Falling For The Man I Married

The moment I noticed Gabriel's car exiting the gate, I immediately pulled my suitcase out from under my bed. I just put some of my clothes and shoes in there. I didn't bring those things Gabriel bought and gave to me.

I left a long white folder with my note, and divorce papers inside. The day I saw Gabriel with Stacey in the clinic, I dialed my lawyer's number and asked him to make a copy of the divorce paper and I'm gonna pick it up in his office. And last night, I finally signed it.

I pulled out my bag with tears flowing down my cheeks as I roamed my eyes into the room for the last time. I smiled bitterly as I remember those tears and smiles I shared with my bed especially my pillows.

When I reached down the living room, I saw Elsa and some of the maids doing their daily routine around the house. Cleaning, mopping and wiping all the things their eyes can see. 

"Ma'am Madi, are you leaving?" One of them asked me, and I tried to smile even as the tears kept falling.

"Are you leaving us? Are you leaving Sir Gabriel?"

"I'm sorry Elsa, I'm sorry guys but I have to. And I'm not leaving you, I'm just leaving my pain here. I think it's time to... to start a new life without these grudges."

"You love him, Ma'am Madi. Because you're not going to sacrifice being in this state if not."

I smiled at them. "Thanks, guys. I will miss you all. Simon, please admit your feelings to Elsa, come on. Be a man, big boy!" Simon who was just passing by the kitchen widened his eyes and Elsa blushed a deep shade of red.

We all laughed at the blushing Elsa and Simon scratched the back of his head. 

And we're serious again, I removed my wedding ring and put it in Elsa's hand.

"Ma'am?"

"Can you do me a favor, Elsa?"

"Yes Ma'am, as long as I can, I'll do it for you, Ma'am Madi."

"Can you please return this to him? And tell him that... this ring doesn't belong to me."

"But Ma'am-----"

"Thanks, Elsa, thanks, guys." 

I hugged them one by one before pulling my bag towards the front door. I can hear their cries, their calls but I don't have time to turn around. I walked towards the gate and smiled at the sad faces of the security guards.

of course, I didn't easily let Stacey go easily at that moment. If she happened to be a man and she's not pregnant, I don't even know what can I
