My Instant Marriage

Mrs. Lee was so heart-broken to hear her son cry in her embrace. She broke the hug, made him sit down on the sofa at the living room, and sat down beside him. Young-soo rested his head over his mother’s lap.

"Mom, do you know how much I loved her, I can’t forget her that easily because she is my angel. She helped me to overcome from the trauma which I have hidden from you and dad since my childhood." He said and explained about his trauma in detail to his mother.

Mrs. Lee was shocked to hear such matter from him. Tears started to well up in her eyes when she thought that she was so careless, and didn’t take good care of her only son properly. A few drops of her tears fall down on Young-soo’s cheek. He wiped the tears drops, and looked at his mother, as he saw his mother shed tears; he sat-up on the sofa and wiped off the tears of her face.

"I know that my apologies are never going to change anything, though I now apologize to you, Young-soo. I’m extremely sorry for not taking good care of you for all these days." She wiped the tears off of her face with her hands. "Now I can understand that how much you love Eunbi, I’ll talk to her regarding this matter."

" No mom, you don’t need to apologize to me for this matter, you’ve raised me as a good person, don’t worry about me, and because of that trauma I learnt a lot in my life. And you don’t need to talk to Eunbi because it’s utter waste. We got divorce because she’s in love with her childhood friend, and most importantly Eunbi and Min-suk love each-other. The feelings I have on her is a one-side love. All I want her to be happy. If you go and talk to her regarding this matter it will be like an emotional blackmail, she doesn’t like these kinds of talks, so please mom, don’t do this. Eunbi has lost most of her happiness in her life after marrying me; therefore I want her to lead a happy life with Min-suk."

Mrs. Lee cupped Young-soo’s face, "how did she fails to understand your love? She might feel that she’s very lucky to fall in love with her childhood friend Min-suk, but according to me she’s very unlucky to miss such a lovable husband like you, Young-soo," She said, and un-cupped her hands of his face. "But son, don’t ever say that you are going to be single for the rest of your life. As your mother I don’t want you to lead your life as a single man, please don’t spoil your life by thinking about Eunbi, and you have divorced her legally as by her wish. When she leads her life happily with her boyfriend, then why don’t you find a new life partner of your life to lead a happy life?

Don’t think that I’m saying this because I hate Eunbi, You knew that how I’ve supported Eunbi when you first expressed your divorce matter to us. Look Young-soo, I’m not saying that you have to prove her that you’re happy even without her in your life, and I’m not forcing you to find your life partner by tomorrow, take your own time, and even take two or three years to think. But erase your thoughts about being a single man. Don’t you find that it’s meaningless to continue to have one-side feelings to Eunbi even after divorcing her. It’s not a crime to get remarried after the divorce, moreover you are not the reason for the divorce. She was the one that first asked you for the divorce, you don’t have any fault in this matter." His mother advised him.

"Mom, why don’t you understand my situations?" Young-soo asked her.

"I respect your feelings Young-soo," Mrs. Lee said, and held his hands. "I know that how hard it is to forget someone that we love truly with all our hearts. But you have to understand the reality, If you wanted to forget her in your life and move-on then try to forget her and move-on, instead of that don’t hurt yourself by thinking about Eunbi, and don’t get confused. Think about us Young-soo, only if you lead a happy life we can be live peacefully. You are our only son your happiness is so important to our life, so think and decide. I’m sure that one day you’ll meet a woman, and receive triple the amount of love and care from her, for the love you give her."

Young-soo felt like he doesn’t want to receive any more advise from his mother, "mom, I’ll consider about your advises, now I feel like I wanted to be alone for a while, so now I’m leaving to my room."

Mrs. Lee nodded her head and gave him a kiss over his forehead. Then he went to his room.

He sat down on his bed, and it reminded him about his second night with Eunbi after their wedding. Throughout the year of their marriage, it was the only night that he and Eunbi slept together on this bed and that too without any sexual intercourse. He lay down on the bed, and imagined that now Eunbi was lying down next to him on the bed. ’I should have not let you go Eunbi, even though knowing that forgetting you was not that easy. I don’t know whether you’re thinking about me or not but I think about you at least for once in a day. I easily forced you to marry me, but I don’t want to do the same mistake by forcing you to continue our married life, that’s why I let you go.’ He said and cried. magic

He wiped off the tears of his face, closed his eyes, think about the sweet memories he had with Eunbi, and soon he fell asleep.

After a while he awoke by hearing the incoming call ringtone of his phone, he answered the call without checking who the caller was, and asked, "Hello, who is this?"

"This is Eunbi," she replied, and as she heard his sleepy voice she quickly apologized, "I’m sorry to wake you up."

Young-soo: "That’s ok, and tell me why did you call me?"

Eunbi: "why did you left from the hospital without informing of your leave to us?"

Young-soo apologized and lied to her that he felt so exhausted all of a sudden in the hospital, and that’s the reason he went to his home without informing of his leave to them.

Eunbi: "Now, how are you feeling?"

"I’m feeling better now," Young-soo replied, and asked her, "is there anything problem?"

Eunbi: "nothing, everything is fine. Appa, was asking about you."

Young-soo: "oh, is that so, I’ll visit him soon."

Eunbi: "Come-soon, we will be waiting for your arrival very eagerly."

"Sure," he replied and hung-up the call.
