Meet Again

She stared out the window, it was morning, she sighed and looked around the room, the walls were painted a faint yellow, the room was not to big but at least it had good ventilation, she turned to the side of the bed, her son was still asleep he was snoring lightly, she ran her hand on his face, and pecked him on his cheeks, she prayed and made her way to the bathroom,

"Sophia, are you awake", her mother inlaw asked, stepping into the room,

"Yes I was about coming to prepare breakfast", Sophia said,

"That is fine, Fred is still asleep?", she asked,

"Yes he played a lot yesterday, and he is still sleeping by this time," said Sophia she wanted to go and wake him,

"Leave him, let him sleep, he is still a child, you know children play a lot, when he wakes up you can give him a bath", she said,

"Yes, mother let me go ahead and prepare breakfast,"

"Sophia", the older woman called her, with a stern voice,

"Yes mother",

"Alex, he didn't come home last night, did he?"

"N no, he didn't", Sophia replied,

"Did he call to tell you anything?" She asked,

Sophia nodded otherwise,

The older woman sighed, "why is he doing this, why are you doing this, what is wrong with the both of you, he never tells me anything and you always say there is no problem,"

"Mother, I am sure Alex was busy or something",

"I am just going to go to my room now", she said nodding sadly as she left,

Sophia shut her eyes, she wondered where Alex was,  it was  not that she expected him to call her, but he could have informed his mother, she left to make breakfast.

***************

"Dad dad, I will play with my toys", Fred babbled on and on with his father, they had just gotten into the room,

She stopped folding the laundry, Alex set Fred down,

"Freddie go and play with Mama, okay"? Alex said, Fred ran,

"Don't run, be careful," Sophia scolded but the toddler was gone,

She turned to continue her work, knowing that he was looking at her,

"Uhmm hi," he greeted,

She turned to him,

"What"? He asked,

"You didn't come home yesterday and you didn't think it was important to inform me or mother," she said,

"Of what use is that", he asked, walking to the wardrobe,

"What do you mean by that?" She asked,

He turned to her, he was angry,

"I don't like you questioning me like that", he said then turned back to pick his clothes,

"What is wrong with you? she went over to where he was, "what is wrong with my questions? Don't I have the right to know all this? For goodness sake I am your wife," she spoke,

He clenched his fist, he turned to her, his eyes were red, he was really angry, gripping her hands he stared into her eyes,

"Alex let me go, you are hurting me",

"Stop asking me questions, I don't appreciate it, you know all about this "relationship", I don't like you acting like you own me or anything, you should know your place", his grip tightened causing her to wince in pain,

"Stop it just stop", with that he pushed her aside and walked away,

She looked at her bruised hand, sitting on the bed, she thought about all this,

it was her fault, why did she ever think that Alex had changed, he had never liked her, he was never close to her, they didn't have that type of relationship, nothing connected them except for a fake marriage which was for selfish reasons she did not know, back marriage based on a lie what was wrong in her asking for his whereabouts, why was he so harsh with her,

She wiped her tears she did not want her child to see her cry.
