The dinner is over and although I enjoyed it , I forgot I have to now clean up. I look around and all I can do is shake my head. I go to put the last of the dishes in the sink and that where I saw it under another dish. A bloody knife. At first I didn’t even know what I was looking at. You know how you see something but trying to convince yourself it’s not what it looks like.That was me standing there looking and not wanting to touch it. It’s looked like dried blood so I know it was blood and not the sauce I used for the food. I wonder how long was it in there and why was it in there.
I put the dishes i had in my hand in the sink and got my brown towel out of the drawer and pick up the knife. I folded it up in the towel for later. After cleaning the kitchen. I called my husband to ask him about the knife.
A few days ago
“Baby , you have to work late again that’s every night this week”.Every night at midnight, he gets up to leave for work. “You ask me this every time I get up to leave” “I’m just saying it’s getting dangerous out with all these women getting killed and missing I get afraid to stay here all night by myself” He kisses my forehead and look me in the eyes and tell me I will be alright.
That didn’t help at all.I lay back down and go to sleep. I wake up it’s morning and there he is sleeping right next to me. Like clockwork I turn on the news and the first story on the news is a woman going missing and they found blood in her apartment. “This is so crazy”I whispered “Good morning my husband kisses me” “Good morning how was work” “It was good , did you sleep well” “Yes but I missed you” “I missed you too”
Thinking about a few a days ago…could it be his? “ Honey, can you come here a minute? Ken comes in the kitchen “Yes, honey” Umm, I found something and I was wondering where it came from? I turn around and open the towel and pick up the knife with the towel of course.I turn around and he looks at the knife and start shaking his head. “You just couldn’t wash it and put it away. How can you be so stupid” I looked at him surprised. I didn’t even recognize my husband anymore. He comes towards me and grabs my arm. “Give me the knife” My hand and arm gets week and I drop the knife. While he bends down to pick it up I turn to run.I don’t know where I was going but I wanted to get away from him. I run to the front and just as I opened it he came up from behind me and closed the door “Where do you think your going ?” “Get off of me” I still don’t understand why he’s acting like this. I pulled away from him and run to the phone. I grab the phone and say to him “If you come closer I will call 911” He starts laughing and say “just like all those women did right before I killed them” “Oh my god ,you?” “Yes ,me they were weak women who couldn’t mind their business so I had to shut them up just like I am going to do to you.” I looked quick while he charged at me and I grabbed the vase off of the dresser and hit him with it. It knocked him out so I immediately called 911 and went outside to wait for them.
The cops came and I tell them what happened and that he’s inside. They go inside and come out and says “Ma’am , there’s no one inside”. I looked at him and said “Yes, yes he’s on the living room floor” Ok they go back inside but before he does he’s stopped by another officer He comes over to me and tells me “ma’am ,there’s no one in there” I looked at him with wide eyes. “What do you mean?” I pushed past them to go where I knew I left him and he’s gone. I gasped and started looking for him.”This can’t be ,he has to be here.” “It’s ok, we will find him.”
Melinda knows that it’s time to reveal to her husband where she goes every night. Her husband Ben thinks she works as a waitress at the local over night diner. Tonight she will tell him the truth. She didn’t bother the get dressed just her comfy robe.She decides to cook this big dinner tonight. All of her husbands favorites like Baked chicken , Asparagus and Brown rice. Also a little red wine doesn’t hurt.After she’s done cooking they sit down to eat. She hope he can take what she is about to tell him. “Honey, all of this looks good. I’m surprised you are home tonight. What they have another waitress doing your shift.?” “ No, tonight I decided to cook and spend time with you. I also wanted to talk to you.” “Great, let’s eat. What do you want to talk to me about?” “ I know that you are wondering what I do every night and where do I go.” “Yes, I do at times but I know what you do you work at Ram Cooks as a waitress. I just wish you wouldn’t work all night. I didn’t think that place would be that busy over night. “Well I have a confession , I don’t work there and that’s not where I’m going at night. “It’s not?” “No” Melinda stands up and tells her husband “Honey I hope , you are ready for what I’m about to show you.” She unties her robe slowly and reveals her Supergirl suit.” Ben’s mouth drops open and smiles. “Ooh , I like role playing but let me finish dinner first” No honey, this is what I do. I am Supergirl. At first he thought she was kidding but he realized that he was standing in front of the real Supergirl. “Oh my god, is this a joke?” “What do you think?I love you too much to keep this secret anymore. “So , let me get this straight while I’m sleeping your not waiting tables your fighting crime.” “Yes” “How?….when?” When I was in college, we had a project so I made mine a superhero suit but while working on it I plugged my phone in one hand and a scissors in another I got shocked and the suit as well when I put it on to make sure it was ok the suit started making me do things I never did before and from there it gave me powers that I didn’t even know I could do. Once I put it on I become Supergirl mind and body” “Wow ,I don’t know what to say.” “I hope this don’t make you want to leave me” “Leave you !!! what are you talking about?” “This is all so crazy, I thought you would head for the hills” “Honey” Ben starts to laugh it will take more than you being Supergirl to make me leave. I love you.
“Aww honey” , they both kiss and decided to head to their room So what else can the suit do….
In the beginning, speaks volumes to me and describes my marriage. In the beginning in the Bible tells you of how the earth became like it is to day. Everything is always great in the beginning but those trees and leaves dies. The grass don’t always be as green and some of the very animals god mad no longer exist or you have to go deep into the earth just to see one. When I married Michael, he was everything I had hoped and prayed for. Romantic , spontaneous, funny and a great cook.He would the heavens and earth for me.I would just hear his name and couldn’t wait to rush home. And just like that it all began to fade away. I can’t even tell you when or why really all I know is the man I married has long gone and I can’t hardly recognize this one. It began one day when he left for work and didn’t tell me he loved me.Just as the words left my mouth dry from the lack of love he was out the door. I’d sit and cry until he come back.Feeling alone never having to feel that way. We will have a talk as soon as he gets home.My beginning would be when I feel a release of the pain I have been feeling from my marriage. I’d hear Michael laugh on the phone with others but as soon as I come in the room , he would get off the phone or seem like the laughter would stop. Was it me was I making him unhappy without doing anything. “Honey, what’s wrong” The words left my mouth one night before I had a chance to prepare. “Nothing” and he goes back to watching t.v “What happened to us. We were so happy now you barely talk to me. You have been home all night and the t.v has been your main focus What do you want me to say.I just want to relax nothing is wrong. Ok I cut the light off and lay down as tears falls out of my eyes
The next morning , I get up and Michaels gone. No goodbyes no I love your nothing. Just like that my marriage is done.
When we met , we would stay on the phone for hours just talking about everything.
And just like that my marriage is done.
