Shocked by the divorce filing, there was not a single word that PokiMonk could describe his emotional state. At the thought of explaining to little Pandas about the separation, he could not help but breaks down in tears. Where would the Musical Panda return home from college? Could the sensitive Artistic Panda break down and not perform at the high school successfully? Within a day, he decided that he would pretend that nothing had happened and try to stay on at least until both Pandas leave home for college. That would be about two years and half. “Negotiating” with Princess Pea, he accepted all terms at all cost. Based on the agreement, he would not seek any relationship of any kinds offline nor online for as long as he stayed with family. He would remain as if everything was the same in all aspects, financially and emotionally. But of course, there was no more close intimacy between him and Princess Pea.
He thought that if he could have lasted close to 11.4 sexless years earlier, he could do it for another two and half years. Plus that there was a definite end to the current ordeal, far better than some endless journey. Or so he thought.
Everyday or every other day he made efforts to take his mind off the sexual matter due to its non-existence. There were some better and worse days, but all were bad. Regardless of how difficult it was on a daily basis, PokiMonk was determined to let Pandas leaving home happily to college. Once they left home, he and Princess Pea agreed to continue to keep the facade of the home and family for as long as possible. It sounded insane for anyone else, but not to PokiMonk nor Princess Pea. They loved their Pandas too much to put tears on their cheeks. Whatever worked would continue to work until it couldn’t, at which time, they would improvise and figure out what to do.
Despite the agreement, the power was all one-sided. Any small verbal skirmish led to threat of immediate expulsion from the house by Princess Pea. PokiMonk also complied to report his physical whereabouts throughout the day. Whatever things that he had to do, it was nothing compared to go through each day without sex.
He told little Pandas that he snored too loud for Princess Pea and was thus banished to another bedroom. Artistic Panda like a cute baby happily slipped back and napped at PokiMonk's spot in the master bedroom. Given the size as a teenager, it may look odd, but if you saw the innocent gratifying face in sleep, you would understand how much safety and joy the mommy’s baby derived from it.
As if nothing had happened, Princess Pea and PokiMonk put their lives on hold for loving the two little Pandas unconditionally.
