Chapter 77
<Shielyn>
“And you believe your husband, again? Hey, friend. Your husband is lying to you and manipulating you,” Vane said after I told everything to her.
I am here in her shop visiting her and telling her everything that happened to my marriage; she’s updated in my life.
“No matter what my husbands do, my heart chooses to forgive him,” Love makes people stupid and selfish, he is human, and it’s natural for him to make mistakes. I feel sorry for my husband. I know he has a hard time with what’s happening to us.
“Sus! Don’t believe him! Once a cheater is always a cheater, he can do it the second time. I’ll bet that your husband will do something again.”
Faith joined our conversation; she had returned from vacation and visited us. It’s been years since I saw Faith.
“Don’t be bitter, Vaneneng. Kier explained that he was on drugs and didn’t remember everything; he didn’t know what he was doing. And be grateful that he takes responsibility and is liable for his actions. A real man like him is rare to find in a world full of trashy men,” Faith sided with my husband. While Vane doesn’t like my husband, that’s why she’s always saying wrong about Kier.
“You were not the included in the relationships; why do you keep on intruding? Your ex left you. That’s why you are bitter!” Faith pranks her.
“I’m a concerned citizen,” Vane reasoned.
“Are you perfect? You never commit a mistake in your entire life?” Faith asks Vane.
“Shene, your husband, made a mistake, and it’s normal. People are meant to make mistakes; what is not good is when he repeats his mistakes and says ‘sorry’ and doesn’t change his behaviour. Men don’t want to show that they are hurt; at least your husband confesses.”
“It’s not a valid reason that he is a human and a man who has needs; he keeps on making the same mistake; it calls manipulating,” Vane answered.
Faith look at Vane.
“It came from your mouth that making a mistake is not a reason. May I ask you how many Kier made a mistake? Does he repeat what he did?”
“We didn’t know. What if he cheats again?”
“Kier doesn’t become aware of what he was doing because he was under a drug; he can’t remember anything.”
I’m listening to their arguments, they have different opinions, and I respect my friend's opinion.
“Eh, why was he on drugs? That his fault!” Vane said.
“I give your a drink, and you accept it. Will you know that I put something in that drink!?” I sense in Faith's voice that she’s getting pissed.
“Stop it; you might fight about it,” I stop them. No one wanst to stop.
“Forgive your husband because you couldn’t do anything with it. My auntie once said, even if your husband is a demon. If he dies, you will cry. And no matter what happens, you are tied to each other. Marriage is being tested; even if your husband cheats, he is a demon or the worst person on earth. You will forgive him.”
I agree with Faith.
My love for my husband is so much.
Vane didn’t reply and changed the topic.
“Sean visited yesterday with his son, and he said that he only has two weeks to stay here before flying to New Zealand,” Vane said sadly.
Why is everyone leaving?
I’m home, and my husband is not yet home.
I got home late at night because my friends and I talked about many things. I also found out why Faith left the country.
I waited for my husband.
Maybe Faith is right; I will follow my heart's desires, when I be fine and then something will happen. I feel tired.
I feel tired of what’s happening, but I will fight for it and stay and hold tight. Everything happening is a challenge and tests our marriage. I don't want to regret it because I didn't fight. True loves forgive. I will die if I ever lose my husband.
I couldn’t afford it if I loved my husband; he was there when there was no one by my side, he took care of me, and he loved me more than I loved him.
He has an ugly attitude, and I love him more; I fall in love in love every problem we surpass.
He stayed by my side when he couldn’t understand me; he chose to stay instead to find someone better than me.
“Wife? Why you’re still awake?”
I looked at him, and I heard his deep, baritone voice.
I didn’t reply, and I ran to him and hugged him tightly.
He hugs me too. My husband hugs me tightly. I know he misses me too.
I release from the hug.
“Have you eaten?” I ask and cup his face.
“Not yet. Why you’re still awake, wife? It’s late. Rest early,” he said.
I help him to remove his coat.
“I miss you,” I said shortly.
“I miss you too,” he said in a deep voice and grabbed me by the waist for a hug.
“You don’t know how much I miss you,” he said while burying his face in my neck.
“I want to say sorry,” I started.
He loosened his grip on me and looked at me with a frown.
“For?”
“I’m sorry for what I’v acting this past few day. I realized that we have been through a lot and you didn’t leave me,” I tearfully told him.
I love my husband very much. I love Kier so much; he is my life and my world.
"I'm sorry too," he apologized.
Our relationship has improved.
"I feel guilty because it seems like you're the only one fighting. And I am acting a brat," I said.
He smiled slightly.
“I understand. It’s my fault too.”
Gradually his eyes became happy.
"But I feel jealous of the kid because most of your time and attention is on him. You don't talk to me often anymore," I told him.
The smile on his lips grew wider.
"How can I talk to you? You're shutting me down. I give you time and space; you might need it. It seems to have an effect," he grinned.
I hugged him again.
"Promise me that you won't keep a secret from me. If you keep a secret from me, I will kick you out," I joked, but he took me seriously.
"I'm not hiding anything from you," he said in a deep voice.
"I love you so damn much," he said and pressed me with a kiss.
Because I am fragile, I responded to his kiss.
