Me, trying to keep myself together and not trample my husband.
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing, which was just beside me. It was 9 am. "Hi dear, how are you today?" This time Mary's voice seemed better than yesterday. I replied: "All is same Mary. You better say which time we are gonna meet today". "Is 12 pm fine for you?" she asked. "Yeah fine". I replied. "Okay then, in our cafe at 12 pm" and I hang up the phone. I wasn't feeling better. I was feeling even worser than yesterday. The only hope was Mary. What if her advices really help me? If yes, then I will be able to save my relationship with Richard. But if not, then that will be a catastrophe. I will have to go through the headache of the process of sharing the property and huge scandals with Richard. I might even lose my job because of great stress and depression. But Journalism was my dream job! How can I lose everything just in a blink of an eye?! Ahh, I have to stop thinking about this or else I will go crazy. I didn't notice how the time passed. It was already the time to go out for meeting with Mary. I quickly wore my favourite shirt, jeans, put on my sneackers and ran out of the house, forgetting to lock the door.
I reached the cafe at 12:10 pm. Mary was already there. Once we met, she again asked me how I am. I gave the same answer as in the morning. She shaked her head and kept silent for few minutes. Then, she started: Melanie, you should listen to me because I want all the best for you. After going home think about all that we talked about yesterday and about the things we are gonna discuss today. After some days, Richard might ask you why you behave in such a way. Your reply should be: "Because I don't care. I don't care because I no longer love you. I'm sad to inform you this but we really need to separate. It's gonna be the best for both of us". He is gonna agree with you at first but later on he is gonna be in amazement so hold on. After he recovers, feeling of angerness is gonna take control over him and he will decide to test your patience as he will think that you are just acting as if you are okay but deep inside you're dying. And he is gonna do everything to make you blast. You should stay strong and try your best not to lose control over the situation. I listened to Mary carefully and remembered her words very well. I was scrolling them in my head. Everything seemed to be flowing smoothly if not this. Once I reached home, I saw the door open wide. I got scared. Did some thief enter my house?? I persuaded myself to go inside. Well, as I entered, I headed towards the bedroom, without me myself knowing why. And here comes my surprised face with my mouth open as I saw all the clothes scattered on the floor. Surely, it must be a thief who has done this. I started checking all my bags and gold capsules in order to make sure that everything is in their places. To my relief, nothing was missing. Suddenly I heard a strange noise from the kitchen. Then I saw Richard coming out of there with a big smile on his face. "Didn't expect to see me?" I was shocked. "What are you doing here, Richard??" I screamed. "Sweetie, you forgot what I said last time? That I will come to take my stuff some other day?". "Oh yeah, how can I forget" I muttered. I was so angry at him for entering my house without notifying me from before. "Richard, couldn't you let me know that you are gonna come?" "Oh dear, someone clever forgot to lock the door so when I came to take my stuff, I just entered. What's so surprising here?" I got pissed. I was really about to crash like anything. How can he talk with me in such tone? How easy is he taking everything? I tried to remember Mary's words and to remain calm but my nerves were already losing. Well, I thought, Mary's plan for today doesn't seem to work out because an unexpected thing happened with Richard. "Ok, Richard, I forgive you for bumping into my house without giving any notification but now please be kind, take all your rubbish and just get out of my home". I yelled. "Melanie, (he was serious this time) maybe I have to remind you that "your home" is also my home. We lived here for almost 6 years so it's my belonging too so please be careful with your words". Saying this, he took his luggage and left. I was left speechless. Like how can he be so calm and self-confident when we are on the phase of getting divorced?! This time I was sure, I hate Richard. For everything. For just existing and making me suffer.
