You Are Still My Wife! novel Chapter 22

Frieze reached her parents home and both her parents stand right at the gate with questioning eyes. The caretaker is surprised too. The cook is in a rush to make her favourite dishes. She got late buying all the supplies. Frieze just called them up to inform her visit just after she boarded the plane. They had only two hours to make all the preparations. Her parents were worried that she left Idri's home after a while. But, as they saw a small suitcase that can hardly contain three pairs of clothing, they were relieved. However, they were still shocked to see her early morning right in their house. She did not look sad or disturbed.

She handed over the luggage to the caretaker who carried it inside. Frieze hugged her mother and father saying that she is very hungry. Her parents are aware of her hunger spree. She takes her inside the house and suggest her to change. She quickly kisses her mother and father on their cheeks and rushes to her room.

Her room still remains the same. The only thing changed is the fact that the person to whom this room belongs to does not stay here anymore. She is nostalgic about her times here. After she got married, she has not got a chance to come back to rejoice her old memories. She feels sad about the changes occurred in her life so quick. She opened the Mickey Mouse cupboard and all her clothes have been neatly folded in different sections. The dresses hung in the closet. She never liked folding her clothes and so, she used to just throw her clothes into the closet. She would call out for her mommy or the caretaker to find her clothes from the dump. She often complained about not having anything to wear while the closet is filled with clothes that one cannot even close the door properly. Her mommy was glad that she took some of her clothes to her husband's house and at last, the door could be closed firmly. Now you know why Idri was reluctant to tell her to pack all her clothes. The amount of clothes she had is equivalent to about ten people. Of course, she donates many of her clothes to NGOs but just to get filled-in soon.

Now that she remembers the old times, she is sad and at the same time happy to be back home. She takes a shower and wears her usual pajama with a baggy t-shirt. As she goes into the dining hall, her mother gets emotional to see her at home like the old Frieze who used to run to the hall to eat. She feels like she has gone back to time but she looks more mature now than before her wedding.

Frieze sits next to her dad and Mom is sitting opposite them. Dad looks at Frieze while serving her fried rice with tofu steaks. He speaks after serving, "So, what brings you here all of a sudden? You did not inform us. I called Idri but his cell phone was switched off. He didn't come along with you?"

Her mother inquired, "Is he not worried to send you alone here? Why he did not come along?"

Frieze was only feeling the pressure of the questions being shot at her. She needs to still remain calm and speak casually about the news. She gulped down a few spoons of rice and some water as she gets ready to speak, "Idri and I have decided to file for a divorce. We are just meant to be together. Please don't get worried about me. I have already decided to finish my work contract and shift back to B city. I don't want you both to get stressed out but support me in my new start of life okay."
