"You did what!" I shouted, under the influence of a temporary
amnesia which made me forget she had pleaded with me not to raise my
voice. "I got married" Sally repeated. Your first statement was as
audible as the second I retorted.
Unable to comprehend her apparition, I concluded she had
gone crazy. However, a second look at the absolutory figure before me
brought to memory her afore plea. This calmed me down a bit and with a
subdued tone I inquired who the guy was.
Her eyes travelled forth and back to the entrance with mine
accompanying hers each mile of the way. Nonetheless, my organ of
speech took a walk from her duty post as I stood helpless unable to
fathom the sight. With my eyes traveling quizically to the figures
before me, I finally called it a halt on the masculine figure.
Lo and behold, before me was my ex-fiance who called it a
quit a day before our wedding exactly two months ago. Lost in
plausibility, I became overwhelmed by a stream of thoughts which
aroused inumerable questions within me. How did they get together? How
can one who stood by me when I resigned to alcohol do such a thing?
Still in recapitulatory mode, I recalled how Sally made me
forget my troubles and helped me bounce back to life again. With my
organ of speech now slowly recuperating all it could mutter was why?
"We fell in love", she timidly replied. Love! Love! The sound of the
word resumed my memoric voyage as I still couldn't comprehend the
happening.
Running out of patience I unreluctantly queried; the
deed has been done, why then are you here? "To seek your forgiveness",
they feverishly muttered. Out! I shouted suffering from a temporal
inability to comprehend the word.
Reminiscizing after their departure I remembered a quote I had read
somewhere that said " the saddest aspect of betrayal is that it rarely
comes from your enemies" I wept like never before and cursed the day I
met Sally.
