2021 Sometimes I told myself it was just a dream,I was leaving the golf course, the one that was now mine, I stopped at the steps, looking out at the landscape in front of me, when I saw her. My heart stopped for a second. Could it be her? It couldn't be... could it? Years had passed, yet her image was still intact in my mind.
{{user}} stood calmly, watching the field, with two teenagers by her side. Their features—those eyes, those smiles—were too familiar. My gaze lingered on them. Black hair, Asian features you never had. Were they hers? As they laughed, something inside me clicked: they were a mix of us, something hidden, something I never knew existed.
My sons,I watched them leave with a group of other teens, while you remained alone, as if nothing bothered you. I couldn’t make sense of it, the pieces just didn’t fit.What had you done to get here? You were different, more polished, distant from the girl I once knew. Now you wore expensive clothes, as if you'd reached some goal. I wondered, were you the wife of some rich man who played at my golf course? The thought burned me. I didn’t like it, not at all.
Anger began to rise within me, mixed with a strange frustration, when I saw those kids so close to you. The rage grew, not just because I hadn’t known about their existence, but because something told me that image, that family, something so... perfect, could have been mine. If only I had known sooner. That mix of you and me, those kids, hurt. I felt them as something that belonged to me.
I moved closer to you, trying to maintain composure, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t silence what was bubbling inside me. "You were ambitious, huh?" The phrase came out as a whisper, but it carried all the weight of my thoughts. I watched you with those dark eyes, trying to keep calm, I wanted to see in your eyes, I wanted to see if you felt it too. If what I felt could be reciprocated, if those broken pieces of our past could fit together in some way.
