Maybe this is God’s own way of telling me to leave this job. Chris looked up slowly, his face heavy. Sarah, I am not ready for us to lose our only source of income. You know, we are almost done paying for the land and the building. We only need a few more months. Then our life will be balanced. I cannot go back to that poverty we suffered before.
Sarah froze. What do you mean by that? Chris swallowed hard and said the words that broke her heart. Maybe, maybe you should just consider doing it once. Only this once. After that, you can leave the job. Sarah’s eyes widened in shock. She pulled her hand away and screamed, “Chris, so you want to sell your wife’s body for money.
Is this what our marriage has become?” Chris tried to hold her hands again. “No, no, Sarah, you don’t understand. I’m not selling you. I’m only saying we should sacrifice just once so we can finish our house. Please, it won’t repeat again. But Sarah shook her head in disappointment. She stood up, sighed deeply, and went back to bed.
She turned her back to him and closed her eyes, though her heart was crying inside. The next day, Sarah’s boss kept sending her reminders. Remember this weekend. It’s either yes or no. His words echoed in her ears. On the other side, Chris kept on pleading with her, telling her not to lose the job. When Sarah couldn’t take it anymore, she went to meet her friend Lisa, the same friend who had helped her get the job.
She poured out her heart, expecting comfort. But Lisa only laughed softly and said, “Girl, why are you stressing yourself? If your husband is comfortable with it, then just do it. After all, you have no choice. If it were me, I would have done it a long time ago. Sarah’s eyes turned sharp.
Sarah shook her head, half smiling. Lisa, you’ve never changed. Still the same playful girl. When the party night came, Sarah dressed in a simple gown that looked too religious for such an event. Lisa kept laughing at her. Hubba, Sarah, are you going for church service or a party? Sarah only smiled faintly. Lisa, just leave me.
