Micheal Emerson's Choice
Episode 26's
"You love my brother, don't you?"
"I love your brother, but my heart chooses you to be my mother."
Zenwa gaping and his big eyes glared perfectly at Micheal's ambiguous answer, Zenwa even thought he might have misheard.
"Why did you marry me? Is it because my brother is sick?" asked Zenwa again to make sure.
"Didn't I answer that?" Micheal asked back which made Zenwa's chest rumble instantly.
"So I didn't hear wrong" he muttered half a growl.
"Where do you know love?" zenwa asked hissing, with all her might she held the turmoil in her chest.
"In the heart." Michael answered calmly.
"Then how can, the heart that holds love for Kak Arin actually choose another woman to be made a wife? Did your answer make sense?" zenwa's tone began to rise with a gaze that returned to the blanket of anger, but Michael remained calm.
"Everything just happens, Zenwa. I don't know how to explain," Micheal said then "But for sure, it wasn't me who left Arin, he turned me down when I got his night." he continued.
"Then you proposed to me?" zenwa asked in a higher tone, and Micheal nodded that made Zenwa's body immediately feel weak and his heart drowned, realizing he was just an impingement.
"So you're just making me an impingement?" zenwa asked with a voice that started to feel heavy and her eyes were back in tears.
"Which explanation? Don't try to defend yourself, I really didn't expect you..."
"The...!" michael exclaimed as he moved from his seat, making Zenwa gasp "You can listen first if people talk? huh uh?" furious that Micheal was now standing in front of Zenwa who was still sitting on the edge of the bed, Zenwa even had to look up in order to look at Micheal.
"So the story is like this." said Micheal who now lowered his tone and he returned to his chair, Micheal took a breath before continuing the story.
"I begged Arini to marry me, but she refused because she was sick, though many times I said I would be faithful by her side, accompanying every second she passed in her life..." Zenwa listened to Micheal's words well without any interruptions.
"But she kept resisting, and she instead asked me to find another woman more perfect than her, and back then, spontaneously I..." Micheal looked at Zenwa who was looking at him very seriously, impatiently waiting for Micheal's next story "I spontaneously mentioned your name, because to me, if there's a woman more perfect than Arin in my eyes, it's just like that, then it was you. I thought Arin would accept me after that, but she supported me and told me that you were the right woman for me." Micheal said in a low tone, exposing the stifled emotions in his soul.
While Zenwa, he was trying to digest what Micheal was really saying, and the answer was still the same, he was just an impingement.
"The zenwa..." Michael stepped up from his seat and he rested in front of his wife "I know, maybe you're disappointed with me, feeling like you're just my outlet, but I beg you..."
"Let's get a divorce..."
"What?" Micheal certainly shrieked in surprise at Zenwa's words. He looked into Zenwa's eyes, and that gaze implied the seriousness of Zenwa's "Zenwa, what are you saying?" ask Micheal.
"We'd better get divorced, because I don't want to be an impingement. We'd better get divorced, because it hurts so much to marry a man whose heart loves my own brother."
