PAINFUL MARRIAGE 12
Selena's POV
"I don't deserve you, you know? I tortured you for two years and I'm really stupid. I-I don't want you to think I'm doing this because we're going to have a baby. No, even if we don't have a baby yet I'll still do this. The moment I saw you walked out and cried because of that kitchen incident, everything hit me and made me realize things. I want to take you back, Selena. I won't promise anything because I know promises are meant to be broken just like what our family's promises," he sob. I also wiped away the tears when I remembered our parents.
"I won't promise anything. I just wanted to do my best to be a good father to our child and to become a good husband to you from now on. It hurts so much that you went miserable through with me and I don't want that to happen. I wanted to care for you, be there when you need me, I will always be on your side in your journey in this pregnancy and for the rest of your lives. I know this is impossible to believe but I love you, Selena. I really do. I tried to cover my love for you with anger ... b-because I blame you for the loss of our parents. I-I'm sorry. I know you are not really at fault and everything is just an accident but I try to believed what was on my mind. I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry... "
My crying husband sank into my thigh. He nonchalantly say sorry and that he didn't deserve me. It pained me to see him cry like this. Baby and I are also hurting because he is crying. I wiped away my tears and hugged Emerson. At this point he was in my stomach, just being careful, it looks like he is afraid that he'll hurt our baby. He hugged my waist tighter and cried like a baby on my stomach.
"Shh... It's okay, Em. It's okay," I sniff. "I already forgave you. If God forgave us, why didn't I? You're sorry is enough for me, Em. And... your love. That's enough for me," I said to him.
He shook his head like a child. I can still hear his small sobs. I tried to lift his body so that our faces would be leveled. I sighed because his face was blurred by tears. I gently wipe it with my hands and I smiled at him.
"Stop crying, hmm? I already forgave you, Em. Everything is okay now," I said. I kissed his reddened nose. I took one of his hands and brought it close to my stomach.
"Our baby said whe should stop crying. He / she may be sad because we're both crying. So, let's stop, hmm?" I gently said. He closed his eyes firmly and took a deep breath. I smiled when he hugged my waist and buried his face on my neck.
"God, I'm so lucky to have you but I don't deserve you, baby. Damn!" He said and gasped.
"I love you," I countered him. I felt him stop there and breathe again. I giggled as I felt his kiss on my neck.
"I love you, Selena...."
