1 Chapter 1- Last Wish

"Juliet are you going to work now?" I asked my wife, who is a worker in a private company with a high salary.

"Yes, please close the door when you're going to leave. I'll head out first, goodbye!" She said.

I'm Augustus Park, 28 years old and have been married for almost 1 year already. I married my long time girlfriend Juliet whom I met during my high school days together with my supportive friends.

Our marriage is perfect since we never fought and also took care of each other.

I'm just your average Joe who works in a government company as a Programmer, would you believe that I was almost a UFC Professional Fighter if I didn't marry my current wife.

I didn't regret it at all since it's her.

While I am eating my breakfast; eggs and a plate of rice, Juliet's phone rang. She probably forgot to bring it with her, I think she'll be back to get it.

I got up and looked at the ID Caller; Carlo. It was my best friend since middle school, he was also my best buddy during our wedding.

Since I knew who it was, I decided to answer the call when suddenly I heard a disturbing word he said.

"I checked out a hotel for us later, I'm sorry I did it without your permission. I miss you." Is what he said.

Just after hearing those words made my mind blank, then suddenly the door opened. It was Juliet who was going to take her phone.

"Honey, I forgot my phone did you see where it is?"

Juliet was in front of me looking like she's seen a terrorist or something; her eyes showed it all nervousness and eagerness to take the phone away from me.

She immediately took the phone and cut the call.

"Honey, it's not what you think"

"What do you mean it's not what I think? I didn't even say anything, don't tell me you're guilty?"

"Wait… No"

"So tell me, when did it start?"

For a few moments we remained silent, as I waited for her to answer my question.

"Few days after our wedding…."

"What do you mean Juliet? Come on, have you forgotten the oath we said to each other, are you messing with me right now?!"

"Do you love him? come on, answer me!" I angrily asked.

"Yes….! I do love him, during the time when I needed you he was there for me, he comforted me and he even confessed to me, I just forced myself to marry you since we had a 10 year relationship, if not for that I would break up with you for him!"

Just hearing the words that came out from her mouth made my world fall apart.

"Why….. W-Why….." I then threw everything my hands touched, she startled.

"Did you sleep with him?" I asked her while my tears were coming out from the both of my eyes.

".....! Yes! I-I mean I missed him and loved him so why could I not do that…."

"Juliet after all these years you still could cheat on me… tell me did you ever loved me?"

"...."

I waited but she never responded to my question.

"Tsk... just don't respond I am leaving" I immediately ran away and hastily opened the door.

While running away I had countless thoughts in my mind that could never disappear.

Suddenly I bumped into an oldman, I immediately apologized and asked for forgiveness. Then, I stopped because he looked like my deceased father and it looked like my mind wanted me to talk about my problems with him.

"Old man wait a minute can we talk?"

The oldman happily responded, "Sure.."

Just like that I told everything to the oldman and what happened to me, he never really responded near to the topic but his words were very calming to me.

"Young man in this world there is both good and evil that could make a person change, forgiveness is a must but it's your decision if you want her to be a part of your life once again."

"Oldman, I think I can forgive her, I love her." I responded.

"Let me ask you, would you ever hug or kiss your partner after this incident?"

"Of course-....."

It was the only question I couldn't respond properly, my mind could answer but the heart doesn't want to.

"See, though forgiveness is a must we can't love someone again after getting broken by it."

"Thank you, Oldman. though we didn't know each other but I felt closeless to you. For giving me some of your time here's 5000 won just buy everything you want with it.."

"Thank you, son for giving me this. If you were given one time to wish what would it be?"

"Maybe return to the days where I didn't really have a problem and just hang out with friends after school."

"Ah.. is that so? I hope it'll happen." After that the oldman left out of nowhere.

"I hoped too.."

Then suddenly I felt dizzy and slowly passed out on the road. With a half/half vision I saw a shining oldman who looked like the oldman before suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Goodluck, in your new life,'' the oldman said.
