The celebration was a success. Dad was in the sky in happiness.
But I couldn't be happy.
I knew the future, of us.On our return home, Dad was praising the President.
Like he got a black diamond in hand.My weekend finished like that.
Hearing my father's over excited voice.
Last night I didn't even go home.
But -
The happy satisfaction is that I didn't meet Jungkook. I am safe.
My family is safe.At 1:00 am :
every one has already gone.But my work is still not done.
So I had to stay behind.
Not that I am getting goosebumps.
Feeling a creepy sensation.
Nonetheless i was typing fast to finish soon.I jolted up with a cold hand in my shoulder. I screamed out loud.
A laughter echoed following my fear.
I slapped that hand.
Hard.
"Sam...have you gone nuts? What was that?"
He was still mocking me.
"Look at your face"
Stomping on his feet I again sat on my chair.
"Sorry Sorry... Didn’t mean to scare you that bad. Your parcel came this morning i forgot to give it."
"Parcel? I didn’t buy anything"
I took the box from his hand.
"Maybe someone else gifted. Open it."
I teared open the packaging.
It was something small.
"Ooohoo.. It’s a jewellery"
"Sam...go away"
But that shameless creature didn’t move an inch.
Scoffing I opened the mini black velvet box.
The shinny circular object made me speechless.
"Woooooooow...hhh"
Sam was ogling that very familiar ring in my hand.
My inside was trembling.
In sadness.
"Tae, are you crying? What happened? Are you sick?"
But my tears were not stopping.
Suddenly my breath stopped going out of my nose and i was hyperventilating."Tae...Taehyung... Kim Taehyung"
My eyes closed.
My body got closed.
Shutdown.______________________________________
"I told you so manyyy times to eat properly. But you don’t listen a word of mine............"
I stopped listening further.
Mom was blabbering non stop.Dad was cutting fruits for me.
I got conscious four hours back.
No one was leaving my sight after that.
Bombering me questions.
I could not answer.
What would I say - that magically my wedding ring from past life arrived in front of me in a delivery package.Thinking about that makes my body shudder. I don’t wanna see that ring again in my life, ever.
"Why are you sweating in ac?"
Dad took a tissue to wipe out my warm skin.
"I don't feel good"
"Should I call the doctor?"
"No need. I should sleep for a few seconds."
I closed my eyes to avoid all those questions.______________________________________
I am feeling something warm in my hand.
Someone caressing my hand?
No, my finger.But my mind wasn’t ready to wake up. So I slept again.
Dreaming about my engagement day.
The day he didn’t even arrive.
His mother put a really big show in front of my and his family.
My parents had their head castdown.
In shame.
In embarrassment.
And me the idiot.
I was so eager to see my illusion of a husband - could not even realise how my whole clan were bowing in apology.
The apology they didn’t have to give.
And I was not there beside them - to say - It's not your fault, don't bow.I still remember fresh.
His words - for his absence in his own engagement party.
'Stop nagging like a bitch, you are a man - behave like a man'
'But...it’s... Our..enga......'
I was trembling - could not match his eyes. Tears were breaming.
But my would-be husband did not even, a slight bit of, show apathy.
'Fuck off...i have thousands of works. This play date of an engagement - you go play, alone. I will not be a part of this'
He took the ring in his hand and threw it in the pool water.
'This ring is the root of all problems, no ring - no drama'
He stormed away from there without even gazing once at me.
I spent that whole night searching for my ring. I had a fever above 103.
But he didn’t even visit once.The stupidity of mine.
Thinking that.
Wishing that.______________________________________
When I woke up, sam came to visit and scolded me for scaring him like that.
I just smiled.
The two day vacation at the hospital went well with Mom and Dad.
Every night I felt that hand, that touch. But something pulled me down to open my eyes.
So i could not see if that person really existed or it was only my hallucination.My first day at office was really good.
Everyone welcomed me.
The team leader also gave a treat to everyone with a big lunch.
I was really enjoying my day.But there was again those flowers at my table.
Lily.
I threw them in dustbin.
And ordered the gaurd never to let any flowers inside.The very next day i saw those damn flowers again. But this time the whole floor was decorated with lilies.
I got really angry.
I stormed to the bodyguards' section.
I charged them.
Why those flowers were there again?
But my loud questions were only answered with silence.
They only stood there head down.
Finding no answer i came out.I was going to the CEO 's office.
But got stopped by the President's personal secretary.
What 's he doing in this floor."The president wants to meet you"
