Annulment

I've been standing in front of Xerust before but until now he still doesn't stare at me. He was still focused on the folder he was holding.

His assistant just looks at me. I took a deep breath. "Leave us first." I ordered Wil.

"All right Ma'am-" "Who told you to leave?" "I am." I replied but Xerust did not look at me as if he had not heard me,

as if I was not in front of him. I looked at Wil again.

"Leave us alone." The assistant looked around at Xerust and me. I motioned for him to leave, he walked out.

Xerust dropped the folder he was holding but remained silent. "Why haven't you been home lately?" I asked him boldly.

He stood up and took a folder and ballpen from his table. He started walking towards me. With each step he took, my heartbeat grew stronger. I was nervous about what he would do next.

"Sign it." He said immediately upon arrival

"What is that?" I asked maliciously even though I already knew what the folder contained. Even though I already know what he wants me to sign.

"Annulment paper." I was speechless for a few seconds, I had difficulty breathing and even meeting his eyes I could not do.

"Why do I have to sign that paper?" I asked weakly and carefully.

"I saw it in my own eyes." I bit my lip. I was even more unable to look at him.

"Which one?" I asked weakly. "Just sign it." He ordered.

"Do you know my reason why I did that?" I forced myself to be calm when I asked. I saw the clenching of his hand but I did not hear anything from him.

"I will not sign it." I added.

"Do you really want to hurt me that much? What did I do wrong to you and do you have to treat me like this?" He said, I looked up and stared at Xerust

I read pain and anger in his eyes. I look down again at the annulment paper. When my parents married me to her, I hated her because she accepted it.

I was angry, tortured him.

I showed her that our marriage was worthless, that I would not accept and would not appreciate. But why now? I just think that we will be separated forever, I feel like I'm getting weaker.

Something heavy was going on in my heart. When I sign the annulment paper, he will not smile at me again and will look as if I am the only woman he sees and I may not see him again. So I can't speak.

"What are you waiting for?" I shook my head.

It was as if something sharp was sinking into my heart when he opened the folder. And he simply signed the annulment paper.

"Xerust, are you really having a hard time seeing me?"

"Yes." He answered sparingly and I did not even feel anything here.

"Are you giving up on me?"

"Yes."

"When I sign the annulment paper, will you be happy?"

"No." I stared at him. Until there were tears in his eyes.

"In the next few days, I know I will look for you, I know I will call your name, I know there are times I will regret my decision." I carefully held his hand, he bent down and stared at the hand of the two of us.

"But you hurt me and I don't want to be a fool anymore." he pulled his hand away and handed me the folder.

"Sign it then leave. I don't want to see you anymore." I took the folder from him as he turned around.

I stared at his back for a long time before I finally signed the paper.

I laid it on the mini table and turned around.

I slowly put my hand on the door handle, I did not have the strength to open it.

I glanced at Dale again but he still turned his back so I went out too.

I could feel the looks of Dale's staff as I walked out.

I don’t know what they think.

If they get angry because I became a bad girl to their Boss. Or they are just shaking because Xerust and I have only been married for a month but we have already signed an annulment paper.

My vision is blurred because both of my eyes are watering. Until my tears slowly flowed I never thought the cause would be Xerust.

It was too late when I found out I had fallen for him.

I regretted it because I realized I loved Xerust.

It's been two years and I thought I would never see him again. I was just surprised to see him again in front of me.

But he is no longer the same. He is no longer the man who loved me so much.

He is very different and I do not know if I can really bring back his love for me then.

Now, I will love the two of us. I, on the other hand, will be hurt and will suffer.
