My Beautiful Orisa

Betrayal

Throughout the next ten years I was worrying. We had more fights about it than I could ever count. The phone calls never stopped. She started to "hang out" with her "friend" a lot. Her phone was always buzzing late at night. I was starting to let me thoughts get a hold of me."

"No! She can't be telling the truth Bastion!"

"But she IS! She could never betray you! She loves you!"

"Then who is her "friend" that she always has to see?! Sounds like a lover to me!"

"It's probably one of her close friends, she can't be seeing a guy!"

This was always storming through my mind. Every positive thing I though of her was second guessed by myself.

But one day in the Wintertime, my worst fear was confermed-and it's worse than I though.

I have to make a trip to Flagstaff for work. Like every other thing we discuss, me going was a arguement the week before. Orisa was still mad. She wouldn't even kiss me as I was leaving.
After I had been gone from the house for about 30 minutes, I realized I forgot my credit card, yes, of all things, my stupid credit card. I drive all the way back and head up to my room to grab the card-that's when I saw it. Orisa & Zen kissing on the bed. I should have known. It was so obvious. My best friend and my wife, together, the ENTIRE marrage.

"Oh! Um! Bash! Baby! I'm sorry! This isn't what it looks like!" Orisa  says trembling.

"Oh, I know exactly what this is!" I hiss, going to grab my things.

"C'mon man! After all the times we've had, you'd think I'd do this to you?!?" Zen pleaded.

"I just saw you, 'doing that to me'," I growl, "I'm fed up with this. I don't need either of you! Now Orisa, give me my ring!"

"Wait, baby, what?!" she crys in shock.

"Don't 'baby' me! Give me the damn ring! After the business trip, I'll be back for my stuff." I scream.

And that's exactly what happened. I came back, and grabed my things, without saying anything to Orisa.

Fifteen years pass. I have a new wife. I new best friend. Kids. And know, without an, "off", feeling...
