“What have I done.” A man talks to himself.

The man holds an ashtray and kneels upon a woman’s body with blood everywhere. The man shakes her body and calls her name but he knows anything is too late to save her life.

“Why our marriage becomes so difficult.” The man said.

They have married for 5 years. At beginning of this marriage, everything looks prefect. Some time they have quarrel but it is usual situation in a family. Yet, after they have a kid, everything changed. Money is a root causes this situation. Their quarrel is getting worse. Recently, they almost fight every single day.

One night, the couple gets a serious fight.

“I can’t stand with you anymore. I knew the time is coming so I already prepared all of the documents here. You just need to sign the name here, and then I will leave by myself which means I want to divorce.” The wife said.

The husband is too angry to face this problem. He picks an ashtray up and swipes his wife’s face continuously until he cools down. Her blood is everywhere, all of his clothing. He starts to think how to cover this murder. He clears blood and his clothing. He thinks he is lucky that everything happened during night and without any one’s notice. The big problem is his wife’s body. For a murder, it is the most important thing to care about. He doesn’t want to be arrested. He thinks that if he leaves the body in remote mountains, animals are going to eat the body and no one will find it. Therefore, he puts his wife’s body in a big bag and carries it on his back and walks to a mountain. He leaves the body in the depths of the mountains and forests with some of the cover of defoliation. He goes back to his home and checks everything that no any clue left around the house.

Next day, he pretends nothing happened.

“Your mother is going to other place for working so your mother can’t come back recently. He told his 5 year-old son.

“Ok. No problem” his son answers it with the doubt face and his eyes didn’t focus on his father’s face.

But the father doesn’t have another thought about it. He just thinks his son understands it. After one week, there has no one asked he about his wife because they looked like a well-regulated family. They fight secretly every time. However, he can’t sleep well and he lives under great stress. One day, he notices his hair drop a lot during the shower, all of the bathroom and he feels really pain on scalp. He starts to lose his hair. Moreover, he can’t sleep deeply. He always wakes up in midnight by some small sound. His co-workers really worry about him because he looks totally different from before. His co-worker thinks the reason is that he has too heavy pressure and his wife isn’t here, therefore, his co-worker takes him to see doctor. “The reason isn’t the stress. It seems like something pulls your hair for a long time and your scalp turns to red. Do you have any idea that cause it?” doctor said. However, he has no idea about it. No one pulls his hair even when he fight to his wife, his wife had never pulls his hair before.

Another strange thing is his son has never asked about his mother. It seems nothing change after he killed his wife. Yet, this situation makes he feels guilty. His hair is almost gone. Moreover, he can’t sleep in the night. He hears his wife’s voice near to his ear but he can’t catch what she says, and sometime he hears percussive sound. It reminds him the day he killed his wife. He can’t stand on these stresses. All of thing drives him crazy.

“You haven’t seen your mother for a while. Don’t you miss your mother? Why you never ask about mother?” he decides to ask his son.

“I don’t understand what do you mean but I can’t look at mother’s face because it looks so scared. I just wonder that why you always carries mother on your back.” The son said.

The father suddenly realize that every strange thing on him because his wife doesn’t leave him alone. She still here and watch him. After few days, polices ascertain that he killed his wife. When polices get in his house, the father sit on a chair and looks glassy.

“You are arrested because you are the suspect of murdering your wife.” A police said.

“She hasn’t died, she still here, I can’t escape from her.” He murmured to himself.

This case is done by police, but there still have one thing nagging polices and no one can understands that his son is still believing his mother doesn’t die and police arrest both his father and mother.
