Marriage Deception

“Who do you think you are, Primphra?”
“Your wife, of course.”
“Is that so? If you can run away from the truth that you married me for political reasons, not love, why can’t I run away from the truth that you’re my wife?”
“That’s a different matter.”
“Whether it’s the same or different matter, it doesn’t matter. Because either way, I’m only your husband in name on the marriage certificate.”
“P’ Nueng…”
“Sorry, but don’t cook for me, arrange my clothes, or squeeze toothpaste for me anymore. I’m not into it.”
“If Grandma finds out you’re doing this, the contract might be overturned.”
“The land has already been transferred to Maririn. What contract is there to overturn?”
“Did you deceive Grandma? Did you deceive me?” Primphra asked, knowing full well what Phruek wanted from this marriage. But what she didn’t expect was that Phruek wouldn’t keep his promise. Once he got what he wanted, he would abandon her, leaving her adrift in the sea alone.
“I didn’t want everything to happen so quickly, but you’re forcing me… Tell me when you’re ready for a divorce.”
“Divorce?”
“Yes! Let’s get a divorce, Primphra. We’re not happy together.” The young doctor said in a softer tone. He tried to persuade her. Deep down, Primphra was like a sister to him. She shouldn’t have to suffer a rift because of a meaningless promise from their generation.
“As for happiness… forget about it. We’ll just do our duty. The house is almost finished. We’ll move in next month. This house is too small. If we have children, they’ll have plenty of space to run around.”
“Hey! Are you deaf? I said I want a divorce!!” Just when he was about to feel a huge weight lifted off his shoulders, Primphra added another ten.
“I can’t get a divorce, P’ Nueng.”
“Why not? Are you afraid of being humiliated? Surely not. Don’t you have feelings?”
Primphra wanted to yell at him. Who didn’t have feelings? She wasn’t a ghost or a spirit. She was already mortified, but if he asked why she couldn’t get a divorce, there was no point in asking. What woman would agree to divorce her husband after less than a month of marriage?
“Say whatever you want. P’ Nueng, just give up on the idea of ​​a divorce.”
“We don’t love each other. We never loved each other. We’ve done our best, Primphra. We can’t make it work. Don’t force it anymore.”
