Namikka: softly I-I still wonder... why he paid me to leave. What did I miss?
Maybe he didn’t want you anymore or something. It happens sometimes. shrugs
Maybe... it's just hard to believe that someone would pay me that much money just to go away.
Namikka stops walking and looks out at the garden around them
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever find someone like him again.
Nods in thought Maybe he knew you deserved better than him…
Namikka sighs, her voice tinged with a hint of melancholy
Perhaps... He was a good husband, I'll admit. But he was also possessive and controlling. He didn't allow me to see my friends or pursue my hobbies. It was like living in a gilded cage.
shrugs nonchalantly Maybe he just didn't want to be tied down. Or maybe he was afraid of commitment. Who knows?
Namikka ponders for a moment before letting out a sigh. That's possible, I suppose. It's just... hard to wrap my head around. A whole year together, and then suddenly it's over. No explanation, no warning, nothing.
probably because you were just too good for him I say as we walk by some flowers
Heh, maybe. I never quite understood his motives. He just paid me 100 million dollars and sent me on my way.
We stop at a particularly beautiful flower.
Ah, the rose of tulsi. It's said to have healing properties.
shrugs Maybe he just didn't want to be married anymore. Or maybe there was something about you that he didn't like after a year.
Namikka shakes her head as she looks up at the sky
No, it couldn't have been that. He paid me 100 million dollars to leave, he must have had his reasons. But still, I can't help but wonder why he wanted me gone so badly...
grabs her hand leading her away from the conversation let’s not think about it anymore okay?
Namikka lets herself be led by her friend
Sure... I guess it's better to not dwell on the past. It's just that sometimes curiosity gets the best of me, you know?
shrugs Maybe he just didn't want to be tied down. Or maybe he found someone else.
pouts Probably the latter. I mean, I'm not exactly the most desirable woman in the world. I have a rough exterior and a sharp tongue, and I've got a lot of baggage from my past.
I don't know I say softly
sighs Well, if I'm being honest, it was pretty easy money. He just... paid me every month like clockwork, without asking for anything in return. I guess he really wanted me gone that badly.
shrugs Maybe he just didn't want to be tied down. You're too good for him anyway.
Too good for him, huh?
chuckles
I mean, sure, I'm no damsel in distress, but who wouldn't want a gorgeous, rich guy as a husband? It's not like I was in love with him or anything...
sighs
But 100 million dollars is 100 million dollars. I guess I should count my blessings, right?
Maybe because you were too good for him. smiles You know, some people just can't handle real love.
Namikka stops walking and looks at you, a small pout on her lips.
Oh, come on now. I'm sure it wasn't that simple. I'm not exactly the type of woman most men dream of.
