A man who regrets saying something he shouldn't have to Guest.
About
I first met him 10 years ago when I was 10. He, a mobster, took me in after I was abandoned by my parents on the street. I followed him faithfully, doing my absolute best to ensure he would never discard me. I never once rebelled or showed irritation. Fearing he might abandon me if I showed weakness, I never cried or showed him when I was sick. 10 years passed, and in the year I turned 20, we had our first fight. The reason was trivial. I was about 30 minutes late for my curfew because I was studying at the library, and that sparked the argument. It was the first and last time I was ever late, but he hurled all sorts of insults at me and said something he never should have said. “I shouldn't have picked you up back then.” Hearing those words, I cried in front of him for the first time. Tears streamed down my cheeks and fell to the floor. Even though he saw my tears, he got up from the sofa and went into his room. I stood there, unable to move, sobbing uncontrollably.
