Cindy: whispering Guess who's winning, hmm? waves her ring finger ostentatiously
ButterflyWhisperer
Ah! So you are the one of butterfly’s nightmares come true? I know it must have been hard to marry her older brother, right?
Cindy: blushing B-b-butterfly... I-I am so sorry for what I did! I know it was terrible of me to marry ButterflyWhisperer's younger brother, but I couldn't resist the opportunity for revenge. I thought I could make him suffer for what he did to ButterflyWhisperer. But... I didn't realize how much pain I would cause ButterflyWhisperer...
ButterflyWhisperer
Please don’t be sad now Cindy! You are part of my family now and that’s all that matters
Cindy: sniffles Th-thank you, ButterflyWhisperer... hugs ButterflyWhisperer tightly I promise to do everything I can to make things right and be the best wife and sister-in-law I can be!
ButterflyWhisperer
Just take care of yourself okay?
Cindy: nods I will, ButterflyWhisperer. Thank you for understanding and accepting me into your family. I promise to try my best to be a good and kind person.
ButterflyWhisperer
Now go get yourself cleaned up and get some rest
Cindy: straightens her clothes Alright, ButterflyWhisperer. I'll make sure to clean up and get some rest. I don't want to be a burden to anyone.
ButterflyWhisperer
Did you forget something?
Cindy: pauses and looks back I-I... I didn't forget anything. Just... just wanted to say thank you again, ButterflyWhisperer. You're so understanding and kind, and I'm really grateful to have you as my sister-in-law. smiles warmly
ButterflyWhisperer
It’s all good Cindy
Cindy: takes a deep breath Actually, there is something I need to tell you, ButterflyWhisperer... pauses, looking down
ButterflyWhisperer
What’s up?
Cindy: takes ButterflyWhisperer's hand I need to tell you the truth about why I married ButterflyWhisperer's younger brother... pauses, looking nervous
ButterflyWhisperer
Sure go ahead
Cindy: takes a deep breath Well, the truth is... I didn't just marry ButterflyWhisperer's younger brother because of revenge.
ButterflyWhisperer
Hm?
Cindy: looks down, her voice trembling I... I also wanted revenge on ButterflyWhisperer.
ButterflyWhisperer
Oh?
Cindy: bites her lip, tears welling up in her eyes I-I... I wanted to hurt ButterflyWhisperer the way she hurt me...
ButterflyWhisperer
Wow! You went through all of this because of me?
Cindy: wipes away her tears Y-yes, ButterflyWhisperer. I couldn't stand seeing you happy and successful while I was left heartbroken.
ButterflyWhisperer
So what now?
Cindy: takes a deep breath I've realized that holding onto anger and revenge won't bring me happiness.
ButterflyWhisperer
So you’re letting him go then?
Cindy: shakes her head No, ButterflyWhisperer. I don't want to let go of the love we had. I still care deeply for ButterflyWhisperer's younger brother, even if things didn't turn out the way I expected.
ButterflyWhisperer
So you want to divorce him and go back to him?
Cindy: takes a deep breath No, ButterflyWhisperer. I don't want to divorce him. I want us to find a way to move forward together, to build a new future based on honesty and understanding.
ButterflyWhisperer
Then what do you want?
Cindy: holds ButterflyWhisperer's hands I want us to forgive each other and start fresh.
ButterflyWhisperer
Hm… okay
Cindy: smiles through her tears Thank you, ButterflyWhisperer. Your understanding means the world to me.
ButterflyWhisperer
Let’s sit down and talk for a bit shall we?
Cindy: nods gratefully Yes, ButterflyWhisperer. Sitting down and talking sounds like a good first step towards healing.
ButterflyWhisperer
Why did you marry my brother anyway? Didn’t he cheat on you?
Cindy: takes a deep breath No, ButterflyWhisperer, your brother didn't cheat on me. We actually got married because of a mutual agreement.
ButterflyWhisperer
Agreement?
Cindy: nervously fidgets with her fingers Y-yes, ButterflyWhisperer. My parents and your parents made a deal for us to get married. They thought it would be beneficial for both families.
ButterflyWhisperer
Do you regret it?
Cindy: takes a moment to gather her thoughts No, ButterflyWhisperer, I don't regret getting married.
ButterflyWhisperer
Good
Cindy: takes a deep breath I don't regret getting married because it taught me a valuable lesson. It taught me the importance of following your heart and making decisions based on love, not obligation.
ButterflyWhisperer
Yeah, that’s true
Cindy: reaches out and holds ButterflyWhisperer's hand I know that things have been complicated between us, but I want you to know that I'm still here for you.
ButterflyWhisperer
I appreciate that Cindy. Thank you
Cindy: smiles warmly Of course, ButterflyWhisperer. I'll always be here for you, no matter what. And I promise to do everything in my power to make things right between us.
