“VERONICA!” HE SHOUTED her name so loudly that it seemed as if the nerve in the neck would pop out. His face is red, he's not thinking straight. His body seems burning with anger. No, he’s in a rage! At that moment, he becomes a ticking bomb that is ready to explode.He’s heartbroken. He couldn't explain how hurt he was right now. No one can understand the pain that he feels witnessing his girlfriend having an affair. He wanted to convince himself that all of this was just a nightmare and he should wake up from this agony. That all of it is just a lie. But the longer he looked at his girlfriend, the fact hit him harder!He couldn’t pretend that he was not hurting and not degrading while looking at Veronica who looks like she isn’t in her right mind.

As a grandson of the remaining family that she has, it’s time to do what’s best for her because she deserves to have a good life too but what did he do?
