He called and texted her, apologizing but Karen told him she wants to have nothing to do with him, so she blocked his line.Bug tried talking to Karen to come back home, but she refused saying Nicholas should go to his Sophia whom he loved dearly.It was a Sunday evening, Sarah was in the kitchen cooking, her son Nicholas helped her in chopping the veggies like carrots, onions.They heard the doorbell.“I will take it” Sarah said, she washed her hands, took off her apron and left to check who was at the

“Nicholas talk to me, why are you quiet?” She held his tie.“We don't want to spoil your happy moments, congratulations” Mr. Xandro stood up and turned to the door.“We will be back” Sophia stood up, following her dad.They left and Karen slammed the door hard.“Karen I haven't decided yet, calm down” “Huh you haven't decided yet, wait is it something to decide on?”“Please Karen, let me think”“Screw you!” Karen raised her middle finger at him and went upstairs.Nicholas sat on the sofa frustrated, minutes later, Karen came with a big box, dragging it across the stairs.“What are you doing?Where are you going?” Nicholas stood up immediately.Karen ignored him and continued struggling with her box.“Karen, talk to me!” He yelled.“I'm moving to the guest room” Karen replied.“why?What happened to our bedroom?”“Our bedroom?, Or you and your wife to be bedroom,”“Karen don't do this” He went on his knees, pleading.“I'm doing it already and you will do nothing to stop it” Karen hissed
