- Soulless Place
Juan Luis
This separation is proving to be very difficult for me. It will soon be a month since
something is missing, but I can’t identify what it is
[returned home. The anxiety in my body is something unfamiliar. I feel like
I can’t deny that my mother’s house is comfortable, yet there’s something that keeps me awake at night. When I went to drop off the kids, I thought I would find the answer upon entering, but I am no longer welcome there. When my son took the key from me, I knew that there was no place for me in that house anymore.
I must admit that it hurts. That had been my home for almost seven years. The house i gifted to Amelia when things finally started going well for us. I still remember her beautiful face, happy to have a place just for us, and the joy of my children running everywhere.
It was a great sacrifice, as the mortgage was high, but thanks to my rising success in the company, I was able to pay it off early. The day I handed the deed to Amy, she cried with happiness. We celebrated with friends with a big meal. It was also our ninth anniversary. That date seems to be tied to many important moments in the relationship my wife and I had
My wife. Soon she will no longer be my wife and will become my wife. My chest hurts just thinking about it. I failed her in all the promises I made. While she stayed home fulfilling her role perfectly I went out and found what I didn’t expect. An opportunity to start something new with someone
I decide to go to Ksity’s apartment. I have neglected her a lot these days. Since the day I left the hospital. I haven’t seen her From the messages she has sent me, I know she misses me, so I go to see her. At this hour, she should be there, as she didn’t tell me she was going out
I drive slowly because the dizziness hasn’t completely left me. When they were about to discharge me after the crash, we discovered that I couldn’t stand for long without fainting, so they kept me under observation for a few days. During that time, my mother told me they didn’t find my phone in the car, so I was out of touch during those days.
She didn’t want to lend me her phone to call Amy, so I had to wait until I was finally allowed to leave. Although deep inside, I was afraid of that happening because I would have to face all the consequences of my actions
I never expected Amelia not to reveal to others that she was my legitimate wife. There, everyone thought Katty was my girlfriend, and I didnt correct them. I knew Amy wouldn’t come back. She has always been very proud, and she let me know from the beginning that if I cheated on her, it would be our definitive end. Maybe that’s why I was afraid to confess the truth to her.
But that truth appeared before her and now I can’t do anything I can only accept that now I only have my girl. I know we will be happy. From the beginning, she has been considerate and never demanded that I leave my family, but I want to do it. I know her family will ask us to get married as soon as possible, but I still have to resolve my separation and make sure my previous family lacks nothing.
Thinking about all this, I arrive at Katty’s. I get out slowly and close the car’s door. I walk to the dour and ring the bell. After two attempts, the door finally opens.
“Honey, what are you doing here? I thought you were with your kids.” I enter the house, and my girlfriend gives me a kiss. It seems that was what I needed. I pull her towards me to hug her She smells nice. She always smells nice. But her perfume is a bit cloying. I would like her to use something softer. Amy always ked to smell soft, feminine, but discreet. Since we started seeing each other in a different way. Katty stopped using her usual perfume so that it wouldn’t be noticed at home, but now that she no longer has to hide, she uses it without moderation
Hi honey, well after I dropped the kids off at their house, I felt like something was missing, and I supposed it was you, so I came to see you and spend the whole aftemoon with you. Are you going out?” I notice she is dressed to go out
“Yes, love, I agreed with the university guys to celebrate one of the group’s friends, but you can come with us. I’m sure there won’t be any problem with you coming, and you’ll have fun. They are all very nice.” I don’t know what to answer. The truth is, I wanted to be alone with her, but it seems it won’t be possible.
“No love, better go by yourself, so you can have fun. But I wait for you here until you come back. How long will you be? 2-3 hours?” Katty bursts into a joyful laugh. I don’t really know what she’s laughing about, but I play along and smile slightly.
Today you’re very funny love. Well, normally those parties last until two or three in the morning. But 111 try to come back by one. Is that okay?” she asks with a pout I must not forget that she is still very young and wants to have fun. I can’t take that away from her when what we have can’t be official yet.
“That’s fine, love, I’ll stay for a while and then I go to my mother’s house. Don’t worry, I’ll be here. Katty hugs my body to give me a very deep kiss. That’s what I love about her. She’s very passionate. I’m sure when we’re intimate, we’ll set the room on fire.
*Wright. There are things in the fridge if you want to prepare something to eat, or you can order something. So, I’ll leave you? My girl grabs her bag and leaves, blowing me a kiss in the air. When I’m alone, I look around for a place to sit. I decide to go to the bedroom to lie down for a while. I forgot my medication for dizziness and will wait for it to pass, then fil leave
care of our children. Those were
Her room is typical for a girl her age. Twenty–two years old. At that age, I was finishing university and starting internships while Amy took care of our good days. We never enjoyed life like Katty does, who usually spends her time partying when we don’t see each other.
ile on my side because can’t get comfortable here. Since i’m not at my house, it’s hard for me to fall asleep. Nowhere do I feel comfortable. The smell of the sheets and pillows feels strange to me. I decide it’s better to get up. I take a few steps around the spacious bedroom, but I don’t fit here. It’s better to go to the living room and watch Something on TV
sit on the couch, but nothing appeals to me. I think it’s better to go to my mother’s house. I’ve wanted to delay going to her house because I know that when I ask her about what my children told me, she will try to manipulate me as she always does. She has always been my weakness, and since she knew I was dating Amy, her enmity towards her was born. Unlike Katty, whom she loves to have over.
I never understood what really triggered her antipathy towards my wife. Amy has always been sweet and kind. She even meminded me of my parents‘ birthdays and important dates and took care of buying the gifts. But my mother never appreciated it
I let out a long sigh and get up to take my keys and leave. I stop and turn to look at the whole place from the door. It’s a beautiful place, but without a soul.
