EIGHTEEN: I WANT YOU

[Shaira’s POINT OF VIEW ]

"What do you mean by that? Don't tell me you're going to file a divorcement?" I asked.

If it's the case, I might break down if everyone knows how much I love this guy beside me. I'm not mentally, physically, or emotionally prepared for it.

"You had a wild imagination. Why would I want to get separated from my heart?" Jhotam replied.

I know my age, yet I'm still falling in love again like a teenage girl. His words were always sweet and without pretense.

"What if cupid pulled out the arrow inside my heart? Let's say I'll be the one to file a divorce. What would you do?" I know it's shameless of me to ask such an absurd question.

"I'll sign it right away," he replied.

My world stopped upon hearing his unbothered response. I think my heart is breaking without creaking, but I get a hold of myself and prepare for the next thing he might utter.
