My story is a typical copy cat of K-drama it seems anyways its a fiction so I thought why not?
I cant believe I did it with an ex that too when we both are engaged and going to get married in the coming six months!!!
I couldn’t even look at him I just wanted to take a shower and run away somewhere or how about going back to UK?
I cant go there what will I say to my fiancé and how will I face my parents? Yes I come from a very traditional Indian family, who knew?
What is wrong with me?
He is like a drug I cant get over with. He already placed an order for breakfast and as soon as we were about to eat there was a knock on the door. He opened the door and his fiancée who is a drop dead gorgeous and from another corporate family Korean girl slammed through the door, slapping him and looking at me most disgustingly anyone has ever looked at me.
I was mortified, I ran to the bathroom changed my clothes and was about to leave when he held my hand and said that it was the most beautiful time he spent. I was like what the hell is wrong with you? You were just slapped by your fiancée while making out with an ex and still?
I just ran feeling so ashamed of myself. Ashamed maybe cause I was caught red handed but mostly because I surrendered to a man who stole my everything from me a decade ago, whom I detested to the core but I craved him still the same way I used to. To me at that moment never was anyone else was as despicable as me.
I was boarding the flight next day not knowing what to think cause my fiancé loves me, my parents are happy, my ex is already engaged. My ex-boyfriend, well the only one socially is uber rich, has great degrees, for him his family reputation comes first, the society where he socializes comes first. A guy like him might fool around with a girl like me but will never marry me.
Lets go back in the past
9 years ago when we met in South Korea, I am born and brought up in South Korea. We met at my first club outing while he was practically ‘born’ there. There was an Indian song being played and you know you can never deny genes, I danced like crazy and so did all my girlfriends. I studied in girls school all my life it was the first time exploring the college life. Since he is extremely desirable, most girls keep talking about him. His arrival was treated like some rock stars arrival, naturally I was curious. When I danced somehow he noticed me, to this day I would never know what on earth caused him to look at me but he did.
Since I grew up in that culture my idea of beauty is their idea of beauty and he was fine, just perfect. He approached me in college and how could I say no?I knew it very well what I was into as its impossible for guys to bring home an exotic girl, its just unacceptable and combine it with a girl from a humble background, it’s a recipe for disaster but then I was very young, I was a mere 21 and he 23. We were like worlds apart different race, religion, culture, food, family, style, class you name it we had every difference that would have ever existed on this planet.
However, there was one thing in common we were extremely desirable group of people, him cause he had everything that a girl dreams of : looks, money, power, family and me cause I looked very different: exotic!! Somehow we connected and he is a gentleman who caught me in the web of looks, charm, wit, intelligence and a little bit of pampering; guilty as charged.
All this inculcated into a steamy romance between us, which was well wrapped from the world for sure from our parents. The more I knew him the more crazy I got for him and I thought he too.
Debacle
However after a year he told me he has to go to States to pursue his studies and he cant see me anymore. I knew what I was into but I never expected it to end, he was my first everything and the way I was madly in love it seemed my last. Since I was raised in a vehemently traditional family my concept was that I had to be only with one guy and it had to be him although subconsciously I knew I was bluffing myself.
I knew the time had come to wrap my feelings and let him go with my honor intact, I don’t want to act like a jilted lover; I want the best for him, he was born for greatness, to carry on the family legacy. Finally he left, I also asked my parents to let me study abroad so I moved to UK: a whole Atlantic apart!!!
I came back to attend a close friends wedding who is a Korean and is in the same university as mine in UK and out of all the coincidences he happens to be there???
Repercussion
I broke off my wedding which was damn hard but I cant fool my fiancé, he is a nice person and he deserves to have a girl who loves him and only him. Plus I felt guilty as hell as I had cheated on him so recently, this sounds so bad but I did I don’t know if I can ever forgive myself. He asked me the reason and the worst if he did anything wrong?
I couldn’t even look him in the eyes, what should I say?
That I was busy making out with an ex and I didn’t think even once of you? I felt like the earth should swallow me but I knew it was the right thing to do, I have a right to fool myself but not him.
Plus even though he is a perfect guy I could never force myself to like him, never for some reason. Maybe cause we were never meant to be and maybe cause I was about to cheat, damn!!
Truth is stranger than fiction
Came to know my ex also broke off his wedding back in Korea, a shocker as who wants to refuse to marry a conglomerate owner whether the girl or the guy that too so beautiful?
Rich people huh who knew?
Sitting in my apartment thinking all the bizzare things that happened, there is a knock on the door and its my ex!!!
He kissed me and asked me to marry him?
For once I felt it was a dream or maybe he is drunk? Nope he was sober and it was real, I pinched myself just to confirm.
Even if our parents are disappointed, even if we have to fight the world, even if he had to step down a little bit in his social status, even though it took almost a decade for me to smile back once more, I knew that if I even had to live like a human being it had to be him, it was always him and forever will be no matter what the world says, we will make it. Amen.
