Dear Husband...

Dear Husband,

    By the time you are reading this letter, I would probably be gone from the face of Earth. I just want you to know that I enjoyed every second of being by your side. If I could, I would rather not die, but… I guess fate has other plans for me.

    I still remember the day when I woke up from my coma. When I had opened my eyes, I saw your face, smiling brilliantly like an angel. I had lost my memories and you told me you were my husband. You said that I could head home after my checkups. And when I was done, you brought me home… to our home.

    A day during March, I couldn't do much for you since I was still sick. In the end, I decided to make dinner. It was my first time so I made a mess. When you came home from work, you were just so happy. You hugged me in a big bear hug and we kissed for the first time.

    A day during May, we had adopted a baby kitten. I still remember how I had begged you for it, and you finally gave up. I had chosen the white tabby, and named it Snowflake. You had said that this name was stupid, but I had disagreed. That was our first fight since I had first woken up from my coma. The next day, we both apologized the same time. We had hugged it out.

    A day during August, you brought me to the amusement park to play. We rode on kid rides, spinning cups, ferris wheel, and the carousel. You would not allow me to play on the thrilling ride since they may cause my health to deteriorate more. I was very sad and tried to act coquettishly, but you were stubborn, just like me. In the end, you had to carry me home.

    A day during October, I had another checkup. When the doctor told us that I was getting better, you were just so excited, even more so than me. That day, you brought me out to the park. We sat on a bench, watching children play, with our hands linked together. I had leaned my head on your shoulder. We were so peaceful.

    A day during December, you had given me a necklace. Although it wasn't the most expensive one, it was the female version of the one I had gotten you. We both laughed so hard until our stomachs cramped and tears came out. The necklace was the best gift I had ever gotten and I treasured it like it was my life.

    This year was one of the best years of my life. You had made me feel loved and treasured. But I knew you were keeping things from me. I know you had told the doctor to tell me I was getting better to give me confidence. You hid the truth... that I had cancer... to prevent me from being sad. I know you did it for me, but I wished you told me the truth. However, I have no right to scold you, to call you out. I had… also hidden a secret. I… had retained my memories during Christmas. I… knew you weren't my real husband, and… you were hired by my family, to keep me company. Although you may not have been my real husband, I treated you like one, even when I got my memories back. I wish you may find a good woman that loves you, but I just wanted to tell you… I loved you, my fake husband.

Love,

Your Fake Wife
