Let it be

But who am I to blame? As the saying goes, we can’t understand what a person feels unless we put ourselves in their shoes. Right now, I am not in a state to put myself in anybody's shoes.

It feels bad to meet all the villains of your life in one day. I mean, my ex Bose, now his sister who hated me, and who knows what else is next. Only God knows. I was prepared for one, but not for a 1+1 gift.

As I don’t want to meet eyes with Runju, I felt it was better to accept whatever her sister has to give me, whether it’s an apology or hate. But, in the gift, I did receive an apology letter with three words: "I'm sorry."

It didn’t seem good to file a complaint and take the morning bus, making me feel even more sorry for myself for disrupting my schedule and sleep, and then this apology.

I ended the conversation in three words: "Don’t repeat this."

That’s the best way to say it, as I am not okay with the apology, of course, but I just don’t want to dwell on the past and the Runju situation.

The whole time he was busy looking into my eyes, as if he could see right through me. But the last thing he said was, "I will ensure it will not happen again, sorry on her behalf."

I didn’t know what to say to him, as I remembered how selfish he was in the past with me, so I chose not to say anything and left for the coffee shop.

At the shop, I just realized how life turns from being a crybaby to taking a stand for ourselves. I remember once somebody created a fake profile of mine on a dating app just to take revenge. They put my number there and when I found out, I was so afraid and cried the whole night. I kept getting calls and texts, and I kept begging them to please report that account. It got deleted but then got registered on another dating app. That's when I realized that it's not that easy being a girl. My friend Anika helped in that situation by filing a complaint, but nothing happened. Soon, I found out it was Runjun who did it because I denied his proposal. He thought I rejected him to make fun of him. However, I was battling with my father and his abusive family, and work was the only way to escape all this. But you can't open up in front of others because some might see me as a story, or some might think I'm an attention seeker at work.

But that's how things ended between us. I have to leave the job and the lesson was whether you want to be a victim or not. It's in your hands. Allowing people to destroy you will lead you to being a victim, but taking a stand for yourself could make you a better human.
