Now it explained everything. His PTSD, Depression, and his unfriendly nature. 

"My son is drowning, Crystal. He doesn't show but I know that he is suffocating from inside. And you could be the fresh breath of air that he is needed. I am counting on you, child. I know only you can break through his shell and melt his heart of stone. Please help him. Even though he would never ask for help, he needs it," I noticed desperation in her eyes as she clutched my hand between hers. How much she wanted me to assure her that I would help his son. Her pleading eyes broke my heart once again. 

I nodded. 

"Thank you," she whispered as relief washed over her expression. She had entrusted me the task of bringing her son back to her. And I had internally resolved to do everything in my power to help Alex get over his past and embrace the present that was here to offer him all the joy and happiness.   

Alex. Who would have guessed a man with such a hard exterior was so broken from inside. It was clear as day that his frustration of not being able to save his father had shaped him into the cold-natured man he was today. Or maybe his last words had brought these changes in him. As per Debbie, he hadn't disclosed his father's last words to anyone but clearly, it was eating him up. 

I couldn't bring myself to ask her more about her late husband as I figured the subject was too distressing for her. So I steered to another topic. The air around us had turned darker. The mention of his father had brought out such a heart-breaking reaction from Debbie, I wondered how would he react. I didn't want to know either, to be honest. But I wanted to know about his last meeting with his father. Maybe then I could be able to help him. Save him from his own thoughts.  

Debbie also told me that Alex has been seeing a therapist. I wondered if he had confided in his therapist about that night. 

I returned home more curious and more baffled. So many questions. How was I going to draw out their answers from him? Alex would never open his heart to me; that much I knew. I had to get closer to him in order to make him trust me. Something I had been trying to do since the day I became his wife. 

I understand he had a tough past but what I couldn't wrap my mind around was why was he pushing me away. Why he was eyeing me as if I am responsible for all the bad things that befell him. 

The sooner I would get bottom to his mystery, the sooner I would be able to fulfill my promise to Debbie.
