No More Darkness, Only LightChapter 1
At the class reunion, Jack Brown who my girlfriend Anna Taylor liked in college was also there.
He was very attentive to my girlfriend and even wiped her mouth.
My classmates looked at me, thinking I would be angry.
But I just said calmly, "You two are a good match and should be together!"
——
When I was on annual leave, Anna wanted to go on a self-driving tour. And on the day of departure I found out that Jack was also with us.
Along the way, I drove and the two of them sat in the back talking and laughing.
When I woke up the next day, they had left on a plane.
After driving home alone, I was unable to suppress the anger in my heart and asked her why she had left me behind.
She said, "You make a fuss about it. I just had to do something on the spur of the moment, so I forgot to tell you."
Because of the incident, we had given each other the silent treatment for a long time.
Until the day before, Anna took the initiative to talk to me.
"I know you're definitely not angry anymore. To make it up to you, let's go fishing this weekend."
Over the years, because I loved her, Anna had been trampling on my feelings with impunity. Now she gave in, not because she really thought that she was wrong, but because after a while, her mother would have surgery, and the doctor in charge of the surgery was my old classmate.
Every time we quarreled before, I was always the one who gave in. Anna never felt that she was wrong. I cherished the relationship more than she did, and I was really afraid of losing her. So whenever we quarreled before, I would send gifts and make delicious food to seek forgiveness.
But it would often take many days before Anna would give me a smile.
Gradually, she seemed to be accustomed to my lowliness, so that every time, she waited for me to give in.
And I loved her by magic so much that I lost myself and my soul.
Now, I realized that I couldn't get love of her by giving in all the time, so I might as well let go.
In response to Anna's invitation, I just replied indifferently, "Ok." Then I went to take a shower.
I liked fishing. I invited her to go fishing with me many times before, but she always refused. While when Jack invited her to go fishing, she immediately prepared and dressed up carefully. And Jack deliberately talked about going fishing with Anna in our friends group. I was angry about it for a long time.
