She saw her husband who vanished 17 years ago at the church

After two years of dating, Sally and Richard knew it was the time to tie the knot. They were young, both 26 at the time, but they felt like they were meant for one another. Well, at least Sally thought so.

Shortly after their wedding, Richard vanished.

Being an orphan and having no family, Sally had no one to turn to in order to seek information. He didn’t leave any trace, and the only thing Sally could do was wait. She was in constant contact with the authorities, but they were unable to provide her with any answers.

Years have gone by, and Sally’s friends tried to convince her to start dating again, but Sally could never think of such a thing knowing her husband could return. Even the thought of quit waiting for her husband made her feel guilty.

Instead, Sally decided to focus solely on her career as an engineer, which required traveling around the country.

One Sunday morning, while she was away from her hometown, Sally decided to attend a service at a local church not knowing that she would receive yet another blow that would shake her world.

Once the service was over, Sally headed towards the exit but she was stopped by a familiar voice.

Her heart skipped a beat when she realized it was Richard’s. As he was exiting the church as well, he spotted Sally and their eyes met.

“Honey, are you okay? Are we coming?” the woman next to him said. “Okay, waiting for you in the car,” she added and left.

Richard walked towards Sally and whispered, “Not here. See me in an hour at Tom’s Cafe, River Street, 6.”

An hour later, Sally was waiting for him at the location, shocked and puzzled, seeking an explanation.

“I know you want an explanation. I definitely owe that to you,” Richard said.

It turned out that before meeting Sally, Richard dated a woman named Meghan. They were high-school sweethearts, but they eventually decided to break up, and that’s when Richard started dating Sally.

However, he never forgot his former love and decided to be together with her again, vanishing from Sally’s life and starting a new life with Meghan.

“You know that I didn’t remarry and waited for you all these years?” Sally said.

“What?? No… You couldn’t,” Richard said in disbelief.

“I did.”

“I’m sorry, Sally.”

Sally left the place. As much as this discovery was painful for her, she finally found a closure and decided to start her life over. Once home, she called Jake, the man her friends convinced her to start dating, and found love again.
