Feeling sick, I pressed my palm against my stomach as if I could hold it all in—all the emotions, disappointments, forgotten dreams—but it was too late for that. I felt the first tear slide down my cheek, I couldn’t stop all the others that followed. In just a few minutes, I was full-on silently crying, the tears a quiet stream I didn’t know how to stop.
The days went by but we didn't talk with each other, he didn't eat breakfast or dinner at home. There was just a week left, after that I had to work with him and it's going to be frustrating. Today I was bored as hell and thought about cleaning the house. I started with the leaving room then kitchen and my room. I entered his room and saw his clothes piled up on the couch near the balcony. I went inside and took his clothes for laundry. I came back and did his bedsheet. And put his clothes inside the cupboard, but then I saw a red diary which was lying between his clothes. I ignored it because it is not good to invade his privacy. I already entered his room even though he had said no. But curiosity built up in me and I took that diary out. I opened the diary and saw a photo…….
I opened the diary and saw a photo of Taehyung and a girl. She looked pretty and it looked like they both were happy together. Ohh god does that mean because of me they both are not together?? Am I the one who came in between and ruined their life?? That is the reason why he has always been rude to me. The tears started forming their way down my cheeks. I brushed it off and flipped pages. He wrote everything about them in this diary. How they met, how they became friends, how their relationship was, how much he loved her. But one thing was missing, he didn't write about how much she loved him. I shrugged it off and put the diary back into the cupboard. I decided to ask his parents about him and this girl whose name is I suppose Sophie. I changed my clothes, took my phone and went towards his parents house.
I reached there and greeted his mother. I don't want to pass time and want to confront it now. So I sat on the couch. "I wanted to ask you something." "What ?" "I wanted to know about Taehyung's past relationship", after my question his mother went silent. "Tell me what it is, why is he so rude to me? Did I ruin their relationship?" "So you got to know about his relationship. Actually the thing is, his ex-girlfriend Sophie was a gold digger. She never really cared for my son, she just wanted money from my son. She always used him for fulfilling her needs. We got to know this when we doubted her and asked her to leave my son if we gave her money. And she agreed to this deal. If she loved him truly she would have never left him. I tried to explain this to Taehyung, but he was blinded by love and couldn't see the true colours of Sophie." I was just sitting there listening to what she had to say.
And the thing is both the ways Taehyung is the one who is hurt. Even if he lives his life knowing Sophie is the good girl, he would be in pain because he was married to me. And if he got to know that she was a gold digger, he would feel betrayed by his love. Before I could think of anything else his mother interrupted, "can I just ask you a favour?" I hesitated but gave in, "yes." "Can you please help me prove to my son how Sophie really was ?" "But it will hurt him, he would feel betrayed", I answered. "But it is better than keeping him in the dark." I thought his mother was right. This is gonna hurt him both ways, so why not tell him the truth. "Okay fine as you say. But how are we gonna do this?" "I can appoint a man to look for Sophie so we would get to know what she is doing." "Yess, I think it's a good idea."
After the conversation with his mother, I went to his house. I know it's ours but I still can't feel that it's ours. I entered the house and saw him sitting on the couch. I just ignored him and went towards my room. "Did you enter my room?" "Yes." "Will you please leave me alone? Don't you have shame for invading someone's privacy?" He darted towards me and held me by my shoulders. "Just know one thing, I will never accept you as my wife. So if you want to divorce me you can. But don't interfere in my personal life." He was fuming in anger, but I just wanted him to know the truth. So I just spit out everything about Sophie.
"I will because I am your wife, and I am not divorcing you. You are just living in a lie. You don't even know how your ex-girlfriend was. She was with you because she wanted money. She was just using you. I am not saying this all because I want you to accept me as a wife but I want you to know the truth. The truth which you can't see because you're blind in love." Before I continued, he held my shoulder tight and shook me. "Enough, how dare you talk about Sophie like this. I don't want your opinion on my life. So better shut up and get lost" he left my shoulder. And went towards his room. I stood there staring at the place where he was present, a few minutes before.
Next day, Taehyung went to the office and I worked as usual. In the afternoon, I got a call from his mother. "I found where Sophie is?" "Okay, so what do I have to do?" I asked, curious for the next step. "I will just look into her daily activities and will try to figure out how we can proceed further." "Okay as you say, bye."
I had already started working in the company as his PA. But we keep it short and professional. Neither of us talk outside of the office with each other. It's been a week since the phone call with his mother. And there, the phone rang and it was his mother. I answered," hello, I found out that she is going to the Holiday Hotel with her new boyfriend. So please take Taehyung there. I am sure she is going to spit out everything." "Fine, I will try. But what is room no. and what time? " "It's 406 , at 7 pm." "Done, I'll take him there." I thought about what to say to him. And then the idea pops up. I knocked on his office door, "come in." I entered, "Mr. Kane wants you to meet him at 7 pm in the Holiday Hotel. And I will be accompanying you" "Fine" I walked out and waited till the clock ticks 7 pm.
