When words lose their weight

Episode 5

Navelya

How does he know all this information? What is this mystery around him?

__ What are you talking about, Ruben? I would like to immediately know what you're talking about.

__I talk about what you know. What you and I know very well.

__Comment did you know? How did you discover that I had a lawyer?

__ Same at a distance, I can watch you. For example, I know that you went to see your parents, where you spent almost an hour talking to them about your divorce that will never take place.

__S, why are you doing like that? What is your game?

__ Do you not forget that it is I who order? In the end, it is I who decides.

__Who does not free me? Are I not entitled to happiness too?

__ You are happy with me and that, everyone knows. You have whatever you want around you. I take care of you. What are you still? Why do you want to divorce at all costs? Why do you want to separate from me when there are thousands of women who would like to be in your place? Why, Navelya?

__ because I can't stand you anymore. Because I am enough of you. Because I don't care about your money. Because I am a woman, and I also want to live true love. I need you to touch me, that you make love to me as all the normal couples do. Ruben, we've been together for more than four years and you don't know if I am a woman or a man. However, you, you allow yourself to sleep with any girl outside. Do you think I have stone instead of my heart? I don't also have the right to happiness?

__ you delirious, Navelya, and stop breaking my head with that. I can't find you sexy enough to have any privacy with you. I tried, but I think it's not worth it. You are not my kind of woman.

__ Excuse me ? Have you just realized this now?

So explain to me why did you decided to unite me? I thought you loved me. I thought you were an honest man, a true man, but obviously not. Tell me who are you really?

__ I love you, Navelya, if that's what you want to hear, so I'm going to finally tell you. I love you, but not the way you believe it. I only married you to recover my share of inheritance, and I still need you to lead this battle to the end. If you really want to divorce, know that it will take you for years, because I will not allow you to destroy what I built. If I let you get this divorce, my whole plan will be ruined. I have to keep you by my side, you have to understand it. Do not forget that it is I who take care of your family. Watch a little gratitude, be grateful for once in your life. I'm already doing a lot for you, but that's never enough for you.

__ You disgust me, Ruben. So you kept me here as a prisoner because of a question of inheritance?

__ And you don't know what it's worth because you didn't have this chance. I am a businessman and I have to do everything to keep my image. The whole thing is not just a heritage, there is also the business world that matters a lot to me. What will people say if I divorce when it has only been four years that we are married? Do you want them to see me as a man unable to manage his home well? Is that the image you want from me?

__ No, but that's exactly what you are Ruben, an incapable man. You annoy me.

I want to go but he kept me.

__ Where are you going like that? You still haven't understood anything that your lawn of a lawyer can absolutely do nothing for you?

__ What did you do to him Ruben?

__ Nothing my darling, it's just a matter of money.

__ Did you corrupt it? Did you offer him money and he too betrayed me without a ulterior motive?

__ Take that as you want but I warn you, don't dare to challenge me.

__ I'm not afraid of you. I hate you Ruben, I hate you with all my might.

I rush to my room and give free rein to my tears. I had promised not to cry for him anymore, but here I am overwhelmed by emotion. How to contain these tears right now? What did I do to deserve all this? Why are the rich still right?

I cried until I fell asleep. The next day, I wake up with strong head pain, a consequence of my intense tears from the day before. After taking a shower, I leave my room when Ruben's mother enters through the door.

__Maman, happy to see you at home

__Then my daughter, but I have to do it quickly. Where's your husband?

__Ruben? Eeeh I ...

__What ? You don't know where your husband is?

__It is ... wait a moment. I will check.

I rush to the Ruben chamber. In reality, I do not know if he has already gone to work or not, because we do not share the same room and I am not aware of his trips.

I hit the door but no one responds. After checking carefully, I see that the door is locked.

I then go back to see mom to let her know the situation.

__ Mom, he came out. I think he has already gone to work.

__ And is it now that you realized? Haven't you had breakfast together?

__ No, since I didn't feel well, so I stayed in my room.

__ I see, and he didn't inform you before you go out?

__ Maybe he came to my room when I slept.

__ It's good, quite spoken of all this. I'm here for a good reason. Tell me, Navelya. It's been four good years since you got married to my son. What do you have to give us a grandson? Why don't you get pregnant?
