Chapter 9
She, Krista, would have a more brilliant and dazzling life.
With this in mind, she suddenly felt enlightened and turned back home.
Three hours before, she threw away everything she had left in her house, and then she lay on the sofa watching the sunset alone.
Two hours before the deadline, she took out her notebook and edited the photos she had taken the day into a video.
After a one–hour countdown, the video editing was completed. After watching it once, she opened the camera again, aimed at herself, and pressed the record button.
She wanted to record a farewell letter that she wrote to Frankie.
Finally, the entire video was completed. She inserted the memory card back into the camera and then took out the divorce settlement, placing it together on the bedside table in the bedroom
Frankie.
From that moment on,
Congratulations.
we
divorced.
And congratulations to me as well.
Having done all this, she carried the last piece of luggage and left this home, leaving this city.
No one knew where she was going
But she left decisively, without any nostalgia, without looking back.
On the other side.
Frankle didn’t leave Rosa’s house until her illness had improved significantly
He was driving while calling Krista, wanting to fulfill their previous agreement.
I made more than ten calls in a row, and my phone kept playing the “power off” tone. I also sent messages but received no response.
Married for three years, Frankie couldn’t reach her for the first time.
Reminded of the last car accident incident, he couldn’t help but worry a little and turned back home for a while.
All the items in the new house were placed back in their original positions, no longer piled up in a mess.
But Frankie only took a glance and noticed something was wrong
Did you see any of Krista’s things?
After realizing this, his heart jumped a few times and he hurriedly returned to the old house.
The whole house was empty, he searched inside and out but didn’t see any sign of anyone
He didn’t see a camera and a stack of documents on the bedside table until he entered the bedroom.
Remembering her happy expression a few days ago when she was holding the camera, Frankie temporarily breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the power button, wanting to see what she had filmed.
A video popped up with lively music, showing footage of different places in Southford University. Every now and then, a long text would flash on the screen. He was about to press pause as he watched it.
“Frankie, there were still many students skateboarding in the square. I remember the first time I confessed my feelings to you was here. You politely rejected me back then, and I cried the whole day when I went back”
Frankie, the library is still bustling with people. I didn’t dare to disturb anyone, so I could only take a picture from afar. This place must be familiar to you, it used to be your favorite spot.”
“Frankie, this is where you played basketball, and I have been secretly watching you for four years.”
As he watched scene after scene, Frankie seemed to be transported back to the carefree and youthful days of six years ago.. Looking back on that time, remembering Krista who was always with him, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. The music ended, but the video still had one minute left.
He thought it was some secret surprise, couldn’t help but look around, but didn’t see Krista appear.
With a mind full of doubts, he pressed the play button.
After a few frames of black screen, Krista’s face appeared in the middle of the screen.
As Frankie looked at her red eyes and tired face, a sudden sense of unease rose in the depths of his heart.
“Frankie, this year marks the tenth year since we met, and also the tenth year of my secret admiration for you. It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? My feelings for you have grown to a point where they can be measured in decades. Actually, I find it hard to believe myself. After all, how many decades does one get in a lifetime?”
“In the past ten years, I had experienced unrequited love for 7 years and married you for 3 years. I constantly wanted to enter your heart and I also made a lot of efforts for it. But can everything in the world Fo anymore. Even if another three years, seven years, or ten years pass, I cannot change the fact that you don’t like me
I wish? If you don’t like me, then you won’t like me
“So on this memorable day, I made an important decision, which was to let go of this obsession and also to fulfill your deep affection for Rosa. So when you see this video, I just want to tell you, no, I should say inform you of something.”
“Frankie, we got divorced.”
