Chapter 22

Zachariah

I was at a loss for words. There was nothing I could possibly do as I stood, trying to blend in with all the other people that were out and about on this nice warm spring day. I couldn’t believe that she was here, almost within reach.

She sat on the bench, next to a woman that had red hair who had a little red haired girl chatting away instead of playing with the other kids who were playing on the slides and jungle gym. A black stroller sat in front of both women.

From where I stood, I wasn’t able to hear them. I wished that I could. I should just step up and show myself. Instead, I stayed put, watching the love of my life.

She looked perfectly healthy and untouched. Her light blond hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, showing off her slender neck. She looked happy. How could she after we had been apart for so long? She couldn’t have forgotten me, could she?

My heart, which had yet to heal, broke again. How could she be so happy? Didn’t she suffer from leaving me? How could she willingly give up on us, run away, and look like nothing had happened between us?

I couldn’t believe it had been almost seven months ago that she left me without a word. Her wedding ring was burning a hole in my pocket, as I refused to go anywhere without it.

She said something to the little girl, and finally, she ran off to play with a couple of other children.

I slowly made my way to her, being mindful I couldn’t be seen. Not yet. I had to make sure I would be welcomed. It had been so long. It felt like years to me when it had only been a little less than a year since I saw her.

What was I planning to do? I had no idea. I didn’t know what the right thing to do was. Would she even hear me out? Would Avidya want to see me? Or would she kick me in the balls and demand a divorce?

I had promised myself that I would just see her. I didn’t plan to ever approach her. Not until I knew what I was walking into. I had no idea if she moved on with another man. I had no idea if that would even be a question. We were still fucking married, for God’s sake!

There was a tree behind the bench Avidya sat on. I took the chance to sit down, leaning against it so I could hear what they were saying. I kept my face hidden under my hat. The green grass was slightly damp from this morning’s watering, but it was the least of my concerns.

Luckily, I wore shorts and a loose shirt, so I looked just like a jogger. No one would know it was me.

No one even knew I was here. Not my father. Not my brother. Not even my guards. I was here as secretly as my wife was.
