Today is my girlfriend's birthday, I as her girlfriend promised to come home early to celebrate her birthday after I was away on business for more than 2 months. I feel the gap between us is growing bigger and bigger because she is just a normal girl studying in college and I am a successful female CEO. My parents always forbade me and her from getting together, but I loved her so much that I didn't break up with her. On her birthday, I returned home and planned to go to her house to give her a birthday gift, and made a little surprise for her but my dad made me go to some stupid party. And from that party, it was announced that I was getting engaged to a young businessman I hadn't even met yet. This news quickly spread across the internet, I quickly left the party when it ended and ran to my girlfriend's house.

I walked inside and saw her sitting in the dark with a table of food that had cooled from waiting. She sat there lighting the candles on the cake herself while tears poured down her eyes. It was already past midnight, I couldn't delay any longer so I quickly approached her and said as I felt heartbroken for her

"Dear, sorry I'm home late. Are you okay?"
