C9 REJECTED AND UNWANTED

If you’ll ask me, I don’t want to go home yet. I must admit, I’m so disappointed with what I discovered.

I guess I expected too much.

I thought that we can live like a normal family. I expected too much from him.

But who am I kidding right? We all know that there is no love in us. And he is in love with someone else.

I even thought that I could replace her. But I was wrong. I can never replace her.

Even if he is married to me, the person he loves is still her.

I didn’t notice that my tears began to pour again.

I felt pain in my chest, and this pain is very familiar to me. I felt the same pain when I found out about my parent's view on my existence.

Flashback

I was about to go to my parent's room when I heard them arguing.

I was shocked when I heard them shouting at each other. This was the first time I heard them quarrel because they never argue and they seldom talk.

I know that I should just leave them alone. But I didn’t know why I stay there and started to listen to their argument.

I don’t know why or what is their arguing about but I heard my name which made me more curious and pushes me to listen more.

“I have already done my part in this freaking marriage. I already gave birth to Mara, so I have already done my part. You already have an heiress!” My mom shouted.

“What are you talking about? Heiress? Then you should have made her a guy, I need an heir, not an heiress!” My dad shouted back.

While listening to them, I didn’t seem to notice my tears.

My mom smirked. “Really? Isn't it an advantage to you? You already arranged her marriage with Mr. Ottave's son. What was his name again? Maru?! Right! And after their marriage, your money, power, and influence will surely be the same with the Ottave.”

I was still young at that time, but my heart already felt the pain of rejection and being unwanted.

And now I am feeling the same pain again. Pain because of rejection and being unwanted.

What I only want in this lifetime is to live a simple and normal life, not power, money nor material things.

I just wanted to feel love and be loved because I felt like they deprived me of love.

Love from my parents...

And now, love from my husband.

But I think just like my parents, Maru’s love will be impossible for me to have.

My husband is in love with someone else. And he is only with me because of obligation.

I was so tired when I reached home. I just wanted to lay down and get some rest. I feel so drained.

When I enter the house I saw Maru waiting for me in the living room.

“Finally hon you are home!” He looks worried.

I felt nothing. I guess I'm back with the old Mara.

He hugs me but I didn't hug him back.

He caressed my face. “Hey, hon are you okay?”

I remained poker face. “I'm okay. I’m just tired. I’ll just go to the room and sleep.”

I was about to walk past him when he grabs my hand.

“I heard from my secretary that you were in the office.”

I look at him with no emotion. “Yes.”

“You heard us.” He said as if he was so sure of it.

“Yes.” I just said.

He faced me, I can see worries and fears in his eyes but I just set that aside. “Don't believe in dad.”

I just look at him showing no emotion.

“Hon please don't believe him.” He pleaded.

“I don't care.” I sounded so bored.

His eyes widen a bit of shock and confuse.

“Y-you don't c-care?” He asked again.

I smirk. “I think you’ve already forgotten that we just married for business. There is no love in us Maru. So if you want to continue your relationship with Jana, then go ahead. No one is stopping you and I don’t care.”

I didn’t know how I do that. Even I believe that I don’t care about it. Maybe I’m just exhausted from all of this that’s why I easily accepted the fact that I will never experience love, not in this lifetime.

Maru slowly releases his hand on mine. It's as if he is still absorbing what I just said.

“You mean that?” He asked.

I can see the pain in his eyes but I chose to ignore it.

I will not let myself be deceived again by him.

Today's revelation is a big slap on my face. I should stop dreaming and face the reality.

“Yes. So if you'll excuse me, I want to go to my room because I am so tired and I want to rest.”
