A Moment in Destiny

“You…I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Is this why you asked me to come here?” Winnie felt embarrassed that Esther could easily guessed her thought. All Winnie wanted was to leave now.

“What’s the rush? I won’t tell Hudson. If Hudson loves me, he wouldn’t have left me in Switzerland while he went to New York in the past four years. Have you ever thought of why he did that?”

“Why?”

“Because you were in New York. Hudson wanted to be in the same city with you even though he couldn’t be with you. He wanted to wait for an impossible encounter to happen. Do you think that those encounters that happened once in a while were accidental? Ask Lance. Hudson wandered on the street after work because he wanted to have an encounter with you.”

“That’s impossible,” Winnie didn’t believe what she heard, “If Hudson still loves me, he would have looked for me earlier.”

“Will you forgive him? You threatened Hudson with your death to have a divorce, what do you expect him to do? He is afraid to hurt you more, but he didn’t want to let go either. Why do you think he waited for you for all these years if he didn’t love you?”

“He felt guilty and sorry for me!”

“The guilt trip was nothing. If Hudson didn’t love you, why is he practicing sexual abstinence?” Esther patted Winnie’s shoulder, “Don’t be a rash girl. Keep calm and think thoroughly. Did he not love you at all? You were framed in that video the first time, but what about after that? Were you guys framed? I was told that all those nights after wasn’t a frame, and both of you weren’t drunk. If Hudson didn’t love you, why did he hug you in his arms every night?”

Winnie’s face flushed red, “Love and sex are two different things for men.”

“I see you have the gift of gab now,” Esther raised her brows, “What a good salesperson you are, but you must put more effort into your job. You see, you became agitated when we talked about Hudson. Girl, use your wit like how you did those marketing analyses. Do you think that Hudson didn’t love you at all? If you keep breaking up with him like this, you might need to consider marrying him the third time. Won’t that be embarrassing marrying the same person thrice? The reason why I asked you to meet me here today, is to stop you from getting that divorce. Think about it. So, you got what I mean?”

After hearing what Esther said, Winnie too, realized that she was acting rashly. Winnie decided to let go, and she thought she was free from Hudson for the past four years, why should she felt agitated now? Why should she be affected so easily? Winnie took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She then smiled at Esther.

“Why? Did what I said cause you to have urinary incontinence?” Esther said, “Say something!”

Winnie felt like her patience and elegance were no use to a woman like Esther, “Esther, can you stop being so rude?”

“You do piss, right?” Esther rolled her eyes. She turned around and saw Elijah leaning and resting against the door of the lounge. Elijah was smiling at Esther. Esther became nervous, “Hubby, why don’t you get more rest?”

“Elijah,” Winnie greeted Elijah, “I should stop being the third wheel. Make a baby brother for Iris! Your task shall be complete once grandfather sees the heir of the Perry family. Bye!”

“Remember what I told you!” Esther exhorted, “Are you saying that girls are invaluable?”

Winnie felt resigned. Esther was too warm-hearted. Winnie didn’t even felt like they were that close to a point where they could discuss private or sensitive issues.

“Girl, did you remember what I told you?” Esther shouted at Winnie after she realized Winnie didn’t reply to her.

“Don’t ‘girl’ me. I’m four years older than you,” Winnie shouted back.
