Nova's point of view

When I finally reached home, the door had barely opened before Elsa came rushing downstairs. She stopped when she saw me, her eyes widened. “Nova?”

I said nothing. “Why are you home already? Did you see Reed?”

I walked past her, reached the couch, then collapsed.into it. Elsa immediately sat beside me. “What happened?”

I stared ahead, my lips pressed together, and then they trembled. One tear rolled down my cheek, then another. I covered my face. The sob that escaped me w

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    He came for the last time.

    Nova's point of view My eyes drifted back to Sarah as she reached for her glass, took a small sip, and leaned back. “ A neighbor helped me leave the village to this city. When I came here, I changed everything. My name, the way I dress and my appearance.” Her fingers slipped through the short strands. “I cut it because I didn't want anyone to recognize me.”I stared at her. “Wait. You mean you've always had short hair?”Sarah burst out laughing. “No.” She reached for her phone. “I used to look completely different.” She unlocked her phone, scrolled for a moment, then turned the screen toward us.My eyes widened. “God…You were really beautiful.”Sarah laughed.I looked from the picture to Sarah. The woman in the picture barely looked like the Sarah sitting beside me. Her hair was long, her face softer, and she had a beautiful, fuller figure. “You had a classic figure eight.”“Don't remind me.” She laughed.I smiled, handing the phone to Elsa. “Your daughter must have taken your beauty

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    A true life warning!

    Nova's point of view “Wait. Pregnant?” Elsa's voice shot across the room. She looked at Sarah like she'd just heard the most impossible thing in the world. “How? You just said he didn't really get his way. So how did he get you pregnant? Or did another guy come into the picture? Are we talking about a different man here?….”“Elsa.” I called softly. “What?” She threw her hands up. “I'm confused!”Sarah chuckled. She wiped beneath her eyes, but the smile on her face didn't last. “That question,” she said quietly, “ran through my head for two straight months.” She shook her head. “I couldn't believe I was pregnant. Every time I looked at that test and saw two lines, I laughed at the absurdity.”“Exactly!" Elsa burst out. Sarah lifted one shoulder. “Apparently, biology had an answer.”Elsa frowned. “Couldnt be possible. ”I sighed. “It is possible. Pregnancy can happen without complete intercourse if sperm reaches the vagina, even through limited sexual contact.”Sarah immediately po

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Some things are too difficult to believe

    Nova’s point of view When I finally raised my eyes back to Sarah, she was still staring at the floor. For the first time, I really looked at her. Not as my colleague, not as the woman who always smiled at work, laughed at the stupidest jokes, and somehow managed to make everyone around her feel like everything was fine. I looked at her, and suddenly, I noticed things I had somehow missed. The faint lines beneath her eyes. The tiredness settled into her face. The little creases around her mouth that didn't belong to someone who was always smiling. Her shoulders seemed heavier now. How had I never noticed? How many times had I sat beside this woman, complained about my own problems, laughed with her, worked beside her, without realizing she was carrying something this enormous? My chest tightened. Sarah slowly lifted her eyes. “Mark paid for my sister's treatment.” Her voice was quiet. “He paid every hospital bill. He made sure she got the care she needed. Then he sent me back to scho

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury     The pain of a mother

    Nova's point of view “Hi. I'm sorry. I didn't call before coming. I just wanted to see Nova. Is she in?” “Of course. You can come in anytime.” Elsa said, opening the door wider. My eyes lifted from the couch. “ Sarah?" A smile immediately touched my lips.Sarah walked straight toward me..“Are you okay?” Before I could answer, she wrapped her arms around me. Tightly, almost desperately. I stiffened for half a second, then hugged her back. When she finally pulled away, Elsa was standing a few feet away with one eyebrow raised. I gave her a questioning look, she only shrugged.Sarah sat beside me. “Since the last time we met, I just couldn't stop thinking about you,” she said. “I thought I should come and see you in person.”“Oh.” I smiled faintly. “Thanks.” But Sarah didn't smile back. Her fingers remained folded tightly in her lap. She looked at Elsa, then at me. Her lips parted. She seemed to be searching for a way to arrange the words inside her head before letting even one escap

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    My support system

    Nova's point of view The shock on my face was humiliating. My mouth dropped open, my mind racing with different questions. Elsa grabbed both my hands. “Nova! You are really having a baby!” She laughed, almost breathless.I finally closed my mouth, my eyes glued to her face “Wait.” Her smile faded slightly. “You're not angry?”“Angry?” She looked genuinely offended by the question. “Why would I be angry?”Elsa squeezed my hands. “Who gets angry when someone receives a blessing?”I didn't answer..A tiny smile tugged at her mouth..“Do you remember when we were kids? When we used to play house together, you hated it, while I always played the mother.” She laughed, then her expression softened. “I always told you I wanted children. So many of them that our house would be impossible to keep quiet.”I smiled faintly..“I thought you were just being childish.”“I was.”.She shrugged..“But I wasn't wrong.”.Her eyes dropped to my stomach again..“This isn't something you should be ashamed of.”My

The sob that escaped me was quiet, but it shook my entire body. Elsa didn't ask another question, she simply moved closer, reached for my head and gently placed it against her shoulder, her hand moving slowly over my back.Neither of us spoke. The room grew quiet around us. I don't know when the night passed, but when I opened my eyes again, a pale glow slipped through the curtains, slowly spreading across the room. Somewhere outside, birds had already begun their morning chorus, while my head was resting against a pil
