It's Something Like A Daydream

In my past life, my mother kept matchmaking me with a man with violence issues. After being subject to domestic violence, I tearfully called my mother and asked for help. However, she didn't do anything. Ultimately, I died from his violence while pregnant with his child. After I was reborn, my mother ended up being the one to marry him. This delighted me. She had no idea that he had AIDS!

Wala sa plano ni Francyn na pumayag sa pustaan ng mga kaibigan niya. Hindi rin niya alam kung bakit siya napapayag ng mga ito gayong hindi naman niya ugaling manloko ng tao para lang makaganti ang kaibigan niya sa lalaking nangloko dito. Pero sadyang mapagbiro ang tadhana sa kaniya. Kung si kupido nga nagawang panain ang puso ng mga sawi siya pa kayang ni minsan hindi pa naranasan paano ang magmahal. Paano kung siya mismo ang mabiktima ng kalokohan ng mga kaibigan niya. Paano kung siya mismo ang mahulog sa lalaking akala niyang nanakit sa kaibigan niya. Kaya ba niyang pigilan ang nararamdaman para sa isang kaibigan? O susugal siya sa pag-ibig na ngayon lang niya naramdaman.

"ถ้าพี่ต้องการแค่เพื่อนเที่ยวคงไม่นอนกับธาม ไม่พาไปเจอครอบครัว ไม่ต้องสนใจว่าพ่อแม่พี่จะคิดกับธามยังไง ไม่พามาที่ฮ่องกงด้วยกัน ไม่จำเป็นต้องให้ใครรู้ว่าธามมีตัวตนอยู่ในชีวิตพี่" ธามไทไม่จำเป็นต้องมีตัวตนเลยก็ได้ เพราะสถานะของเขามันก็แค่เด็กในปกครองของเธอ แต่เฮสเทียก็ให้สิทธิ์เขาเข้ามาเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของเธอ รู้จักกับคนสำคัญในชีวิตซึ่งไม่จำเป็นต้องทำแบบนั้นเลยก็ตาม "ธามอาจจะคิดว่าพี่เห็นแก่ตัว แล้วใครบ้างที่มันไม่เห็นแก่ตัว ใครจะอยากเจ็บ ใครมันจะอยากทำร้ายหัวใจตัวเอง ถึงคนอื่นให้คำนิยามว่าพี่เป็นเจ้าแม่ แต่ก็ไม่ได้แปลว่าพี่จะควบคุมทุกอย่างได้นะ" เฮสเทียเปิดเผยความรู้สึกทั้งหมดให้เขารับรู้ เพราะเธอไม่อยากให้เขาเข้าใจอะไรผิด ๆ ว่าสิ่งที่เธอทำมันเป็นการให้ความหวังลม ๆ แล้ง ๆ แก่เขา "ธามคิดว่าธามพยายามอยู่ฝ่ายเดียวเหรอ พี่เองก็กำลังพยายามอยู่เหมือนกันนะ"

For eight long years, Bryan Millan and I were married, but you’d never have known it by looking at his life. He never once acknowledged our relationship in public. Not a single post, not a single mention of me on his social media. Then came our anniversary. The day that was supposed to be about us. Instead, Bryan made an announcement on his Instagram account—just not the one I expected. There he was, hand in hand with his assistant, her draped in a wedding dress. The caption read: [When you're in love, you want the whole world to know.] The comments flooded in. [Bryan finally got married!] [Congrats! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together!] In that moment, I could no longer lie to myself. Bryan wasn't reserved. He just never loved me. So, I decided to let go. But he wasn't ready for that. He clung to me, desperate now. But I pried his hands off and laughed—a real, genuine laugh, the kind that comes from somewhere deep inside when you realize you're finally free. Then, I looked him straight in the eye and said the words I'd been holding in, "Don't beg me to come back. Because now that I don't love you, I've never felt better."

My dream was simple: Build a quiet life with the person I adored after college. However, destiny had a different course in mind when my father revealed that I had to rescue my late mother's struggling business by marrying the merciless CEO, Alexander Blake. At first, life with Alexander appeared promising, but as the saying goes, nothing good lasts forever. That was until his childhood sweetheart barged in, shattering everything I held dear and leaving me with a whirlwind of shame, bitterness, and fury. I fled Texas for London, where I spent the next six years rebuilding my life. Now, I’m back in Texas with my son, Franklin, driven by a burning desire for revenge against everyone who has wronged me.

Hari itu tiba … Dari dimana aku melihat diriku dengan segala hal yang berhubungan dengan pernikahan, menatap diri pada cermin rias dengan seribu pertanyaan. Untuk apa semua ini? Bertanya apakah ini begitu penting untuk kehidupan dimana dia hanya gadis biasa, yang hanya memikirkan belajar dengan baik, masuk ke dalam perguruan tinggi sesuai harapan, dan berbagi cerita dengan orang terdekat. Tapi? Seakan takdir berkata ‘kau berbeda dengan yang lain’ seakan dia memang harus menghadapi takdir yang tidak bisa diharapkan dan tidak sedikitpun terlintas dalam pikirannya. Menikah?
