Continued from:
Two days after he left the house
she received a telephone call from his superior. In the Army, the superior has to give
permission if the subordinate wanted to marry again. His superior officer asked
her whether he has her permission to marry again. She told him, “Sir, he does not need my permission.
He already divorced me two days ago.
He is no longer my husband”.
She
thought she was strong. But she was
not.
She locked herself in her office
and refused to attend meetings. Her behaviour attracted the
attention of her whole office including her Boss. She was called to explain and she broke
down. Her Boss was very understanding
and approved her 1 week leave. She was
later to realize that her recovery would take many years.
How was she feeling? She felt small, she felt
herself very ugly, and most of all, she lost her
self - confidence. She was later to
realize that her behavior had not only cost her to suffer professionally but
also caused her to neglect her responsibility towards her young children who
were left only to the housemaid most of the time. She was not there for herself, not there for
her job and not even there for her children.
