Darkness to light Chapters 3and 4

of the children so you could continue your studies.
Then I heard the door of his room slam shut and silence prevailed for a long time. I went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. The living room was as destroyed as he had left it and he was sitting on the balcony. I didnt address him I prepared the food and continued with what I intended for what he said and did only increased my determination for revenge. After I finished preparing the food and placed it on the balcony table I sat down and didnt speak but began to eat under his angry gaze.

After you finish eating clean the living room.
I wont and you have to clean it while Im in the kitchen washing the dishes.
Do you want me to hit you after all these years between us?
I smiled at him and said Do it if you want but you have to remember well that I dont give up my rights.
What are you going to do? Tell me.
Just do it and youll see.
He was silent for a moment then began to finish his food eating with anger filling his eyes and movements. After we finished and I carried the dishes to the kitchen he followed me shouting
Go and clean the living room.
When I turned around he was holding a belt in his hand. Before I knew it I pulled out the knife I had hidden in my clothes and quickly slashed his arm. It was a surprise to him and to me as well. I shouted
This will give you a strong reason to hit me.
Are you crazy? You slashed my arm with a knife?
Its just a superficial cut doctor. This is just to threaten you but if you even think of daring to raise that belt towards me again be sure I will do more than just cut you. And not just you but also my own body. Then forget about your good reputation among people and the destroyed furniture will be proof that youre the culprit.
With a confident smile he said Your fingerprints are on the knife.
I laughed and replied I dont have any fingerprints anywhere. All the prints here are yours. Dont you see that I always wear medical gloves? And this knife has your fingerprints on it since yesterday when you cut the apple with it.
Really do you intend to send me to prison so I wont marry another?
If I wanted to do that why would I wait a whole month? I just wanted some time as a last memory between us. Why ruin it? Cant you wait two weeks and then well separate without a fight?
But I dont want to separate. Why dont you stay with me and Ill divide my time between you and I wont be unfair to you.
Youve already been unfair to me by considering another. Ive never failed in my duties towards you. You were unfair to me by breaking my trust in you. You were unfair to me when you preferred
your new marriage to destroying what was between us. And Ill never forgive you even if you cancel your marriage to another.
I havent wronged you Ive only exercised my legal right. The law allows me to marry more than one wife.
And the law allows me to divorce and Im exercising this right.
