The one who said she loved me, yet proposed to another man

Summary

My girlfriend of seven years, Elara, rejected my proposal for the seventh time on her birthday.

As I was in the kitchen, heartbroken, making her favorite dessert, a popular local video popped up on my phone's feed.

In the video, Elara was wearing a beautiful white wedding dress, holding out a ring with tears in her eyes.

"Julian," she said, her voice thick with emotion, "will you marry me?"

Watching the two of them kiss passionately in the video, I finally understood that the rumors weren't
