The dead he

Nicole was waiting for her husband's return from a work trip. He was supposed to arrived at that afternoon. She cooked lots of items for dinner and also adorned the house. She wore the best dress too.

And when she could not wait longer, she got a call. It was that dreaded call that changed her life. When she picked up the call, she heard noises in the opposite side. Then she was told something, she never thought. Her eyes were immediately full of water. She still said if the other person there was doing any wrong. But he insisted that her husband was no longer with them.

She rushed to the spot and saw that his car was burnt and he was burnt too. She could not recognize him anymore. She was feeling sick but had no choice. She had to start all the processes of his funeral.

He was buried and then all that was left of her husband was his ashes and clothes. Nicole could not wrap her head around the fact that it had really happened. She asked her husband by standing near his grave how that could happen as there were so many things they didn't get to do. She could not hold back herself and cried like a baby. Without him she was all alone in the world.

Suddenly she heard sobbing behind her back. She looked back and then saw a crying stranger with a baby in her arms was behind her. Nicole asked her if they knew each other. She again asked her if she knew her husband. The stranger crying lady replied that she knew her husband but she had no idea he was married. She said sorry to Nicole.

But she didn't understand anything and asked her what she was talking about. The other woman replied that her son was her husband's child. Nicole got angry because she knew her late husband. He was loyal to her. So, she asked her how she dared to say like that. She also asked her why she was lying. She also said that he could not have done that.

Nicole left the crying lady in the graveyard and tried to get it out of her mind. She didn't think that her husband was capable of that. She told herself that it could not be true. She walked back to her home but she could not wipe away the woman from her mind.

The following day she was in a store to buy groceries. The she ran into that lady there. She was in the counter and was about to pay the bill for her son's milk. But all her cents didn't sum up enough for the milk. She asked the lady in the counter if they had cheaper brands of milk as she didn't had enough money. She replied yes and was about to get it.

Nicole saw her counting her last money to buy milk for her baby. She felt sorry for her and went to her. She told her that she could give her some money and asked her how much she needed. She was astonished for Nicole's such behavior. But she took the money for the sake of her baby.

Then Nicole sat with her in a park bench. The stranger lady said that she was glad that she agreed to her her out. Nicole said sorry because of her losing temper the previous day. Then she asked her to tell her what happened. She said that her name was Krissy.

She continued saying that when she and Nicole's husband just met, he said that he was not married. Then she felt in love with him and when she got pregnant, he told her to get out of his life. She called him and texted him many times, but he never responded. And the present day she knew that he had Nicole. And it all made sense to her. The two woman could not hold back their tears. Nicole understood that her husband had been a scoundrel and it was not Krissy's fault.

However, Nicole sympathized with her and asked her to show her living place so that she could help her whenever needed. She took her in a old shabby place where no people can suppose to live. Nicole got shocked too and asked Krissy if she really was living there with her baby. She replied that she had no choice.

Nicole had a heart and she offered Krissy to move in with her. She was lonely and she and her baby would be better off living with her. Krissy thanked her for being so kind with them. And as days passed they became friends. Nicole helped her to raise her baby and also she didn't hold a grudge against her anymore.

A few months went by like this and it was night then. After dinner the two woman sat for a while and then said good night. Nicole told her to call her if she needed anything. They both went in sleeping.

It was midnight and then Nicole heard a strange noise in the living room. She got up and stepped down to the living room. She could still hear the noise and then switched on the light. She was petrified with horror. Hearing her screams, Krissy also came there. She was also in shock. Her husband was standing in front of them!

The three person was shocked. He spoke first asking Nicole what Krissy was doing there. But she asked how he still survived. She added that she thought he was not in the world anymore. He replied that he faked it to make Krissy leave him alone as he wanted to be with Nicole. He also said that he didn't need her and her baby and he did all for Nicole and him.

But Nicole got so angry with his words. She said that he had no shame. That very night she kicked him out of the house and forbade him to go anywhere near that house again. She also exclaimed that he had no heart. Her heart was breaking at his betrayal but she knew she was doing the right.

That night Nicole and Krissy realized that her husband was a jerk. She said that she could not believe she used to live with him. And Krissy said that she could not believe that she trusted him.

They never heard from him again. They became close friends and were always ready to give each other a hand. They thanked God for driving her ex-husband out of their lives.

Sometimes it may feel like fate is testing your strength. But you have got to believe, God does everything to make your life better.
