My Husband Didn’t Touch Me for 15 Years
<p>Episode 2</p><p><br/></p><p>When my husband stood at the door that evening, I knew something was wrong.</p><p>His eyes were red… his voice trembling.</p><p>“Honey,” he whispered, “I’ve failed you.”</p><p><br/></p><p>I froze.</p><p>“What do you mean you’ve failed me?” I asked.</p><p><br/></p><p>He didn’t answer.</p><p>Tears rolled down his cheeks.</p><p>“Please,” he said, “forgive me. I don’t even know if you can.”</p><p><br/></p><p>I took his hand gently and led him to the couch.</p><p>“Honey,” I said softly, “just tell me the truth. Whatever it is, I’ll forgive you. If not for love, at least for God.”</p><p><br/></p><p>He took a deep breath and began,</p><p>“Many years ago, I wanted to be rich. I saw my friends driving big cars, building houses, traveling the world… and I wanted the same life.”</p><p><br/></p><p>He paused, trembling.</p><p>“One day, someone told me about a Baba who could make me wealthy, but there was a condition. I had to stay away from women for fifteen years. After that, I’d be given something that would make me rich forever.”</p><p><br/></p><p>I stared at him in shock.</p><p>“So… all these years, that’s why you’ve been avoiding me?”</p><p><br/></p><p>He nodded, crying.</p><p>“I thought I was doing it for us… for our future. But today, when I went to check on Baba, to confirm the message I got this morning, I found out he died this afternoon. All these years… wasted. How foolish I was.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Tears filled my eyes.</p><p>“Why, honey?” I whispered. “Why look for a shortcut to success? Why punish both of us for nothing?”</p><p><br/></p><p>He fell on his knees, sobbing.</p><p>“I’m sorry,” he cried. “Please forgive me. I was blinded by envy and greed.”</p><p><br/></p><p>For a long moment, I couldn’t speak.</p><p>I just sat there, staring at the man I had loved for fifteen years.</p><p>Then, finally, I took a deep breath and said quietly,</p><p>“I forgive you.”</p><p><br/></p><p>That night, something changed.</p><p>Peace returned to our home.</p><p>And for the first time in years, my heart felt light again.</p><p><br/></p><p>A few months later, I found out I was expecting our first child.</p><p>After fifteen long years of emptiness… joy returned.</p><p><br/></p><p>That day, my husband learned a truth many still ignore </p><p>There’s no shortcut to real success.</p><p>Work hard. Stay faithful.</p><p>And in due time, blessings will come.</p><p><br/></p><p>The End...</p>
