1. "Good fucking question."
2. "Answer it."
3. Christ. Here we go.
4. "Hello?"
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. Hi kiran.
2. "Why are you calling, mina?"
3. The annoyance in my voice is unmistakable.
4. I have a few things I wanted to say.
5. "My girlfriend jiyeon is here with me. I'm putting you on speaker."
1. I click the speaker-phone button without waiting for a response.
7. I won't have her wondering what is being discussed between me and my ex-wife.
8. And I won't deliberately hide anything from her.
9. Mina clears her throat and momentarily stalls.
17. "I never meant to be the villain, kir."
1. I was young...and foolish.
2. I loved you, in my own way, but I realised quickly after we wed that it wasn't a forever kind of love.
3. You worked long hours, you were building a company at such a young age and were so driven and singularly focused.
4. I was cut out to live my life in the shadows of your work.
1. I felt neglected and as wrong as it was, I let myself get swept up in the attention of another person.
2. I felt wanted and desired and those were things I'd been missing from you.
3. You provided everything I could want materially, but you weren't emotionally available to me.
4. And I'm not blaming you.
5. We just didn't have that deep connection.
1. Your work was your first priority.
2. "Why are you telling me all this now??"
3. I ask, fighting the urge to roll my eyes.
4. I don't know what game she's playing, but if it's forgiveness she wants, she's barking up the wrong freaking tree.
5. She cheated on me. Then took half my damn money.
6. Relationships take work if she was unhappy in our marriage, she could have talked to me about it...
1. After a long pause, mina continues.
2. My lawyer mentioned in passing that you were out of work due to a death in the family.
3. I was curious, so I called amanda.
4. I had no idea she was still in contact with amanda.
5. For some reason that pisses me off.
1. "Yes, we lost jiyeon's mom."
2. I explain. I take hold of jiyeon's hand...
3. And lace my fingers in between hers.
4. I heard and I'm very sorry.
5. "Is there a"
1. "Reason that you called, mina?"
2. My patience is wearing thin.
3. "Get to the damn point or I'll hang up, mina!"
4. Yes. When I heard about your situation I guess it struck something in me.
