Sarah walked out of her office building, taking a deep breath of the fresh air outside. It had been a long day, and she was ready to go home and relax. As she walked towards her car, she saw David approaching her. It had been two years since they last saw each other, but she could still recognize him from a distance. He looked older, but still as handsome as ever.
Sarah and David had divorced two years ago after being married for five years. Sarah had come from a poor family, and her parents had arranged her marriage to David, who came from a wealthy family. At first, Sarah was happy to have such a successful and wealthy husband, even though the marriage had been arranged.
However, over time, she realized that David was cold and distant towards her. They had separate rooms, and David rarely spent time with her outside of their social obligations. Sarah tried to reach out to him, texting and calling him about his office timings, but he never responded. He didn't even celebrate their anniversary or her birthday, but she would always give him gifts.
Feeling neglected and alone, Sarah would often sleep on the couch in the hall, waiting for David to come home. But he would ignore her, going straight to his room without a word.
Unbeknownst to Sarah, David's first love, Caroline, had been the one who had caused misunderstandings about Sarah to David and his family. Caroline was jealous of Sarah, and had spread rumors about her to David's family, saying that she was not a suitable match for David and that she was only interested in his money.
David's family, who had always been wary of Sarah because of her humble background, believed Caroline's lies and started to ignore Sarah. David, who was already emotionally distant, believed the rumors and started to pull away from Sarah as well.
Sarah was devastated when she found out about Caroline's lies. She couldn't understand why David and his family would believe such rumors. She tried to talk to David about it, but he refused to listen. He was convinced that Sarah was only interested in his money, just like Caroline had claimed.
After months of trying to make the marriage work, Sarah realized that it was a lost cause. She filed for divorce, and David didn't contest it. He didn't seem to care that their marriage was over.
It was only after the divorce that Sarah found out the truth about Caroline's lies. David's family had finally realized that they had been wrong about Sarah, and they apologized to her. But it was too late. The damage had already been done, and Sarah had moved on with her life.
Seeing David again brought back a flood of emotions for Sarah. She didn't know how to feel about him after all that had happened. She wondered if he had changed, or if he was still the same cold and distant man that she had married.
As David approached her, Sarah put on a brave face and greeted him. They exchanged pleasantries, and David asked her how she was doing. Sarah didn't want to get into the details of her life, so she simply said that she was doing well.
David seemed genuinely interested in catching up with her, but Sarah didn't want to dwell on the past. She wished him well and got into her car, driving away from him and towards her future.
