Today I got a phone call at my residence

It was the Christmas Eve and I was sitting on my couch reading my favourite novel Pride and Prejudice near the glass window enjoying the heat of the sun.

Then I heard the ringing of my cell, I wrinkled my eyebrows as it was the unknown number. Signing I picked up the call and said “Hello” ……

The strangest part was that no one said anything, but I knew who that person was “hello” I said again. I can hear rough breathing of him and it has been 3 weeks since we last talked and I can never forgive of what he did to me and to our unborn child.

I was 5 weeks pregnant I wanted to tell him about the baby on our anniversary which was the day before we got separated. I caught him cheating on me with some other woman in our bedroom.

He said he was drunk and thought that the other woman was me but I knew him better and caught him easily as lying was really not his forte and I left the house without another word. 

I can’t explain in words what it was like to caught someone you love immensely with some other person, it’s like something deep inside of my chest broke and crushed into million pieces. He found out about my pregnancy a few days ago when my doctor called at my previous house for the remainder of the monthly check-up and he picked up the call and got to know about it.

I don’t want him near me and my baby ever because once a Casanova always remain the same. But they say that one only remain angry with someone who you love deeply. I still love him, but how can I forgot the scene before me when I caught him with some other woman.

“Hello” I said again now I was crying and silent tear was falling off my face….why? I questioned him while stammering. All he said was he can never leave me and our baby and he is sorry for what he did and for sabotaging our love with his blunder.

I stopped him and said what’s done is done nothing can be fixed and be back like nothing happened. I ended the phone call and the poison that he soiled in my heart would always be vengeance for him for the rest of my life.
