Will you come when I get married?
It was the year Jason was broke as a joke. I
dumped him and took off for Europe to study.
Years later, he’s a huge movie star, and rumors
are swirling about him getting married. In an
interview, Jason, looking at no one in particular,
says, “If I get married, will you come?” That
night, he was trending all over social media.

The day Jason won Best Actor, a reporter
asked him about his future plans. Jason smiled,
“Marriage.” The other celebrities present
practically choked on their champagne. The
reporter stammered, “Getting married at the
peak of your career, won’t you regret it?” Jason
simply shook his head. Then, looking straight
into the camera, he asked, “If I get married, will
you come?”
The interview went viral. #JasonToWed

#WillYouComeToTheWedding. His fans went nuts. [@JasonAreYouCrazy chasing you for three years and you’re a hopeless romantic?!] [@OMG who is she?! Making Jason announce marriage at his peak, he must be head over heels!] [@We slaved over your fan accounts and
you’re just gonna get married? How could you do this to us?!]
When I saw the trending topics, I knew he was talking to me. Years ago, when we broke up, I’d jokingly asked him, “If you ever get married, will you invite me?” He said yes. I just didn’t realize it would be five years later, with him a
successful actor.
My high school group chat, usually dormant, exploded with the news. [@Jason’s getting married? To who?!] [@No clue, but it sure ain’t gonna be Lynn.] [@Remember when someone
dumped him because he was broke? Now he’s raking in millions, I wonder if she regrets it.] I scrolled through the messages, a wave of

nostalgia washing over me. A friend had asked
me the same thing when Jason’s career first
took off. “Jason’s got a ton of fangirls now, two
years later, I’m still curious, do you regret it?”
I’d laughed it off. “No regrets. His future was
more important than our relationship.”

Mom picked me up from the airport. The arrival.
hall was packed with fans holding signs with
Jason’s name. Watching the crowd through the
VIP exit, Mom asked, “Did you hear Jason’s
getting married?” I nodded. She sighed, “Don’t
blame me, honey. I was just looking out for you.
son was real
struggling back then.” I smiled.
“Mom, I went to Europe because I wanted to.
I’ve never blamed you.”
Suddenly, the fans outside started screaming.
“Jason!!!” I turned and locked eyes with a pair
of deep, familiar eyes. Even with a mask on,
even after five years, I recognized him instantly.
He held my gaze for a beat before striding past.

“Thanks for coming, everyone. Looks like rain,
so head home safe.” He accepted letters and
signed autographs. “Jason! Is it true about you
getting married?” a fan shouted. I heard him
reply, “It’s true.” The fans shrieked. “Who is
she? Do we know her?” Jason chuckled, “That’s
a secret.” I stared at his retreating figure, my
heart pounding. He was still the same
captivating guy. The boy who was once the.
subject of gossip because of his family’s
financial struggles was now a shining star, his
future bright. A future without me.
