“What do you mean? You want to ask me for a divorce?” Tone of speech that ejected from Gerald's lips as if indicating that the man did not accept his wife asked to separate.
Cathleen nodded in affirmation. “Every day I always wait for you to wake up, but every time you open your eyes, just get ready and leave. I'm also waiting for you to come home, hoping we can chat even if only for a moment, but real you always go straight into your room, and ignore me.”
Pausing for a moment, Cathleen was commenting on a smile to restrain herself who wanted to cry. Inhaling as much air as possible first, after feeling his throat more normal because it had felt choked, then he continued speaking so that the sound that came out did not sound vibrating. “I feel like a person you don't consider here, you always ignore me, whereas every day I try to get you to communicate. I just want to be aware of the position, here, I'm the third person in your relationship with Chloe. After all, there is no love for me either. Than every day I feel heartbreak, it is better this relationship ends.”
“Who says there is no love for you? I've said that when you're in Lapland, you'll be mine, and vice versa. You're forgot? Or you can't catch my words?” Gerald did not accept his wife's request for divorce, although he remembered her initial agreement before marrying Cathleen. But, indeed never brought up the agreement after finding Chloe, because she did not want to part with Cathleen. Of course, in addition to the love for his wife, he was also the first person to take the crown.
“But, one week more there is no improvement in our relationship. Instead, I every day refrain from trying hard to accept you who pay attention to your lover, compared to your wife. I just wanted to do the first deal of our marriage, willing to leave when Chloe's back. And now is the time.”
Gerald closed the map containing divorce agreement documents. He moved to sit next to Cathleen. Touching his wife's shoulder to face her. He knew Cathleen was holding back from looking tough. “Hold a minute, understand my position. Chloe was like that too because I failed to take care of her during being my lover, I caused her pain. If only I had found him immediately when he was lost, surely he would not be paralyzed like now.”
Both of Gerald's hands collapsed and slowly descended, stopping at the fingers to grip. “I'm looking after Chloe for feeling guilty about her. Please, stay by my side, you can do anything as long as I take care of her.”
“Until Chloe dies, the doctor says she won't live long. I want to give a beautiful impression before she leaves forever.”
“Nobody knows.” Cathleen shook her head while letting go of her husband's hand. “You asked me to understand your position, I did it by letting you go. You want to take care of Chloe until you don't know when that time comes.”
Already tried as hard as possible to refrain from crying, finally the eyes were no longer able to stem anymore. He started to tear up. “I also need your attention, Ge, all this time I've been waiting for you to get back as warm as before. But, you keep ignoring me, making me like a meaningless display. I'm also a woman who has feelings, rather than getting hurt deeper with a man who hasn't finished with his past, I better end this heartache.” Yeah, finally the clear grain overflowed as well.
