Till Death Do Us Part

When I got home that night, as my wife served dinner, i grabbed her wrist. 

"I have to tell you something."

She just sat quietly. I can saw the hurt in her face. Suddenly, I can't open my mouth but I have to let her know about my plan. 

I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly and I taught she'll get mad or even yell at me but she didn't instead she asked me calmly.

"Why?"

 

I ignored her questions and that makes her mad, She threw her spoon and fork to me.

"Your not a man!"

That night we didn't talk to each other. 

She's crying.

 I know she wanted to know what made me say those words to her but i can't hardly give her a proper answer.

 I don't love Joy anymore. I love someone now. Irene. 

I just feel sorry for her.

 I draffted a divorce agreement which states that she can own our house, our car and 50% of our sharings. She starred at it before ripping it into pieces. 

The woman who spends 10 years in her life with me becomes a stranger. I feel pitty for her waisted time and energy, but i can't take back what I said cause I love Irene more than her. 

Finally she cried in front of me which I expected. 

Her cries are more of release than hurt.

The divorce which was obsessing me in a week has become clearer and firmer for me.

 The next day, I came home late and I found her writing something in the table but i didn't mind her, I just ignored her and goes directly to the bedroom and fell in a deep sleep cause i'm tired spending the a memorable day with Irene. When I woke up due to the urge of peeing, Joy was still there, writing. I just ignored her and fall back to sleep.

 In the morning, she presented to me her divorce conditions: She don't want anything from me but only a month before the divorce. She also wrote there that in that one month, we will live normal as if nothing will happen. Her reason is simple, Our son will have his finals in a month and she don't want to disturb our son's studies just because of our marriage problem.

 I agreed in all of her conditions but there's more.

 She asked me if I remembered how I carried her out of our room the next day after our marriage. She stated there that she wanted me to do the same in one month. I taught she's crazy but because our divorce is coming so soon, i accepted her offer.

 I told Irene about Joy's divorce conditions.

"Hahahaha, is she crazy?" 

She's laughing out loud. 

No matter what things she's planning to do to cancel this divorce, she'll not make me cancel the divorce. 

Joy and I didn't do any body contact since I told her that I want a divorce so when i carried her, We both feel strange.

 While i'm carrying Joy in my arms, I didn't noticed our son is standing behind us.

"Uwaaahh~ Daddy's carrying mommy in his arms!"
