Cockroach - Giorgi Chachkhiani (simple e reader .TXT) 📗

I wouldn’t forget that day, 2nd October. When my life changed and I became the kind of person I am today, worthless. I decided to tell this story, so I’ll begin at the beginning. I have never been special person, I was usual, simple, honest man. I had a beautiful wife, her name was Jane… Yes, Jane, who was taken from me on 2nd October by those despicables. She was four month pregnant. We were so happy. Soon my lovely wife would give me a child, we had so many plans, but those despicables took this everything only in one hour – my wife, child, life, even dreams.

It was 2nd October. The part of the day I liked most. Morning, when the sun rises and brights everything with her scorching, full of life rays. How I loved this everything.

I was going to work, I was eating. At that time Jane came down to stairs. She was wearing my shirt. Oh, how she loved to wear my shirts in the morning, she was saying that she loved when my smell was with her. You can barely see her belly. She came to me, I stopped eating and looked at her. How full of life she was, how pretty, she was smiling to me. She took my hand and put it on her belly.

-You know, I felt something today – she said.

-Really? It is good.

-Yes, it’s very good – at a second my mind was captured by her magnificent smile. I kissed her belly.

-You know, daddy loves you.

-Yes, it knows, I feel that.

I hugged her, put my head on her belly. This is so good, when you hug both your lovely person at one time, you love them and feel this from them too.

-Ok, eat, don’t late – she said.

Jane came to tap and a moment later she screamed. I was on my feet at a second.

-What happened?

-There is a cockroach here, you know how I am afraid of them?! – yeah, she was really afraid of them, now I am too…

-It’s nothing, it’s just an insect – water washed cockroach – here, you see, it’s washed already.

-I love you – she sad so tender to me, even now I remember her voice, speech. That was her last “I love you”, which she told me in this life – I am happy that I met you.

-I am happier –she laughed. I looked at watch, I was late. – all right honey, I must go. Take care of yourself, don’t get tired.

-Yes, but your breakfast, you haven’t finished it yet.

-It’s okay, I am well fed. Ok, I run, take care of yourself.

She hugged me. Our lips merged. It was our last kiss.

-I love you! – I cried out a door.

-Me too- she said.

I left early on that day. I bought necklace for Jane, it was as pretty, as she. I wanted to make her happy and delighted. It would be 6 o’clock when I returned home. Jane was wearing beautiful, graceful red dress, she was magnificent.

- I have a surprise for you.

-What is it?

-Close your eyes.

-Okay.

I put the necklace, I was right, it fitted her.

-Look in the mirror- I gave her the mirror.

-Oh my god, what a pretty. It would be expensive, why did you bother?

-I would be bothered if I didn’t buy it for you.

-Phil ,you are so cute. Why don’t we have a supper?

-Yes, I am hungry.

-Okay, I will preserve the necklace, may I? I grudge it for home.

-As you like.

Jane went upstairs, in the bedroom. I went to wash my hands. I opened bathroom’s door and… if I’ve never opened that door. The bathroom was full of cockroaches. They were everywhere, on the floor, walls, ceiling even in the Jacuzzi, there wasn’t empty space on door too. Probably, they were 10000, maybe more. They were coming out. I was trying to close the door, but it wasn’t closing. On every trying to close the door many cockroaches were splitting, but many more were coming out. They were climbing on my trousers. I was trying to close the door, again and again. At that time I heard Jane’s scream. I gave up the door and run to bedroom. I looked back from the stairs, half of them have come to out, they have even reached the kitchen. I didn’t know if they could move such a fast, but it won’t mattered. It was important to help Jane and get her out of here. I run upstairs as fast as I could. I pushed bedroom’s door, it wasn’t opening. Cockroaches were in the clearance and they’ve locked the door. They were so many and it was unable to open the lock, it wasn’t moving. I went downstairs and rushed outside. The bedroom was on the 2nd floor, I was hoping that I could go inside through the window. I climbed on the tree, but the distance was too far, than I imagined, if I jumped I wouldn’t reach the window, I would fall. In that way I wouldn’t help Jane, so it didn’t make sense, I couldn’t do anything. This everything was happening due to the washed cockroach, I didn’t know what to do. I could see the whole room through the window. There were more cockroaches, than the bathroom. I was astonished, I didn’t know how they appeared there. I was hearing Jane’s voice. Her scream, shout and I was doing nothing. She was standing on her knees. Thousands of them were climbing on her. Her face was full of them, I could see how cockroaches were climbing on her legs and they were approaching to my baby, but I couldn’t do anything. Jane got rid of some of them with her hand, she was in shock. She was screaming, at that time, when her mouth was open I saw how some of them climbed into her mouth, then more of them. Her eyes, nose were covered by cockroaches. She couldn’t breath. At first she was trying to get rid of them, then she put her hand on her throat, then she gave up, she stopped and fell down unconscious. More of them were climbing on her body.

She died, love of my life died, my baby died too. I couldn’t do anything. I barely climbed down from the tree. I leant against tree, I was crying. I put my head in my hands and I was crying, what have I left more. Emergency came into few minutes, perhaps neighbors called them due to Jane’s scream. I don’t know what happened, I wasn’t listening to them, they were telling something to me, they were explaining, but I couldn’t listen to them. I was only thinking of her, our plans and I was crying like a defenseless, little, poor boy who is bulled in school by a seniors. Soon some kind of unit came, they were wearing red uniforms and with the help of special weapons they set my house on fire. They burnt everything. My dreams, my memories. They burnt my wife and my baby. I didn’t know, I wasn’t listening, otherwise I wouldn’t let them to do it, I preferred to came near by them and those cockroaches would have killed me too, would climbed inside me and expired me with my Jane and the baby. They burnt them, they burnt them, they just burnt them with those little monsters. After that I was willing and thinking to suicide, but I’m frightened, I’m afraid of that for the suicide I’ll go to hell and I’ll never see them again. Now I’m dreaming of death, so I could see them, hug them and kiss them, my wife and my baby. I want to tell them how I love both and how I want to be with them forever…
