Author's POV💕

"Maryam you can't be serious, you need your husband right now and you want to seek a divorce" Alhaji Shehu said angrily to his daughter

"Dad I just can't get over any of the things that happened and I think it's best we separate since that's what his mum wants" she responded defensively

"Are you kidding me right now?, So your excuse is cause his mum doesn't want you two together" he scolded

"That's not an excuse it's a good enough reason, you all witnessed what extent she went to to cause a rift in my marriage, I can't deal with any of that anymore, I'm tired" she said

"Maryam, you know Aliyu is more of the victim than you are, through those moments he never left your side and always stood by you and protected you, so why are you doing all this to him?" Her father lashed out again

"Maryam, if she's your problem then you should know I've already divorced her and she won't come anywhere close to any of you again, don't bother about her, think about your kids, yourself and your husband don't let outsiders try to split you apart" Alhaji Muhammad said

"Dad I appreciate you but I've come to a conclusion and I don't want Aliyu as a husband again" Maryam said politely

"Maryam-" her father was about to say as Aliyu cut off the elderly man

They were all having a meeting in her hospital room after the news about Maryam wanting to divorce Aliyu spread among the family members.

"Dad it's okay, don't force her, I also won't be able to live happily knowing I've forced her into a marriage she wants out of" he said in a calm and polite manner

"Aliyu I understand you but we all saw the condition you were in the last time she left you" Alhaji Shehu said

"Dad that time I had a heart problem, I'm fine now, I'm healed, I can handle the pain of a normal man, it's not the first time I'm losing someone special so I'll be able to get through it" Aliyu said before looking at Maryam

"Maryam, you still have few days before you're fully recovered so until then you should think about it, I'll still fulfill my duties to you as a husband and will not abandon you while you're in the hospital, take your time when you're recovered and your decision is still for a divorce then I will grant it to you so please think carefully about it" Aliyu said nicely to her as she looked at him before looking away from him

She's still bent on not saying a word to Aliyu but has now started looking at him when his speaking frequently unlike before

"Aliyu, I'll speak some sense into her you go focus on your kids, you've been distant lately" Alhaji Shehu said

"Please don't force her" he requested as the elderly man nodded at him before he dismissed himself.

"Maryam you can see what a good man Aliyu is, do you really want to let him go, don't you think you'll regret it?" Her father said

"I'm fixed on my decision, Aliyu is a good person but I can't be his wife anymore" she said

"If you leave him now and regret it later, you might no longer have a chance in his life again so think about it" Alhaji Muhammad said

"I will not regret it, too much has already happened and I'm tired of everything" she replied the elderly man as he nodded at her

"Alright then, we'll still accommodate the kids cause they're our blood, I will no longer talk you into going back on your words since that's what you want, I wish you the best in life, Ma Salam" he said to Maryam as she nodded at him with a smile before he got up
