"Love is whatever you can still betray. Betrayal can only happen if you love (LeCarre, John 1931)." It is bad enough when a stranger or foe betrays you, but when it is someone you believed to be a close and trusted friend, partner, or spouse, it is especially hurtful. It might feel like you were taken advantage of, deceived, humiliated, despised, cheated, or stabbed in the back. Oftentimes it comes as a surprise. That is why it is so painful. You would not expect to be hurt so badly from someone you thought you could trust. So you are left in disbelief and unbelievable pain.
While he got sent to war that day, he kissed her goodbye leaving her in her home by herself. She promised him when he gets back he and her can finally start a family and everything will be perfect. He left with no doubt that she will be faithful to him and wait until he comes back. He should have known that she wouldn't.
He came back unexpectedly that day, heard laughter from her with not even the slightest idea of what she was really doing. He went into their bedroom and found her in bed with one of his best friends. He didn't know what to do so he just walked away. He walked to a bar near his home and drank whiskey. He drank all his pain away, but still couldn't get her out of his mind. He kept drinking, spending his whole life trying to forget her little at a time. Until the night came that he drank until he died. We can say that there, he finally drank away her memory. He died in a motel he rented to spend the night, he was found the next morning with his head laid down on his pillow, with a note by his side that said: "I'll love her until I die." They had the funeral the next day, all his friends and family where there including her. Everyone spread rumors about her, but yet no one knew how much guilt and pain she had within herself. She too started to drink away his memory. No matter what other guys she had, she would always kick them out take out the whiskey and drink until she wasn't even conscious. She drank in her home, but she didn't seem to take away his memory. She drank her life away and was found in her bed the next day dead just like him. They buried her right by his side.
He loved her and she loved him, but her betrayal ruined it. "They put that bottle to their head and pulled the trigger"; was their quote. With this story you can see that betrayal affects people so much it even brings them to their death. With me, well let's just say that your teenage years are the hardest in your life and it is where you discovered who truly matters and who is really going to be there with you throughout it all. Having everyone liking you and being very popular in school is really not that important because eventually you discover that all those people you call "friends" are nothing but liars that abandon you. Yes, you yourself might make mistakes and not open your eyes to see out of the box. But when you start to realize something you didn't even see and ask for a second chance that is when they turn their backs on you. One minute your loved by the entire world and the next you just end up all alone. I have learned to put on a fake smile so no one can see the real pain inside me. I have also discovered that Karma really does exist and it's out there to get every single one of us.
