CHAPTER 10: LET ME CONTINUE MY LIFE

TRISHA

I seemed to hear someone shouting in my room so I opened my eyes and saw my husband facing my mom but why did they seem to be fighting.

“you’re just bringing hardship to my daughter so if you have still dignity left in you, you and my daughter will get divorced,” mom said angrily but I can’t believe that mom would say that.

“ I can’t do that, just like you said your daughter choose me so I will stand her decision,” my husband said calmly but I saw his handshaking.

“ Okay! But can you afford all the expenses of Trisha? Her surgery? Her treatment? All right! if you can, I’m not going to force to you separate my daughter so can you do it? “ I’m just listening to what my mom saying.

I saw my husband depressed, I feel sorry for him because of what my mom treated him but what should I do? I want my life to continue but how? Can Calix give that?

“ see! You cant! Because you a useless! Divorce her for the exchange of all treatment and surgery. We will take care of our daughter and you? You can live with your worthless life”

“Calix” he looked at me and I saw sadness in his eyes.

“oh, nice! My daughter wakes up already so Trisha helps your husband to decide” mom said and I looked callix.

“ Liza! Stop it your not doing right anymore more” dad said, dad knew that the mommy method was wrong but you cat blame dad he wants me to continue my life.

“ What is wrong?! Isn’t right for me to choose what is best for our daughter? I want Trisha to continue living and we are the only way for her to live because if Trisha will stay with his husband they can’t do anything. Our daughter will die because of him”

“ stop! Stop!” callix shouts. Were surprised because callix never shouts.

He walked in front of mommy and slowly knelt. I covered the my mouth for what callix did, his kneeling in front of my mom.

“ I’m begging, please help Trisha as for your daughter but pleased don’t force me to divorce her because I can’t, I can’t live without her,” he said on his knees.

“ you cant live? You can but you can see her dying in front of you, I want is you to divorce her in exchange for all the expenses and that all” I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t do anything. I want to defend my husband but I’m scared, I’m scared to death.

“ please callix stand there,” I said softly.

“ ill do everything you want, make me your servant or whatever but pleased don’t let me divorce your daughter” he was still on his knees begging mommy.

“ We don’t need a worthless person like you,” mom said.

“ callix stand up” I feel dizzy again.

“ Trisha tell him that you rejected our offer to go to the US because your thinking of him” callix looked at me.

“you’re still thinking about him even though you are in a dangerous situation but your husband is only thinking about himself,” mom said.

“ Trisha” callix call me but I cat looked at him.

“ your wife wants to continue living but you are stopping it, she has many dreams but you are stopping it. If you care for her divorce her at let your wife make a decision” I cant looked callix.

“ I’m sorry callix but I want to go with my parents” I looked at him and he was sad.

“let’s accept that we can’t do it, I still want to live,” I said.

“ please callix, please let me continue live please, please” I cried and Alex took pity on me.

I saw callix get up on his knees and bend down his head but I knew that his hurting, I didn’t know what was running through his mind.

“o-okay ma’am I agree with your condition” I was stunned and felt pain in my heart.

“ what do you mean?” mom asked.

“ I’m going to divorce her for the exchange of her treatment,” he said softly but I feel his sadness.

I can’t believe that this will happen to us but I want to live and mommy is right, callix is not the answer to my situation and I admit that callix is incapable of giving my needs.

“ callix” seems to have blocked my throat.

“it’s okay Trisha, I can’t afford your treatment and your mommy is right, I’m a worthless and miserable person. I’m sorry that I drag you to my worthless, miserable life” I cried to what he said.

“ So tomorrow morning I will fix your divorce papers, just come here tomorrow to sign it”, mom said.

“ all right ma’am” he walked to the door.

“ I’m leaving it took a while before he opened the door and I knew that he was waiting for me to talk but it prevailed that I did nothing. I wanted to apologize but I knew that was not enough.

I was still staring at the door that was closed couldn’t stop crying, I felt guilty because I choose myself rather than stand up to callix.

“ sshhhh” Alex came over.

“it’s going to be okay from now on” I cried and hugged him, it’s hard but I have to do it for myself, I want to live and I want to have a family. I’m sorry, callix.
