One might think a bed of a peaceful, settling of the mindset along with one's spirit. It might be conveyed as rest and adequate comfort leading to a good night's sleep after an exhausting day.
But is that feeling engraved in everyone's souls?
To me it has always been different,a different thought, belief,mindset.I believe many terrifying things take place in a bed.Single,Double,King or Queen sized,none matters really. Initially, it's where we are all born,our first peril of life.It's where all the strong women give birth,which might tragedically be their last.It is also where the intimacy encounters occurs....
Some might define it as LOVE, some as Despair or merely an indignity they must suffer through. Not to mention, where we die.
But in an ordinary being's universe,a bed is only just a property we sleep in,where we dream.Just a simple,nonetheless complex in anyway and not even curious at all kind of observation towards certain properties.
But despite all what I was currently overwhelmed with,I let Rose explain everything .
"People are snakes,whether intending to or not,it's in human nature that everyone is going to sin,lie or have bliss in despair of anyone's misery . But I never thought in one single torment that you can be a man of that caliber,I rated you so high."
"Ros-.." ....."No!" She interrupted him furiously,"All this was a lie. All of this is a lie. I believed in what was a fairytale to you."
I stepped in eventually.
"Listen,Rose,I know that this comes as totally shocking and overwhelming as anyone would feel but sometimes all we have to be grateful for is knowing the truth before other foundations are formed and there is a lot to lose at the discovery of it all."
Turning her head towards me,she lowered it and inhaled briefly."I have nothing against you Adamma,meaning I have nothing left to do here. So if you'll excuse me,I have to go."
Ofcourse she was telling the truth but still it broke me seeing another woman being exposed to such humiliation and agony while in a phase of having a child. It seemed just unfair and inhuman at some point and her life ceasing just when it was all in bliss.
As it was once said....
We all know the story . Virginal girl,pure and sweet,trapped in a body of a swan. She longs to be freed,desires freedom that only true love can only break the spell. Her wish was nearly granted in the form of a Prince. But before he can declare his love for her,the lustful twin,the black swan tricked and seduced him. Devastated,the white swan leaped off a cliff,ended her life. And in death,found her long desiring freedom,only by contradiction.
In this state,Rose was just trying to find a new essence of breathing in and out air far aware from her home,from her entire life and so she landed right into the hands of my uncle,the supposed Prince. But in Rose's turnout story,not a woman managed to seduce my uncle,he was simply devoured by lies,greed and power. And now that the truth is flaunting in the air,neither of them lost their lives but he lost his heir.As a matter of fact,Rose was the one who found the freedom yet again,by being in the light soon enough to escape what was awaiting ahead.
2 days later.
The weekend has come to an end and the earth continues to orbit once again. Rose had left my uncle for good and went back home while he has been nothing but the most dedicated buyer of all tarvens around,day in and day out.
"Eddie,wake up!" I said as I aggressively removed the white sheets that had his drunk self crawled up in.
"Whattt??" He groaned as he struggled to get himself up.
I did not pity him. Not even for a second,I just needed him out of my house before it turned into a brewery recovery institution.
"This is becoming so absurd,Eddie! You did this to yourself, you did!" I pointed out blatantly.
"Can't you see that im overly drowning already!? I just lost the woman i loved and on top of that my child Ada!"
"Is that so? And who's stupid fault was that to commence with? Or should I say who's 'brilliant idea' was that all along? You knew the truth was going to avail itself at some point and it was really not so wise at all for you to try and build a genuine thing ontop of all that sick illusion!"
"I know!" He almost broke down." I know alright and all I did was try to be able to be at the same level as my siblings and to just own something."
[Sighing]..."All that is no excuse to be such a devoted liar for many fucken years you know. It is just a sick escape from your own delusional greed which will result you with nothing but regret and yourself and it's injecting now."
[Ominous music]
"Thud!"
I jolted my head instantly towards were the sound came from outside the wide open bedroom door traveling back downstairs.
"What was that?" I asked looking back at Eddie,almost aghasted.
He was almost terrified also.
"How am I supposed to know when I have been sleeping almost a decade now?" Eddie whispered,"It's probably just an animal." He said back in a breezy matter of the situation.
"Im not done with you." I pointed out before turning my heels out.
I went downstairs to take a look and nothing bizarre seemed to show.
"Hmmmmm" I mumbled underneath my breath before trailing back upstairs to get some rest.
