When I Know The Truth

\

     The rain was pouring heavy and it was so cold. She wasn't making her favorite coffee, she wasn't in the mood for such simple pleasures in life. She sat there on the couch, holding the magazine that he has been reading again and again for a week now. Nothing much was there to be done. She noticed that she was losing weight without attempting and she was looking pale and tired. She has skipped work for a week now and she didn't not do much house chores. All she did was sitting all day on the couch and wondered at which point she has gone wrong.
     It was half past five, her husband would be home any minute now. She woke up and walked to her room, changed her clothes into a short black pants and a maroon blouse. "I look like shit", she claimed that about herself. She pulled her hair up to a high pony tail and applied a little bit of mascara and wet her lips with cherry lip balm. Not so pale. Not so ugly. Probably she is not as pretty as she used to be. Now she is thinner, have black rings twenty four hours a week and she doesn't care much about her outfits. She cursed herself in every single possible angle she could for the betrayal her husband has committed.
    She prepared her husband's favorite meal, carefully garnishing everything and presenting them in the most creative way she could. She didn't not want her married life to end this way, not this miserable. She wanted to safe her breaking relationship, after all they fell in love during their university and had to elope before getting married. Absolutely this is not the way her love life should end.
"RRRINNNNNNGGGG!!", she almost drop the plate. It was her husband at the door She opened the door and hug him as she always did when he gets home. He smiled as broadly as he could and kissed her cheek. She teared thinking that whatever he was doing was just a practical joke being played on her.
"How was your day?", She asked.
"It was pretty tiring. I had to go to the headquarters twice before I could settle the issue. So tiring baby", he responded.
     She smiled at him and he walked to the bathroom to freshen himself up. She clearly knew that he was lying. She knew that he went out with his illegal sweetheart that evening and now making up stories not to hurt her. She set everything for dinner and thought about how he has changed after he has found someone new. She knew that for some reason, she can never ever safe her love life and she has to force herself and understand and being in love and being loved is part of our life and it cant conquer the all of it. She washed two empty plates and put them on the table.
"Wow looks so delicious and im so hungry!", he said.
"Eric, why don't you eat first? I really need to go to the groceries and get something before they close it", she said.
He noticed that her cheeks were red and her eyes were wet. He understood that she needed some time alone and nodded to let her go out for a while. She rushed into her room, scribbled something on a piece of paper, placed it on the mirror and left with her handbag, her jewels and her car keys.

     It was 2 hours since she left home and it was still raining heavily, he began to become worried. He called her to her hand phone and it buzzed right in front of him. Great!! She left it at home again!! He walked into his room to take his shirt when he found the note sticking to the mirror:

                                    Love of my life,

                                           I have learned the truth that you have found someone better

                                     than me to love and appreciate you. Trust me, go for the second one 

                                     because if you really loved the first one you wouldn't have done this.

                                     I have set you free for your entire life. I'm going off now and never

                                     coming back. I hope you fail in all your undertakings in the future

                                     for cheating on a woman like me. ASSHOLE!

                                                                                                              With HATE,

                                                                                                                Linda                                 

He broke down and started sobbing. He never have seen his wife being so rude to him. He must have hurt her terribly. It is obviously too late to explain and apologize to her. It is too late and he deserves such punishment for what he has done. All he can do now is to just move on with life while hoping that she would return when she knows the truth that he still loves her.
