Suddenly Married

KIAN

After we had dinner, we went home one by one. My relatives are going home, so Daddy and I will go with them in their car.

I don’t know if Beth’s cousins were planning to stay overnight at their house so that they could bond or whatever. I want to talk and be with Beth, but I don’t want to deprive her of her relatives, especially her cousins ​​who want to celebrate with her.

I did not go with my friends. I always get hurt or get in trouble when I go with them. I’m already married and my focus should be on my wife. Something I forgot for a while.

I was enticed to join the drink because it was my friend’s birthday. And Beth allowed me to, so I took advantage.

But the only thing I didn’t really know was that they lied to me and to Beth, when they let me know and said the celebration was just at their house. It was in a bar. Okay, just once. And then I’ll go home right before Beth’s allotted time.

We were having fun as soon as Jewel’s group arrived. She was not even invited yet she joined us at our table.

It’s no secret to me and my friends from high school that Jewel likes me. I was honest with how I felt. My friends knew that I like or had a crush on someone since my elementary days. Until it becomes infatuation when we reach high school. Too bad she didn’t like me that time anymore. I tried to have a relationship with other women.

Used them but I clearly talked about how far we can go. Why didn’t I try Jewel? I don’t want to give her hopes even though I know it’s vague. She just hopes and I might end up having a hard time breaking up with her. Knowing how freak she was.

I know, I’m stupid because instead of flirting with Beth I went through teasing and bullying her.

I also couldn’t understand myself why I was excited when she was already blushing with annoyance. I even threatened those boys who tried to court her. Yeah, I’m a coward, jerk, and impulsive. But in all that happened, I did not regret that we got married because of what happened to us.

I really love her. And I promised myself that we wouldn’t graduate college and part the path of life without us being together. When Jewel kissed me at the bar, my conscience bothered me a lot. Beth allowed me to go with my friends and that thing happened.

All she knew was that we were the only ones and the celebration was only at home but we were at the bar. The worst was that Jewel was there again, obviously determined to do whatever she was planning to do badly. Before everything gets complicated I avoided it. I will avoid my friends as much as possible.

I am already married and I should pay full attention to her as she does. Jewel blackmailed me. This woman was a freak!

It’s hard to please Beth. She could ignore me. It was my fault because I lied to her. But I will not give up. The few years I waited for her to be mine and the year we were together as a couple, I will never let it to be wasted.

I’m used to sleeping next to her. Those nights that she chose to stay at their house were sleepless nights to me. I am guilty so I have to suffer. I will never do it again.

So when we finally talked, I was so happy. I tried to make it up to her by giving her a surprise and romantic dinner. It hurts when she told me that she prepared a surprise dinner for our monthsary. I was very immature because I didn’t go home.

Instead, I drank because I was so annoyed with myself. Jewel has something against me. She was right, I should have just told her the truth. I just don’t want to make her feel bad. But they say that there is no secret that cannot be revealed.

She knew and it was painful that she knew it from others. I talked to my friends to help me with the surprise I was going to make for Beth before our graduation. Didn’t know that it will turn out so bad again.

I’ll fix it.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

I clean our room. I changed the pillowcases and bedsheets. I put away the clutter. I will go to Beth to talk with her. I miss being able to sleep next to her. Her smell and her soft skin that was good to touch.

When I made sure the room was in order I went downstairs. Someone rang the doorbell.

When mommy opened the door Beth’s parents were there. I smiled and waited for Beth to come in but she wasn’t. They sat on the sofa. Daddy called me right away. I sat down on the single sofa.

“Is there something happen, dear ?” Mommy asked Beth’s mom.

Beth’s dad nodded and the couple looked at each other. In his hand was an envelope that he immediately handed to my parents. Mommy looked at me. Daddy accepted it and opened it. He looked dumbfounded. He looks at me with a confused face.

Mommy snatched the paper from Dad’s hands. Mommy’s reaction was the same as him. She looked at me. Her mouth was half-open. She wanted to speak but no words came out of her mouth. There were unshed tears in the corner of her eyes.

I felt nervous. I looked at Beth’s parents who didn’t speak as mommy did. I could see mixed emotions on their faces.

I immediately reached out for the paper. I was shocked as hell!

What does this mean? Daddy cleared his throat.

“Why?” he asked. Beth’s Dad sighed.

“For their good. I was in anger that time. My only child is Beth and found out that she slept with a man. I was mad that time.” he laughed timidly.

“It’s true that don’t decide when you’re angry,” he continued with a smile on his lips but it didn’t reach his eyes. “I’m sorry for my hasty decision. I’m sorry, Kian.”

What the!

“Because of that, you’ll just let us separate?” I asked alarmingly. He smiled sparingly as he stared at me. I took a deep breath.

“If it’s about what happened last night, let me explain,” I begged.

“Kian…” Mommy said. Her looks were judgmental.

“I didn’t cheat, please. I swear!”

The couple sighed. It was as if they didn’t want to believe my explanation. But it’s true!

“Kian, what did you do?” mommy asked in an offended tone.

“I made a surprise for her. I begged my friends to pick her up. While I was at the resort and arranging my surprise for her. Jewel came. I was in the bathroom when she suddenly showed up naked. I hurried out of the bathroom and chased her away because anytime Beth would come. That’s what Beth saw when they came. Mom, Dad, please. Please don’t let us be separated.”

I wiped away the tears in my eyes. I looked at Mommy and Daddy. I wanted them to help me.

“Mom, Dad, I can’t afford to lose Beth. I know I was impulsive. But I didn’t regret it when I married her. I dreamed of her for years.” They looked at Beth’s parents.

“Maybe we can fix this,” dad said.

“We didn’t decide about this. Beth asked us to help her with the annulment process,” Beth’s father said. This can’t be real!

“Where’s Beth?” I can’t believe she wants to divorce me. We didn’t even talk. I was not even given a chance to explain. They did not answer me.

“I won’t sign that,” I answered firmly but my eyes began to water.

“It’s for your own good. You’re still young. Forgive me if-”

“I will never sign that. Beth is my wife and she is the only one I want to be with for the rest of my life.”

They looked at each other. Mommy told me to let Beth be alone and think first. If we are really destined, we will meet again. And when is that? I won’t wait months or years for that destiny. She was my wife and I couldn’t afford on losing her and not be with her.

I call her but she does not answer. Her mother handed me a small piece of paper with a note. It’s Beth’s handwriting. It was short but I could feel the weight of how she felt when she wrote it.

“I don’t want the time to come that you’ll choose. I don’t want to be slapped with the truth that you choose her over me. So, I am choosing myself.”
