MY wife

Sunday has come. Cecilia got upset, since she had organized a baby-grandparent photo shoot to this Sunday morning a month ago, for which she would take Nicholas. Dominic kindly offered me to go ahead, so I could at least deal with the big boys, because if the little one was there, I wouldn't put him down anyway, and they would be surely jealous. So I arrived at 10 a.m. while the others just came around lunchtime.

"I've finally come to your mind! We haven't seen you for a year!"

That's how my mother greeted me.

"We also talked on skype last week…"

I tried to alleviate my guilt.

"Don't talk back! Come in!"

My father said.

"Just a moment…"

I opened the trunk of the car.

"Boys, come help bring the presents in!"

I shouted to the children. Of course, Kevin also showed up. I gave the packages into their hands and then we went into the house.

"Wow! That's cool!"

Adrian took out the dedicated soccer ball and Alex took out the dedicated guitar. With Dominic���s connections, it wasn't hard to get my son's idols autographs.

"Thanks, Mom!"

They jumped happily around my neck.

"Not bad."

Dad looked at the expensive watch, and Mom admired the perfumes.

"How did you have the money for these?"

The question came from Dad as we went out to the kitchen to see how lunch was.

"Well, my boss is very generous…"

"Oh, he could be a normal person. It would be good to know."

My mother made the not-so-serious hint, which I immediately struck.

"As a matter of fact, you can get to know him today, because I invited him to lunch."

I smiled confidently. There was silence.

"What?Who?"

Dad snorted first.

"You need one more tableware at lunch."

"What?"

Mother began to process as well.

"Don't worry, he's a really great person."

With that, I left them and went back to the living room before exploring the subject deeper.

" Alex… did your face got swollen?"

I looked more closely at my son.

"Oh… don't even mention it… my teeth had to be pulled out. Is it very visible?"

"Not that bad."

I waved.

"But there was never a problem with your teeths, what happened?"

"Never had a problem?"

Laughed Adrian.

"In the past year we have had to drill 10 teeth… the dentist already knows us from the other end of the street."

"Oh…"

I looked at Kevin questioningly, but he just feigned ignoarance. Well that's it, I warned them, but they didn't listen to me. They deserved it. I know…they are my kids, and I love them..really, but I was laughing hard in myself.

"Hanna, can we talk for a minute?"

Kevin nodded toward the garden.

"Of course."

We stepped out the door .

"Where's Mili?"

"With her parents."

"I see. Well, what do you want?"

"Come back to me."

"Kh… "

I suddenly swallowed the air…

"You…say what?!"

' I heard it right, what I heard…?'

"It was a mistake to divorce… I blamed you for years for depriving me of the chance of true love, even though you were the real one all along."

I couldn't react.

'What? Are you serious about this now? After all those shit I've been through, do you think I'm still in love with you?'

He left me, but he seriously thought I was going to take him back, or what? You gotta be kidding. Of course I still let him beg for a nonexistent second chance, before the cruel endgame. And it felt so good…

"How did you come come up with this?"

"Actually, I realized soon enough that Mili wasn't suitable for a wife. I wanted to tell you this, when you left for America, but I reached you too late."

"And tell me, has Mili lived with you for the past year?"

I asked the big question.

"Yes..but only because of the children…".

" Oh, really?"

'Go and joke around with someone else you motherf***er!'

I wanted to say this, but I was too well educated for that term.

"And what is it in me, what she doesn't have?"

"Well, it is a fact that he's younger and prettier than you…"

Did he wanted to be driven away or did he want to get me back? I seriously wanted to hit the man…

"But we have nothing in common other than our hobbies. Although the kids are fond of her… but sex is just not good with Mili."

"Ha…"

So the wind blew from here.

"Just don't tell me, you were self-restrained and only slept with her after the divorce."

'I found a condom in the car, I know you fucked her. '

"I thought we'll work it out, actually, I thought that my guilt is what ruining the sex… but after that I couldn't enjoy it with anyone else…"

"Anyone… else?"

'So you've already cheated on her?'

I had just taken a breath to send this bastard to the fuck… when…

"Honey!"

Dominic appeared in his arms with Nic.

"Honey?"

Kevin noticed.

"Dominic!"

I ran towards my husband and took over my little son.

"Was everything alright on your way here?"

"There was no problem. "

Dominic walked over to Kevin.

"Dominic Menzer, Hanna's husband, Nice to meet you."

He held out his hand with a smile.

" Kevin, Hanna's ex-husband."

He didn't shake his hand with a smile on his face.

"Oh, are you the ex-husband? Dude a thousand thanks for throwing MY wife away! It was the greatest luck of my life to meet her."

Dominik patted him on the back, then turned to me and we went into the house.

When I entered with a man in a suit on my side and a little prince in my arms, the air froze too. Now came the hardest part of the day.

"Guys, I'm introducing Dominic, my husband. And this is Nicholas your brother. Mom, Dad… now you have 3 grandchildren."

I smiled so hard, that my face hurt properly. Before my mother could decide to pass out or grab a rolling pin, Dominic made a move.

"Mother-in-law, Father-in-law!"

He hugged them.. My mother blinked and a diamond necklace hung around her neck, a Tiffanis box was already in her hands, with a matching bracelet and earrings. My father received a gold seal ring and a precious whiskey, the price of which he could have bought a new car…

Pathetic or not, that was enough for my parents.

"My dear son! Welcome in the family!"

My mother hugged him immediately. Yes, we are this materialistic.

"Boys, your mom didn't say what you needed, so I bought this and that… what you don't need, feel free to throw away."

Then Daniel and two other workers arrived and began to carry the packages. New phones, laptops, tablets, xbox, ps… of all the latest and best equipped… .in addition to his gifts, mine rivaled the value of a bar of chocolate.

"Thanks… thanks…"

"Dominic. Just call me Dominic."

"Thanks Dominic!"

Well, the boys liked money better, too.

"What are you doing anyway?"

Kevin finally spoke.

"Oh, nothing special.."

He said.

"I just have an international hotel chain."
