Divorced and Homeless

Lotus P. O. V

 I woke up in the morning. My whole body was aching like a truck went over my body. I sat up and realized that I was n**ed. I wrapped the bed sheet around me and tried to get up from the bed. But felt a sharp tingling pain between my legs. I was sore down there. A smile crept from my lips. At last I was a complete woman. I gave my everything to my husband, the love of my life. I looked around the room in search of George but he were nowhere to be seen. I slowly went to the bathroom to check on him but he was not there. Where did he go? May he has gone down to bring breakfast for me. I thought to myself. I decided to have a shower then wait for him. I dropped the bed sheet and entered the bathroom. I stood in front of the mirror blushed. There were red marks all over my neck and chest. I couldn't remember much of last night. But seeing those love bites I can get an idea of how passionate was the night for us. I took a long hot bath and the soreness of mine is now bearable.

 I came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe. George is still not here. So I decided to call him. The wall clock indicated10 am. I searched for my mobile in the night stand and saw an envelope. I put it aside and dialed George's number but his phone was switched off. I dialed again but it said the same. I was tensed for him and thinking about lot of possibilities where he could be when that envelope caught my attention. May be he has planned something to surprise me. So with shaky hands I opened the envelope. It was a legal paper. On top of the paper it was written in bold letters "Divorce Agreement" and in the bottom there was George's signature.

"Is it some kind of prank?" I said out loud. What the hell is happening with me. Why would George give me divorce the next day of our marriage? I need to go to his house, I thought. My luggages were on the corner of the room so I searched for a dress and got ready to go look for George. I went out of the room with my luggage and the envelope in my hand. I went straight to the reception and asked for the bills. They said all the bills were paid so I checked out and walk fast for the exit. My eyes were blurred with tears and I bumped with someone. I didn't look back at the person just said sorry and rushed out. I hailed a cab from outside and gave him the address of George's apartment.

When I reached in front of George's apartment building I got down from tge taxi and went inside. The guard knew me so he didn't stop me. I went straight to 16th floor and rang the door bell.

To my surprise my sister Lilly opened the door with a smile and gestured me to enter. Inside there was both of mine and George's parents sitting there. Everyone looked at me as of I'm a criminal. I walked to George and asked him lowly.

"George where were you? I have been waiting for you the whole morning." hearing this he gave me a mocking smile but kept silence.

"Let's go inside. I have something important to discuss to you." I said to him.

"Say whatever you want to say in front of us." replied my mother in law in an irritated way.

I hesitated a bit then showed the envelope to George.

"What is this George? You can't use a divorce agreement for fun." I said to him. He burst into laughter.

"Do you think that I'm that stupid Lotus? After you spent the whole night with another man do you want me to accept you as my wife?" he said while gritting his teeth.

"What are you talking about. I spent the night with you." I said to him with tears in my eyes.

"Then what is it Lotus." my mother said while showing me a video where I was kissing a man ferociously. I can't see the face of the man but it's sure he's not George.

"I don't know anything about that George. Believe me dad I was with George the whole night. George please say something." I begged to him and suddenly someone slapped me harder and it was my dad.

"We were with him the whole night. I feel ashamed of you Lotus. I disown you as my daughter." I burst into tears as I heard those words from my father.

"You were with someone else the whole night sis. How can you blame George?" my sister asked me. I looked at her and hold her hand tightly.

"Lilly it was you who sent me in my room please tell everyone that it must be some misunderstanding." I plead to her.

"Sorry sis from childhood I have covered all your faults as mine. But this time I can't cover your fault. Forgive me." she said and my whole world broke down. I slapped her hard for her lying.

"She's lying dad. I have never done anything like this." I said to my dad who was looking the other way.

"Stop putting your shameless deeds on Lilly. You are nothing but a wh**e pretending to be a good girl. Get out of my house and never show me your face. You disgust me Lotus Kent." George spatted those words to me.

"And sign the divorce papers now. I don't want your name to be connected anyway with me." he said with disgust.

I tried to convince them a lot but none of them was ready to listen my words. I had to sign those divorce papers as my father ordered me. Then George threw me out of the apartment. My step mom reminded me not to go to my father's house. So just by one night I have become a homeless girl.
