5. Sending her away for ever

Mai 1997

One day Mac and Rose are home alone when Harm´s grandmother comes by suprisingly. Mac lets her in and wants to give her a second chance but she starts treating Mac like a baby again. Sarah excuses herself for a minute and goes to the bathroom with Rose and calls Harm from her cell. "Rabb." "Honey it….." "Sarah what is the matter?" "Your grandmother is here. I let her in two give her a second chance but she started treating me like befor." "Sweetheart I´ll be there in 10 minutes. Stay where you are."

Harm arrives ten minutes later. His grandmother hears him and comes to the livingroom. Harm calls "Sarah I am here." She comes out of the bathroom on the second floor and comes down with Rose. Harm walks to her and pulls her into a hug and then he leads her to the couch whe she sits down. Harm´s grandmother speaks up. "Harm tell Sarah to be respectful and thenkful that I am dere." "No! You listen. I told you before not to come back and upset Sarah that much that she has to call me at work because she is so desperate. She let you in and gave you a second chance and you threw it away. Do not dare to do that again to Sarah. Don´t you see what you did to her?" Sarah looks up and says. "Harm I´ll go lie down and I´ll take Rose with me." Harm nods and Sarah goes back upstairs. After Sarah is in the bedroom his grandmother speaks up again. "How can you accept the way she behaves towards me? I am your grandmother Harm." "You are hurting her and causing her pain so sche can talk about you in the way she wants to. Get that?" "How could you marry such a self-centered woman?" "She is not self-centered. You are the only self-centered woman in this house. Sarah needs as much encouragement and love as sche can get. Now get out and do not come back." She leaves the house without a nother word. Harm joins his wife in the master bedroom. "I sent her away Sarah." "Thank you Harm. I am sorry that I had to call you away from work. I just could not take it anymore." "Sweetheart it is OK. You had every right to call me at work. Now lie down. Are you in pain?" She nods and he gives her the pills and tries to ease the pain by massaging her and giving a heating pad for her stomach. Her crampes do not get better until morning. He thinks that the hard crampes where caused by his grandmother´s mental stress on Sarah. Even the next days the crampes would not get better. Harm was very worried.

One evening they are sitting in the livingroom and Sarah suddelny speaks up. "Harm I cannot take this anymore." "What?" "I cannot take these crampes and this pain anymore. I cannot keep calling out of you office when I am home or hat work. You need an equal wife. You need to be happy." "Stop saying that OK. I love you with all my heart. I will never leave you. I am happy with you. And we are equal. Although you are ill we are still equal because the illness does not make you any less equal. You hear me. But if you are in really bad pain I suggest that we talk to your doctor."
