We boarded the flight at eleven, and I was grateful for the silence of the aeroplane, which would not disturb my unsettled mind further. I kept uncomfortably shifting in my recliner despite it being a first–class seat
Leaning my head back on the headrest, I closed my eyes wanting to sleep away this anguish. Hours went by, with me sitting still, with this numbing yet agonising sinking inside me.
I turned off my phone, not wanting to read any long strings of texts from my few cousins, relatives, colleagues his side of the family and friends, as well as our parents.
“Karry,” I tilted my head towards my brother.
“We’re about to land in ten minutes. I nodded rotating my neck to soothe the strain I’d gotten by slightly dozing off
“How’re you feeling now?” Leona asks, I knew she meant physically because mentally and emotionally I’ve never been sicker before in my life.
“I feel fine enough now,” I answered thickly. Knowing my adamant nature, nobody argued and we drove straight to the place where I lived with that Man. It was a beautiful two–story house with a beige–coloured brick exterior, we bought it at an inexpensive price since it was on the verge of collapsing We built a now foundation and a whole newly designed house on it, it took five months but it was put beautifully together and Keith and I loved spending time together helping the workers. We knew we would have kids as soon as we got married so multiple bedrooms and a big yard were a must
For a short period, I stood there gaping at the houses, letting the memories of our once–divine love trickle over me one last time without any ugliness coating it. Then I grabbed the keys tumbling with the locks and marched inside once it was free. With a newfound energy, I began the necessary task.
“Karry slow down, you can’t move that fast,” Dexter calls out warningly as he follows me with everyone behind
“I am fine,” I scoffed ignoring the insignificant dizziness that was still there. I began gathering any important equipment or stuff that was bought solely with my money and lining them up in the living room. From both the kitchen and study room.
It consisted of some of the wall hangings I made with my hands, the juicer, the sandwich maker, the electric kettle, the pegasus painting and other little things.
“Karry, I ignored Corwin’s appeal of slowing down and he sighed dejectedly. I paraded inside the storage closet and brought out the few boxes I had along with the scissors and packaging tape.
“Let me,” both and Dexter began packing up anything I bought without any further protests.
“We’ll help you with the clothes,” Said Xaviera as she and Leona followed me to the master bedroom, I collected the last of my patience with a drep exhale and stumbled a little back from the unregistering wonder. My eyes were wide with disbelief and more heartache at the realization,
He painted the bedroom, Pastel Maroon, and the carpet I didn’t like was gone, replaced by the hardwood floor I preferred. The furniture was shifted exactly the way I wanted but was unable to do so because of our wedding preparations. He might have done this all while I was staying at Xaviera’s so we could maintain the walt until the wedding rule,
Then the bright sparkling sunshine turned into darkness, a disturbing neon glow followed, and Keith was on the bed with a brunette touching her as she curled up in pleasure.
They shared an intimate kiss before he thrust inside her wildly, I backed off from the scene trying to grab a hold of something to keep me sape and steady. Then all of a sudden they were dressed and standing in front of me smiling wickedly, her hands coming forward, a dazzling ring on her finger. Keith was beside her beaming with happiness, as they shared a sweet kiss.
Taking another wobbling few steps back. I held something that was lending me the support to keep standing, my head felt bully with vibrating muscles and the discomfort streamed down to my twisting chest. I gasped and parted, someone tugging at my face, it was all a blur, I pointed wearily at the scene,
My anxiety rose to a new level as Keith held her closer to a new scenario, caressing her visible bump, I jumped back at the sight screaming in misery. In an instant, I was on the edge of a gloomy mountain, with murky grey skiles blanketing all the lights of the world.
