We all sat together for dinner. Momma and dad were not leaving my side at all so I had to sit in the middle.
Since I came to visit, my parents kept asking why Jungkook didn't come. And I kept lying, saying that he had some business stuff to do. What else could I do? I couldn't say the truth.
"I made these specially for Jungkook. I thought he would come.. " momma said in a sad tone. She really cooked all type of dishes for dinner. Both of them were so excited to meet Jungkook. But he didn't care.
"It's okay-" I was about to say but Aunt Ellie cut me.
"He sure doesn't like these food, right Ava?" She said,with her same devilish smirk on her face that she uses to mock people. Specially people like us.
"What do you mean?" Momma said from beside me.
"I mean, Jungkook is a multi billionaire. He sure doesn't like this cheap food, does he?" Her smirk grew bigger. I could hear Elizabeth's mocking laugh from her side.
Momma looked at me confused. She didn't want to believe that Jungkook could be like this.
"It isn't like that Aunt-" and she didn't let me complete my sentence.
" I don't really want to hurt anyone but look, Jungkook really doesn't suit with you Ava. I mean look at you. Loot at your family." She eyed the three of us like we disgusted her. "You are middle class family, and look at Jungkook. That man runs the business world. Even his bodyguards are richer than you. His standards and taste are different from you and your family."
"Mom is right. Jungkook deserved a girl who has everything to give to Jungkook, who can set his standards, who has money, big house, big cars, who is used to attend big parties, like me." Elizabeth's lips curled up in one side, knowing how successful she was in hurting me and my family. "But you don't have any of that Ava, do you? No money,no car, no house. Nothing.." she said,rolling her eyes at me.
" And maybe this was the reason why Jungkook didn't come right? Like why would he? He knows he has high profile in the society. Why would he want to spend time with-" and this time,I didn't let Aunt Ellie complete her sentence.
I had enough of this shit. She could insult me however she wanted to, but insulting my parents in front of me? Not happening under my watch.
" Enough Aunt! We may not have money, we may not have big house or cars but at least we don't mock people. We treat everyone like human being, unlike you who thinks people with less money are not humans." My fist tightened around the spoon.
I took a deep breath and started, "And if you think Jungkook didn't deserve to be with me then why did you force me to marry him? Why did you lie to my parents? Why did you ruin my future?" My voice cracked yet was loud enough for everyone to listen clearly.
From the corner of my eyes,I could see my parents looking at me. I knew they both were shocked. But truth had to be revealed and the harm was done.
Jungkook's words were ringing in my ears. How many times did he say that I was a gold digger like Elizabeth?
"And I am not a gold digger like Elizabeth. I may not be rich but I have some self respect,and I clearly don't run after money." My stern eyes were now on Elizabeth.
All of them looked taken aback from my outburst. Honestly, me too. But it had to be said. I didn't know where I got that courage to open my mouth from, but all I knew was I wanted to say more, I wanted to take out everything I had buried in myself for years. I let my tears rolling down my cheeks for them to see how they made me feel,but not for them to take this as my weakness. These tears were the proof of my new beginning. A new start.
I stood on my feet and walked towards the door,leaving my untouched food. I didn't want to look at my parents. I knew how they would react. All the time,they thought I was happy in my married life when the reality was totally the opposite.
I was about to step out of the house when I heard my parents calling for me. I sighed and turned around. I couldn't run away from reality anymore. I had to face them.
"Ava? Why didn't you tell us? We could've-" Dad tried to find words but I didn't want him to. It wasn't his fault at all.
"Don't worry dad. I'm totally okay. I know whatever happening with me isn't right at all. But I can change it right? You never taught me to be this weak. I am your strong angel. And I will prove it to both of you." I smiled through my tears.
" But what about Jungkook? He isn't happy with this marriage,is he?" Momma asked,I could see her tears but she didn't let them fall.
"He isn't. But I can try. I can make him happy. I believe myself momma. I will make him realize that marrying me wasn't his mistake."
Could I though? Jungkook meant so much to me. I didn't know when I grew this strong feelings for him. But everything about him pulled me towards him. I wanted to make him realize I was never a mistake in his life.
"No! You will never return there after this." Dad said in a stern voice.
"Never run back to what broke you."
I knew he wouldn't let me go back there.
I took his both hands in mine. "I was never raised to be broken this easily. Do you want me to run away from reality? You sure didn't teach me this, did you?" I said,with hope in my eyes.
He sighed. "Promise us,whatever happens next,whatever it is, tell us. If you need anything, we are always with you Ava and you know that."
I knew they will always be with me.
I smiled and hugged both of them. With the oath of the new beginning of my life.
I turned around and started to walk when a voice stopped me.
"Do you love him?"
Love. Such a strong word. So many strong feelings, emotions, understanding.
I looked at mom and smiled.
"I do."
Moon shining bright in the dark night. Cold breeze making my long hair dance in a flow as I walked along the silent road, with the new hope, new confidence, new me, to get back what was mine. To get back Jungkook. He was mine. Mine to love.
I unlocked the main door and entered, but something seemed different. What was the smell? Feminine fragrance...
It was just smell until I walked closer to Jungkook's bedroom.
Feminine voice.
Moaning...
