When Rage Replaces Love
A Call That Burned Everything
Iman dialed Delicia’s number with a quiet smile playing on his lips. Weeks had passed since they last spoke properly, yet his heart still lived in the memories — the late-night conversations, the laughter that once felt endless, the future they never finished imagining.
The phone rang. Once. Twice.
Delicia: “Hello?”
Her voice sounded lighter than he remembered. Almost too light.
Iman: “Delicia… it’s me. I just wanted to check on you. How are you doing?”
There was a pause — brief, controlled — but Iman felt it settle in his chest.
Delicia: “I’m really good, Iman. Actually… I’m really happy.”
That word echoed louder than the silence around him.
Iman: “Happy?” “What’s making you so happy?”
Delicia: “I’m happy with King.”
The name slid into Iman’s heart like a blade made of ice.
Iman: “King?” “Who’s King?”
Delicia smiled on the other end of the call — calm, certain.
Delicia: “He’s my boyfriend. And he proposed to me.”
Silence.
Iman’s fingers tightened around his phone. His chest grew heavy, as if something precious had fallen — not loudly, but forever.
Iman: “Proposed?”
Delicia: “Yes. He wants to marry me. And I said yes.”
Something inside Iman finally broke.
The quiet affection he carried shattered into rage and burning jealousy.
Iman: “So fast?” “You barely know him.”
Delicia: “I know him well enough. He treats me right.”
Iman stood, pacing the dark room, anger seeping into every step.
Iman: “He’s not right for you. You should stay away from him.”
Delicia went quiet — then laughed softly.
Delicia: “Why are you so angry?” “Why do you sound… jealous?”
Iman stopped moving.
Iman: “I care about you.”
Delicia: “Then be honest. You’re jealous because you still love me.”
Her words didn’t shout. They cut.
Iman: “You moved on too quickly.”
Delicia: “No. I chose happiness.”
Delicia: “King makes me feel safe. wanted. loved.”
That word — loved — echoed like a wound reopening.
Iman: “What if he hurts you?”
Delicia: “Then I’ll face it. But I won’t stop living because of fear.”
Delicia: “Your jealousy isn’t my responsibility anymore.”
The call ended.
Iman stood alone in the dark, staring at his phone — burning with everything he never said.
Love doesn’t always leave loudly. Sometimes, it walks away quietly — while you’re left behind with nothing but rage and regret.
