LTY 12: Life

Life is definitely full of surprises and uncertainties. There's nothing certain in life no other than uncertainty itself. Let's just deal life with all odds.

Imagine yourself going to a place for a vacation to getaway for a moment from your sad reality. Afterwards planning to finally meet his parents for courtesy measures. But suddenly bumping into the person whom you wanted to avoid the whole trip - your husband.

Do you still find it as a coincidence? Or should you say its fate that brought you together?

It's gross and too cheesy to believe.

Anyway, we've been living together for eight months now. I mean not literally living together but he does come home sometimes, you know his nature of work. And it's an easy access for him because it's in the same area of their company.

What I mean also is that I've been living in Korea for eight months now. April left me the day after we came back from his parent's house. I didn't know that time that we're are actually going to spend overnight there.

We talked and she cried so much because she's going to leave me. But then she encouraged me to live with him so I will be able to know him more. She even threatened Jeonghan saying, "I love you but if you hurt my best friend... I will still love you. Joke. I will really hate you oppa."

We also agreed because of our company matters. I won't be there for a long time so somebody has to take over for a moment until I can finally go back. Yes, I'm looking forward for the divorce maybe one of these days.

While mom and dad then paid me a visit with my Aunt Neah and Nay Luvy to check on me and to arrange, NO, not arrange but gave me all the papers I needed to live here. They also said the same thing as April, to live with him to get to know each other.

Well obviously, I am now a naturalized Korean citizen because I am married to a Korean guy for 10 years now. Funny, isn't it?

If you calculate it, I was actually 17 that time. Mind you, my papers are clean and they were actually already updated after the marriage. I was just too naïve to not check on my status. That's because I have April and our family lawyer who handles all our legal documents.

Now, it finally came to my mind why mom and dad would always ask either the lawyer or their secretary to process things for me not April. And because I usually travel privately, I didn't even notice my papers were already updated.

I was informed that his papers were clean and updated too. It's well hidden since it cannot be known to the public. It can never be. For his safety, I asked both of our parents for protection because of the nature of his job.

His parents were encouraging him to retire as soon as possible so he can protect me and our marriage but I totally disagreed with that. It wasn't the solution at all, I told. And that's the first time I stand for myself from his parents though they weren't shuddered because they already knew me for my obstinacy.

Now, we are both protected but we still need to be careful. He needed to hide his status until he can no longer handle me and our condition which will be leading to our divorce soon.

And that nobody will even know that he got married nor divorce, not even his company nor his fans as long as I can hide well otherwise, we're doomed.

The advantage and disadvantage of having a powerful family is that they can manipulate not only other people but you, yourself.

It was a horror for me and I don't even know what to do before. I was muddled and unready but then I just reminded myself, go with the flow and don't disappoint your parents and grandpa.
