My Other Love

It was one sunny day when I saw her. She went passed me, purposely slowed down in front of me, enough to catch my attention. One look at her, I was hooked. She was dressed in orangey red with a slim, sexy body to show. Her movement was slow and deliberate but graceful. How can one not fall in love with her? Yes, Sir, line & sinkers I was totally hooked. Dazed and falling heel in love, I got to know her and have her.

In the next few weeks, I kept looking out for her. One day I saw her again. Yes, she looked exactly the same as I saw her the first time. I introduced myself and her laugh was soothing and she purred like a cat. I knew, she knew we were destined for each other.

I cannot lie; it is a sin to tell a lie. I cannot sleep. I must tell my wife about her. One fine day, I told her about this beauty. She was furious with me. “You cannot have her. It is covetous”, she screamed at me. I told her I cannot live without her; please don’t make choose between both of you. For a minute, there was a silence, then, with a soft voice, she said “ok, but promise me that you will not neglect me, you will continue to love me, and you will come home every night”. I was so happy and I promised her.

Our love affair went for eight years. It was a memorable happy eight years. She gave me so much pleasure. How much more can I asked? She is like every woman that needs assurance now & then. She loves to hear you whisper “I love you”. You have to pamper her. Every now & then she will be moody, throwing up tantrums, you have to stoke her, caress her and hold her gently.

The last 2 years, she was behaving badly. She started playing up. She felt stifled and cooped up. No matter what I said or do she refused to listen. “I want to travel. I want to see the world. I want the wind blowing into my hair. I want to feel free & young again” she exclaimed. “All you do is to go to work & back, you do not take me anywhere” she shouted, “It is so boring”.

I was sad. How can she say those harsh hurting words? Doesn’t she know I have commitments – bill to pay, food to put on the table and my promise to my wife? Why is she like that? I cannot live like that anymore, it is so stressful. After some deep thinking, yes, I was being unfair. She needs someone younger to love her, to give her what she wants. I guess I have to let her go, give her freedom and let her live her life.

Last 2 month, we parted company. She was happy, she found a new love. He is tall and handsome. He is young & full of life. His parents are rich and he can give her what she wants – new clothes, latest and top of the range hi-fi system to play her favorite music, expensive make up, expensive makeover and detoxification clinic to make her feel young and vigorous again.

I was sad to see her go and yet happy to see she had her life back again. It was like the first time I saw her. I cannot complain. She loved me and gave me her best years. I will treasure these memories. Good bye love, I wish you the best.
