A MONTH LATER
"Mother, he's not even talking to me. All of a sudden we are both
strangers…He doesn't eat
my food, comes home late…he hates me so much and it's killing me.
I'm confused…to
think that it's truly hurting…"
"For how long will you hide
this truth from him. You've got to let him know…you can't carry his…"
There was the sound of a car
horn
"Mom I've got to go…he's
back"
"Baby, you've got to let him know. It can work when you
two are one in mind"
"Bye mom" she ended the call.
Lawson came into the house,
about to walk past her.
"Lawson" She held him "I'm tired" He didn't want to
look at her face
"I know…can we talk for some
minutes?" She tried to help
him remove his suit
"Look what is it" He jerked from her
"Do you hate me this much?
you can't even look me in the
eye? you can't even stand my
sight? Lawson…it's me Sara…
your best friend…" Her eyes grew moist
"I'm in no mood for this" He
turned around to walk away
"Don't you dare leave when
I'm talking to you!" She
dragged him by the suit. Just then, some papers fell to the
floor. Sara quickly bent to pick
them up…her hands shook and
her body became numb all
over.
"D…divorce papers? Lawson?" She searched his eyes
"Answer me goddammit!" She
held him by the collar of his
shirt, crying
"They are for you to sign. I
want to be out" Lawson dropped
"Y…you what?" she slowly
freed him from her hold
"It's not going to work Sara,
can't you see?"
"Lawson I can't believe you would think of a divorce and
even go this far…why are you
so wicked!" she cried, angry
"No! Why are you so wicked!"
He retorted, flaring
"Think about me for once. I am a man for Christ's sakes. My
children are my pride! and you
are about to deny me that for
the rest of my life because of
your stupid mistake!"
"What about me! have you stopped for once to think
about what I'm going through"
"It's your cross, carry it"
Lawson fixed his angry eyes
on his wife
"No, its now our cross and I am not signing those divorce
papers! We vowed never to
leave each other!"
"Isn't it better Sara that you
save yourself more hurt and
sign these papers than to see another woman move into this
house before your very eyes?"
he said with a tone of sarcasm
Sara's heart thumped, "What?"
"You heard me…another
woman who can help raise a family, so save yourself the
stress and sign the damn
papers. I need it tomorrow"He
turned around to leave again
"She still can't carry your
baby" Sara dropped "Not all women had abortions.
Not every woman was like
you." He scorned
"You are the one who can't
give me a child!" Sara let out,
crying. Lawson stopped now, turned
around and walked towards
her, "Whatever your plan is
won't work"
"I told you I could never have
a child because its you who can't make me pregnant"
"Shut up! shut up Sara! what
the hell are you saying!" He
shook her shoulders violently
"You are infertile Lawson…the
doctor says you have primary infertility…" Sara burst into
tears Lawson gasped, loosing his balance.
