Jennifer's POV
It was Aiden's birthday and I had prepared a chocolate cake specially for him after hours of hardwork and had booked a private moonlight dinner on the beach. All the preparations were almost over. Mom had helped me with the decorations and contacted the respective people and entrusted the job of proper functioning of the program.
My mom and dad knew that I was dating Aiden for the last two years. At first my mom opposed because she thought Aiden was not a suitable guy for me while dad was acting all possessive. But at the end they agreed to it. Now my mom had started to accept our relationship because of me and so today she was helping me for 'my happiness' or this is what she says.
I was standing inside my walk in closet confused between two dresses, one was a black backless gown and other was a navy blue skater dress. I called out Amber and she insisted on the blue one. So I took a quick shower, put on the dress, sat down in front of the dresser doing my makeup.
I applied dark red lipstick and mascara, followed with thick eyeliner giving the eyes a smoked look. I wore the bracelet Aiden had gifted me on our anniversary and blue earings. Amber curled my hair into loose waves completing the look. As I stood in front of the mirror gazing at a beautiful girl in front of me, Amber interrupted, "Someone is going to fall in love all over again, huh? " raising her eyebrows. I blushed and quickly took my handbag and went downstairs. Mom hugged me while dad kept repeating, "It seems my daughter has grown up! "
I laughed and walked out of the house and was escorted by my driver. I was very excited to surprise Aiden. How happy he would be.
I reached within fifteen minutes. I decided not to ring the bell because surprises are supposed to surprise you. He had given me a spare key which I had carried along. I opened the door and crept inside without making any noise. Damn am so good at this!
There was no one in the living room so I went upstairs to the bedroom ,I heard faint noises of laughing but I ignored them and opened the door and "Happy Birthday Ai....Veronica?"
They both were kissing each other and as soon as I interrupted them, Aiden pushed her behind. Veronica quickly ran out of the room while I stood still at the door staring at Aiden in disbelief, he came near me trying to explain and held my hands.
I jerked away, "Don't...don't touch me, it is disgusting "
"Jennifer I was going to tell you th..."
"Going to tell me, when Aiden? After you had kids? "
"Listen Jennifer I had loved you but now I love Veronica it's just that..."
"Oh just shut the fuck up. You want to break up right? so fine from today don't show this ugly face of yours to me and remember not to cross my path again, or I will destroy you!! Anyways you don't deserve me cause a....just forget,the negotiation is over from my side, you were not worth it! "
With this I threw the cake box right in his face and stomped out of the house. It was pinching my heart. I had always been faithful to him and he?
I don't know when this all started. We had been a perfect loving couple until last month. I had been observing him for the past few weeks, he had changed a lot. He looked distracted but I just shrugged off the thought thinking I was just hallucinating but today my suspicion proved true.
I wanted to cry out loud but I couldn't. Something stopped me from doing that. My anger did. A few tears and then it stopped followed by nauseous feeling. I kept telling that I am much stronger and I won't cry on such a worthless guy but in no vain.
As I came out of the house I searched for my car. There stood my Mercedes Benz parked across the street. I quickly walked towards it and without waiting for the driver, opened the door and sat inside.
The car was filled with a good fragrance and 'Too good at goodbyes ' by Sam Smith was playing on the stereo. I was feeling nauseous as I remembered everything that had taken place. I couldn't believe for a moment that he could cheat on me.
But again somewhere I was feeling better that I was able to clear up this mess and broke up. At least from today I won't be living with a false hope of our relationship. I felt very fake. Anger was radiating off me. Now I think I could have atleast broken his nose.
Suddenly I was brought back from the thoughts by my driver.
I got off the car and walked straight into my room ignoring my mom's questions controlling my tears. I slammed the door and threw my phone on the bed and climbed on top of it. I cuddled up in the corner with tears streaming down my face. I could hear my mom but couldn't get up to open the door.
But after all she was my mom who wouldn't give up so easily. She opened the door with the spare key and as soon as she saw my state she came running towards me followed by dad.
She hugged me trying to console me and I realized that this was what I needed. I needed a support. After a while when I was a bit better I told them about everything that had happened trying to read their expressions.
She listened to me calmly and then said, " Many such people will come and go only a few will cling on to you. He was someone meant to leave. You don't have to waste your time and tears on him because you deserve something much better. You know your worth don't you? And I won't give you false hope that it won't hurt much or everything will be alright but if you learn to live with it, accept it , things will become much easier. And as much as I remember my daughter is very strong and such things won't shake her. Dad and I will always love you and be by your side. And I am always there for you. I will cancel the arrangements don't worry about it. Love you! "
She hugged me, kissed my forehead affectionately and stood up. But before she left she turned back towards me and said "Don't forget dear that everything happens for a reason and after all it rains the hardest on those who deserve the sun. Be strong. " and she left the room.
Dad still stood on his place looking very angry. He came and sat on the bed,"I will make sure that he regrets what he did! How dare he!"
It was ironical that I was the one trying to convince my dad not to take any action in haste. He promised me that he won't do anything wrong and asked me to distract my mind from that topic as soon as possible for my own good because he knew that even if I looked strong, dangerous and badass on the outside, I was vulnerable inside.
With this he left the room. I thought about what they had said. I realized that I was really stupid to even cry over him. It is better than leaving with the false hope of our faithful relation. Her last lines kept replaying in my head..Don't forget dear that everything happens for a reason and after all it rains the hardest on those who deserve the sun. I wanted to move on. No! I needed to move on. I decided to act normal from tomorrow and do my best because if my friends came to know then they would surely kill him.
Amber had been out partying so she didn't know what had happened and Mom and dad had promised they won't tell her. I was in no mood to eat so I asked one of the servants to take back the food plate. I washed my face, changed into shorts and tank and sat down when Amber entered the room. She was not that drunk...Maybe one drink.
"How are you home so early, I thought I won't see you till tomorrow morning? How was it? "
"It went well! " The scene replayed in my mind and so I shook my head.
I turned to Amber who was tying her hair. "Good night Amber am sleepy. "
"Of course why won't you be sleepy after such a long day "
"Ya It was really a long and eventful day! " I chuckled sadly and laid down. I don't know when I fell asleep with just one thought in my mind,"Will I be able to forget him?"
