Watching the people around me is terrifying. It does show how different I am to them. It does provide the answers to my questions. Why were they given the things I asked for? Or is it better to say "she". Why was she given the man I asked for?
On this day, the future we once dreamed for is already shattered, broken, and will never be fixed again, like my heart. I want to ask why but I won't stoop that low again. I want you to tell the reasons without me asking. I want you to come back to me without me begging. Because the last time I asked you, your answers didn't make me happy. And every time I think about everything, I don't deserve you as much as you don't deserve me.
From this day until your last breath, you will face and greet the mornings with her face as your first view. You will be eating breakfast with her and much worse you will be eating her for the rest of your life.
I chuckled because of the thoughts running in my mind.
I gathered all my remaining strength and finally showed up.
All eyes looked at me as I walked through their backyard. Despite the pain and betrayal I'm feeling, I smiled. I know that all their eyes are on me now.
"Who is she?"
"Hmmm, she's familiar,"
"She was Jake's date in his last event!"
"The one who look like trash?"
Then they all laughed.
"Is she even invited here?"
"Well, you know the trash...they still come to a party even if they don't belong to it."
I took a deep breath to hide that I was affected by what they were saying. I didn't let them see that I was hurting to all their hurtful banters.
"Congratulations... Allison, and my ex-fiancé, Jake." I gave them my sweetest smile. With their faces now, you'd think I was Malificent ready to curse them.
Jake grabbed my hand and whispered in my ear. "What are you doing here? Please just please." I can hear his begging voice.
"You didn't invite me. I just came here to greet you and also to witness the wedding I sho--" I was stunned when he pulled me away from there.
"Are you really not going to ignore us? Ash please! Move on!" He asked as his eyes blazed with fire.
I removed my hand from his grip because of what he said. How dare he? How can he tell me to move on despite the things that he's done? The thickness of his face.
I looked at him directly in his eyes.
"Move on? No. Of course not. I won't move on. I will let you and your wife feel the pain you let me feel—"
"I swear, if you did something bad to my wife and to my family, I'd kill you" he cut me off only to hurt me with his words.
I smiled. Despite the pain that I was feeling because of his words, I smiled. In spite of all the things that he has done to me, I smiled. I managed to smile yet I wasn't happy.
I grabbed his collar and kissed his lips. He tried to push me but I tightened my hold on him. I'm waiting for him to push me with all his strength but he didn't. My hopes arise.
He still loves me! I knew it!
