as months dragged on to years they learnt to get by, sometimes simon would have an episode but that was rare and mild.
she knew the technique to calm him it was just that although he was cured the brain is a tricky thing ,one we know little about.
dr Langford had received recognition for research into trauma patients unlocking thier full potential after being diagnosed with PTSD.
amy being the strong woman she was supported simon through every stage.
the kids were both at school now so they managed to get the business international, even investing in cargo ships.
they now had 100 workers quite alot for a home started business.
Simon's company management firm was lead for the most part by Lennon with simon selling half his shares to him.
so now money was not an issue but what became one was Simon's deteriorating health at just 42 he was now diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas.
he hadn't told amy and wasn't planning to the prognosis was good for now 5 to 10 years they said.
unfortunately he wasn't as stringent as Graham so it was just one letter which caused amy to come undone.
as he finished his work at his firm of which he owned 40%,he drove home expecting to see his family at the table eating while his plate would be covered awaiting his arrival.
instead he saw the kids were no where to be seen and heard amy crying audibly in the upstairs bathroom.
in the bathroom amy clutched a letter headed from the local Hospital.
clearly stating simon zahir had stage 3 pancreatic cancer.
the EDD said 5-10years she stared in horror as she saw the date of original diagnosis.
20/5/2019 he knew for 2 years and didn't tell her.
"what a bastard he is mum.....how could he lie to me ....and at that for two years...he acted so normal....what's wrong with the men in my life?"
amy had called her mum whilst she was in hysterics,it wasn't the best idea.
her mum didn't know what to say as she already knew but was told to not tell amy.
simon has prepared for the worst taking sasha as his helper in all the decisions pertaining to his illness and the future of his family.
"mum I'm pregnant again...how am I going to keep it knowing it may never remember its father...mum I can't....you you WHAT?why....how could YOU.....u dont love me at all?"
she smashed the phone angrily against the base,ripping the wire out of the handset.
she brought her knees up and placed her head there and sobbed.
simon placidly entered the bathroom and sat in front of amy pulling her close to him.
she put her arms around him tightly and spoke hoarsely through hiccups and tears
"I hate you...you evil liar...you don't care about me or the kids"
as the rage filled in her veins and the realization of him not being there hit her,
she pushed him away with force and began to pack somethings.
as she zipped her bag a very distraught simon entered.
"amy dont leave me baby...I was going to tell you....I just didn't know how"
he pulled her bag and put it aside,amy ignored him and packed the kids bags.
he stood up to full height and commanded her to stop packing.
"amy for fuck sake your pregnant and your trying to leave at this hour in this state....you promised you'd be with me but what are you doing now?"
she turned around looking him in the eye "yeah your right.... but you dont need me..... for 2 years you hid this how could you tell my mum and not me?... am I not your wife...guess that doesn't mean shit huh?" her voice cracked and she secured her hijab,she rubbed her small bump of 4months.
"amy come on let's talk about this"
she shook her head "no si I dont want to
....I can't you robbed me of 2 years that's not forgivable....I dont want this baby....I dont want you...I'm going leave me alone"
he tried to hold her and she struggled alot he eventually weakened her resolve he hugged her with one arm and held her small bump with his free hand.
"amy dont say you dont want the baby and don't block me out of your life....I love you so much and I need you...what if I can beat this...I'm starting natural therapeutics it's worked for many...so it might for me...please dont walk out on me"
she shook her head attempting to calm her sorrow.
he was right maybe he would overcome this.
she sat in defeat who was she kidding it wasn't his fault he's ill she should notice.
like when he goes to the bathroom alot.
or when he took days off work.
"I'm sorry simon I should be more alert...you haven't been normal in health for at least 6 months...its my fault "
he shook his head "blaming wont help let's just concentrate on fixing this huh amy?....will you stay with me?"
she nodded a sword type pain entering her heart.
