Bloodless Murder ( Her Story)

This isn't how things were supposed to be. What ever happened to the man she fell in love with? Whatever happened to the man she married? Why has love gone down the drain? Why doesn't he look at her anymore? Why won't he touch her? Why is he never home? Why? Why? Why? The questions keep ringing loud in her head, yet there's no one to provide her with definite answers.

Bose married John straight out of the university. He was her one true love and she liked to believe that she was his as well. They have been married for the past 7 years and yet they were still childless.  It's not that Bose didn't want a child, she did! But at the beginning of their marriage she had so much to do and felt having a child at that moment would be stressful and so they decided to wait on it for 2 years.

Somehow, 2 years increased to 7. Every time she brought up the issue of making a baby, John's only reply was, "in good time. We'll have a baby when the time is right." How many people would she explain to that after 7 good years of marriage her husband still thought the time wasn't right for a child? It's not like either of them was growing any younger. There was no way around it either. How would her husband that hasn't touched her in over a year 'mistakenly' get her pregnant?

Her mother-in-law wasn't making things any easier. The woman practically called her barren just the other day. If only she realized it was all her son's fault. Who would she tell her story to? All her friends have happy marriages and her marriage to John was voted most likely to last forever...this isn't supposed to be happening to her. Where did she go wrong?

She would do anything to have her husband back. She was tired of downing her worries and anxiety in a bottle of vodka. John hates it when he comes home and finds her drinking. He always looks at her in disgust. Doesn't he get it? Can he not see that he turned her into this monster?  She's going crazy and their's no one trying to keep her sane. He acts like nothing is wrong. Everything is wrong.

If only he could see how much pain he put her in. If only he could feel how her heart literally breaks everytime he turns away from her. If she's not good enough to talk to, not good enough to share his bed, not good enough to smile at...why is he still married to her? She's more of an housemate than a wife. Will she ever wake up again to find her pillow dry? The only one that could stay her bitter tears is the very one causing it.

Is this what the wedding vows,"for better or worse..." means?  Nobody told her marriage would be so hard. Nobody told her love would leave her so broken. There's no one to help her. She's all alone in her cold and very miserable world. This isn't supposed to happen to her...this isn't supposed to happen to  her....this isn't supposed to happen to her...

To be continued. ..
