Claras Mystery

Amanda felt water all over her body the moment she woke from the nightmare,  or was it sweat? She couldn't say.

Then, she sighed, she was glad it was only a dream, a dream she could not translate, she was not used to having dreams, why was she dreaming all of a sudden?

But there was something significant about the dream she just had,  in the dream she was light, free and very strong. She tried to remember what made her feel that way, she hit her head, as if that would make her remember, she looked around her, she saw her husband, sleeping next to her, he was definitely restless, but why was she so light in the dream, that she could even run?  then she remembered, It was not so hard to note,  she wasn't pregnant in the dream, but she was being chased by someone she couldn't really remember, she tried to sit up on the bed and she felt all heavy,  looking down she sighed in a  dejected way.

She looked up at God, why would he allow things like this to happen to her, she has suffered enough, and she didn't deserve what she was going through.

What was her sin actually? That God will decide to punish her in such a manner?

She was dejected indeed, and really unhappy because the question she continued to ask herself over and over again have not been answered, she was supposed to have the answer to her question, but yet she, like every other person, does not have the answer to the question,   she was supposed to be happy and sharing the happy moments with her husband Dave, who still managed to sleep close to her,  but they are more like world's apart.

 She is pregnant but she couldn't tell who was responsible.

She is even ashamed to say it out loud. How can a grown up woman like her, claim she doesn't know who impregnated her, even a teenager would know, let alone an adult. It made her feel like a prostitute, 

It was a mystery pregnancy.

One may ask how can it be mysterious when you have a husband?

but the story have only begun.

Because even she also belives, that her husband Dave, was not telling her the truth.

Getting married to Dave was something Amanda didn't regret, because Dave was everything she could ever want, he was wonderful and he genuinely cares for her. Though at first she was using Dave as a substitute or a rebound,  since she couldn't reach the love of her life, the one person she could beat her chest and say she truely loves.

That one man, whom she and her only brother sent to prison few years ago. She knew she still felt something strong for Dave, especially since Dave was able to fight with his family just to be with her.
