Semua Bab My Love Died For The Wrong Person: Bab 1 - Bab 8

The rain drenched my body. Unlike my pathetic appearance, the atmosphere in the room was domestic and happy. Garcia York, a nurse, was lying in bed. Meanwhile, Jonathan Pullman, my fiance, stayed beside her and told her to rest as he peeled an apple for her. The apple skin never broke. It showed that he was skilled at peeling apples. I recalled the five years we spent together. I loved eating apples, but I never managed to pick up the skill of peeling them. I even ended up injuring my hands a few times. I used to ask Jonathan for help, but he would always scowl. “Since it’s so bothersome, don’t eat it. The only knives I’ll hold are scalpels, not fruit knives.”I stopped eating apples after that. Yet, Jonathan picked up a fruit knife and peeled an apple for Garcia with his precious hands. “I’m sorry. I prevented you from getting married to Elena again, Jonathan,” Garcia apologized with teary eyes, like a sad bunny. Jonathan froze for a moment before he sternly sai

Garcia sent me a few photos. They were all photos of her leaning against a man’s shoulder while they were in a cinema. I recognized that man’s dress shirt. Jonathan was wearing it earlier. [Jonathan’s so nice. He brought me to see a horror movie right after I mentioned that I wanted to see it. Has he ever watched one with you before, Elena?]No. Forget a horror movie, we had never even gone to the movie theater together. Jonathan claimed that he felt uneasy when he sat in a dark place. Additionally, those who loved watching horror movies were apparently sick in the head. He sure was good at coming up with excuses. I laughed soundlessly again. I was such a joke. [Thanks for the food you made for me, Elena. It’s no wonder why Jonathan always praises your cooking. [Some women really seem like they’re suited for wearing an apron and working in a kitchen.[Not me, though.]I could practically see the mocking sneer on Garcia’s face. I replied, [Do you really think you go

Back to Elena’s story.The flight I was supposed to board got delayed, and I had to wait for two hours. But I did not want to stay in this place for even a minute longer. So, I bought the next closest flight and got into a cab once I landed. After traveling for more than five hours in the cab, I finally returned to the home I had not visited for five years. However, the sight of it surprised me. Vines crawled all over the gate, and weeds overran the garden. That was not all. I also saw black scorch marks on the walls, which had been left behind by smoke. The house was so run down that it seemed like no one had lived there for a long time. “Dad! Mom! It’s me, Elena!”I stood at the gate and shouted, but I only heard the wind responding. For a time, panic gripped my heart like those vines. “Elena?” A puzzled voice came from the second floor of the house next door. I saw Mrs. Clark, my neighbor, look out through the window. “It’s me, Mrs. Clark!”I hurried over. M

Jonathan was ecstatic, but all I felt was hate. “Drop the act, Jonathan. You’re actually disappointed that I’m not dead, aren’t you?”Jonathan was taken aback by my response before he fell to his knees. “I’m sorry, Elena! I know I’ve let you down too many times over the past five years! But I really do love you, and I can’t be without you! Please give me another chance to love you!”He held my hand. “We can get married today! I won’t let you down anymore! I’ll love you forever!”I felt my skin crawl, like disgusting cockroaches were climbing all over the hand he held. I broke away from his grip. “Marry you? I’d rather die!”Jonathan stared at me in disbelief. My heart raced, and I wanted to stab him in the chest. “I won’t blame you for being cold to me, but I hate you for not telling me about my parents’ deaths even after a whole year has passed! I hate you for turning me into the most despicable type of person in the world. I hate you for preventing my parents from resting
