(Fictional)The Affair with a Married Man

Photo credit

One of the most extraordinary Korean dramas I watched about having love affairs with married people is "The World of the Married." It tells about a woman, who struggled a lot when she found out that her husband had an affair with a young lady. Not only that made her life miserable, but that's also when she knew that the people whom she considered friends betrayed her because they knew the affair of her husband and yet no one told her about it. That's why I grew up hating all those uncontented people. Why would they ever get married if they're still planning to find someone in the future?

I was raised by a single mom who's now living with her new husband. It's not a problem for me since Tito Aga is so good to me. He treated me like his own daughter. As for my real father, he died a long time ago due to a car accident. I was very young then, that I was not able to see my dad. I saw his pictures when I was young, but when mom gets married, we left all the things that remind us of dad in our old house and moved to Tito Aga's place.

I worked as a real estate agent. Even so, I still live with my parents.

I received a call from the office that someone is interested in the flats we are selling. So I hurriedly prepared myself. As a presenter, I should look clean and inviting to the customers. I chose to wear a fitted skirt topped with a pale pink cardigan. There, I saw an epitome of beauty that I truly love, myself.

I saw my mom and dad in the living room watching the news. I smiled as I walked them by. I hope I could find the love they have for each other.

I rode into my Audi and drove to my destination.

I went early from the expected time of the meeting. I composed myself, I felt a little bit nervous for no reason today. I am not supposed to feel this because I'm already a pro in this field in my five years of service.

From the second floor, where I'm standing, I saw a Bugatti Divo parked near my car.

From the way I see it, I could tell this customer is big time. I was not able to actually help but just had to grin from the ear to ear.

"I want to believe that you are Mr. Rhodes? I am Katrina Velozo, and I will guide you to your new home."

I held my hand to Mr. Rhodes and lead the way to the flat.

He's in his early 40's tall and a good-looking man. He roamed around the room and I did all my best I could to sales talk him so he would buy the flat.

"What do you think of this, Ms. Velozo?"

His voice is deep that I can't seem to react.

"This is perfect. Anybody that could live here will feel the contentment and satisfaction in life."

"Are you going to move in with your wife here, sir?"

I was facing his nicely built shoulders then he looked at me when I asked him.

I actually do not have any individual that will ne able to move in with me..except if you really want.

I know it's just a mere joke but why does it sound different to me? I was left dumbfounded by that note.

In the end, the deal was good and I got my commission to it. I remembered the spare key of the house that he gave me earlier. What was it supposed to say?

I thought that was the last time that I will see him. He comes to my workplace one day to get them the contract and he invited me for lunch. I was so drawn to him that I spent the whole day with him. We spent, bar hopping, going from one place to another, and our last stop in his flat. There I made love to the person I'm least expected to fall for. We have 16 years of an age gap. But it doesn't matter, what I feel for him is genuine.

I kept my relationship with him from my parents. We secretly see each other. It's been five months since I met him. I'm having the time of my life when I'm with him. he gives me everything. Even if I'm not asking.

"Love, I want you to meet my parents."

He did not make a sound but instead, he hugged me tightly. I pulled the blanket that covers my body and faces him.

"Please?"

I looked straight into his eyes, and when he met my gaze, he kissed me passionately. "Sure my love"

The next day, I prepared everything in the house. I even talked about it to my parents. They are excited to meet him too. I understand why Edward is hesitating to meet my family it's because of our age gap. I am not ashamed of being in a relationship with a man much older than me. I'm excited, overwhelmed, and nervous...

He's supposed to be here at 6 pm for our dinner but he's not yet here. I tried calling him but I can't reach his call. I'm getting annoyed thinking that Eduard is going to stood me up. I've sent messages already but I got no replies.

I decided to go to his flat. But no one is home. I saw an invitation card in the drawer near the bed. I went immediately to the party. To my surprise, it was not any kind of party. It's a party of multi-millionaires.

I feel pity for myself. Why did he not bring me? Why did he stood me and my family?

We're not on the same level but I somehow know my worth.

I was about to leave when I saw a familiar face going out of the main door. I saw him with a wide grin on his face. He looked so expensive and elegant. He's perfect in my eyes except for the woman clinging in his arms.

I stand close enough for him to see. And there he met my teary eyes. I read his lips as he said something to the woman beside him, "Wait a minute Hon, I need to give tip to the staff.

My heart is tampered with, beaten, and torn into pieces. He grabbed me by the wrist, he did not even notice the tears that are slowly escaping from my eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

"Who is she?"

Hey look at me kat, can we actually have a conversation about this topic when we really get home.. you can just simply wait for me when we get there....

"No. Just give me an Answer"

"She... She is actually my woman. I am really sorry"

Then he decided to leave ..

I was really so surprised.. I was really shocked and i could not even be able to move my body. He definitely lied to me...i had so much tears running down from my eyes..

Are you gonna condemn a woman who became a mistress without her knowing? Are you gonna hit me with a stone for bearing the child of the mistake I did not know?

Who would've thought I'd became a mistress myself?

Who's going to save someone who is condemned for the mistake she did not know?

If I only knew love is hurtful like this, I should have not given love a chance to myself. They said love is for everyone, but I guess it's not for me.....
