" I want a divorce."
The minute he said that a man came into the room. A man I did not recognize. By the look of it he must be a judge. Oh god! He wants it done today.
"Erik! Wait please I am so sorry I really am but don't you see I did this for you."
I tried to convince him to stay but in his eyes it was to late, he already made up his mind. Erik did'nt say anything, instead he sat down with the judge in the the small living room. He urged me to sit down in front of them. And so I did. The judge pulled out some papers out of his brown bag and started speaking to me.
"Madame Destler, Erik Destler wants this divorce easy and publicly and he will inform the people that you two will always love each other but want different things and a divorce is the only selution to the problem. Madame Destler you will still be able to work in the opera house and always be the lead as if nothing has changed and no one will ever know the real reason to the divorce not even I know it but this will be the easiest way to get divorced, Erik Destler has already sinned the papers now all I need is your signature here."
He said very clearly and calmly like he did this often and if this was a normal thing to do. It all happened so fast I did'nt know what to do. I'll still have my job but not the man I love.
Oh why did he had to make this so complicated.
I looked at Erik showing him pity, begging him to let us remain the way we were. I looked at him strait in his eyes. Is this really him? Does he really want to go trough with this?
"So, is this what you really want, do you want this?" I asked trying desperately not to cry. I had to show him my strong side. He didn't say anything. I took in a strong breath to let the tears sink in it worked. I picked up the pen and wrote my name on those three papers.

After that I stormed out. I walked as fast as I could to a driver. I told him of my destination and I left. Just as the carriage rolled away my tears fell and I don't think I've ever cried to hard in my entire life.
Help me....have I already lost you?
Maybe, just maybe you were never mine? Our love was true love before I even knew you, maybe just maybe you left the same. Maybe...just maybe we were never really meant to be together. And this is our curse.
