Jam 9 Kurang Seperempat

Dalam perjalanan ke bank untuk menyetor uang, aku tidak sengaja menemukan sebuah postingan: [Pernahkah Anda melakukan sesuatu yang sulit diungkapkan tanpa diketahui pasangan Anda?] Di bawah postingan, seorang netizen berkomentar : [Aku diam-diam mendaftarkan pernikahanku dengan cinta pertamaku, tapi pacarku masih menyetor uang ke rekening bersama kami. Dia benar-benar bodoh. Dia kira aku benar-benar ingin menabung untuk membeli rumah dan menikahinya.] [Sudah ada 1,3 miliyar di dalam rekening, ketika dia sudah menabung sampai 1,6 miliyar, aku akan diam-diam menariknya!] Aku melihat komentar itu banyak disukai, lalu melihat saldo rekeningku. Tidak lebih, tidak kurang, pas 1,3 miliyar. Ternyata pacarku dan cinta pertamanya telah mendaftarkan pernikahan mereka!

On Valentine's Day, I set up a candlelit dinner and waited. At 9 PM, my husband, Alfred Johnston, finally texted. [Something came up at work. Don't wait for me.] Then I saw her post. [On a business trip with the CEO for Valentine's Day. Every hotel is fully booked—awkward...] Vivian Bianca, his secretary. Attached was a photo of a guy in a bathrobe, standing by a floor-to-ceiling window. The comments were all 'ooh, CEO's so hot and girl, you're in for a night.' Vivian? Just dropped a smug emoji. So that's what "something came up" meant—a romantic getaway with his secretary. I screenshotted it, posted it on my own feed, and added a smiling emoji. A second later, Alfred called, fuming. "Vivian was joking! Why are you so petty? She's young, not as calculating as you!" I didn't let him finish. "Then let's get a divorce. That way, I won't have to care when you screw around and catch something."

It has always been him, he was my first love, and so, I had to let him go. He wasn't made for this life. He, was made for greater things. He was too much of a tornado for this small town, that doesn't mean I miss him any less. It's been 9 years since we last saw each other. Nine years of hatred on his part and self-loathing on mine, why did I let him go? Now, he is a successful billionaire, living the life one could only dream of. I wish things were different now that he's back but that just seems like a foreign concept to him. He doesn't want me anymore, but I can't blame him either. It was me who broke us and it is going to be me who will put all the pieces back together. Even if it is the last thing I do before death comes knocking at my door.
