CHAPTER 2: MARRIAGE OVER DEATH

Between life and death, there is only two choices you can choose, it is either wishing for another second to live with, to see your love ones go to the path of succession or second, an everlasting sleep that no one can stop nonetheless that you were accidentally resurrected by an unknown entity which we all know would be impossible to happen.

Just like the others, all of us chose to live a life carelessly since that is how we supposedly be using it. We never choose to live this life yet our parents were the first culprit who made us to live this not so meaningful world. We never choose to be born after all.

"Aren't you going to ask me about your ex-lover's sudden death, Irene?"

Love, death, two words with finite meaning, for the first years in our lives, we thought it was something that we aren't prepared for, especially death.

"Love, Soul."

"It's not on my hold, Mr. Wang." The prosecutor bowed her head before she left him inside the room. Lover, something that everyone were interested of, it was something we thought we should be looking for but some also believed that love would eventually exist at the very right time and in the most unexpected moment.

Just like how the prosecutor had thought before.

"Do you want some coffee, Prosecutor?"

"Hyun-ah, want some milk?"

The woman shook the voice inside her head off as she walked past the officers in front of her. For five years, the woman remained faithful and loyal towards her husband despite of the drastic changes in their relationship, the woman kept the promise she made in front of the altar at the same time she knew she had already surrendered herself to the love of her life, that she always thought to be the right choice.

But now, she was already awaken by the fact that love was never been a choice.

For five consecutive years, it was just around him and her yet they still haven't done any move to take it to the top.

To have a child.

Everyone were expecting for them to have such a wonderful child that the prosecutor could bear but the two had both agreed that there would be such a good time for that, which Irene knew to herself that it would no longer be there. She knew to herself that she's not getting any younger anymore and the risk of bearing a child in such an age would kill her or worst the child she was bringing.

It would be much better if she would just focus to her job for now since she had already knew that nursing home would also be there to take care of her when she gets old

But what was the purpose of marriage when the only thing she does inside it is to be a good martyr wife that only few of her friends know, right?

"I don't have the chance to ask someone to call you out there, prosecutor but your husband called." Her officer said as she opened the door of her office while the woman followed her inside. Even though she wouldn't try to guess it, Irene knew that her husband just dropped by to tell her that he wasn't be able to go home tonight and to the following weeks, that he have workloads to do or he had went home to pick up some things he needed for his flight tonight with his boss for a "controversial" meeting.

It always run just like that, Irene knew too much that she had already gotten used to it.

"Can I stay in your house tonight?" Irene asked, not on her monotone voice, not the strict one, just her, hoping for everyone to understand what she was feeling inside this manipulative marital relationship she hopped.

"Yeah, sure, Jennie's joining us also." Shon Wendy stood up as she saluted to leave the prosecutor's office when the woman called her by her name. She looked towards her friend and asked what's going on, Irene kept her face serious when she spoke.
