Have you ever heard of karma?
They say whatever we did in the past will come back to us.
Sometimes fast.
Sometimes slow.
Sometimes in the most unexpected ways.
At first, I didn't believe it.
But somehow, my life started to feel... strange.
Love always failed.
My heart kept breaking again and again.
At times, it felt like I was haunted.
Not by someone,
but by something quietly creeping in from the past.
Until one day, I met a fortune teller.
Not because I believed in the mystical.
But because I was too tired of guessing all the reasons behind what was happening to me.
She stared at me for a long while,
then calmly said,
"You're paying for past karma."
Karma?
Me?
I never thought the past could reach this far.
Until someone from back then showed up again.
Not as a memory—
but as a reality I had to face every single day.
And from that moment on, my life changed.
Memories resurfaced, one by one.
Old secrets slowly crept in.
Even things I thought were over… were simply waiting for their time to return.
And I began to wonder in my heart—
Dear Karma, do I deserve this?
Or maybe… this isn't a punishment.
But a path I must take.
So that the person I once called my first love would finally know—
that the feeling never truly left.
Because maybe, karma doesn't always come to destroy.
Maybe…
It comes to reunite two hearts that never got their ending.
