Destiny 》

chapter 10

"We were ten when we first met, she was my neighbour, and our parents talked well to each other. Her parents invited me to her eleventh birthday party, and that was the day I first talked to her

Days passed and we kept talking a little more every day, we went to the same school, and to the same class, which made us best of friends since the start

She was liked by many, an ideal student of the class, while I was an average one, or maybe below average. Our classmates always asked her, why did she have me as a friend when she could find many better ones and she always had the same reply

Because I feel comfortable with him, he is my safe place, and best of the reasons, he feels right

A little too deep words for an eleven year old, but that's what she always replied, and I would break into a bright smile everytime she said those words

Slowly we grew up, things changed, our relationship changed too, we started dating since the first year of college, I liked her from way before that, but I was always an introverted kid, and that didn't help me much in the idea of confessing and so she was the one who confessed, and we started dating

Our parents knew about it, we told them, and they were happy, they supported us and we couldn't be anymore happier, it was all perfect, I felt like I found my fairytale, well I just had the tragic part of those fairy tales in my fate

It was two years ago, when we both decided to get married, it felt pretty early, we were both just twenty four, but like she always said, it just felt right, and not forced

Our parents were happy, seeing us thinking about starting our own life, apple was too excited as well, she would sit beside me, showing me all sorts of furniture and wall decorations she needs in the house we would live together in

She had also decided our honeymoon destination, when we weren't even engaged, it was Switzerland, her choice hasn't changed yet

It was all going good like always, until march, when she had to attend a buisness meeting and she travelled to Canada all alone, she came back, she did, but she wasn't the apple I kissed goodbye to at the airport, she was someone else, someone I didn't recognise

She started growing distant, her sitting beside me, turned into sitting in front of me, then on the sofa next to me and slowly she shifted into the guest room, saying she needed to sort out some things

I never let these things get in my mind, I wish I would have, but I didn't, I always tried to understand her and let her do what she felt comfortable in, I trusted her with my life

She started coming home late, her buisness meetings increased, and sometimes she didn't call me for days in a row during the time she stayed abroad

And then one fine day, when I was going back home from my workplace, I saw her, with another man in the cafe, the cafe which is in front of my company

It felt as if she wanted me to see her with him, she wanted to let me know that I lost her, she wanted to let me know that she is no longer mine, and that we won't work any longer

And if that wasn't enough, I saw them lock lips, I could feel my whole world shattering in front of me but what could I do? Nothing, and so, I stayed silent, which I shouldn't have done

I confronted her at home, three days before our wedding, she accepted that she had cheated on me and still was, she accepted that she doesn't love me anymore and maybe never will

When since the starting all she ever said about me was that she felt that i was right, suddenly she felt that I was wrong, that everything between us was wrong, and what did I do? I broke down

I fell to the floor and cried my heart out, while she walked away, she spent the night outside the house, maybe at her new love's house, and all I did was cried

I asked her to call off the marriage, marrying each other make no sense if we didn't love each other, but she denied saying

I can't, my parents won't let me, they see you as the perfect man and they won't see that I don't see you as one anymore, I will give you a divorce very soon, don't worry, and if you think your parents would listen then please cancel this wedding from your side arthit

She never looked guilty, being the one at fault, she told me to cancel the wedding, I tried to, but standing in front of my parent's happy faces, I couldn't bring myself to tell them something so terrible

And in a blink of an eye, our wedding day arrived, I was ready, standing on the stage with the priest and everybody in the church, waiting for her to arrive, but she never did

The bride, apple is missing

Was what the lady, who had to do her makeup informed us, the little hope in my eyes, which believed that we would do something, that I would get her to love me again shattered with those words

Tears rolled down my eyes one by one, in front of everyone, my relatives, her relatives, the media and every single person present there

That was the worst day of my life but for people it slowly became a gossip, a hot topic about my life, me and my failed wedding" arthit concluded, chuckling at the end

His cheeks were wet due to the tears rolling down without a break, wiping away his tears, arthit turned to look at kongpob

Kongpob noticed how, not even a second later, new formed tears rolled down his cheeks as arthit now made no attempt to wipe them away

"Arthit...I.." Kongpob was short at words

What was he to say? He didn't know, arthit looked vulnerable, and kongpob just doesn't want to imagine the empty look on arthit's face, he must have had on his wedding day

"Its fine, you don't have to say anything to comfort me, your presence is comforting me enough" arthit replied

Kongpob stared at him, as arthit turned to look at the night sky, filled with stars

"Just know that, I trust you the most right now Kong, just please, don't ever break it" arthit whispered the last part

"Never" Kongpob whispered back intertwining his little finger with arthit's

Arthit looked at their intertwined little fingers resting on the boundary they were sitting on as he slightly smiled

Don't worry arthit, you can trust him, he won't break it arthit heard his heart whisper

I purple you 💜
