Her Ex-husband’s Wrath

Ashley is in the garden as she sits on the grass and is combed by the maid. I approached them and motioned the maid to leave.

“How are you?” She gives me a simple smile then looks away. I sat beside her then fixed her hair. “Do you want to eat?” She shook her head.

“I want someone to talk to.”

“I see, I am willing to listen,” I said then stroked her hair. “Spill it.”

“I love someone and his name is Asher,” she used to say this to me every day. But I still couldn’t help but be sad and at the same time, I am happy. Even though she doesn’t recognize me she still thinks of me.

“He loves me and I love him too. But I left him because I don’t want to hurt him. You, do you love someone?” Then she faced me with a smile so I nodded.

“Yes, her name is Ashley and I love her so much.” She smiled then touched my cheek.

“Same my name the one you love. You look like the one I love. Maybe that is why we met so we can see our loved ones on each other’s faces. What’s your name?” she asked me.

“Asher.”

“You have the same name also. Asher, can you hug me? I really miss my husband.” I nodded then hugged him. “I really miss him so much.” She says while crying.

“Don’t worry I’m sure he’s just waiting for you so get out of where you are now so you can be with him.”

“Yes, it’s close, tell him it’s close.”

I hug her tight to let her know I’m just here. I held her head as I hugged her tightly. I could also feel her tight hug on me.

With all that, she went through I don’t know how she coped with all that. And I was supposed to be with her but I added to the pain she went through.

I punished her for a sin she did not commit and the truth is that she suffered too much. She fought alone and faced everything and I added, even more, the pain she’s dealing. I sent out in anger that she was not doing anything. I was blinded by anger and pain and eventually triple came back.

Despite my cruelty to her, she still chose to be with me. Because she loves me so she endured my cruelty to her. She suffered double pain in my hand. She took on all the pain.

Ley is right, if I had known the truth sooner we would have been happy today. Even there was the fact I would blame myself for what happened to her. Why I didn’t protect her we would still face the problem together.

Even now, every time I see her I still blame myself. If I had taken her then, that would not have happened to her. I always think of the pain she went through at the hands of those monsters. How she was hurt and tortured made me feel like I would lose myself.

Especially when I think about how she cried, how she begged, how she called my name to help her. When I bathe her, and I see the scars on her back. I wonder how she endured the pain while they’re doing that to her. The scars I once doubted and thought badly.

I should be the one who has taken care of her then. I must sympathize with her. But what did I do? I was the one who hurt her.

But I know she will be back to normal. We can’t even get back the times we lost that we weren’t together but we will make up for each other.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

I will take her back and continue living happily with her. We and the love we both have. No one can separate us from now.

In life, you don’t have to start all over again because the only beginners are newborns. All we can do is to move on, move on with life’s challenges despite all the pain you’ve gone through.

No one can forget the pain but there are people who know how to accept pain. The pain and suffering of the past are never able to be forgotten but are able to be accepted.

By accepting the past you will be able to move forward into the new tomorrow. You may remember what happened before but you have accepted to yourself that it has already happened and you cannot go back to fix it. So accept it wide arms open. Even if you remember it, you won’t be hurt anymore because you know that was part of your yesterday.

Ashley and I can no longer go back in time to fix what has broken us. But we can move on with life, face tomorrow together and form new happy memories. We will make up for the wasted days we were not together. Even if we remember the past, we will not be hurt. Because both of us have already accepted what happened.

There is no certainty tomorrow awaits for Ashley and me. But there is one thing I am sure of. No matter what happens I will never let her go. Not anymore, ever, because I’m going to hold her hands tightly.

I will never let her leave. I will never leave her again. Where I am, she is also there, where she is, I am also there. We will stumble and rise together. From now on, she and I are one. Because I will never let her disappear again.

Ashley was the first woman I loved. And she was also the one I promised to be last. That hasn’t changed and it won’t change no matter what happens. We will face through life holding hands. Together we will cry, laugh, be hurt, and be happy.

I will never let go of her hand again no matter what happens.

From now on I will be the first to be hurt before her. I will cry first.

“Are you crying?” I woke up from deep thought when Ashley wiped my tears.

“I just remembered something.”

“Do you remember your wife?”

“Yeah,”

“Don’t worry I’m sure she loves me dearly. Like me to Asher, I love him dearly even if we’re not together. I hope I can get out of here so we can meet again.” I kissed her forehead and wiped her tears as well.

“Please, promise me that you will come out where you are now. Because that’s also what your husband wants for you,” I said and kissed her hands.

“Yes, promise, I will fight to get out of here,”

“You should,” And I hug her and she hugs me back.

I thought I was a victim of my wife’s cheating. But it turns out that my wife is the real victim. Yeah, I may be a victim as well but not in a way that I thought. I realized now that we are both victims because of someone’s manipulation.

But whatever the reason, whoever else is the victim of us is the only one for sure. There’s nothing we can’t stand as long as we’re together. Nothing can separate the two of us because our love is true.

Whether we are separated by anything or anyone there is only one thing for sure.

We will be together again because that is what our hearts want.

We were separated for a while but we were still until the end.
