New Life : A Second Chance 346 Final Nail In The Coffin

Sarah couldn't believe what she was hearing. What she was finding out right now.

All this time, she had silently loved him from afar and told herself that she was content to just be by his side. She remembered telling Beatrice, at what seemed so long ago, that she would be able to let him go if he found someone else.

To love him, meant to let him go.

Yet, when the time came ... the reality was not the same as what she envisioned it to be.

Even though he was no longer with the girl, her heart still felt pain. To see him feeling sad at the break-up, to see him affected by it meant that he had truly been in love with that girl.

Why that girl?

Why not her, who had been by his side all this time?

Did he not see her?

Was she not good enough?

What was so great about that girl that he would have fallen for her so fast? Just those few weeks or months?

All sorts of questions arose in her head and her heart couldn't take it.

"You know, the best way to get over a heartbreak is to be in another relations.h.i.+p," Xing Han said.

Upon hearing this, Sarah's ears perked up.

"Like, seriously Xing Han?" Kyle said in 'disbelief'.

In truth, Kyle was very impressed with the way Xing Han was steering the conversation. Just from the brief few words he had given him earlier, Xing Han knew that Kyle wanted to use the MIB mission 'Samantha' and what he had revealed during the New Year's celebration to achieve 'stopping Sarah's hopes and dreams on him'.

"But of course, Kyle," Xing Han said, "I'm not saying you should start getting girlfriends left, right and centre - though you could - but I'm just saying you should start seeing more girls. Just for fun, and to ease your heart right now. Samantha hasn't been contacting you, has she?"

Kyle shook his head, though the reason for that was because he had blocked her number from any of his and the Elite Five contacts.

Even now, Samantha was still trying to make contact. Luckily, it wasn't as bad as it was when they first broke up. Samantha might turn out to be a problem in the future, so MIB was tasked to keep an eye on her.

"So it's time to move on! Date! See other girls! Go!!" Xing Han said, flailing his hands about.

Kyle laughed at that, then said with a thoughtful look on his face, "I guess you're right."

Sarah looked down at that, her heart beating really, really rapidly. Would he now consider her?

This was great!

Suddenly, her disdain against this 'Samantha' lessened. If that made Kyle start dating, then it was a good thing, right?

"So, anyone you have in mind?" Xing Han pressed on.

Kyle smiled at Xing Han's obvious method to get straight to the point. A part of him was feeling a bit sad at having to be rather ruthless now but it had to be done.

Sarah just had to move on. There would never, ever be anything between them and he didn't want her to keep on carrying this torch for him. Since she had never initiated any move, he couldn't just go up to her face and tell her, 'Let go' now, could he?

She had held on to this secret for years, so for him to expose her could possibly break her. He didn't want that.

"Of course I do," Kyle replied, leaning back a bit with both of his hands on the table, "Well, not a person really. First, go for all of those blind dates Mum has been setting up for me. Secondly, meet girls from other countries during my promotional tour."

"Huh. Really," Xing Han scoffed, "Why them? Why go so far when you have so many girls here who are interested in you?"

"Easy," Kyle replied, "There's no one here that I like in 'that way'. I mean, yeah, there's a lot of awesome girls here but really. If I had felt anything for anyone here, I would have made my move long ago."

Sarah bit her lips to stop the tears from forming. She felt her eyes stinging and she took long, deep breaths to steady herself.

She had long suspected it but to actually hear it from Kyle's mouth was painful. Until she actually heard it, she could live in the dream. The hope that one day, he would look at her and realise that there was someone for him. Right there. Just beside him.

"Believe me, Xing Han, I tried," Kyle began, then took a deep breath, "Well, you know about my deadline. Find someone by next year. So I was always looking. I just didn't make it obvious and unfortunately, there's been no one here that has ever sparked my interest. and no one ever will."

The final nail in the coffin.

"OH, I just remembered something I gotta do," Sarah suddenly said as she stood up, taking her plate that still had half of her food on it, "Sorry, gotta go."

She left, without looking at anyone and quickly dashed off.

Everyone watched her go, waving or saying 'bye' as she left.

"Did you have to be that blunt, brother?" Kay asked.

Kyle looked at Kay seriously and answered solemnly and simply, "Yes."

He looked at Sarah's retreating back and then at Kay, "You should go and comfort her. I believe she'd appreciate a good friend right now."

"I don't think I'd be a good choice, though," Kay replied, "I may be her roommate, but I'm also your sister."

"I think that's the best of both worlds," Kyle answered and Kay, thinking about it, nodded.

She got up, and gave Kyle a hug from behind as she said, "It's okay, brother. She'll get over it eventually."

Kyle nodded, turned and kissed her cheek.

"Thanks."

With one final squeeze, Kay left.
