Expired Love, Farewell Forever1

On our wedding anniversary, my husband didn't come home.

At midnight, he posted on social media.

"Your body is like the waves, musical notes capturing the bay in a spring night."

The picture showed a pair of large hands gripping a slender waist. The hands were his, but the woman wasn't me.

The next day, that woman dropped him off at home. Because I couldn't hear, they flirted openly in front of me.

He didn't know that I could actually hear again. It was supposed to be a surprise for our anniversary.

I asked for a divorce, but he was certain I would beg him to take me back.

But I forgot about him completely, while he regretted everything.

He went crazy, rushing to kneel before me, pleading for a fresh start.

I pointed at my ear and said, "Who are you? I can't hear."

I couldn't sleep all night. I searched every corner of our house, trying to find any trace of Alan Jones' affair.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

The man who once promised to love me forever was gone. He seemed to have rotted overnight.

I heard the garage door open. Wiping away tears, I ran to the window and looked down.

It was Alan's car, but a pretty young woman was driving.
