Bitterness Of Love

"I called you here today because Lindy and Diken have an announcement to make." my father said in English. My father Lei Hou.

The whole dining table was quiet and only the sound of cutlery could be heard.

"We're getting married!" Kyla spoke enthusiastically to us. She's so happy that she raises her fingers to make proud of her ring. A beautiful diamond ring.

"Congratulations baby..." Our mother's answer was almost formal. It looked at me and I knew what that meant.

"Congrats..." I heard. He looked at me and his happy face became formal.

"So when is the wedding Diken?" My father asked.

"As soon as possible sir... i don't want Lindy walking with her big tummy" he explains, and it hurts! So fucking hurts!

"Good." It was quiet again but my heart wanted to explode!

Diken Vildamir is my ex-boyfriend for 10 years! Yes, fucking 10 years! And if I hadn't seen them in their shamelessness we would probably still be.

"Leigh, I want you to get ready." Daddy grabbed my attention when I was dumbfounded.

"For what dad?" My good sister asked. Wow really huh? she asked about it earlier. Are you Leigh! Huh?!

"Its Leigh who i am asking, Lindy! I told you don't meddle to anyone's affair!" Our hostile daddy is almost angry.

Yes, my dad is super ultra mega strict. And he thought us not to meddle to a conversation if you are not the one's whose talking to.

"Sorry dad..." she apologized lowering her gaze.

Good for you! I want to be voiced. One point for Leigh! HAHA wait, Am I being mean?

"Leigh, your dad is asking you..." Mommy said looking at me. I saw sadness in her eyes. Pity for me.

"Yes dad, what is it?" I ask. I'm actually nervous. My hand is shaking and its freaking cold!

"Tristan Lee the heir of Lee Corporations, I want you to date him..." It finally says. Like, he don't give me the option to say no. I had no choice to accept it.

"Oh that man... Yes dad! Sure!" I raised my voice. Because i don't want him to get mad at me. And i want to show to the two that i can move on!

I accidentally looked at him, who was staring at me. I saw his face darken. I knew that expression in his eyes.

Jealousy. Regrets. Anger. Madness.

I smile at him, trying to show him that I'm okay. But deep inside I'm hurting...

"Good. Many boys are asking to date you, but I want you to give your time to Tristan." my dad said.

So that's how beautiful I am, right? HAHA

Diken Vildamir, You are not the only man in the world! And i can find a man better than you! I want to shout it to his face.

But i started to ask myself, is there more to a Diken Vildamir? I don't think so...

He's a rich, a billioner. With a handsome face and a sexy and hot body, I'm sure many girls would die to caught his attention.

And Lindy was very lucky. She was able to snatch the man I love from me.

The dinner is over and they continue to talk about the up coming wedding of the two and i don't care!

Yes, I am jealous! I'm hurting!

But...

"Excuse me, I'm just going to cr..." I just said. Because as of the moment, I can no longer hold back the tears I want to shed because of the pain.

"All right.." replied my mother who knew maybe how I was feeling at that time.

I looked at the two who were busy with what they were doing. They really look good together!

Instead of Cr, I went straight to the Garden.

The smell of the flowers calm me. The sorroundings is beautiful. But the pain I was feeling did not diminish.

Pain, Betrayal and Anger.

I cry my heart out. I cried crying without sound.

I noticed a red rose, I picked it up, regardless of the thorn. I smell it.

Its smells good. But it can hurt you.

Just like him, He have everything that a man can offer, but he hurt me!

"Its still your favorite huh? Be careful of the thorns you might get hurt..." i heard a familiar man voice said.

I close my eyes. I wiped away the tears of evidence of my weakness.

I accidentally pressed my grip on the rose.

I can't feel the pain. Because that numbness in pain! But i know my hands are bleeding.

"Hon! What the fuck are you doing!" He almost shouted starting to approach me.

I saw how worried he was as usual. I close my eyes firmly.

"Stay where you are Mr. Vildamir! Do you think I was hurt because of this? No! Your cheating hurts more! I trusted you! I give my all! But what ..." Emotions exploded wanting to disappear.

"Do you know how I feel huh?! I want to die to end the pain! Diken, of all people, you know me!... How could you!" I continue.

"I am so sorry hon .. i really do. I also don't want to see you hurt!" He said. Sincerity. I can see that in his eyes.

But is it enough to cover their sins?

I don't think so...

I smiled bitterly.

"I can move on too, and when that happens, that's my sweetest revenge." I said.

Diken stared at me, its like he's memorizing my face.

He's face turns dark, and i saw him smirk.

"As if I will let you. You also know me Leigh. I can get what I want..." he said that puzzles me.
