Betray for the better.
Under the high heaven,
nothing appears in its permanent. The Buddhist states that “it is not the time
that changes but it is the human who changes.” Similarly, parents of Yuden have
left her orphan at six, her uncle had taken the advantages of her innocence by
taking all the wealth her parents had and now, her loving husband had turned into
an enemy. The life is unpredictable and nobody is trustworthy. One fine Monday
she called, “Rigzel”, her husband for some discussion.
“Rigzel, I would love
for another child. Anything can happen
to our child. One more additional won’t make any difference in our income. It
is for security and our ‘chey chey’ wants his younger brother or sister to
accompany him.”
“Hey, you, mind your
words,” spoke words under his molars. “It is not worthy and I am not interested
in it. If you and ‘chey chey’ prefer to have another one, you may find someone
for the service.”
“Rigzel, I am serious,”
said Yuden as she thought her husband making fun of it. “Don’t you remember our
promise to have four children? We are with only one and there are three more to
go. I love you and I want from you, sweetheart!”
“You whore; even a dog must have waved its
tail at this point. Better keep shut and do what I say. Don’t force me to
violent. A barking dog never bites, be aware of this simple man. He may turn
black and blue” said Rigzel.
“Rigzel, what’s wrong
with you these days? You are always coming late to home. Do you remember that
you have not joined in bed for last six month.” As a wife I also have desire to
be fulfilled. Please dear keep your promise. I can even hear the words you have
spoke on our wedding night. You promised to keep me happy.” Yuden uttered the words
with tears.
As an act of
acceptance, Rigzel slapped his wife for the first time in their seven years of
union. Rigzel left the scene.
Yuden on the other hand
could not bear the insult. “Prevention is better than cure,” she thought and
decided to leave before it turns to worse. She woke her ‘chey chey’ and started
walking out of the house. Before she left the place she kept a note on the
table. It reads;
Hi darling,
v It was not my intention to leave you but for the
safety of our child, I leave you for the better. I am not your enemy rather
your spouse internally. Hope you will enjoy your life as no one is there to
shout at you. I would always pray to be with you Rigzel of my wedding day. If
you look for new, I wish you all the best.
Wife of seven years,
Yuden
The next morning,
Rigzel read the note with heavy tears. However, he could not help. Couple of
years before, his parents and sibling were all dismissed in an accident. The
wife and son too left him. His spouse, his child and his relatives were all
scammed up in a single bottle of wine. He would call his parents, spouse, son
and other relatives after each sip of the wine.
Thought his best
company was that very bottle, he could not forget his son and wife. He wrote
the letter on very fine Sunday morning, before he went for his daily diet. It
reads …
Hi Yuden, my love,
v Thank you for leaving me for the better. Today let
me share that I betrayed you for the better. I have caught a disease … AIDS for
this long year. I thought it would not be good for a new sibling and for you
too. It was better to stop in anticipation. Forgive me for that. Actually I am
not the one who hates you. I promise that I would be a faithful husband in next
generation. It was during tour that it just happen, and had rumors of AIDS on
her, and visited hospital after tour. After all the result was HIV positive,
this has no preventative measures in the world. Any sexual contact will
directly affect to the coming child and you dear. After that I have never dare
to touch you. As a last gift of my son, I have already deposited nu:500000 in the name for him to study. Give him the
best education.
Always a husband in
heart,
Rigzel.
