WHO ON EARTH DID I MARRY ?

21: Try to leave me again and I will jump off the Han river

Getting to the police station, I was asked to fill my security number in a form and was given a first aid for my wounds and bandaged, then I was put behind bars.

Sleeping in the cell, I felt like a true criminal with those other criminals taunting me all night.

I was so afraid and couldn't even sleep.

In the morning, I was allowed to call my family and friends but before they could arrive, Kwang-Su's father had already sent their lawyers to have me sued for battery and attempted murder and they said their client will not settle.

I guessed this is his family's way of finally getting rid of me.

Because they had already obtained Kwang Su's statement and the doctor's report and sued for aggravated assault and threat to life which is a felony under the Korean law.

My mother came running and crying with my little sister alongside my friend.

I explained everything that has happened to them, I felt so ashamed to have let my loved ones down again, especially my mom, she doesn't deserve this at her age.

Although she was very disappointed in me but she didn't abandon me.

She called her lawyer friend to try to reason with their lawyers and plead to settle but we all know their family doesn't need money.

My mother went to a nearby shop to get something for me to eat, she was crying while I was put back behind bars again waiting to be charged to court.

My mother would pay me visit everyday with food and also alongside with the lawyer trying to negociate with their lawyers but each time it fails.

Finally, the perpetrator came to visit me in jail and of course, as usual he wanted to come and apologize, I declined the visit request but the police officials forced me to go have a sit with him.

He sat across me with this apologetic and remorseful look that could almost melt my heart but I was strong, I didn't fall for his lies this time.

They say the silent ones are the most dangerous, now I know.

"What are you doing here ?
Come here to see my humiliation or what? Quickly go and get married to your fiancee and leave me alone, am tired of loving you and all that comes with it, I can't Imagine the pain I put my family and friend through just to be with you .Please leave me alone and give me a peaceful divorce. "

"Impossible."

"Kwang-Su,what more do you want from me? Do you prefer I disappear from this planet for you and your family to be happy ? Why don't you just let me go and all this will be over? Can't you see that love is not enough ?"

"Like I have done in the past, if you try to leave me again I will jump off  the han river."

He just stood up and left with red shot eyes.

Life is just too complicated, what will I do now.?

I have spent at least  four days in prison now and still not properly charged.

Next thing I know I was released, I don't know how it happened but I was out of prison.

A car was waiting for me outside and I was taken back to his family villa.

Getting there, I saw my mom and sister kneeling and begging my in-laws to let me go.

This is the height of it!

Why will my mother humiliate herself like this? I guess this was the reason why I was released.

'' Mom, am fine now but why are you crying and kneeling? Please stand up"

My heart broke into pieces.

I asked trying to pull my mother from the ground.

"My son, the government has issued us a demolition notice that the land now belongs to the government, your husband's father says if you don't accept their deal, our house will be taken away from us by the city urban development department and demolished"

I couldn't bear it any longer and so I accepted to their deal for the sake of my poor frustrated mother, she then returned home with my sister.

Am such a waste of a son to let my mother go through such.

After accepting their offer, I said to myself.

"If I play my cards right and am able to get Kwang- Su to get his mother to let me leave the country, I can finally be free, go back to the US as earlier planned and file for a divorce".

This has been my plan all along but its so difficult to execute.

I was made to sign all the papers the lawyers gave me with heavy heart and my stuff were moved out to one of their private properties.

All my husband did during this whole process was sit beside his father with his head bowed down, he couldn't even look me in the eyes.

Before I went to bed in the new house, I called my mom, my sister and friend each to apologise to them for everything I put them through but my friend did not pick up.

Next morning, I was given a car and taken to my new office as General manager of one of their luxury departmental store in Gangnam.

I resumed work in no time and things seems to be going according to their plan.

I will work everyday and go back to my new home and sleep alone.

Soonest am bored again and can't stop thinking of my poor mother whom I disappointed.

Since my best friend stopped picking my calls, I had no one to talk to, he has to understand that is not all my making, if I had the chance I would have left but I can't travel as it is.

At this age in her life I didn't expect to make my mom sad but things are really out of my control.
