A Perfect Marriage?

Part 1

She was crying for the whole night and woke up with a puffy eyes.She already loss all happiness that she felt inside,the marriage that she thought will be a fairytale is over.The realities of happy married life are sinking in.

She gazed into his eyes,smile formed on her lips "I love you,"she said to the man infront of her.She could imagine how her life would be with him.

She walks to the kitchen and cleaning all the mess from last night.

They fight again.

Sigh!she's crying again,fell to the floor hugging her knees.Her tears rolled down her cheeks effortlessly.

She was hurt physically and mentally

She remembered how he hugged her so tightly when she was crying and how he kissed her on the cheeks just to make her smile again but now not anymore she only had herself to comfort her.

After crying for over an hours,she started to picked up herself again.

"You bitch!"

She moved her hand down toward her lips but did not dare to touch them.Her bruised lips had swollen,and then she looked at her upper arms.

Sigh! opening up the medicine cabinet,she takes out a cream for the bruises and walk to the corner of her bed.

She wincing when she put some cream on the lips.Last night she did not feel so much pain but this morning she feel like her body just fall from the high building.

He slapped her across the cheeks and she fall down to the floor.

She look at herself in the mirror trying to think how to cover the bruises on her cheeks.

It was bad enough, no amount of the makeup in the world was going to cover that.

When she arrive at her workplace, she make sure everything is okay.

Adding some of the concealer on the bruises.

She  feel like everyone is looking at her.

She greet them with a fake smile even though it still can show how fake it is.

She just sat on her seat when she received a text message from her husband

"I'll be late tonight no need to wait for me" No sorry just a reminder.

She put her head down on the table.She felt empty.

"Are you alright?", She peeked through half-closed eyes and saw her co-workers and bestfriend,Lilliey.

She rested her back on the seat "I'm just tired...with everything",she said.

Lilliey touch her cheeks and she wincing when her fingers grazed the spot.

"What happen?", Lilliey frown

"I fell"she lied.Why would she lied when it shows how mess up she was.

Lilliey did not say anything but she hold both of Erina hand and caressing it like to reassure her that everything will be fine.

Her lips quivered as she try not to cry.

She try not to show all the emotion the weakness but how could she?

Lilliey pull her body close to her and hug her so tightly "I will be here for you no matter what happen".

Nodded.Maybe she just in the bad phase of luck, maybe she will find her happiness again.Someday.

She arrives home at late night.The house was in the pitch black, no one homes except her.

She lights up the house and walk to the bedroom.

Removing every piece of her clothes before taking a shower.

As she lay down she remembered everything that has happened last night.

She sat on the corner of the bed crying helplessly,tried to make out what she had done today to make him furious.

He yelled and cursing her ,called her bad names and telling how he regretted for this marriage.

He pulled her hair and yanked her to the floor,slapping her hard on the cheeks.

She couldn't make any words as she was crying hardly.She did not feel the pain but she was scared....scared for her life.

When she thought it was over, he dragged her body toward the bathroom and he reached for a cold water.She knew what was to come next.

She wanted to fight back but the amount of energy that she loss today was too much

She couldn't hear his voice but could make out the words BITCH!from his mouth as he walked out of the door.

She just lay down on the cold floor ,so wounded and cried histerically.

Tears rolled down on her cheeks.
