The Other One .... The Other Her
By Ziad Bakri - January 31, 2012
All the women at the funeral became
silent when they saw her entering the house. The only heard sound was the one
of her heels while walking . He , was a 42 year old man who died because
of a car accident , he was married and had two children . She , was the other
woman , some refer to her as the middle age crisis , others call her
the 'other woman' but most people chose not to talk about her at
all.
While walking through the room , she
could feel their looks , every look was an accusation , a guilt and a knife , a
knife that was directly pointed at her heart , but she did not care , she
continued walking.
She reached his wife and stood in
front of her . Even though his wife has never met her before , she needed no
words , no time and no introduction to know her , the woman who was the
reason of the destruction of her life , the source of her shame because of
ruining her marriage and the big insult for her as a woman who were not
able to keep her husband's love.
The women were looking at them , not
knowing what to do or say . They expected them to fight , scream or even argue
, but there expectations were completely wrong .
His wife reached her………
She reached her and hugged her ………
She reached her , hugged her and
cried ……..
Everyone was in shock , how could
she do this ? how could she hug the women whose husband was in love with ? The
thing that they did not know was that at that moment , his wife did not see the
other women who stole her husband from her , but she saw the only person who
can understand her feelings , the only person who loved her husband truly , the
only person who occupied a big part of her husband's heart .
She hugged her because she was the
only person who feels exactly the loss of that man , a woman who had real
moments of happiness with him , the only women whose heart is broken for his
loss.
She hugged her because at the moment
she figured out that the other woman was actually …….. the other her!
