I pushed his hand away and replied seriously, “Love needs no confirmation–only uncertain love needs constant confirmation.”
Yohan continued to beg me to stay. “Tomorrow is my birthday, Naomi. You used to bake me a birthday cake in the past.”
I retorted, “Did you even realize my birthday was last Sunday, Yohan?”
Yohan pursed his lips slightly in contemplation, looking fully remorseful.
“So the one you loved the most is actually yourself,” I said.
Yohan said, “I’m sorry. I’ll make it up to you with the grandest birthday party.”
I shook my head–this wasn’t about the birthday anymore. “No need, Yohan. You still can’t understand–it’s gone once you let it
pass.
I’ve already made an appointment. Let’s go collect our divorce certificate at the courthouse tomorrow.
“I finally learned to love myself after leaving you. So please, don’t come and disturb my life anymore.”
I turned and ran toward Samuel. He had been waiting for me in the cold for a long time. I wouldn’t let him wait any longer now.
The moment Yohan truly realized that he had lost Naomi was the moment they collected their divorce certificate.
He had been confident all these while–even on the day they signed the divorce agreement. He believed that they would return to how they were before once she recovered her memories.
ohan never expected that Naomi had never lost her memories.
