Her Ex-husband’s Wrath

“Is it true, Ashley, why don’t you answer?” Agatha asked me which I am unable to answer because I am afraid of what might happen once she found out the truth. “Answer me, I am begging you to tell me the truth,” She begged.

“Agatha,” I tearfully called her name as I remained bent over. “I am sorry,”

“So, it’s a yes?”

“Please leave, Agatha, and pretend that you didn’t see anything.”

“I will tell Asher if you don’t tell me the truth. I will let him know about what Nana said,”

“NO! Please no,”

“Then answer me, what nana said is true?”

“Yes.” I nodded in response. “It’s all true.” Then I looked up to meet his gaze. I saw her holding her chest while crying. Nana approached her and supported her.

“This is not true, you’re lying,” she said then looked at Charles. “Tell me you lied,”

“Please, I’m begging you not to tell Asher the truth, please Agatha, please,”

“Tell me first that you lied?”

“I wish I am, I wish what you saw was not true, but this is the truth, the reason why I left. The reason why I hurt your brother.”

Agatha suddenly approached me and knelt in front of me while holding my knee.

“I’m sorry,” she cried in vain. “I’m sorry for the hurtful words I said. Forgive me, Ashley. I didn’t know, please forgive me.” I held her and helped her to stand and let her sit next to me.

“It’s not your fault. I’m sorry I kept the truth from you. Agatha, please promise me you will not tell Asher the truth. Promise me, please I am begging you.”

Ever since Agatha became my friend in the US, she has been my best buddy. I’m the one she always used as an excuse so Asher let her roam. I am her ally, we were the ones who got along all the time.

Even though we both liked Vince back then our relationship didn’t break. The two of us went through a lot. I know I hurt her when I turned my back on her brother. I knew how much he loved his only brother. So when I left Asher, it was as if I had cut off my friendship with her also.

“Agatha, please don’t tell him.”

“But he hates you thinking that you left him with another man,”

“That’s better than letting him knowing the truth.”

“He hates Charles in front of you not even knowing the truth.”

“I accepted it, even if it hurts to hear the person I love throws hateful words at my son I accept. If only that was his way of reducing the burden I gave.”

“Ash, you don’t deserve this,”

“Please, don’t tell,”

She cried and held my hands. “Promise, I won’t tell. And I will help you to get along with him without letting him know the truth,” she said then kissed my hand.

“Thank you, Agatha, thank you.” Then we cried as we hugged.

“He looked like you,” she said smiling as she caressed Charles’s cheek with one hand.

“Really?”

“Yeah! I saw your picture when you were his age. You have the same eyes and eyebrows. You just shaved yours to get a shape.” I laughed at what she said.

“Yeah,”

“Ley knows, doesn’t he?” I nod as an answer.

“But Hunter doesn’t know,” I added. “Eugene knows too but he hasn’t visited here yet.”

“I see. Now, I also know. You have lots of shoulders to cry on and palms to wipe your tears.

What’s his illness?” Then he looks at Charles again.

“Congenital heart disease. He also has liver and kidney disease. He got it when I got him pregnant. I didn’t do anything but cry.” Then I looked at her. “I miss Asher so much. I’m thinking about what happened to him when I left. How is he? What he does to make me forget. If he’s ok?”

Agatha took my hand and cried too.

“I saw him fell. I saw all how he lost hope when you left so I was angry with you. I saw how he destroyed himself and attempt to end his life. But Paula was with him.”

“I wished them happiness,”

“No, I know he didn’t love Paula. I admit, one time I saw him happy and he seemed to have energy again so I was surprised and at the same time, I am happy. I thought because of Pau. But when I saw you in the office unexpectedly. I knew It’s you. You are the reason his life re-gained. I was angry why did you show up if you didn’t come back to him either. I’m sorry, you can’t blame me. I don’t know the real reason.”

“I’m not mad at you, Agatha. Because I know you love Asher. It’s all my fault why this happened to us.” She smiled but cried. “Because I didn’t want to hurt him, I lied to him and to you. I am not angry with what you show to me. If I have anything to resent it is myself because I haven’t dared to admit to you the truth. I don’t want you not to know the truth, so I told a lie to make you angry with me.”

“It’s not your fault. This is no one’s fault but to the fools who did this to you. I’m here Ashley, no matter what happens I’m just here. I won’t leave you again, you’ll be with me again from now on, ok?” She hugged me and I hugged her back.

“I won’t leave you anymore, Ashley, I will stay in your side from now on. I will face everything with you, just tell me everything, ok, and I will promise I will sympathize with you. Please don’t leave me again, best friend,”

I have my best friend back. 

I have got back my best friend that I lost. I hope Asher and I can get along soon. Hopefully, even just as friends. I hope he can turn his feelings to Paula so both of them can be happy. It hurts, but I will endure because I know I am no longer worthy to be his wife.

I love him, and all I want is him to be really happy even if I am no longer the reason.

“Please help me to reconcile with Asher, I want his forgiveness,”

“I will and trust me, everything will be alright without him knowing the truth. Like Ley, I will be one of your allies now, ”

“Thanks, best,”

“As always, my BFF,”
