You and I have a love so secret that not even you know about it – Jarod Kintz, Love quotes for the ages. Specifically ages 18-81.
Oh how I wish that is how my case and my so-called “crush”. Then I can be spared of the embarrassment.
But that’s so not it. All the hints dropping and flirting was actually obvious that his parents and sister know about it. His mother even jokes about him flirting me, and don’t even get me started on the reaction of his sister. Of course, my friends knew all about it. I can’t stop talking about him then, and thank you God for blessing me with such best friends that put up with my nonsense crush. It was clear that we had feelings for each other. We both responded to each other.
But then suddenly he goes and proposed other girl. It was so confusing and heartbreaking when I heard about his engagement. Later that week, his sister came to see me with hugs and kisses, and starting to talk to me like normal, as if her brother wasn't engaged to be married.
After talking to my friends and upon self-reflect, I realized we just flirted with each other. It was harmless, and maybe it was my fault for taking it the wrong way. It's not as if we were exclusive or anything like that. He's just being nice. Maybe.
Today, his sister came to see me again. She handed me his wedding invitation. It’s going to be a September wedding. Unfortunately, my pride got the best of me so as I chuckled nervously, I told her that I may not be able to attend the wedding because I have a two-day conference, all the while gathering my strength, trying to hide my height of anger and frustration. She responded by saying “Oh really? Too bad… Hey you know what, what about dinner with me and my friends tomorrow?”
I should have refused politely. I should not have asked why. She wants me to help out with the wedding, specifically with photo booth props and design a personalised wedding favours. I just took a frontal snapping punch strike, full-life combo kick and died.
