Lie To Me novel Chapter 34

"Let's eat." Hans called me from his living room. I've been staying in his pad for a week now.

I don't know but I can't afford to be alone in my apartment. I constantly feel sad and end up crying. I feel like I'm going crazy.

I followed Hans to his kitchen and settled myself on the chair in front of him.

"He resigned." He said, I just nodded.

I haven't been to the office for a week and it's only here on Hans’ pad that I work. I didn’t know if I could face my companions especially since they saw what happened.

It had been so awkward for all of us since then. Even back then no one moved us. We just bid goodbyes and said take care then separate.

Fortunately, I brought my own car, otherwise it would have been more difficult for all of us.

"Won’t you even say anything?" He asked.

"I don't know what I should say." I said.

He shrugged.

"I heard he'll fly to Cuba." He said.

"Why are you telling me?" I asked.

"Nothing. I just want to share." Answer it.

I rolled my eyes.

Russel and I had finally parted. That day from our outing ended what's left for us. We had the closure we deserved. Even though it took a long time, it still happened. What I heard was painful but at least it was finally over. Now, I can say that I can move on without asking his reasons.

It was a long and tough battle and I'm proud of myself for making it here. I survived all the struggles and am now free.

I should be happy.

"How can you say you don't love someone anymore?" Hansel suddenly asked.

We were already in the living room and had been watching the series on Netflix.

I looked at him.

"Do you like someone?" I asked him.

"Then, what are you so upset about the past days?"

"I don't know. I just feel sad." I replied. I even laughed to myself.

I honestly don’t really know why I felt so said and alone. I should be happy. But I feel the opposite. I just feel sad.

"Do you need a psychiatrist?" Hans asked.

I stared at him and threw a pillow.

“I’m still far from being mentally ill!” I shouted at him.

He put his arms up. “I didn’t say that. What I meant by that is, you might want to consult to at least know why. I mean, you were traumatized. A professional help would be a huge help for you to be stable?” he said.

I shook my head.

“I’ll be fine. I know I can do this,” I said.

Hans shrugged. “Just tell me when you need me. I’m always here for you,” he said.
