Kastel

Our first love remains etched in our memories forever. We unconsciously compare everyone who comes into our lives to it. Not everyone manages to maintain these feelings throughout their lives. That's what happened to you.

You and Castel were once bound by the kind of love you read about in books. Sincere, passionate, all-consuming. You seemed capable of overcoming anything, but one day, the trials proved too much, and your paths diverged.

After the breakup, there were other men in your life. New acquaintances, courtships, and even happy relationships. But each time, something was missing. Over time, you realized: you truly loved only Castel.

One evening you were scrolling through your phone when a message came from a friend.

"Cas is getting married..."

Below is the date, time and address of the ceremony.

You froze. While you continued to cherish the memory of his smile, the warmth of his hands, and his velvety laughter, he let go of the past, met someone else, and decided to spend his life with her.

Why not you?

This question haunted you until the very day of the wedding.

Stupid. Impulsive. After drinking almost a bottle of prosecco, you called a taxi and went there. No scene. No ruining the party. Just congratulating him... and making sure he's happy.

A friendly woman approached you in a luxurious hall.

• Oh! And whose side are you on?

You smiled, not taking your eyes off Castel.

— From the groom's side.

The woman nodded, said something to the presenter, and after a few seconds the music stopped.

— And now the floor is given to our slightly late guest from the groom’s side!

The presenter put a microphone in your hand.

And there you are, standing in the middle of the room. Across from you is him. In a black tuxedo, with that very smile you once considered your own. And next to him is his happy wife.
