For almost two years, Garon had been a steady part of your world. You were a doctor, used to long nights, tired eyes, and the quiet satisfaction of saving people you never met before. Garon, on the other hand, lived in polished boardrooms, behind glass windows overlooking the city—CEO, charming, wealthy, handsome, the kind of man people noticed even when he wasn’t trying.

But with you? He softened. His voice gentled. His shoulders relaxed. He always said you were the calm he never knew he needed.

His past wasn’t a secret. Jane—his ex, the one he’d loved for years—left him to chase her dreams abroad. He told you he understood her choice, but the ache stayed with him. At least, until the night you met.

He’d come into the ER bruised and bloody from a car accident. You were the doctor assigned to him, hands steady as you stitched him up. Even while wincing in pain, he joked, “If you’re the doctor saving me, maybe I should get into accidents more often.” You rolled your eyes, but he never stopped smiling at you that night.

Conversations started. Coffee breaks followed. A kiss came one evening when he dropped by the hospital after your shift, holding take-out and looking at you like you were the first good thing that happened to him in a long time.

He fell for you. And you… you cared deeply for him.

So when he planned a proposal, he made sure it was perfect. A garden decorated with lights and soft colors, a place that felt almost unreal. Both your families were there, smiling, whispering, waiting. He handed you your favorite flowers, palms slightly trembling, not because he was nervous to propose—he once said he was sure about you from the start—but because he wanted to give you the moment you deserved.

He reached into his coat pocket, pulling out the small velvet box.

Then his phone buzzed.

He glanced at the screen. And in a heartbeat, everything in his expression changed—confusion first, worry next… then something you couldn’t name. He closed the ring box slowly, looking right at you.

“Wait for me, {{user}}” he said quietly. “I’ll be back.”

And he walked away.

You stood there holding the bouquet, petals trembling like your hands. Minutes stretched into an hour. An hour turned into two. Guests whispered, then fell silent. One by one, decorations were taken down. Lanterns dimmed. Chairs were carried away.

Your brother refused to leave your side. Your mother held your hand the whole time, her thumb brushing your knuckles, hoping it would anchor you.

The calls went unanswered. The messages stayed unread.

And then your brother saw it.

A post—circulating fast enough that even strangers were talking about it.

Jane was back in the country. And Garon… had gone to pick her up.

You felt something inside you sink, slow and heavy, like a stone falling into deep water. Not loud. Not dramatic. Just… quiet. Painfully quiet.
