Chapter 7

Fireworks

“Good morning Jen” Irene smiled and greeted once I open her shop’s door.

“Good morning Irene” I answered with a smile and put my bag on my table, then silently seated on my seat. I felt she followed and puts a chair on my side, then seated and examined my face.

“Are you okay?Did you cry?”

I looked away “I didn’t”

“Liar”

“I’m just tired” I answered back, then getting the scarf I was supposed to give to Lisa last night, but then, the fight happened

“Oh what did you do?”

“Just finishing this scarf” I showed her the finished yellow scarf, still  avoiding her examining gaze on me.

“Really? You got so tired last night in finishing your almost finish scarf that your eyes seems like it got bitten by hundreds of cockroach?” she mocked a laugh and cross her arms “Tell me what happened”

I sighed “We fought” and admitted

“What did she say?” she gave her full attention on me

“She said I played with her behind someone else’s back in my past” I admit

I know, I shouldn’t say things like this to anybody or to anyone , this  should only between Lisa and me, our fight. But I know I couldn’t get any better if I won’t talk to anyone regarding my problems, I’ll be insane knowing Lisa didn’t even answer any single damn question I throw her last night

I’m pissed

“What?!” Irene gasped “ Oh my god is that true? Then why did you guys end up getting married? How did that happen? Who is the man? What? So Lisa is a cheater?” she’s gone berserk, eyes are wide while she’s gripping my arm “Is that true Jennie?”

“I don’t know Irene, Lisa won’t answer my questions.”

“So that’s the reason you came here alone?”

I nod as an answer

Then she answered  long silence

I stayed quiet and started embroidering the letter M with a dot beside Lisa’s curve name in the scarf

“Ohhh well maybe –Irene coughed, concealing the  discomfort  between us “Lisa has reasons why she didn’t answer your questions Jennie, you know how vulnerable your situation is”

I scoffed “If she knew how vulnerable I am, why did she told me I played with her with someone else’s back in the past? Now I couldn’t sleep thinking why would I do that with her? Who is the man we played? What kind of person I am in the past? Why did I do that?”

“You will know soon Jen, just trust Lisa. You’ll know the answers but for now, what you need is time. Your head needs time” she stared directly at my eyes

“Trust her? Do you think it’s easy for me to trust her if she won’t answer my questions? Knowing she knows I don’t have any idea  about who I really am and who she is to me?“

“Maybe Lisa is doing this for your own good. You fainted twice already Jennie and it’s dangerous, too dangerous. I know Lisa won’t let it happen again. Please trust her” she holds my hand and stared at it “She loved you so much and I witnessed it” she whispered low

I raise a brow “What did you say?”

She looked up and smiled “Nothing! I am saying just trust your wife for now, because reality speaking Jen, you don’t have anyone to rely on for now, you only have Lisa”
