PARALLEL WORLD
Bib pib!
I could hear the sounds of the hospital monitors very close and faint voices from outside the hospital door which seemed like two people were arguing about something in fact a male's voice seem cold and a woman was pleading.
" Kalvin you can't do this she had just woken up from coma" Teresa said anxiously as her son coldly move towards the hospital room.
" Alvin please listen you can't do this" she tried to make sense into him but he wasn't buying it anymore.
A man in white shirt and black pants with glasses seem very mad especially after hearing she had just woke up from coma.
" No mother I have to do this, she is too much already I can tolerate it when she behaves rudely to me but I won't when it comes to my family what if something bad had happened to grandma instead .... divorce is what she wants then I shall give it to her" Alvin said angrily no longer listening to his mother.
" You can't do this son what.... what if something happens to you... remember what old master said" Teresa said anxiously.
" Nothing bad will happen to me mother but I think it will if she continues staying in our lives" Alvin said angrily and then went inside.
Looking at the weak woman lying on the bed he felt nothing but hate towards her now despite trying hard to make their marriage work, he could no longer take it.
" The doctor said you could move your hand so I'm sure you can sign these papers" Alvin said coldly before throwing the papers on her lap.
" Where am I?" A soft calm melodious voice came about as a weak girl in hospital clothes look at the cold man before her.
A handsome young man seeming in his late twenties in white shirt and black pants was looking at her his middle length black hairs adding more to his attractive look but his hazel eyes was looking at her with hostility that she never felt before, it was all confusing to her what was going on?.
" Stop your dramas already, you think I'm going to buy it? Listen Lena I could turn blind to all your ridiculous demands and acts but this I will never forgive you,"
" Why did you shout at grandma she was just worried about you, she had heart attack because of you what if something bad had happened to her huh!"
" You even drove yourself in a dangerous way and scared my family for what because of divorce here sign it" Alvin said coldly looking at the puzzled girl who didn't seem to get anything he just said.
" Divorce!" That word now ringed in her mind but in different occasions and different dimensions of different world.

They said!
They said he was the best, one of the kind, in comparison none could compare to him and like a fool I believed them.
" Dear don't you trust us?" They asked and looking at their faces full of hope I couldn't possibly bust their bubbles could I?.
" I trust you mother, father" I answered with hesitant voice.
" You accept then".
" I do!"
That was the biggest mistake I ever done in my life, I couldn't stop the tears flowing from my eyes as I recall what happened just few hours ago, I was happy thinking that finally I got the chance to visit my husband's working place.
Since my mother-in-law had asked me to bring his lunch box instead of the servants at first I was surprised because it was not normal at all, there was no way my mother-in-law would ever allow me anywhere near Castleford company then I wondered why?
She said the servant got an emergency and since Calvin could only eat from home I knew I could not delay anymore and do as instructed.
It silly but I was happy at least they entrusted something to me so without thinking much I went to his office not having a good feeling about this I passed through the reception and the assistant was already there he seem surprised to see me but aside from others only he knew my identity as Mrs Castleford while others were giving me wierd gazes the man only gave me a slight nod and I did the same.
" I came to see my ...I mean Mr Castleford " I said with some eagerness but contrast he seem hesitant and I could see he felt sorry for me but why?.
" This way" He instructed and I followed him but why do I feel uneasy reaching the only office in that floor I need not be told that this was his office.
The door was not locked so I entered the office hesitantly as I fear him shouting at me again as he doesn't like me to touch his things without permission, contemplating whether to call for him or not I heard faint voices coming from the inner room of the office, I wanted to inform him that I was here but stopped when I heard soft voice that clearly comes from a woman.
" Oh Cal!" She said with her soft tone that seem more like a moan.
What I saw next was enough to make me lose all the strength and I couldn't stay there anymore not even for a second.
" Why ....why did he do this to me I...I loved him and did everything for him, tolerate all his family's humiliation and torture, I thought one day he would recognize my effort my devotion and affection but only to get his betrayal!"
Running away from that place I got into the car not even caring the wierd gazes I was receiving from everyone my face was a mess and I knew I was too but I couldn't help it.
Running away was what I never did but was the option left but even that was not allowed as right when I thought to fight back.
Everything went blank and only series of horne and metal crushing could be heard followed by the loud bang and the rest was history that I couldn't remember.
Now what.
" Now what!.. isn't this what you wanted all along?, here sign it and get away from our lives forever" That man kept on taunting and shouting but I didn't get him at all who was he and why was he talking about divorce.
" Excuse me who are you?" her soft voice a little gentle and innocent matching the look on her face as she asked that made the man pose.
