Emma managed to control herself, and behaved accordingly, but in her heart she was wounded. She carried out her duties as a wife as usual, preparing all her husband's needs to go to the office. Since the incident that night, Emma was more silent but her lips always smiled hiding a tremendous pain.
"Good morning, ma'am..."
richard said as he walked to the dining table. No answer, Emma glanced at her husband and smiled coldly. Richard lost his spirit, he ate his breakfast. The atmosphere that was usually full of excitement turned quiet instantly.
" this is her bag pah "
Emma put Richard's bag on the living room table. Usually Emma gives it directly to Richard but this time not.
" Thank you, ma'am."
Richard said as he looked at his wife. The one being stared at just nodded without looking, Emma was busy playing her phone. Richard couldn't do anything else, he felt so guilty. He was sorry but it was too late.
" Mah, papah leave first."
Pamit Richard, while approaching Emma, looked down and kissed his wife's forehead. Emma fell silent motionless, again2 she just nodded but this time she smiled at her husband. Forced smile.
********
After Richard leaves for the office, Emma contacts Indri, a friend of hers who lives in a very distant town.
" Hello? "
There was a soft Indri voice
" Ndri, it's Emma, how are you? are you busy?"
" Hey Emma, I'm not busy, I'm good, how about you, I miss you so much, when do we meet again?"
" Ndri.my news isn't good, me"
" What??why you Emma? what's the story to me."
Emma had not yet finished her words Indri had cut off her conversation.
" Ndri, I'll tell you later, it's not a good time, can you book me a plane ticket? I want to go to your place."
" Emma, I'm so glad you're coming to my place, but I don't want you to go because of trouble, remember your children Emma, leaving isn't the only way to solve the problem, if you have the same problem Richard you should talk about it carefully, do not take a decision like this, I am not refusing you to come but I want you to go in a good way2 from home.
Emma was silent for a moment
" Ndri I've been patient enough all this time, I'm so tired of facing Richard, I don't think I can live with him anymore, I've lost my way, I'm confused I don't know where to go."
" Never ndri."
" Did Richard ever curse you?"
"Never ndri."
Emma answered flatly, she was confused why Indri asked those questions, but she still chose to answer what Indri asked
" Did Richard double his salary for you and for him?"
Indri asked again
" No, if he gives me his salary, then I arrange the money."
" Well, has anyone else teased you on facebook or in the real world?"
"The ndri."
" Did you call him?"
"Well, sometimes I respond but I'm just a prank and I don't respond often, Richard knows."
" Did Richard protest? or get angry when you find out there's a guy teasing you and you respond?"
" No, he's not angry at all, he understands and he knows I've never seriously responded."
" Did Richard help you out at home often?"
" So often, he doesn't even let me do hard work and he never forces me to work, he just wants to do what I want to do without burden."
" Well try to count what mistakes made you want to leave."
" He cheated on her, I forgave him but he reconnected with her, I saw on his phone a call came in from her."
" Because of that call you concluded that your husband cheated on you again? does Richard admit it?"
" No ndri, he doesn't admit it, he says no but I still don't believe."
" Emma, you're mistaken baby, I don't stand up for Richard, nor do you stand up for you. Emma, if your past feelings and wounds are still remembered believe me, you're hurting yourself, if one Richard's fault you count on and on and you remember, then forever whatever Richard does will always be wrong in your eyes and even though he does the truth you still think wrong, even though he tries honestly you can no longer believe.Open your heart and mind dear, calm yourself, calm yourself, and, leave all the wounds of the past, start with a new life, rise from mistakes and want to change it is not easy, do not share your anger, your emotions, your ego, but just try to look at your husband once when he sleep imagine all the goodness and happiness he has ever given you, forget slowly your pain because of it.only you can heal your heartache Emma depends on whether or not you.think and consider.."
