Present day. I packed my bag, turned off the computer, and sighed. It’s been a long day, but at least I am almost done finishing the PowerPoint.

“Last touch and I am good to go”, I mumbled while picked my flask, sipping the last drop of water on it. It become a habit of me to drink warm water since I studied in China, and since then, having a thermal flask is a must.

I turn off the office light, time in my watch showed 8.30, a little bit late to go back home but I used to it. I set the headphone into my head, closed the office door after I make sure that I have unplugged my laptop.

It’s a bit drizzly, the weather start to get colder and windy, luckily I am ready with this weather, I have my windproof jacket on, zipping it up once I get out from the elevator.

I listened to a podcast, wait for a the bus in the bus stop, to any bus that pass by the Queen Mary Hospital. Still drizling, not so heavy and it feels refreshing.

Bus number 4 passed, I run a little to catch it, hop on and just standing next to exit door.

“Not so crowded” I thought to myself, maybe it’s late already, and not so many people go back from work around this time.

“Oh, my duolinggo!” I rushed to turn off my podcast and change it to duolinggo, don’t want to lose that day streak.

It did not take me too long to finish all the lessons, just in time the bus finally stop in Queen Mary Hospital. I hop off, climbed up the stairs and crossed the fly bridge, the wind really feels refreshing. I change my podcast to music playlist, busting my ears with upbeat song to accompany me walk downhill to the apartment. Although it is drizzle, I don’t feel so wet and not even using umbrella at all. It’s been a while not having this feeling and I am so content with it.

Arrived at home, shook off all the water from the jacket and hung it, washed my face, and put on a little bit of moisturizer. I honestly feels so tired, so I turn off the light, ready for bed.

And here is the big mistake but very common, I take my phone and start scrolling. I hide my instagram app because I want to concentrate to finish my work and now the only entertaintment in the phone is the webtoon. So here is the mistake, I start reading one of fantasy novel, got trap in it, crying over it all night and then did not sleep a wink till 4 am. Sigh.

What is the story about?

It was so good. To put it in summary, it is the story about a couple, They used to love each other, (yes it is romance but not that type of romance). The girl is born filthy rich, while the guy has to work hard all his life to be in his current position. He fell in love with the girl in his difficult time, and he made her as his motivation to upgrade his life, with a lot of tears, pain, sacrifices, and emotions. The girl, born rich, does not know the hard-work life, also finally fall in love with him. It was good (and normal) love story in the beginning, until they get married and at one point, the guy totally changes. He changes his behaviour from being a caring, loving husband into a tyrant. He hated his wife, he hate that she is rich and don’t know the pain. He want her to feel the pain that he was under, he feels inferior with his wife. Short story, his wish become true, he succesfully break the spirit of his wife, he don’t want to divorce her, he want to keep her closer within his watch but the wife also don’t really understand the changes and still loves him, despite being tortured emotionally, until one day, she decided to kill herself. His husband get snapped and feel sorry (or maybe confused?) of her and finally divorced her. Wife finally go out and try to learn a normal life among common people, learn the difficult life and lear the meaning of life. In that poin, the husband want to get her back, he regret his action when he realized his old love to her but oo late, the wife don’t want to fo anything to him anymore.

Well, that was the summary, the story was so well written. It hooked me up right away.

Anyway, I wake up in the morning with puffy eyes. regret no regret.
