Both of them shared the same pain of heartbreak.They both watched their ex-bride and bridegroom.They were in too much shock, they thought 'how could this happen!'.
Erika is watching the ex-bride in front of her who is holding his wife's hand gently but securely.She was amused by Mark's gentleness with Lidia which she had never got. Yes gentleness the warmth towards ones beloved.
Though she follows never cross limits between male and female until marriage and was never interested in love only firmly believed in love after marriage. But once she realised that she unknowingly taken a liking to him she accepted the idea of dating to know about him, to like him, to love him and to fall for him.
Thus once when both their parents suggested an dating she looked forward happily for her soon to be hubby,she expected him to be gentle, lovable and caring but what happened is its opposite. They went to a couple park when all were strolling hand in hand and enjoying the time she was asked to walk at a gap of 1m distance from him. Once she came across a couple on hand in hand so she initiated holding him,but he holded her roughly which left bruise and redness once he left it. He told her that he never like to hold strangers.At that moment though his words stunned and pricked her she thought it as a first encounter between him and her so maybe he regarded her as a stranger and she never initiated a hold again.
But now watching thier hands in hold she understood why she is a stranger and why she was bruised.Now she was completely broken within with her expectations shattered with the disappearance of her married life along with self blame by the realisation that all along she was the one with such one sided feel and he never considered her as his soon to be wife or love as he was already in love with another.
She laughed at herself self depricatingly,'See this is what you got for your important day a broken marriage'.She clenched her fists and controlled the tears which threatened to come out. 'Crying for such a person is useless and anyway you lost it, maybe our bad luck acted today. How could he do this to me we are engaged for two months. God just I am really unlucky,anyway I am a bad girl myself' she blamed herself.
On the side Jon is stunned to see his soon to be proposed wife in another man's hand. He is angry over himself for not realising that she has another in her heart.
It is the first time for Jon to fall in love with someone as he always guards his mind perfectly, this time he slipped to fall in love just because they are engaged. He thought engaging as an commitment for marriage he never expected it to be broken like this.
Because for him commitment in the name of marriage is an never to break oath. Even when he is not interested in marriage he understood the value of commitment to hold another person, to be there for them.
Jon believed it sincerely and committed himself to his soon to be wife Lidia which resulted into love in an unknown time.
Jon and Lidia were engaged for about two months,the two months gap is due to his business issues.Though a well known businessman he too have issues he was busy completing a billion dollar worth project.But still he allocated time for his soon to be love, they will meet all Saturday for lunch dating dinner..,he didn't even gave time for him to meet his parents but he met Lidia all week throughout two months as he believed that she's is going to be his wife,she is going to completely depend on him and him alone.As after marriage bride moves to her husband's home he wished that she must not feel alone so he accompanied her every week Saturday which he wished to continue after marriage.
He want to cultivate his feelings with her as she is the one he is going to share his lifetime with.
He respected her,cared for her and he has done everything to maintain a good life with her and is even ready to love her.He never once suspected her to have a boyfriend. As whenever she is with him she looked honest polite gentle and caring. Perhaps he is the one who misunderstands it to be love as in love one may show their true nature to their otherhalf not a outward personality.
He is too shocked to see their interlocked hands and closeness as whenever he met her she never allows him to hold her hands or be close. Once he asked her reason to note it further on future at that time she said "Because I hate public display of affection " and now he knows why she hated it.
He is scolding himself for being foolish for not noticing her difference in treatment. Once when he went to date she met her friend but on introducing she introduced him as someone she knows not as her fiancee he thought maybe she is shy but now he knows the reason. Whenver he is with him she never smiled from her eyes he thought she was being simple and shy but now watching her smile towards her husband he understood.
His heart is going deep into a dark abyss seeing the twist of situations.
He hates himself for being stupid and lovelorn,'I respected her and cared for her and even planned my future with her but what I got is this,really God very nice I have been made a fool'.
He is nearly in the verge of exploding his anger.
Jon's bussiness partners were eyeing him and his reactions som even concluded 'tommorrow the newspaper headlines would be,the famous bussinessman got abandoned at the day of his wedding'.
Erika is keenly staring on her ex soon to be hubby, in the two months of engagement he never respected her or cared for her,he won't even glance at her but she thought soon it would be alright, but things got more awkward later. Once she requested him for a date out of shyness but he rejected her coldly still she thought it would be fine later. Then once he bought lunch for him to the office he made her stand as a door watcher for the whole day again she consoled everything as fine like this embarrassment followed and she didn't know when she started to like him amidst this cold treatment maybe the word husband itself made her fall for him, She was not sure when.With this she reminded herself that no matter how cold he was once after marriage he will be fine.
But she never expected a result as today,not only her love is gone but this embarrassment, the pity look of others towards her and her family made her feel pricked by numerous thorns.
Though sad and feeling tearful she is mad at herself for not understanding his rejection if she had known she will never be here and her parents won't feel ashamed and hurt. But what is done is done no one can change all this.With all this in mind she decided never to fall in love again and never to marry.
With such a fierce determination she thrown her broken heart to the back of her mind and moved towards her parents to get away from this place and to convince them to never ever discuss marriage.
At the same Jon too decided the same to never ever fall in love or get married. He looked towards his parents to take them away from this heartwrenching place.
Erika and Jon never once cared to look towards their broken ex's as they decided to move on.
...
Humans always think what they decide is final but the decision of God is always more interesting.
Two broken hearts deceived themselves to be unmended but one who destroys know how to mend it to their original state.
