New Life : A Second Chance Chapter 590

"Unless if the person is a total douche-bag or a lying cheating scum, a relationship that fails is caused by both parties," Kay said.
"Why else do you think there would always be some who support you, and some who would support Kyle?" Kay pointed out, "I won't play the blaming game or pick who was more at fault here. That is something that no one can determine fully."
"However, it is clear that when a relationship fails, most of the time it is due to lack of communication, or misunderstandings," Kay said, "These are things that Kyle knew and wanted to avoid, but ... well ... he's really a very straightforward person, Sari."
"He doesn't play mind games," Kay said, "Which is ironic since his entire life means him having to figure out other people's thoughts and moves in order to counter them. I guess, when it came to you, he just thought all of that was not needed. His mistake again."
"Look, you're a really nice girl and I can see why my brother loved you so deeply. I think … you would have been good together."
Kay had to admit that grudgingly.
Knowing her brother, and his tastes, she could truly understand why this innocent little baby appealed to him so much. She was like a breath of fresh air in his twisted world.
"However, your insecurities and lack of ability to talk to him would have been the cause of the crack sooner or later," Kay said, "If only you would have communicated your fears to him. If only you had trusted him."
"I don't deny that Kyle has his faults as well but don't expect him to be doing all the consoling and the work in the relationship. He's always going to be busy and always will have women fling themselves at him. He's handsome, rich and powerful. What woman wouldn't want that?"

"But his heart would only be with you."
"What's the point of his heart, if he shares his body with others?" Sari finally said, having the courage to say so after receiving so much criticism from Kay.
Kay looked at Sari in disbelief.
"What sharing? Do you mean this?" Kay asked, lifting the teacup, "The fact that I drank from the same cup as his, like an indirect kiss?"
"He's my twin brother and we share a bond that can never be broken," Kay said, "But your bond with him is also something that I can never touch. If you're jealous of me ..."
"No! It's not that," Sari denied, though she knew this was a lie.
Kay saw through her immediately and sighed, "Do you know you lie very badly?"
"I ..." Sari began, then flustered upon seeing Kay's unwavering gaze.
She brought her head down and said honestly, "Yes, I was feeling a bit ... jealous but I believe I would accept it sooner or later."
"No, you wouldn't unless you are honest with yourself. You have to actually say it out loud," Kay said, "If I had not detected your uncomfortableness and lie, you would have continued feeling jealous and it would have eaten up at you, right?"
Kay looked enlightened, "And you weren't referring to this now, were you? No wonder ..."
Kay gave out a deep sigh and looked sadly at Sari.
"Kyle loved you exactly for the person that you are. Kind, gentle, loving. He knew you were insecure but he thought his love for you was enough to convince you that you are all that he needs. He was busy, and he had no idea you suspected him of anything because he would never have suspected you of anything."

"Think about it. You sought comfort about the pain with another guy, so the thought of Kyle seeking comfort in the arms of another woman was a natural thought," Kay said, "People tend to measure other people based on what they, too, are capable of doing."
"I wasn't cheating on him!" Sari said vehemently, "Hamdan was just a friend."
"So why is it that you can have a friend, and nothing happened, yet Kyle can't?"
"Why is it that you require constant reassurance from him but you never needed to reassure him?"
"Why the double standards?"
"Did he do something to make you doubt him ... or was the doubt planted by Dina?"
Sari gulped.
"Don't answer that. Just think about that properly," Kay said.
Then, with another deep sigh, Kay got up and walked towards the front door. It was obvious that Sari believed her brother had been cheating on her, and a few words wouldn't be able to convince her otherwise.
The most Kay could do, was point out certain things and Sari would have to reach the conclusion herself.
"For what's it's worth," Kay said as Sari opened the door for Kay, "My brother never cheated on you. Never has, never would have. He's still a virgin, you know."
Sari's hand froze on the doorknob.
"How ... how would you know?" Sari whispered.
"I'm his twin," Kay said, "We share everything. That is something both of you should have, actually, as a couple."
Sari had no words to say to that.
Kay looked at her properly and knew that the current Sari would not have survived in their world.
If she was this insecure, nothing Kyle did would have assured her. His decisive action to step back and let her live a normal life with Hamdan showed how much he truly loved her.
Could she have learned and grown?
Of course, but if this past year was any indication, her growth was too little and too slow. She would have buckled under the pressure long before anything. Kyle had a huge responsibility on his shoulders and his wife should not be the one to add on to that.
Neither would have been truly happy.
"Thank you for giving my brother happiness when you were together," Kay said finally, "Please, be aware and think more. Communicate with your beloved more."
"Just, be happy."
