my name is Arabella I am 33 years old I have a husband His name is Robert We have one daughter
Her name is Cecilia She is 7 years old We lived together for 10 years I loved my husband very much
I trusted him I believed he was a good man But one day everything changed It was a Friday night
My husband went to a party His best friend had a birthday Robert told me "I will come home late."
I said "Okay I stayed at home I was a little sick and wanted to rest." At the party his exgirlfriend
was there too I did not know this He did not tell me The next morning Robert was quiet He sat in
the kitchen looking sad I asked "What's wrong?" He said "Arabella I need to tell you something." Then
after a moment he said "I kissed my ex-girlfriend last night I was drunk She came close I didn't
stop her It just happened I could not believe it I said "What do you mean just happened?" He said
"It was a mistake only one time Please forgive me." I was very angry I cried I shouted I said
bad words My heart broke I felt pain inside I said "Leave this house." I took his bag I opened the
door I said "Go away." And he left This house is mine I bought it before marriage so I had
the right to ask him to go Our daughter was not at home She was at my parents' house I was happy
she didn't see our fight After that Robert sent me many messages He called many times He said "I love
you I am sorry Please give me one more chance." But I didn't answer Then his mother called me
She said "Arabella please don't be angry All men make mistakes My husband also had a girlfriend but
I stayed Now we are okay." I said "No I don't want to live with a man who kisses other women." She
said "Think about your daughter A child needs her father I said Cecilia can still see her father but
I don't want him as my husband Some people say I'm too serious Some people say I should forgive him
but I don't want to I don't want to sleep next to a man who kissed another woman I feel hurt I feel
dirty I feel alone I still love him but love is not enough Trust is more important And he broke
that trust Now I live alone with Cecilia I am not happy but I am calm No more lies no more pain The
next day Robert came to the house He stood at the door looking very sad He had flowers in
his hands He said "Please Arabella let's talk." I did not want to talk but I opened the door a
little What do you want i asked He said "Arabella I made a big mistake I was drunk
I didn't think clearly I love you I love Cecilia Please forgive me I said "You kissed another
woman That is not love That is cheating You cheated on me." He said "She kissed me first
I was confused I didn't know what to do It was only one kiss nothing more I looked at him I
felt so tired so hurt I said "Robert you had a choice You could say no But you didn't You
kissed her back That's enough for me." He began to cry He said "I don't want to lose my family
I said "You lost us when you kissed her." Robert left the flowers near the door Then he walked
away that night I could not sleep I thought about everything I remembered our wedding I
remembered the day Cecilia was born I remembered how kind Robert was when I was in the school
He was a good husband before He helped me after Cecilia's birth He cooked food He cleaned the
house He loved our baby He loved me too But now I don't know this man He is not the same I asked
myself can I forgive him can I forget that kiss can I trust him again the answer was no My heart
still hurt My head was full of questions I felt angry I felt sad I felt alone But deep inside I
also felt strong I felt proud I knew I did the right thing A few days passed I still didn't
answer Robert's calls I needed time I needed space I needed peace But he didn't stop He sent
messages every day Arabella I miss you Arabella I am sorry Please let me come home One day he sent
a long message He wrote "I can't sleep I can't eat I love you." And Cecilia I made a mistake
but I didn't stop loving you Please let's fix this Please don't leave me I read the message My hands
were shaking My heart hurt I still loved him But I could not forget what he did That night I cried
again I held Cecilia's hand while she slept I looked at her face She was so peaceful so innocent
And I thought what kind of example do I want to give her i want her to grow strong I want her to
choose love with respect not just love with pain The next day Robert came to the school gate He
waited to see Cecilia I did not stop him He is her father She ran to him She smiled She hugged
him He brought her a small gift Her favorite book I watched them from far My eyes filled with tears
He is a good father but that does not make him a good husband After he took her for ice cream
he came to talk to me again He said "Arabella I'm not giving up I'll wait I'll show you I can
change." I said "Robert it's too late My heart is closed now." He said "But we were happy." Yes
I said We were happy before the kiss before the lie He looked at the ground He had no more words
I closed the door That night Cecilia asked me "Why does Daddy not live with us?" I took a deep breath
"Sometimes," I said "Aults make mistakes Sometimes love is not enough But we both love you Cecilia
That will never change." She hugged me and said "I love you too Mommy." I kissed her head and said
"We will be okay." And I hoped it was true One year passed I lived alone with Cecilia Life was
calm We laughed We played We grew But sometimes late at night I thought about Robert He came every
weekend to see Cecilia He never missed a day He brought her books toys and stories He also brought
me flowers sometimes but never pushed me He just waited I saw the change in him He stopped drinking
He didn't lie anymore and he respected my space One sunny afternoon he came early He helped clean
the garden Then he said "Arabella can I talk to you?" I nodded He said softly "I miss our
family I miss being your husband I know I made a big mistake but I love you I always will." I
looked into his eyes He looked tired but honest I still remember everything the pain the night
he broke my heart But I also see who he is now He held his breath I looked at Cecilia She was
laughing in the sun running with her doll My heart felt full I forgive you I said And I want us to be
together again His eyes filled with tears He took my hands gently and said "Really?" Yes I said "But
not because I'm weak I'm strong now I choose you again Not because I need you but because I believe
in second chances." He hugged me tightly Cecilia ran over and shouted "Mommy daddy are you happy
yes I whispered We're happy now We are a family again Not a perfect one but a real one built on
truth love and a second chance Sometimes in life people make mistakes But if someone is
truly sorry and changes love can return hearts can heal and families can find their way again
