The Inkwell Writing Prompt - No one is Perfect

in The Ink Well3 years ago (edited)

All that Micah ever wanted was a girl who who knows how to dance, knows how to cook his favourite dish and who will please him always.

He got married to Anita and the first two years, they both lived happily and peacefully, i guess by this period of the years, one's true identity was not reveal, they both were loving and were proud of each other.

But as times goes on, things started changing, Micah indulge himself in drinking, he goes out every night, sit with his friends in a tavern and drink to life, whenever he is back home, his wife Anita would not be happy about his attitude, then Micah would got angry instead of listening to his wife, he would have to snub her for days.

Anita became tired of Micah's new attitudes, drinking all night, coming back from work with highness, and refusing to talk to her.
"what are his problems" she asked herself.

Anita became worried, she couldn't sleep through out the night and in the morning, Immediately she wakes up, she went straight to Her husband's room.
she knocked on the door and opens it, Micah were still on bed, not like he was not awake but he was tired, due to drinking too much alcoholic last night.

She moved closer and said to him,

"you are no more the lovely and sweet Micah that i fell in Love with, what are you turning yourself into, what is your problem for God sake?"

Micah replied, "what more do you want me to do for you woman ?"

This is who i really am, i love drinking, i must say, we didn't know each other for long before we got married, but our parents join us together, that we should be married and that seems to be the mistakes we make,

Anita interrupted and said,

"So, now we are husband and wife, can you please stop drinking alcohol? because i do not seems to like it ?"

"Are you now giving me instructions on how to live my life woman? who among us should be advising one another"

Micah shouted, bang the door as he walked outside.

Life became terrific for Anita, Micah refuse to eat any food made by her wife Anita, Anita was finding it difficult to enjoy her home, The worsts of it all was that, he refuses to be eating meals that is made by her but rather prefer eating outside.

The next morning, he sat outside the varenda called out to his wife, he said "I have taken so much insults from you in this house, so today, i have made up my mind, that i need a second woman in my life, since you can not give me what i want.

The wife was confused about everything,

she asked him "what is it that you really want?"

Michah as drunk as he was, replied, "she can not cook good food, she can not shake her body and never for once has she make him happy".

okay ooo, if you said so, you can go ahead and do what you want, she concluded.

Since you said, i am not good enough for you, i give you my support, you are free to marry a new wife.

Micah got married to another woman as was his intentions, but their house was more on fire, Micah and her new wife were wrestling each and everyday, they turn their house to a wrestling wring, she was a trouble maker, she loves fighting and also a talkative but above all, never a times has she cook and serve food for her husband.

Before their marriage, Anita got angry and filled for divorce and it was granted,
she left the house since nothing bind her with Micah anymore.
but Micah's life with his new wife, were more terrific, after a long fighting and quarrel each and everyday, Micah had no other choice than to regret, why he left his wife to a woman who would give him heart attack oneday, but it was too late for him.

Anita as beautiful as she was had moved on with her Life, Micah was looking for perfection and he did got what he want.

Sort:  

It's a shame how much of a reality this is. People seek for something they already have. I hope he doesn't die from stroke... 😑

He got what he wanted, I guess this will serve as a lesson to him afterwards, to tell his Children's

Unfortunately for Micah the idea of a perfect woman is one that serves and amuses him. That kind of woman is not so common anymore. Micah will have to reflect on what a life partner means.

Anita has done the best for leaving Micah. This is what he wanted and now he is regretting losing Anita.

Sometimes we should appreciate the wife we have because we did not know the kind of women put there.

He was blind to her and always put her love and care down, but his eyes were open when he looses her and go for someone who had no love for him.

I believe he already is in for it as the heart attack is already with him.

We learn to appreciate what we have and ensure we don't lose it to anything.

That is right, appreciate what we have is a good start to everything

A really nice message about perfection - I really liked how you approached the prompt this week - it's a way I wouldn't have thought of myself. Tim

Wow! I am so so so happy, thank you so much for your kind words 🥰

He regretted everything he did, but it was too late for him.

Thank you bro🥰
