You Are Still My Wife! novel Chapter 26

Frieze was back home in the evening. She called up her parents informing about her arrival. Rose and David waited for her in the main hall. She greeted them and walked up to the room to change. While in the room, she felt like a knife stabbing her. This was her last few minutes in her bedroom that was once hers. She decided to take a shower first and call Julie to help her out in shifting her belongings to the guest room. This would be her last time that she will be using his bathroom too. She was nostalgic. As water from the shower ran down through her body, the flashback was making her heart pound. She started remembering her wedding, her entry to this room with all the flowery decorations and all the moments that made her feel so special. Her life was heaven and she does not regret keeping these memories in her heart. She wishes to cherish them forever.

She calls in Julie to help her move the luggage into the guest room for a few days until she finds a new apartment on rent. She cannot tell anyone for now as everyone will object to it. She needs to start hunting for a house from tomorrow and work at night searching for them. Julie informed her that Dori is supposed to be in the guest room as per Idri’s instructions. Frieze was shocked and wondered if he has already asked her to move-in with him, then why is he making her stay in the guestroom. She is a guest in the house now only for a few days and she would be living soon. Dori is the hostess and she should be the one staying in Idri’s room. She insisted upon shifting to the guest room. Julie was helpless. She was unhappy to see the sight in front of her but she had to follow the orders. Meanwhile, Simon comes home with the divorce papers. She sees a sweaty Frieze pushing the luggage with Julie to the other room next to the bedroom. Simon runs to help carrying the papers. He hands them to Frieze telling her about the papers. She stood there frozen. She told Julie to move away and he picked up the luggage at once to place it inside the room. Julie was impressed by his strength. She clapped with joy. Frieze who was zoned out came back to senses hearing her claps.

“Simon, thanks for coming. I will sign them and you can hand over to Idri. He has already signed the papers in office today and you are left to sign.”

“Oh, he is very quick to signing the papers. I will sign them now. You can take them to the court for submission.”

Julie was feeling awkward hearing the conversion. She offered to leave them alone.

“Why are you shifting to the guest room?”

“We are mentally divorced. We are left with the last string which will be broken once the divorce formalities are over. So, I am basically a guest here in this house and I don’t think I can stay with that man in the same room anymore.”

“You are a kid. What is a mental divorce? It is a brand new term for me. Haha.”

She closed her mouth trying not to laugh at his mocking. She quickly went into her room while Simon looked around the guest room admiring its interiors. He thought Idri has a good taste of interiors but not a good taste when it comes to Dori. But, he does not care anymore. Frieze is happy the way she is and all set to start a good life for a positive beginning.

She pulls the drawer takes a pen out and asks Simon for guidance on places where her signature is required. Simon with a heavy sigh points his fingers in the places where she signs attentively.

“Done. It is confirmed that we are divorced. My marriage ends today finally. I cannot believe but I guess this is what is written in my book of destiny.”

“Now, what is a book a destiny? Another new term for me. I learnt two new terms from your dictionary.”
