MISCARRIAGE

ZARA

My parents marriage has always been the standards of a good marriage to me. No matter what, they stood by each other's side. Even if they didn't live long, they never cheated on each other.. but why does my own marriage have to be such a failure?!

"You didn't tell me these things when you were sleeping with me!" Lizzy said. She seemed to be determined to see Griffen and I fight. But I didn't even have the strength to fight with him I was so weak. Too weak to deal with anything.

I just hoped that everything was dream. And that when I wake up, it will all be back to normal.

"Let me tell you Zara you are just a shameless bitch! Do you think that you have the ability to keep a man?! You are always bragging about how your husband is loyal to you and how he won't do anything to hurt you! Well guess what, I already slept with him and there's nothing that you can do about it! If I were you, I'd give up now! What a waste!" Lizzy yelled at me.

I could not believe that my best friend was saying these words to me. She didn't even look remorseful for the fact that she slept with my husband. Instead, she seemed to be proud of it. Why was I friends with such a person for so long?!

"Shut up right now Lizzy! You are not in a place to speak!" Griffen yelled.

"What do you mean I'm not in a place to speak? I can't even state my mind now? You are such a cheap man Griffen! Why didn't you tell me this when you were having fun sleeping with me! And as for you Zara, you are just a cheap woman who doesn't know how to keep a man! You little bitch!" Lizzy yelled at me.

I looked at Lizzy in shock. I just can't believe that this is my best friend. Who is this foreign woman in front of me.

"You know what? I just can't....I just can't do this anymore! I never thought that the both of you were going to betray me like this! What did I do to you Lizzy? I thought that we were good friends. I thought that we could tell each other anything! And you Griffen, didn't I love you enough? In what ways was I lacking as a wife? Why did you treat me like this? Did you have fun? Was it fun for you to hurt me like this?" I asked. I was having a major mental break down. I felt like I was really going to lose my mind if I continued to stay here with these people.

"I never really thought of leaving you Zara. I admit that I've made a mistake. Let's just put it all behind us and continue with our lives alright? There's no need for us to keep harping on it" Griffen said. I could tell that there was no hint of regret from him. He sounded like he had done nothing wrong.... like he is the one who is compromising with me here.

I shook my head. No...this can't be it. This can't be my forever. This can't be the man that I fell in love with! This is not the Griffen who agreed to love only me for the rest of my life!

"What? What did you say? Do you really expect me to just put it all behind me? Do you think that it's just simple? As long as you say put it behind you I'll be able to do that? You cheated on me Griffen! You cheated on me with my best friend! Do you even know the implications of that?" I asked Griffen.

Then I turned to Lizzy. She wasn't remorseful either. Instead, she had a smug look on her face. She looked like someone who had finally gotten her revenge after a long time. Why didn't I know that this woman who I call my best friend hates me so much? Am I really so stupid that I can't even see through people?!

"Lizzy....what exactly did I do to you? Why did you do this to me?. Why did you hurt me? We were friends Lizzy! We are best friends! If I did something wrong to you ... couldn't you have just told me about it... did you have to hurt me like this?" I asked Lizzy. I felt like I was about to pass out from the intense pain that I was feeling inside my heart. How did....how did things come to this?

"You deserve it! Weren't you the one who was always bragging to me about how much your husband loves you and how he will never leave you for the entire world because you are a submissive wife? How does it feel now to have been proven wrong? As long as it's a man that I Lizzy want, I'll be able to get him! Including your husband!" Lizzy yelled at me. She sounded like a mentally deranged person at this time.

It was at that moment that I realized that I didn't know these people in front of me at all. I thought that I could trust them....I thought that I knew them....but it all turned out to be a facade. In the end, the only idoit has always been me.

I've always been a fool. A big silly fool all this time.

"Lizzy...can you even listen to yourself now? You look completely deranged! When did I rub it on your face?! You are the one who's completely lost her mind!" I yelled. I was also losing my cool too. How did they expect me to accept this calmly?.

"Alright! That's enough Zara! I already told you that this was a mistake and that we should put it behind us. It won't happen again. Let's forget all about this episode. You can go home now! The both of us won't be seeing Lizzy again!" Griffen yelled at me. Griffen grabbed my hand and tried to pull me out of the office but I resisted.

I glared at Griffen. Does he think that he can resolve this by just calmly saying that we should put it behind us? Does he really think that it is so easy?

"The both of you won't be seeing me again?! What a joke! Do you really think that I'll continue to let you live as a happy couple after all that has happened?!" Lizzy yelled.

I glared at Lizzy. "What else do you want from us?" I yelled at her.

"Why don't you just get a divorce? Haven't you always been a prude Zara? Are you sure you still want to be with your husband after he's slept with your so called best friend?! If you don't divorce him, you're really cheap!" Lizzy yelled at me. I didn't know why she was trying to goad me into getting a divorce but I knew that I could no longer stand her arrogant attitude.

I reached out my hand to slap her but Lizzy pushed me away forcefully. I fell and my stomach hit the ground first.
