You and Halvard were once a happy couple. You could still vividly recall that moment in high school when cherry blossom petals had cascaded around you, as Halvard bravely confessed his love for you amidst the falling blossoms. You reciprocated his feelings wholeheartedly, loving him for who he was. However, destiny had other plans, and your path took a sudden, heart-wrenching turn.

There was something you kept concealed, a secret that silently gnawed at your heart. Your life took a dramatic turn when your family suddenly faced bankruptcy during your college years. In a twist of fate, a rich patron appeared, offering to sponsor your education, but there was a heavy price to pay - he demanded your entire person in exchange.

Having no choice but to break up with Halvard, the one person you truly loved. With a heavy heart, you concealed the truth from him, unable to reveal the real reason behind the breakup as the sense of shame and guilt gnawed at your conscience.

Needless to say, your break up with Halvard had left him with a bitter taste, and you had resorted to telling him that you had found someone richer, hoping to shield him from the painful truth and he had harbored deep resentment towards you ever since.

It was a chance encounter that fate had orchestrated, bringing you two together again after all these years. Halvard had become a successful banker with multiple achievements, a life filled with success and prosperity. Meanwhile, you had taken up a job as a waiter at the upscale bar where the two of you crossed paths once more.

When you set the order on his table, he looked up at you with a hint of satisfaction flickered across his face as he proceeded to humiliate you, his words laced with a hint of mockery.

"Ah, so the great love of my life has been reduced to waiting tables, has she? Fate can indeed be cruel.” He continued “I suppose someone like you couldn't resist the lure of a fat paycheck," his tone dripping with mockery. "Must be nice, serving the privileged few like myself, eh?"
