413-Let Me Go, Lazio.
âChristina! Do you even know what you are saying?â I asked her after she got
out of shock in the next few minutes. It really took me some time to realize what
she had asked me to do.
âI know. I sound a bit weird and strange to you. but I have my reasons to
suggest that,â she said, lowering her face when responding to me. She seemed
so intelligent, so why would she suggest such a thing?
âYou want to share your mate with me? I really want to know your reasons.â I
frowned at her, raising my voice a little as she surprised me.
âAs if you donât know already. Enya! He is not happy with me. He will never be
happy with me. I tried to make it work. I did everything I could, but it seems
unfair to him now.
I know he should have backed down before the marriage, but I cannot punish
him for that for eternity. He has already suffered a lot. and looking at how your
marriage turned out, it seems like the Moon Goddessâ plan was to bring you two
together. It seems like you two are born to be together.â She raised her voice
when her intelligence was questioned.
I was only staring at her face in shock and amusement. How could someone
suggest something like that? Did he really break that much?
âChristina! You love him. You deserve him. Remember how much you had to
endure to be with him?â I had to get out of bed to talk to her after she too left the
bed and stood across from me.
âI remember everything, but he does not. Besides, I didnât do all that to make
him feel like he needed to repay me. It was never intended to be a force on him.
I did it for myself because I loved him unconditionally. Now he is not happy, and
I donât know how long I can keep an unhappy mate with me,â she yelled,
breaking down at the broken marriage she had been trying to fix for years.
âAnd what makes you think thatâs what I want to do?â I yelled back at her, feeling
her pain. We werenât angry with each other, just frustrated with our lives.
âI donât know what you want, but I know what you deserve. You deserve love
and someone who treats you well. You have done a lot for everyone, Enya. It is
time that you get the love and affection back,â she said, not raising her voice at
me this time. I, too, calmed down when listening to her.
âEnya! You have come a long way. I used to think my life was unfair until I met
you and saw you living an even shittier life. Maynard is nothing like Lazio. Even
when he wasnât happy in the marriage, he cared about me. He tried to make me
happy even when he wasnât happy himself, and that made me realize how I was
being unfair to him. He
deserves to be happy too. The two of you have faced a lot. There was once a
time when you two were inseparable, and I cannot forget how happy your
presence made him. It is time that you look out for yourself and finally find the
happiness you deserve. Please give him a chance and accept him. Donât think
you are doing something wrong to me because I am giving up on our
relationship, with or without your accepting him. As for Lazio, he doesnât really
care. He has his eyes on his new love, and I think I donât need to say her name
out loud for you,â she yammered, all in one breath and in a muffled tone. I
couldnât help but keep staring at her face.
It takes so much courage to give your love away, and she sounded courageous
at that moment.
âI still feel like it is wrong for you. Christina! I havenât seen Maynard in that light
in a very long time. So there is that issue as well.â I walked over to hold her
hands and make her understand I am not ready to be in a relationship with
anyone. However, I must admit that I donât hate or carry the grudges I used to
have against Maynard anymore.
His sight and presence gave me butterflies. But I wasnât going to tell her all that.
What if she is giving up on her love, thinking I want him?
âIt is fine. Just start looking at him in that light from now on. I just want
everybody to be happy. I am sure you will find your happiness in him.â She had
to force a smile onto her lips, but she was being genuine about her offer.
I didnât know how to proceed with her suggestion, but now that she has made it
clear that she is leaving Maynard, I might speak to her and try to see where the
emotions take us.
âJust talk to Maynard, okay? I want you two to be happy. As for Lazio, I think he
deserves to be with someone he loves, too.â She took a deep breath and
cleaned the tears from her cheeks to give me a genuine smile.
âWhat about you, Christina?â I asked, tilting my head and watching her bite her
lower lip.
âMaybe I will finally be able to find someone who loves me too?â She forced
herself to smile and then pulled me into a hug.
âI will be happy if all my friends are happy. Thatâs all I need.â she patted my back
lovingly before breaking the hug and eyeing me to get back into bed.
âNow get some rest so that you can feel better quickly. I will let Maynard know I
want to file for divorce so that you two can be together without worrying about
me, okay? Nov/ no more questions,â she pointed her finger at me to warn me
before walking out of the room.
She wasnât wrong. Maynard has loved me all along and has redeemed himself
too. I would rather be with him than with Lazio, who doesnât give a shite about
me.
But would Lazio let me go that easily?
