Enticed - Season 1 - Episode 91

Dad: henry… will you cooperate

Me: did you want to kill me

Dad: henry… have you ever thought why a father would agree for his daughter to get married at a very young age to a very older man… I promised her father than he is leaving her daughter in very responsible hands and you proved me wrong… I am sorry things had to get to this point but you really pushed me to the limit and I got carried away trying to push out the anger

Me: you could have killed me

Dad: I would never kill you… you are my son henry
He moved away then I immediately drifted into a very deep sleep.

Trisha
I walked back into my room and he was curled up under the sheets. I took a deep breath and walked over to him. I don’t think anyone should experience what he experienced. I sat beside and pulled the sheets from his face, I gasped and stared at his face he looked so different in pain. He had a bruise just below his left eye. I pulled the sheets away from his body and he quivered a little.

He was wearing a muscle top and I could see all the bruises from his shoulders down his hands. I took off my jacket and went to the bathroom. I took some antiseptics and medicines from the vanity unit. I sat by his side and dipped the cotton wool in a mixture of Dettol antiseptic liquid and water then I gently massaged around the bruised part of his face. He flinched and winced. I stopped and he opened his eyes then stared at me.

Our eyes locked without words exchange for quite some time. When I was tired it I continued to clean his bruises but then he flinched again.

Me: is it that painful

Henry: no it’s okay

I continued and this time he kept still although his face remained tense. After a while I moved to his shoulders.

Henry: you are back here

Me: where did you want me to be?

Henry: it’s not where I want you to be Trisha… it’s where you should be

Me: where

Henry: with your mother

Me: I am fine henry… I want to be here with you

Henry: why?

Why… what kind of a question is that?

Me: can you take off your vest
He stood upright and took off his vest and my God he looked like he was attacked by lions.

Me: did you get checked at the hospital

Henry: no… I didn’t want to

Me: you should have

Henry: why is it that bad?

Me… oh no don’t worry you will be fine
I lied, his skin is not only swollen and bruised, his back has blood clots and patchy. I closed my eyes to take a deep breath then I felt a little anger towards his father… what was intention, to murder him. I continued cleaning his bruises

Henry: Trisha

Me: yes

Henry: why do you want to be here with me?

Me: henry, I am your wife

Henry: but I don’t deserve you

Me: don’t say that.

Henry: it’s the truth… do you think you deserve to go through all this

Me: is there anyone who said marriage was going to be easy.

Henry: Trisha… what is wrong with you
His voice was so slow as if I am doing something that’s getting him all worked up.

Me: I hate your dad for doing this to you.

Henry: do I have to remind you that Emily’s mother is alive

I took a deep breath as he said that. I have thought well and hard about all this and I came to a conclusion that I overreacted, I am not going to be selfish. I am going to solve this in a more drown up manner. I started applying cream over his body massaging him gently and he kept on groaning.

Me: I am sorry… I shouldn’t have ran to your parents

Henry: no, you did well Trisha

Me: you make feel so guilty. I want us to go back to our house

Henry: but things are a mess

Me: I think we can work them out

Henry: I think otherwise

Me: why…

I looked at him and he avoided my eyes.

Me: you have more secrets

Henry: it’s going to hurt you

Me: bad as your last revelation

Henry: could be worse or not it depends on how you take it.
