Two years and four months ago

Qing's POV

If somebody told me, three years ago, that one day I would actually feel this kind of feelings towards Lin Min Mei, the girl I thought I would always love, maybe I would have beaten them to pulp.

But, look at me now. Lin Min Mei, the girl I had always thought I would be in love with for the rest of my life, is in front of me. She's as pretty as she'd always been, even with her six months old pregnancy. She's still pretty. She was also dressed beautifully. And yet, all I could feel for her was exasperation, annoyance and anger; all of these negative feelings I had for her were accumulating and bordering on becoming a disgust.

She's not the sweet girl I held so dear in my heart two years ago. She had shattered her image in my mind; when she did what she did.

When she came back and tried to get with me, despite still being married to Guo ge, my best friend, I was shocked and a little disappointed in her action. But I still thought of her as a friend, someone I once loved. Of course, I couldn't accept her because I already had someone else in my heart then; my Dayu; but I didn't think that she would stoop this low to get what she wanted.

I understood unrequited love. That's what I thought I had had for Lin Min Mei for ten years. Hence, I could sympathise with her, now that we're in a reversed situation; She confessed her love to me but, unfortunately, it's much too late. For she had lost that special place in my heart. I might not have realised that what I felt for Dayu, when I rejected Lin Min Mei, but I knew that Dayu played a significant role in making me unable to accept her. I couldn't even be glad when she told me she loved me and wanted to be with me. Instead, I felt guilty and sad towards Guo gege. She lost a little of her shine in my eyes that day. Whatever her reason was, when she married Guo gege, it was her own decision. Nobody forced her to marry Guo gege. Yet, she's acting as if she's the victim in what happened. She should have learned to be a better wife to her husband even if she didn't love him considering that Guo gege really cherished her. I was disappointed that she's not as perfect as I thought she was, but I thought that I couldn't really blame her for it. It's a matter of the heart. Only the bearer knew what they want.

But now; she lost everything altogether. Her sweetness, her pureness, my fond memory of her; were all numbed by her recent betrayal.

It didn't only saddened me this time, it also made me see her in a new light. A very bad light.

I just couldn't comprehend how she could have done this. How could she took things to such extreme extent? How could she do this to me, and to Guo gege?

A month after Dayu disappeared she suddenly appeared in front of me one day, in front of the hotel, telling me that she's pregnant, and that the child was mine.

I was dumbfounded, as I looked at her as if that's the first time I finally saw the real her, "what do you mean, my child?" My voice was cold when I finally spoke, holding her at arms length.
