Julia turning to me: why are you crying?

I turn to her father who was pleading with me before putting me at the same height as her: it's because I'm sad my darling

Julia wiping away my tears: Did dad make you sad?

Me: no no not at all my dear

Julia: what makes you sad then?

Me taking a deep breath before answering her: I'm sad because I have to give you some time, mom needs me

I was so ashamed to lie to her brazenly looking her in the face but I have no other solution at the risk of breaking her heart

Julia: So you're leaving me too, right? did I misbehave?

Me pained for her: no no not at all my dear, it has nothing to do with you, you are the best little girl in the world, you have done nothing wrong

Julia: So why do I feel like you're not coming back?

Mom opening the door with a bang: you're crazy, right? what are you doing here with a suitcase?

Me: when are you going to make up your mind to respect me? don't you understand that I don't want to t

Alex

Me: I want divorce Alexander

Alexander: no it's out of the question

Me trying to control my way: of course I'll divorce

Alexender sitting on the edge of the bed looking at me: I don't want a divorce

Me sitting next to him and taking his hands in mine: why do you want us to stay together? give me one reason not to divorce you

I had my heart racing, I asked him these questions even though I wasn't really sure what answer I was going to receive, I kept in my heart the hope that he would tell me that he wants us to stay together because he loves me and he doesn't want to live without me, or even if he doesn't love me yet he at least wants to try, s 'he asks me to stay and really try to build something I will stay without thinking for a single second, since I don't want to be far from him, I'm not sure I can live far from him, I'm not Sure to be able to bear o
