Sans Birthday

Le soir de Noël, j'avais préparé un somptueux dîner, mais minuit a sonné sans que mon mari, Sylvain Naudé, ne rentre à la maison. Ma fille m'a tendu son téléphone : « Maman, regarde… Papa est chez cette femme ! » Sur les réseaux sociaux, Sylvain avait publié une photo où il échangeait un sourire complice avec Céline, son amie d'enfance. Entre eux se tenait un enfant d'une dizaine d'années, et devant eux trônait un gâteau en forme de cygne blanc. La légende disait : « En ce jour si spécial, avec vous, les plus précieux. » Mon cœur a sombré. Six ans d'amour n'avaient pas suffi à rivaliser avec des liens tissés depuis l'enfance. D'accord, j'acceptais ma défaite.

C'est un pêcheur qui m'a trouvée au petit matin. Quand il a balancé son appât, ce dernier s'est agrippé à moi et ne voulait plus s'enlever. Alors il s'est approché et m'a vue dans l'eau. Il a eu tellement peur qu'il est parti en courant sans même prendre sa canne, pour appeler la police. Quand les policiers m'ont récupérée, j'étais à deux doigts de la mort. Même les médecins n'avaient plus d'espoir à me réanimer. Quand l'hôpital a appelé mon mari, pour qu'il signe mes soins, il préparait une soupe chaude pour son premier amour. Il n'avait pas le temps de venir. Plus tard, il est en larmes, suppliant pour un regard de ma part.

Alors qu'on m'a tranchée morceau par morceau, j'ai trouvé la force d'appeler mon frère. Il a décroché quand ma conscience s'est brouillée, avec une voix pleine d'agacement. « Qu'est-ce que tu veux encore ? » « Alex, sauve-moi… » Je n'ai pas fini ma phrase qu'il m'a coupée net. « Comment se fait-il que tu aies toujours des histoires ? À la fin du mois c'est la fête d'Élise Dubois, si tu ne viens pas, je te fais la peau ! » Après ces mots, il a raccroché sans hésiter. La douleur m'a vaincue, j'ai fermé les yeux pour toujours, avec des larmes encore aux coins de mes yeux. « Alex, tu n'as pas besoin de me tuer, je suis déjà morte. »
