Where Do Broken Hearts Go?

                                             Where Do Broken Hearts Go?


She sits at her kitchen table, with sorrow in her heart, and she says, where do broken hearts go? A tear rolled down her eyes, and she felt as if she was going to melt inside. She remembered his embrace, how he smelled when he held her, and how his strong voice felt in her ears. She felt like they were meant to be, but lately, he has the smell of another woman on his shirt. By the look in his eyes, she knew that he was in love with another woman. Oh, she could have died the moment she realized her love was not enough. She remembered his sweet promise that we could have it all. Successful career, a child and a wonderful life, just trust me. 


She trusted him, but now she was feeling like a clown. Oh, God, my heart is broken, I feel as if I can't breathe, please help me, she screamed. Jesus came and blessed her heart and provided healing words to her mind. You are stronger than you think and wiser than you know. She took a deep breath. She was so sad inside, she walked and laid on the sofa.


Her husband walks in the door with a smile on his face. She is amazing, he thinks, his new love. She is smart, lots of  fun, and I can't get enough of her, but how am I supposed to leave my wife and child? I love them too. He looks at his wife with dried tears on her face, and his  heart breaks, and he thinks she knows that I have been unfaithful. Baby, I am sorry., he says. You are sorry, his wife screams, I tried to make you happy, she yells, but why am I not enough?


 You  are enough, he said. I love you, then why do you smell like another woman, and there are so many hours that i dont know where you are? You don't spend time with our child anymore, and I am tired of talking to an empty person because you don't respond to me.  Her husband was sad and worried because he realized at that moment that he was bored with life, but his new love sparked feelings in him that he had not felt in a long time. But living everyday without his wife was not going to happen. I know you're hurt he said and I understand your anger, but you're not leaving me. She took a deep breath and in her mind, she thought, you're already left, I just need to find the right moment to walk away. She gets up, looks in his eyes and knows that he still cares for her, she is surprised, and overwhelmed so she goes up stairs to lay down.


He goes up stairs and showers, his phone buzzes, and he smiles at his love. Hello, sweet thing, he said. I miss you already she said, can you stop over after work tomorrow. He says, you know I am married and my wife knows about you. Good, she said, I am tired of being your dirty little secret. He laughed. I appreciate you and everything we have, but sex, is sex. And I do love you, but I am not leaving my safe foundation for you. What, she said. I am not leaving my wife for you. Really, she said. Yes, really, he says. Ok, we will see about that, she said. He hangs up the telephone and now he is annoyed. My wife wants to go, I can see it in her eyes, and my side pieces want to move in. Unfortunately, for both of them, it's going to be the opposite way.


He calls his best friend and asks him to stop over to help him figure things out. When his best friend arrives he tells him everything. He explained how he walked out the store one day and one of the most beautiful women he had seen in a long time was standing there. He stared at her and she smiled at him, and he made him feel like a strong man. She quickly gave him her telephone number and he decided he just needed a little time away from married life. He and his mistress had been spending time together, they scheduled it around work and it had been great. The mistress is so much fun. What's the problem then said his friend. well, my wife found out about the fair, and I'm pretty sure she wants to leave. Let her go, and start over, said his friend. I did and it's been great,my new wife is everything that my ex wife is not his best friend said.


  He tells his best friend that his friend's new wife is great but he can't start over.. I can't let her go. I can't leave my wife alone.  Why, said his best friend?  I mean, the new love is fun, and we have great sex, but she is not a wife,he explains.  I arrive to her, to her place, tired and hungry and she only cares about herself. She does not make me things to eat, she does not offer me anything to drink and when I am sick, she does not really care. Being with her made me realize how wonderful my wife truly is. My home is clean, I have hot meals, and when I am sick, it feels like my wife moves heaven and earth to fix me. Plus, my wife knows me and how to fix things, and I know it's selfish, but I can't imagine another man touching my wife.  So I am staying right here. I was wrong for cheating, and I have been telling myself to walk away from this new relationship for a while. But it's hard because I love her too, it's just different. 


Well, it sounds like you have already decided what to do, said his best friend. I have ,but I do not know how to implement my plan to get my wife to forgive me and my sidechick to forget me.


Well, if you want to keep your wife, end the affair, and invest back into your marriage. Maybe walk down memory lane, and it may bring up hurt feelings at first, but it hopefully will rekindle some flames. As for the side chick, just be honest with her, hopefully, she will understand. She knew you were married.  Right, hopefully. His friend leaves, and he texts his mistress and tells her it's over, and he is sorry. He does love her but he can't lose his family over this affair. She does not take it well, I am a part of your life and you are not walking out on me. Great, he said and he is a little flattered, as he loves her, she is crazy about me, he thinks.


He stops and thinks about not seeing his wife everyday and only seeing his child on weekends, and his heart almost breaks. I can't do this, this other woman has to go. He knocks on their bedroom door and asks to come in.  His wife ignores him and he gently opens the door. He tells her the truth, your love is enough, I can't imagine living without you, if you and the baby were not here when I got home, my life would be empty. I need your love and I need you.


She smiled and sat up, and said a prayer in her head to make sure that God was in agreement with her to amending  her marriage. She was still hurt, but it felt as if he said all the right things. She smiled and ran and melted in his arms again. I love you and I love you too much to share you with another woman. I understand, He said. They laid in bed and talk all night and for the first time in a long time, they laughed and enjoyed each other's company. In the morning, she smiled and said God, where do broken hearts go? God said, into the deep. It still exists, but love conquers all.


She smiled and hugged herself, she loves her husband so much. She was smiling and washing dishes, then came a knock on the door. Before she could answer it, she heard the door open, then she heard her husband's voice on the camera system telling the person they better get out of the house. She grabs her phone and calls 911, as she peaks around the corner to see a beautiful woman standing there, and the woman has something in her hand. She yells at the wife, he is mine and I am better than you. The wife is taken off guard, oh, you are his affair. The woman runs away. The husband heads home from work and takes his wife to a family member's house and heads to talk with his mistress, but before he could arrive at her home. He is hit by a car. He tries to control the steering wheel, but he can't. One moment he is fighting to not drive into a building and the next moment, he is unconscious. The mistress gets out of the car and says, If I can't have you then no one can, and she drives off. 


Nearby passengers call 911 who arrive on the scene. The cop has a description of her car from a video and picture of her  license plate from a witness. He is bloody and fighting for his life. His ancestors surround him and say, repent, repent, so God can help you, you fool repent. He repents, and God sends healing to him. He is unconscious again. His wife arrives at the hospital in tears, and as she sees him lying in the hospital bed, with bands and tubes, she realizes that nothing else matters. Her heart is broken again. She walks over to him and God reminds her that love conquers all. She kisses his forehead and says, I loved you then, I love you now and I always will. He opened his eyes, and said, I cant die without you, so I guess I have to live. And you shall, you fool said his ancestors.  His wife takes his hand and said some things are worth fighting for, and the baby in her womb, kicked and sucking his thumb, said yep, mama. I am worth fighting for too, so eat something. 


                                                                     The End!
