I was born into an unhappy family. My parents argued all the time, even fought, and then decided to divorce. I lived with my mother, and my sister lived with my father. Living far away from each other and rarely seeing each other, there was almost no affection between the two sisters or between the paternal family.
My maternal family was poor, my mother had to work hard to raise me alone. She was always busy day and night, and had no time to care for me. I grew up like that, always lacking both materially and emotionally.
Luckily, my life has Huong, my neighbor near my grandmother's house. Huong goes to school with me every day. From the age of 10 until now, whenever I am happy or sad, Huong is always by my side.
To be honest, I am closer to him and love him more than any of my family members. I often joke: "I can live without anyone, but I can't live without you." For the past 17 years, we have been best friends, always accompanying each other in life.
I never expected that one day, I would suffer so much because of the people I love and trust the most (Illustration: Sina).
I have been through a few relationships but they all ended up in vain. Among them, Tung is the ex-boyfriend that I can hardly forget. We loved each other for more than 3 years, and broke up 2 years ago. His family strongly opposed this relationship because they said that I was not "well-matched", my family was poor and quite complicated. Tung's family, on the other hand, was powerful and wealthy.
Unable to bear the pressure, even though we still had a lot of feelings, we decided to break up. After that, I couldn't really open up to anyone, often feeling guilty and "blaming my fate".
During the painful process of breaking up with Tung, Huong was always there to encourage and comfort me. However, now, my best friend has "betrayed" me, causing me to collapse, no longer daring to believe in any good things in this life.
Two weeks ago, unlike her usual cheerful and natural demeanor, Huong suddenly asked me to meet her to... have a serious talk. She confessed that she was in love with Tung. Just hearing that made my ears ring, I felt really dizzy. At first, I thought Huong was joking, but then I realized, this was no joke.
Huong cried and explained that more than a year ago, Tung moved to work at his company. They even shared a room and worked on many projects together. The reason Huong didn't tell me this from the beginning was because she saw that it took me a long time to get over my ex, so she didn't want to mention him to me anymore.
"Fire near straw will eventually catch fire", Huong and Tung fell in love without realizing it. They struggled a lot mentally, but in the end still chose to be together and hid this love from me. Currently, Huong revealed that because... they plan to get married next May.
I was shocked to hear this. I couldn't accept this truth. One side was my ex-lover, we broke up while still having feelings for each other. The other side was my best friend, who understood me the most, we had been friends for 17 years. How could they treat me like this?
I was angry at Tung once, then I was angry at Huong ten times. Huong knew very well how much I loved Tung, how painful the breakup was, how guilty I felt about my family. Even now, I still can't forget Tung, yet Huong had the heart to love my ex again.
Every day we were inseparable, telling each other everything. I never hid anything from Huong, but it seemed like he didn't. Huong and Tung worked together, loved each other for almost a year, and I didn't know or suspect anything. He was really good at acting, too fake for me.
Over the past few months, they loved each other and saw that I was still single, talking about this and that every day. They must have seen me as a joke, ridiculous. It was true that their families were "well-matched", suitable for each other. They came together when they were both single. In theory, it was not wrong, but in terms of love, was it acceptable? So in the end, what was I in their lives, meaningless at all?
Huong even knelt down and begged me for forgiveness. He knew he was wrong but he loved me too much and couldn't give up. The two families also met. Huong said that Tung and I couldn't be together anyway, so she hoped I would bless him.
For the past two weeks, I have cut off all contact. Tung and Huong have been calling, texting, and meeting me to apologize and explain everything. What more could they need to explain at this point? I cannot forgive, I will never forgive the person I once loved and the person I valued more than my own flesh and blood.
I even wanted to make a big deal out of this so that the whole world would know about their affair. I really wanted to ruin this wedding. I couldn't be the only one suffering while they lied and trampled on me to be happy.
