57. Embarrassed and Hurt
"Honey, I'm not going to let them put that needle in me." The loud, female yelling causes me to open my eyes slowly.
I blink few times to get back to my senses completely. The strong smell of medicines touches my nostrils. Astonishment trickles through me. I sit up quickly and look around. I'm in the emergency room of the hospital.
"Baby, it's just the small needle. It's not going to kill you." Male voice catches my attention.
I turn my head, narrowing my eyes. Two nurses are standing near a female patient's bed. One of them is holding a syringe. The patient seems to be around in her mid-twenties and the man who is standing at the other side of her bed is probably her husband.
The female is yelling quite loudly on the nurses, catching attention of other patients in the ward.
"Don't you know I'm scared of syringe?" She hollers, glaring at her husband.
Her husband moves his gaze around, looking embarrassed, "Stop it, please. Everyone is lookin

Matt demands.I uncover my face and looks at him with watery eyes, "I'm not lying. Do you want me to abort the baby? Please give me some time to think about it.""Why my son is denying?" Katherine comes forward."I don't know. Believe me, I'm telling the truth." I implore, sniffling.I think about Samara. Where is she? Did she know about it already?

Am I married? 59. Those False Allegations
Matt kept his words. I begin receiving different treatment from Ashar's parents. I'm told to transfer my belongings to the room, offered to me previously; the room that has a king-sized bed. I'm still not used to it. My phone now remains with me and Aaron has also stopped following me around. I got my space and privacy. However, he does work for me as a driver; pick and drop me to and from college. I tried convincing Katherine that it is unnecessary, that I'm more comfortable in Melanie's room, but she eventually persuaded me that it would be good if I get myself a permanent room where she can come and see me anytime. Their change of behavior I would say something positive that has happened in a long time. It's like a relief from continuous struggle and stress.

"I'm sorry, Mel. But I couldn't tell you the truth." She has brought me to her room and made me sit on her bed. "This is too much to swallow. How is this even possible?" She reacts with shock. "It's possible. I'm living this way every single day." I whisper. I want to weep or maybe scream in frustration. Samara has filled Ashar's mind with so much hatred for me that he's not ready to see the truth from his own eyes. He is seeing me through her eyes, the way she has portrayed my image in his head. "Tell me everything, darling." She caresses my cheek which is still burning due to Samara's physical assault. She grabs the ice bag and put it on my cheek. This time I did explain everything to Melanie, from the beginning till now without hiding even the smallest fact about me, including those reasons that stopped me from telling her the truth. She deserves to know. She is the only one who didn't make me feel lonely since I shifted here to thi

Am I married? 62. Big Brother's Wife
Sleep can sometimes work as an escape, an escape from reality. Therefore, these days I'm sleeping a lot. Most of the hours of the day, I sleep because it's the only way to disconnect myself from my merciless reality. I'm not even cooking for the Hobsons anymore because I'm feeling weak, not only mentally, but physically as well. Now that Ashar has thrown me out of his life, I'm trying the same. I'm trying to hate him. I'm trying to forget him that's why I'm using sleep as my stress-reliever. The hours I spend awake only distress me. My mind replays Ashar's words over and over again. On the other hand, now Ashar has told me his choice, so it's my time too. I should think of my decision as well. I want to go away from all this pain and suffering. I hear a knock on the door. I'm lying on my bed sluggishly, but turn my head to look who is there. An elegant woman in her early thirties steps inside. "Hello, Sanaya." Puzzled up, I rise to the sitting positio

Both Elle and Abby continued teasing me after our wild encounter. They call me names every time I come across in front of them, even try to embarrass me in front of other students.I assumed that they are actually taking their revenge because they are unable to acknowledge their defeat.

It's been quite some time since we last talked."Abby jeers, looking at her friend. Her eyes move to my snacks. In spur of moment, she snatches it from me.

He mocks, looking at me through the corners of his eyes.I shoot him a glare, trying to hide my embarrassment, "Drive fast. Your presence is suffocating me."

Hobsons arranges a grand celebration on New Year's Eve at their mansion. Ashar's parents have also invited me and insisted that I should be there too. It's my first party at the mansion and probably the last one as well. The celebration is arranged at the back side of the mansion as usual. Most of the Hobsons's events are organized at the backyard.
