The 1st and 2nd day

My last memories were of you being led away in handcuffs by a female police officer.
You did not turn back to look at me even when you were led away.
Sorrow came.

I have no time to entertain it though. There were more to be done.

I went home, alone, from now on, I must survive a hundred days, a hundred days without you by my side. I never thought I would be so weak and lost without you by my side. All along, I thought I was your pillar of strength and support, turned out that it was the other way round.

I washed and packed your clothes, they were there, constantly reminding me that you are here. I lied on the bed, thinking if you were thinking of me as well. The world became a muddle.

I suddenly recalled that I had to clear up some of the mess. I called your manager. He was shocked, and with a hint of mistrust, I could tell. I told him the truth 'cause at that point that was the best and only solution.

I fell asleep.

I woke up.

I went to work.

I finished work.

I started thinking of other loose ends... The kids, what am I to do with them? I can't leave them with your ex-husband, I can't take care of them, I need to make a visit to their nanny. And it better be quick.

Rest assured I will do my best for you.

Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting
That would not let me sleep. Methought I lay
Worse than the mutines in the bilboes. Rashly—
And prais'd be rashness for it—let us know
Our indiscretion sometimes serves us well...
-William Shakespeare, Hamlet
