Christening The House

Happy New Year....

Kongpob's POV---------

The colors of the late afternoon sky were a sight that I'd never get tired of looking at. So many sweet colors can be seen unlike the other times of the day. Even in movies, the most beautiful part was before the end or in the end.

It was so nice to just lay here on the soft grass in our backyard and stare at the sky until the stars start to appear. The cool breeze felt good on my skin. I wish I could just float up there, it seemed so peaceful. No problems and nothing to worry about.

Today was probably the last day of my marriage with the love of my life. He was mine but I wasn't sure if I was his. I am not even sure if he ever loved me more than a friend. We would be in the court tomorrow for our divorce.

We were married only because of our families. Our fate was decided the moment we were conceived. Our parents are the most richest families of the country and they arranged our marriage so their money wouldn't go to a family that they didn't trust. We were part of their businesses deals.

My husband and I had been married for twelve years already. But.... We never stayed in a room as a married couple and we never made love. It was something hard to believe but it was true. We didn't wanted to get married because of a buisness deal but we knew that we couldn't disagree with our parents too. So we decided to get married but to stay as only good friends and we tell each other to have a relationship if we meet someone we like, we were both okay with it since we had no feelings for each other and we had needs. The only thing we needed to do was keep a low profile because one of our friends and family might see us and things would end up badly.

We never found someone special, to feel even remotely interested. I had been very busy with work and so was he.

With time, I just realized that I loved him with every fiber of my body. But I knew he can't be mine. So I decided to stay quiet and be happy with his friendship only. But........ Six months ago...... he said he wanted a divorce.

So many times I wanted to tell him that I loved him, but I just couldn't. I know he didn't feel the same about me. I didn't want him to feel bad about leaving me.

Our families need an heir for the two companies but we couldn't and wouldn't produce any so the family agreed that it was best that we end things between us since the marriage is not working.

At least we shared twelve years of friendship. I could talk to him about everything and he also told me tons of things. When we had problems, we consult each other. After tomorrow, I know that we would remain friends forever.

This was the last day that I would stay in this house because we would both move out tomorrow. Everything has been already in boxes inside the house. I had bought a condominium unit near my office and some of my stuff are already there. He also bought his own one in the city near the main office of their company.

It's 31st December tomorrow......day after tomorrow is a New year, a new journey of our life will start with it....... But we will leave on our separate ways.

'You will get over him once you both are apart'

'I will'

'There's a gaping hole in your chest that only he can fill. You will never be the same without him. He has your heart'

'But I don't own his'

'How sad'

'I know'

My mental conversation with myself was interrupted when I heard his car pull up in the driveway.
