Mag-log inAt a class reunion, someone introduced me to the man I had secretly dated for five years. “Mr. Lawson, Mia works on your research team too. Why don’t you two give it a try?” I walked over to Zeke Lawson, ready to take this chance to finally tell everyone that we were together. But Zeke took a step back and pointed toward his childhood friend, who had just returned from overseas. “No, thanks. I already have feelings for someone else.” He kept his distance and made sure no one would suspect anything between us. “If you’re looking to get married, I can introduce you to someone. I think you’d be a great match.” I let out an awkward laugh as I looked at Zeke, who was keeping a good ten feet between us. We had been secretly dating for five years, yet Zeke always made sure everyone thought he was single. He always kept his distance from me. I had waited five years for him to make our relationship public. I was not going to wait anymore. “Sure. Introduce him to me.”

Weren’t you on my side that day too?”She threw her arms around Zeke.“Mia’s already married. You need to stop thinking about her.”Mabel tried to say more, but Zeke shoved her away.His eyes were red with anger. “Mabel, I let you stay here because you were my friend!“You were the one who asked me to propose to you and said it was only an act for your family so they’d stop pressuring you to get married. You promised to delete every photo and video from that day.“But you set the whole thing up to hurt Mia!”He packed up Mabel’s things and threw them out.“Go find somewhere else to stay!”Mabel teared up when she saw how cold Zeke had become toward her.She realized that he would not listen to any more of her explanations, so she left.Zeke spent the entire day making a list of every fr
Throughout the wedding, Zeke kept his eyes on me.He thought, ‘Mia looks beautiful in her wedding dress.‘She was supposed to be my woman.‘I was the one who lost her.’He could not bear to watch anymore. He stumbled out of the wedding.Zeke looked at his phone and opened the texts I had sent him before.I used to send him videos of interesting things. I sometimes sent him videos of cats playing in the street, pretty meals that looked delicious, and clouds in the sky that looked like hearts.Tears streamed down his face as he went through them.I had cared about him so much. He could not understand how I could suddenly stop wanting him or why I refused to give him another chance.He scrolled down and saw that he had barely replied to any of those messages.I had even sent him long texts about how my parents kept asking when I was going to get married. He had responded with a short reply.[I told you from the beginning that I wasn’t going to make our relationship public.]
It was a funny coincidence. That day, I went to a rooftop restaurant because Ethan had set me up with someone, and that person had requested to meet me there.When I arrived, I realized Yohan was sitting across from me.He smiled when he saw the shock and confusion on my face.“Mia, I knew you wouldn’t recognize me.“I even posted photos of myself as a kid on social media!“You still didn’t figure it out!”That was when I realized the guy Ethan had set me up with was Yohan, my old neighbor.He told me that he had been asking around about me for a long time.A while ago, he heard that someone had news about me, so he kept asking our mutual friends to introduce us.I turned him down every time.It was not until yesterday that I finally added him.Looking at Yohan brought back memories of our childhood.We had been neighbors for ten years.Before he moved away, he had cried and told me to remember him.That reminded Yohan of something else he wanted to ask me about.“Why di
Yohan Jackson stood in front of me. He looked at Zeke warily.“Mr. Lawson, I’ve met you at a few research conferences before. I know you’re Mia’s coworker.“Today is our wedding. If you’re here to celebrate with us, you’re welcome to stay.“If not, please leave.”With those few words, he made it clear that Zeke and I were nothing more than coworkers.Zeke’s face turned even paler.He had no way to argue with that. My family and friends were there, along with a few of my coworkers. Most of them had heard about how Zeke had publicly distanced himself from me at the lab a while ago.They were shocked to see him here today.With everyone watching, Zeke stopped.He hesitated and could not bring himself to take another step forward.He watched as Yohan and I exchanged our vows.Just before we exchanged rings, Zeke rushed forward.He grabbed the officiant’s microphone with teary eyes.“Mia, I was wrong.“I can’t see you marrying someone else. I only realized how I truly felt w
