After IL Divo's concert ended, Aries teased "So orang, you're going to marry all four of them, huh?" I held his hands and smiled "That'll make me a sinner. I am married to you".. He leaned and hugged me tightly. "I am the happiest man on earth", he shed a tear. "Now orang, act like a man or else i'll run off and join IL Divo for the after party", i grinned. "You're not going anywhere, damnit!", he grabbed my arms tightly. I felt that for once i had made the right choice. No amount of shoes are ever gonna make me feel the way i felt about my decision today. When we left the stadium, he drove directly to his place. Aries uncorked a bottle of champagne and toasted "May our marriage last longer than all your shoes collection!" I laughed and jumped on him. For the first time, we made love like man and wife. I no longer feel like a sinner. I'm fucking what's rightfully mine. My husband..
We were asleep when the doorbell rang non stop. I got mad, got up and opened the door. It was Sri Lankan at the door with teary eyes. "Yes?", i asked with raised eyebrows. "I need to see Aries", she cried. Aries was behind me. She came in and looked very uneasy. The first sentence that came out from her "I'm pregnant"
"Congratulations!", i handed out my hand. Aries stood silent and he looked at her with fiery eyes. "I'm sorry. I can't do this right now", she stood up to leave. "Wait! Tell me why you're here. Do you need help? Where's the lucky dad to be?", i stopped her. "You should go. She's my wife now", Aries chased her out. "How dare you? You slept with me and now you want to shirk your responsibilities? I am having your fucking baby", she screamed out loud. Tears rushing down to her cheeks. I opened the door and told her to leave. "He's no angel, Sarah. I slept with him", she claimed. "What proof are you pregnant? If you're really pregnant, are you willing to go for DNA test?", i spoke calmly. I was jumping with madness but there's no way this woman taking away my happiness. Enough with all the sarcasm and making me look stupid all these years. "Please leave or else i'll call the cops", i stood next to the door. She walked out sobbing and i slammed the door to her face. I didn't say a word to Aries. Went back to his room, put on my clothes and getting ready to leave. "Orang, what are you doing? This is your house now", he tried to stop me. "You slept with her? The woman whom i hated so much. The woman who makes me feel so stupid everytime i'm with your friends", i meditated in order not to stab him with the kitchen knife. "It's only sex and i used condoms everytime. I never promised her anything and she knew that i loved you. That child is not mine", he claimed. "What happens if it's yours? Are you going to be responsible? Do i have to face your bastard child for the rest of my life with you?", i shouted. Aries tried to grab me and i slapped his face. "Enough! I've had enough! Your friends will always be a barrier. That slut is so despicable. What she can't get in daylight, she sneakily tried to get it by night! And you, are the worst of all. Of all women, you decided to fuck her. Look what happened?", i spoke in anguish. Aries went down on his knees. "Forgive me. Stay".
I took a deep breath and said "Settle your things first. If she's really carrying your child, you'd either give her one lump sum of money or get her to terminate the pregnancy. Or else, give me a date for us to terminate our marriage licence at the Embassy. I do not that woman or that child anywhere near you if i am officially married to you.
On my way home, i felt like a sinner. I can't believe that i suggested a mother to terminate an innocent child. I am not a saint. ENOUGH.
Even if it meant signing DIVORCE papers, so be it.
It's either ME or THAT WOMAN.
