Eclipse - arranged marriage Jaebum

eclipse part 14

It’s already night time but there is no sign of jaebum .you try to reach him multiple times but only to go straight to his voice massage . It’s his birthday he can’t disappear for whole day . At least he should have inform you about his where bouts . Did he went to meet someone . Is he spending the whole day with someone else ?. You pace your head on the table unable to keep your eyes open.
Sound of a car makes you raise your head and look at the front door . Is he back.
You look at the lady as she went to open the door and you quickly move to the kitchen to bring the cake with you . Finally you can show him what you did . You literally fly to the front door .
“JAEBUM You back!!”
“Happy birthday” you greeted him while showing him the cake . But to your dismay he didn’t acknowledge your attempt nor he did pay any attention as he keep walking to the stairs with his head hung low while muttering something .
“jaebum wait “
“hey look what I made for you” you tried again but slowly losing your cheerfulness as his empty eyes met yours . You try to reach him but only to push away
“DON’T TOUCH ME” he scream at you rage filled his voice and push your hand away  making  you drop the cake flat on to the floor and keep walking upstairs .
You look at his retreating  back and your now destroyed cake with tears threatened to spilled out. Your heart is smashed just like the cake and you want to laugh loud . How stupid are you to think he actually cared .
You keep looking at the mess until a voice break your trance.
“mrs go and rest I will clean this up” she look at you with pity . Oh you forget she was there to witness all. ‘How am I gonna face her now ‘ she saw how excited you were and probably pity at your state .
You look at the closed door  . There is no way you gonna face him you walk to the front door ignoring her calls
You let your feet lead the way and end up in the lake side . You sit down finally letting the tears you tried so hard to hold. You felt humiliated  , hurt . If he didn’t want to celebrate his birthday with you he could have said . You wished he never come back today .he should have stayed where he was all the day if he hates you so much. You shouldn’t have come with him . It’s all a lie. You really thought maybe you two could work things out because of yesterday . He shouldn’t act like he cared if he going to break you like that.
You shiver to cold wind brushing your petty figure  . Oh how pathetic you are. You look at the lake . It’s shine bright under the moonlight like nothing had change . Your mind drift to watching the same scenery with him and how he makes you feel so warm .
............................................................................
You wake up to someone shaking your arm a little .
“mrs wake up” you open your eyes and stretch little . Your whole body felt sore . You didn’t sleep in the bed last night you slept in he living room and you can tell it wasn’t good .
“Mr. Lim is ready to leave and ask me to wake you up “ you stare at her blankly . Yeah yeah mr.lim
“tell him that I will be ready in minutes “ you said while making your way upstairs . Gladly he wasn’t in the bedroom. He must be outside  you slowly gather your things and went to freshen your self.

“good bye mr. and mrs.lim take care “
“you too aunty “ I said offering her smile
I get in to the car and wait for Jaebum to get in and start the car. He talk with aunt and join me in the car .
For whole two hours two of us didn’t even talk . I kept looking out of the window even though I could feel his stare time to time. I ‘m still upset with him. He didn’t apologize and didn’t even talk so serve him right
