When Hank met Maya it was like his life finally felt complete. He was infatuated by her, and that infatuation turned into love. Feeling like she was his soulmate, he proposed to her and she said yes.
Their relationship seemed perfect. The two spent plenty of time preparing for their wedding, but when the big day finally arrived, Maya walked down the aisle and instead of embracing Hank she threw her bouquet at him and ran away from the church. He soon learned that her ex-boyfriend was waiting for her outside.
Left at the alter, he felt devastated and as though his world collapsed.
However, he never lost hope that love would find the way to his life and heart again, and he was right.
After some time, Hank met a new woman, Susan. The two fell in love and soon married.
Life felt perfect again. They got married and welcomed two beautiful children together.
Hank was very honest with Susan and told her everything about his past and how his ex left him on the day of their wedding. Susan did feel sorry for the pain he had gone through, but she was glad he didn’t marry Maya.
Years passed by, and Hank didn’t even think of Maya until one day Susan started calling his name asking him to come to the living room. Susan was watching a reality show when she heard the woman on TV, whose name was Maya, share a familiar story.
It was indeed Maya. She was part of some reality TV show where she spoke how she left her fiance at the altar and ran away with her ex. It could be seen from the way she spoke that she was proud of what she did. She didn’t feel even a tiny bit of remorse for her action.
“I can’t believe she’s still bragging about it,” Susan said, shaking her head. But Hank didn’t mind Maya’s words. He turned to Susan and said, “Let her have her moment of fame. We have something much better – a real, loving marriage.”
Maya broke Hank’s heart in the past, but that led to something beautiful, him meeting Susan and building the perfect life with her. His love for Susan was strong and genuine and she gave him everything Maya could never offer.
