This was the first time I’d hung up first since
discovering Jason’s infidelity.
Before, I’d bombarded him with calls and
messages.
<
I used the vilest curses and the saddest pleas.
But each time, Jason would impatiently say:
“Can you not act like a lunatic? Calm down
before talking to me.”
Then he would ruthlessly end the call.
No matter how many times I called or texted,
he ignored me.
I wanted to, but the thought of our years of
relationship ending this way,
I couldn’t control myself.
I wanted to question Jason, why he betrayed
- me.
I also wanted to beg Jason to come back; I
would forgive him.
But complaining and waiting…
Jason remained the same.
And I gradually became anxious and insecure,
truly becoming, as he said,
a lunatic.
I lived in this self–inflicted torment for a long
time.
Lost in this relationship that tortured me.
Until three days ago.
I saw a street interview video from a vlogger
named “Time Capsule.”
His interview question was: “What would you
say to your five years younger self?”
Some said to study harder.
Some said to spend more time with family.
Some said their seven years older self was
great and successful, not letting themselves
down.
Among these answers,
I saw Jason and his girlfriend, Lily.
This convinced me it wasn’t scripted.
After all, given Jason’s current status, even
top–tier authors needed appointments to see
him.
And this vlogger, it was like a random
interview of passersby.
He interviewed Jason.
At first, Jason wasn’t thrilled with the
interview.
It was Lily beside him, who was excited and
interested.
“This is so fun, Jason, let’s do it!”
She shook his arm, acting cute.
Jason looked helpless but indulged her.
The vlogger briefly introduced himself and his
purpose, then asked the same question.
Lily fell into thought; Jason, seeing her
struggle,
answered for her.
“If I could, I wish five years ago Jason could
have met Lily first.”
While saying this, he held her close.
Though his voice was cool, it was not hard to
hear his care for the girl.
Lily in his arms looked at him in surprise, then
hear his care for the girl.
Lily in his arms looked at him in surprise, then
shyly covered her mouth.
“Me too.”
