The following day, after the elapse of the one month I had left, we returned home, and not once did Darren alter a word to me, his silence was Killing me, deep down.
I walked into the room and saw him seated in the room, quietly watched as I walked over to the wardrobe.
"Hold on Karol, let's talk?".
My feet froze and I turned to see him holding a document in his hand.
"What's this?" I asked and got a hold of the documents in his hands.
I read thoroughly and saw it was a divorce paper, which he had already signed and was left to me too.
Darren says, "please, sign the divorce papers and make sure it's done before the end of today". Unfrozen and left the room.
My heart broke into a million pieces, as I watched him walk away, what can I say? Who will help me? I asked myself when Mr. Smith strolls in, as he gained the notice of what had just happened.
He says, "Mrs. Jackie!! Can we talk".
I lifted my head and saw him ambling further, my mouth weaved up to speak, rather he shuts me up by tearing the documents in my hand.
"Sir? Why did do this?" I asked.
"What do you mean? Why won't i and I believe we should end this tension between you both once and for all".
He takes me out of the room and straight to the living room, "Darren!! Son, come out here?".
Darren slowly strolls downstairs and met me standing next to his father, "what's going on dad and please if you called me here to talk about this, this she-devil, I am sorry, I won't".
Mr. Smith, Immediately dragged him by his ears, "seriously son!! Don't you wanna listen to me and please, don't think I will stop holding unto your ear".
Out of this comfort, Darren finally gives In to his father's demands, "yes dad!! I'll listen but please stop dragging my ears".
He lets go and previewed his words again, "son!! I called you here to talk about, your wife, Karol, I think you divorcing her is a huge mistake".
"Dad!! A mistake? Did you forget that this lady in question, tried to murder you in cold blood, and yet, pretended that nothing happened? Did you expect me not to do anything". Darren's words plunged into my heart, like a spare.
"Look son, I do know what she did was wrong, but don't blame her, she only thought I was the culprit, who murdered her parents and I am sure, if you were in her shoes, you will do the same thing".
Both father and son, discussed with each other, Mr. Smith tried too hard to change his son's mind but Darren was as stubborn as a mule, he refused to give in to his demands and angrily let out to me.
"Miss she-devil, no matter how hard you try to mend what is already broken, you can't and please, get out of my life, my family, and I wish you could just die and leave forever".
(The moment he said that a gunshot was fired and it was aimed at me, as they saw me on the floor, bleeding).
"Karol!!!" He rushed to my aid and tried to stop the blood I was shot at.
Mr. Smith called an ambulance and after a while, they came and drove me to the city hospital, Ravi had no option but to inform aunt what happened and immediately, drove to the hospital.
"Oh my goodness, where is my daughter?" Aunt drops and illuminates a caustic soda look on her face.
As they all saw her eyes over to the emergency room.
Now reading as Darren POV
Everyone's attention was sawed in the emergency room, aunt couldn't believe her eyes that her niece was shot and was at the emergency room fighting for her life.
An hour later, the doctor walked out of the room, "excuse me" he says as he rushed him trying to get notifications as to what happened.
"Yes, Doctor!! Is my wife going to be okay?" I said donning a curious look on.
"Yes Mr. Darren but unfortunately, she lost a lot of blood, what Mrs. Karol needs now is a blood transfusion".
Aunt beers into the conversation and gives her blood to save her niece, and so did every one of us.
One after the other, we all went to get the test done and non of them, were a match to her, I got a chance to check mine and was surprised, our blood was of a match, Immediately, they took my blood and rushed into the emergency room.
I watched through the window and saw how they transferred my blood into her, my heart was racing out of its place, and after a few hours, the doctor returned and gave the news we were dying to hear.
"Congratulation everyone!! She's finally out of danger". He says to us.
A cloud of relief hovered around me, thankfully nothing happened to her and if by chance it did, I wouldn't have forgiven myself.
"Can I see her!! Please doctor". I asked.
"Yes please," he answered back, as I slowly moved into her ward and caught her lying on the bed.
Her eyes slowly unlock, as she gains notoriety from me, "who are you". Karol asked the weirdest question.
"What do you mean? It's me, Darren? Don't you remember me?". I asked, thus he jerked her head in disapproval.
"No!! I am sorry, I don't remember you, perhaps you work for my parents?".  She airs out once again.
It made no sense to me, her words were so dried and the gaze was as if, we have never met before, what exactly is going on?" I asked myself as I ran out to meet the doctor.
"Hello, doctor? Please there's something wrong with my wife?". I dragged him not the room, followed by everyone, who stood at the side at watched the doctor run checks on her.
The doctor veers his head and said, "I don't know what to say but to what I can gain, I believe, Karol suffers from amnesia, she doesn't recall anything about her past".
(Stunned demeanor drops to the floor)
"Really? I lost my wife and please tell me, what happens now? How am I going to get her to remember?". I said in a stunned demeanor.
"I don't Know, Mr. Drew but I believe with time, Mrs. Karol will regain consciousness".
(Unfrozen and left the room)
Dad pulls me for a warm hug and said, "it's okay!! Karol will be fine, you just need to calm down and let destiny take its course".
I got angered and asserted in a high tone, "really! Destiny, why on earth will something like this happen to me? Why will I get to lose the woman I love".
Without thinking I said and watched the confused look on her face.
"Karol!! Please try to remember, who you are? I am begging you? Please? Don't forget everything we have passed through please".
Every word I said, passed one ear and drops out from the other.
Dad dragged me back and nudge me out of the room, "what is wrong with you?" He says to me.
"What do you mean dad?" I don't understand?" I asked as he continues talking.
"What don't you understand? Please son, don't try to force her to remember you, and please don't make any stupid mistake".
(He frowns and walked back into the ward)
What can I say? Did I just lose the woman I love? Did I alter a word out of anger and get what I wanted?. Is Karol ever going to recall her past life and when will that happen?.
