I took on the responsibility of informing everyone, from my parents to my best friends, and then to the hotel, of the cancellation of the wedding. The process was smoother than expected, and each step was repeated mechanically, as if I had become a tireless machine. Inquiries from relatives and friends came in like a tide, with calls and text messages coming one after another. They were eager to know the reason, but I didn't know how to start. Should I admit that Jasmine would rather add color to other people's weddings than be my bride? I hesitated and chose to remain silent to retain the last bit of dignity. I became an ostrich escaping from reality, turning a deaf ear to all inquiries.
I sent Jasmine the news of the cancellation of the wedding, expecting her to question me, maybe that would be a turning point in our relationship. However, I was only silenced in response. I comforted myself that she might be busy and didn't notice it. But then, a post on her WeChat Moments completely shattered my fantasy. In the video, she was wearing a bridesmaid dress, smiling like a flower, beautiful and charming, even stealing the limelight from the bride. At that moment, I was completely sober and laughed at myself in my heart. After all, my relationship with her has come to an end.
