hugs him, especially when moments like these happen.

“I am fine, Tristin. Don’t worry about me.” He paused and continued, “That is not only the problem. I have heard from my cousin, who is actually managing my father’s business, that I am the sole heir of the company. The second my father died, the company is named after me. But I was young at that time, so my mother told my cousin to take care of the business while I will continue on my studies so I can prepare for taking in charge of the company.” He paused to let Tristin understand the whole thing he just said. “You may think that it is not a problem but it is. I am going back to France this Tuesday. I will be attending to my mother’s funeral and I will inform you beforehand that I will no longer be going back here.”

“What? No! You will come back here, right? Please say yes, Chris.” Tristin pleaded and tears are starting to fall from her eyes. “No, Tristin. I will not coming back here. I will study there.” “You can study here! Why should you study there?” “I am the CEO and the President of the company, Tristin. I need to be there. I cannot let my cousin manage the company because it will be against my parents’ wishes. Problems will occur if I let my cousin manage it. And the whole Roux family is depending on the company. If the company will be shut down, my family will live in poverty and I cannot let that happen! I will go back to France, study there, and manage the company with the help of my cousin.” Chris retorted. “What about us? What will happen to us?” Tristin asked while her tears are continuously flowing down from her eyes. Chris was silent. He was hesitant to say his decision to her. It will not just break her heart, his too. But since he finally decided what choice he will take, he should face the consequences of his choices. “Continue with your studies and live your life to the fullest. You have a bright future. Find another man, someone who is better than me. I know you’ll be happy really soon. I have a responsibility to fulfill, and the whole family is depending on me. I cannot turn them down. I am sorry, Tristin. But, I guess it is over.” He said it seriously. While Tristin wept, Chris stormed out of her room and went back to his room.

Chris couldn’t help the tears fall from his eyes. He love Tristin so dearly, and it is happening all over again. He needed to say goodbye to her. How can God punish him? He had been a good kid and always gave his parents happiness. But why does he need to suffer so much? Why does he need to give up his love? Chris ran to his room and cried out loud.

Tristin gaped at the open door only to realize that Chris left her. He may have left forever. The words that he said kept ringing on her mind.

“I am sorry, Tristin. But, I guess it is over.”

Tristin couldn’t put away these words in her mind. She couldn’t believe that Chris is actually breaking up with her. The feeling of blissfulness vanished immediately the moment he said it is all over. All of her hopes were crushed. She thought she has everything, but as of now, there is nothing left in her life. She felt miserable and alone, and the only person who could help her is exactly the person who made her feel like this. She never expected this to happen, and since it happened, she dreaded herself for waking up and why did she open the door. She hated everything around her. She hated herself. She hated Chris for making her so happy and making her feel she has everything. But now, she lost everything, because of him. She hated him and she couldn’t forgive him for this.

Chris hated himself for doing that but he couldn’t do anything. He made a decision, and he would rather hurt himself rather than turning down all the Roux family. It is better to give up his wants for the sake of others. Even though he hated this sacrifice, he knew he will be rewarded soon.

He will come back and let Tristin know that he have always loved her. Whatever happens, he will never change the love of his life, Tristin.
