TRAPPED IN FORBIDDEN DESIRES

32. Divorce.

Flashback Off

"So you're playing crazy with that kere guy?" ask Delano.

"The kere guy you said was the guy I love so much now. Father of my son, I will not let you insult him" I said aloud.

"It's so good Caren. You now loudly admit that the man is your affair?"

"Why not? you do that too. Even more disgusting in my opinion. Remember Delano, one day you will be doomed to do such a perverse thing,"

"I'll tell your parents that you dare to ask for a divorce" Delano threatened.

"Oh yeah? I can also tell your aberrant behavior to your parents and my parents? which impact do you think is greater? if I'm obviously going to get divorced with you. No way my parents wanted their son to have a gay husband,"

"So Delano. Just accept my decision" I said.

"The way you go out, you will get nothing, including this house," said Delano.

"I have absolutely no interest in eating illicit money from the proceeds of selling fecal pits." My answer.

I admit my answer was pretty harsh. But I don't care. My decision is round. I still want a divorce from Delano.

I dragged my big suitcase, I immediately ordered a taxi online and went home to my parents.

Kriekkkk

My mother's eyes narrowed, as she saw me standing next to a large suitcase. I then fell into my mother's arms, and sobbed in her arms.

"What's wrong? you had a fight with Delano?" ask Mama.

"We'd better get in first. Let's just talk about everything inside" said the mother who then grabbed my shoulder, and dragged my suitcase.

Mama and I then sat on the sofa of the guest house, after my new door came from the direction of her room.

"What's wrong? you had a big fight with Delano? how come I got a suitcase this big?" ask Mama.

"I decided I wanted a divorce from Delano ma." I answered in between my sobs.

"Eling you Caren. Marriage is not a game. You just call it a divorce. Household quarrels are common, but do not have to settle the quarrel with a divorce,".

Grandma was at length lecturing me. I don't know what her reaction was when she found out that I was pregnant with another man's child.

"Yes Caren. Especially now that you are pregnant. It's not good to talk," said Mama.

"What's the problem? how could you fight so hard? are you asking for something your husband can't handle? you have to be patient, your husband is also tired of working to earn a living for you," said Grandma.

I felt like throwing up when I remembered the money I had eaten from Delano selling his makeshift hole.

"I still can't tell you everything. I want to get divorced." I answered as I got out of my seat and went out from before them to enter my room.

Grandma and mama didn't come after me, maybe they wanted to let me go first to calm my mind. But I know, I can't get away from them forever. At night it was discussed again, but this time the formation is more complete. Because there is a father who has come home from work.

"Actually what are you talking about asking for a divorce? you are just married, people who have been married for decades are still often quarreling," asked papa.

"We don't feel like we're getting any more matches." My answer.

"Omomg blank. Before making a decision, think about the impact. Your son needs his father. You as parents don't be selfish thinking about yourself,"

Papa let go of his spoon because of emotion. I swallowed my food whole without chewing again. I'm really scared right now. I can't imagine papa's reaction to knowing that the child I'm carrying is the result of an affair.

"Delano has another mistress" the words just slid from my mouth, leaving all my family speechless.

"Are your words believable?" ask Mama.

"Emm." I nodded.

"I even witnessed what he did." I answered without hesitation.

"Maybe if it's an ordinary affair I can forgive him, but I saw for myself when he was in touch with his affair" I said.

"I'm going to see Delano,"

Papa got up from his seat, but as quickly as possible I prevented him.

"Pa. Why papa go there, he must have influenced papa so I wouldn't divorce him. My decision is unanimous, I still want a divorce with him" I said.

"If it can still be fixed why not. At least we're doing it for your son. Papa will tell him to throw the actor," said papa.

Papa immediately stepped away from the dining table. I lost my patience immediately made papa's footsteps stop back.

"The problem is that he cheated not with random actors. He's gay, and he's been selling himself that," I said with an up and down breath.

While my grandmother and mother rounded their eyes, upon hearing my confession. I saw Papa turn around and come back towards me. I looked into my eyes, as if looking for my honesty.

"Don't just want a divorce, you're saying something that's beyond the limits of what you say as a wife. Caren, papa will support you divorce, if indeed all your words are true," said Papa.

"Actually from the beginning he had deceived me, deceived all of you. It's just why should I feel this way," I bowed sadly.

"What do you mean?" ask Papa.

I told her everything from the beginning of my relationship with Delano, to the state of my household during my marriage to her. Various expressions I could see, when they heard me tell a story. They seemed to not expect, if a man as handsome and valiant as Delano had such behavior.

"alright. Then there's no need to consider it anymore. Tomorrow papa will accompany you to file a divorce with the court," said papa.

I also nodded happily. But that sense of uneasiness is certainly still there. Someday I will be hit too.

*****

One week later....

I got Delano's divorce signature. Mediation has failed, because I am still muddy with my decision. Finally the first hearing in the title, without the presence of Delano from the defendant's side. I'm just glad he's not here, because the divorce process will be faster.

And the verdict hearing will be held next week. I want to get out of Delano so I can move on with my life.

At the last hearing I saw Delano present. After the decision was read, we were officially divorced. As Delano was about to step out, his steps were stopped by papa. Delano turned to look at me, but I immediately threw my face away.
