Lilith’s eyes flicked to the divorce agreement in his grip, her expression lighted up with excitement. She grabbed his arm and tried to snatch the documents.
"Is this a divorce agreement?" he asked, "Are you finally divorcing Kelly?"
Annoyed, Mario shoved her away.
Lilith was a little upset and turned her head to point to where I was standing before, but only to see that the place was empty.
By then, I had already disappeared into the crowd. In a disoriented state, I kept walking aimlessly through the crowd, as if I was detached from every mess-up thing that happened around me.
It was so pathetic, so silly, really. That the child I had longed for all this time turned out was never mine. Although I had birthed him into this world, I could not keep him to stay here.
"It’s fine, Kelly. That wasn’t your child," I said to myself. "It's okay."
Yet, although I kept telling myself that over and over again, it did not matter.
Eventually, I sank to the ground, hugged myself and sobbed uncontrollably.
I didn’t know how long I cried before a white handkerchief appeared in front of me.
I looked up instinctively. A sharp, chiseled face came into view.
