Ex-wife, Please Come Back

"Let bygones be bygones. We should look into the future. Sara doesn't understand you. So, I won't cajole her into anything. I will try to persuade her, but I have to be there for you now. Do you know that all the hatred I felt towards you quickly disappeared the moment you walked through that door? I just couldn't continue to bottle it up. You came back because you consider this place as your home."

Carlos' eyes twinkled. He smiled, as he reached out to touch Tasha's face.

Her face was actually smooth and there were very little wrinkles. She seemed not to have aged at all! However, the corners of her eyes wrinkled whenever she smiled. Also, her hair was scantier than usual. This was because of the fierce battle with cancer.

"I didn't have the courage to come back. I was too afraid to do so. After all, I was the one who chose to leave in the first place. I thought you wouldn't welcome me back. So, I had to endure my suffering all alone. My husband was wealthy, but he was also very stingy. He never gave me a dime. I now understand that a man's wealth doesn't matter. All that really matters is if he loves me or not."

She paused. It appeared as if she had a lump in her throat. Indeed, she had divorced Carlos because she thought he didn't care about her. At that time, she was so convinced that he didn't love her. She saw him as a deceiver.

She had continued to say that to herself. Eventually, she believed that he actually betrayed her. However, she later realized her costly mistake. It had dawned on her that he actually took good care of her.

For a very long time, she thought of coming back to find Carlos. Her heart ached whenever she thought of him. Sadly, returning wasn't an option. She had a new family and she knew she would betray them, if she ever tried to get a divorce.

So, she didn't dare to come back to him. Nonetheless, she kept all their memories in her heart. Tasha's greatest fear was that Carlos had already remarried. She didn't want to see that after she came back.

Because of this, their paths never crossed for more than 10 years. Their hearts suffered during this time. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't forget all the beautiful memories.

Whenever she remembered him, she would buy a pot of beautiful flowers. Gradually, each pot of flowers formed a small garden in her new home. Sadly, she had no one to confide in. Not a single companion!
