My father disagreed with what I wanted to happen but in the end they had no choice. So it happened, we got married. It was year 2017, I was just 23 and he was 33 years old. We have 10 years age gap. I have no regret that I did that. I didn't regret that I became a second wife. Our husband is a good man. He knows how to treat us both.
No more and no less. He treated us equally. I loved him so much because of that. And believe it or not, I have never felt any jealousy about how he treats my friend who is his wife. We even find it funny sometimes because he's the one who is jealous of us. We were so sweet with each other according to him to the point we forget to feed him.
We were not living in the same house but there were times that my friend visits us and we had nothing to do except have talks and have laughs and he can't relate with us because he knows nothing about what we were talking about. So he becomes jealous.
When I got pregnant, I was so overwhelmed about how my friend acted. I felt her happiness to my core, she was so happy but at the same time I become lonely.
She was like that to the baby in my tummy but how much more if it was her own child? She told me to leave my work for a while so I can rest because I was pregnant. Our husband didn't ask me for that but she did. I am so lucky because I experienced to have a co-wife who is like her. I am super lucky.
In every check up, she was there with me. I always see the happiness that was on her face everytime I was with her. When we got to know that our baby was gonna be a baby girl, she was the one who picked things for her. Almost all of it. Our husband says to her to stop buying things because our baby will not be able to use all of it but she just goes and buys. She even told me to name our baby with our names.
My name as my baby's first name and hers as her second name. I was in the hospital that time because it was my due when the most painful news came.
My beloved friend, left us.
