BROKEN HEART

CHAPTER 14

I went back home feeling down because I don't know what new drama I will meet

I was surprised when I saw Aliyu all dressed up looking like the Aliyu I fell in love with

He was smiling so brightly that I almost forgot all what he has done this past few days.

"welcome my love"
He said hugging me tightly

I gave out a half smile because I was feeling uncomfortable with his sudden change

"I am sorry
I know I have been a jerk for some months now
It's just that I was depressed
It's not been easy for me staying at home without anything doing
Please forgive me my love
I know I have hurt you so much but please don't take that to heart
I promise to make it up to you "

I am surprised and speechless at the same time
No matter how depressed you are you should atleast consider my feelings and if you don't tell me your worries who will you tell?

I am your wife for crying out loud but you treat me sometimes like an outcast
It breaks my heart
I couldn't continue talking because of the tears that started rushing out of my eyes

Aliyu used his hands to clean my tears and hugged me
For the first time in more than a year I felt peace and happiness that I haven't felt for so long.

I kept on praying to God to keep away any evil eyes from my marriage
Make me and my husband the happiest couple on earth

I woke up the next day feeling so happy and strong
I haven't had that feeling for long

Aliyu and I prepared breakfast together,what we haven't done for long
It was later that day that Aliyu told me about a contract he is working on

"In Sha Allah if everything goes the way I want,I have this contract I am working on, although the person helping with me with it is requesting for some money
But just keep on praying for me "

Ameen I pray it works out ooo
How much is the person requesting?
Let's work on it together

"The money is much oo
He is asking for 200 thousand
Where will I get that kind of
money from?

Wow that's a big amount oo
but don't worry
There is this contribution we are doing in my office,
I will be collecting mine this month
It's a 150 thousand naira
I wanted using the money for my business but I will give it to you
I will keep on managing the one I have
Let's just keep on praying you get the job

Since then Aliyu and I became like newly Weds
I was happy with the changes
We don't fight anymore we always happy

When I go to work he will be at home to take care of the house
He even cooks for me sometimes

I was really happy and finally at peace thinking my problems have ended

Little did I know bigger storm is coming for me

It's all started with little quarells like before but this time it's a bit different

Aliyu only smiles and play with me when ever he wants me on his bed
And whenever I refused he force his way

This continued for a long time and I kept on enduring everything thinking he will change

My worst nightmare happened when I came back from work one Monday
I was feeling dizzy and weak but I kept blaming it on the stressful day I had at work

I met Aliyu at home as usual watching a movie on his phone
I quickly came to hug me trying to help me with the heavy bag I was holding
I already know what he is up to when ever he is unnecessarily nice to me

But the way I am feeling today I don't think I will allow him to have his never I won't allow him kill me before my time
I was still thinking of how to escape from him when I heard him talking

"you look very tired
Come on let me bath you
I already cooked your favorite
So you just need to take your bath
and eat"
He said smiling looking all sweet and innocent as if he is not the one that almost hit me yesterday just because I said I was too tired to cook
I just smiled back and went to the bathroom to take a shower because I really need that at the moment

Immediately I entered the bathroom trying to on the shower Aliyu entered all naked

I already know what he wants and I don't think I have the strength to fight or give in to his request so I started begging him

Please Aliyu not now
I am really sick
Can't you see that
Just let me be for now please I am begging you

"Abeg shut up!
Just because you see I am going easy on you doesn't mean I am scared of you oo
Just because you are the one working and paying the bills doesn't mean you are now the head
I am still the head of the family and your husband and what I want is what will happen and that's final"

I tried to use the little strength I have to stop Aliyu but I am too weak
If the word rape exist between married couples then I will say I was raped by my husband in the bathroom 🥺

I didn't even know when I passed out
I just woke up and found myself on the hospital bed when I heard the doctor talking to Aliyu about me having miscarriage

What!
was I pregnant?
How comes I didn't notice
I couldn't control my cry because I was really hurt
What I have been praying for,for more than three years now I finally got it but lost it because of Aliyu's wickedness
I don't think I will ever forgive Aliyu for this

I don't tell my mom what happened because I don't know how to explain to her that I am in an abusing marriage

Aliyu kept apologizing countless time
I just have to pretend that I have forgiven just for him to let me be

I was still grieving over the lost of my baby when Aliyu came to me with a news that made me very happy and the news that changed our lives forever

Allah sarki Binta 😭
I hope the news is a good one
