Am I that Unlovable? by Summer Cheng

Chapter 43

      Nino's  POV:

     I knew I had messed up big time.

    Why had I shared the secret?

      It was not even mine to share.

      I had let down my fiance's best friend.

      Now, Alya had called it quits.

     

   Everything in my world had gone downhill from there.

     I had no idea how to fix it.

     The strange thing was that she had yet to return the ring.

        It was more like she refused to wear it.

     Maybe I should have known better to buy it.

    Perhaps the ring itself was not a good choice.

    Then, again, who was I kidding?

    It was only a piece of jewelry.

    I was the real jerk here.

    Why didn't I keep my mouth shut?

     But, no, I had to go and tell Luka something I should not have.

    Who knows who he had spilled the beans too?

      I should not have interfered with Marinette's life like I did.

    I should not meddle in other people's business.  

    

    Now, it was too late.

    How could I possibly repair the damage I had caused?

    What if Luka went after Marinette and demanded rights to the baby?

     It would be all my fault.

     Ugh, why did I go with my stupid gut feeling to tell him?

    Perhaps, I thought he would patch things up with Marinette for some twisted reason.

      

   I shook my head.

   I was a disgraceful person.

  No, wonder Alya had dumped me.

    I sobbed. Sobbed for what had been and for what was no more.

   Perhaps, this is how Marinette felt when her ##S&  #@!% husband had tossed her aside like yesterday's rubbish.

    *Author's note the funny symbols are in the place of  Nino's cussing because I could not bring myself to type such filthy language. 

    

     I had ruined four lives, mine, Alya's, Marinette's, and her baby's life.

     I was despicable.

     I  got on the phone and apologized to Marinette for what I had done.

   I was shocked she forgave me so fast.

 Then, I called Alya.

   I let it ring six times before I lost my nerve and hung up.

   I could not stand to hear the laughter, the sting in her voice as she told me to take a hike, or jump in a lake, or something.

   Til Chapter 44 is available,

  Bye-bye, little owlets!

Summer out!

   Author's note: I will leave it here. Goodness, Nino sounds down in the dumps. Is this writer going to make everyone have the feels or what?
