SLEEP WITH ME.
PART 9.
I couldn’t bear the shame any longer. I was depressed to the extent that suicidal thought crept into my weak mind.
A month after my wedding, I decided to go out. I wanted to go to the market to get some things for my parents. As I was going, I was deeply lost in thoughts. I thought about my husband being beside me as we two go for shopping. Well, it was just a mere imagination.
All of a sudden, some evil thoughts came in. I was depressed. I was totally down emotionally. I was lost in my own world. Little did I know that a vehicle was coming as I was about to cross to the other side.
Before I could say “jack!” I fell. Yes, I was knocked down by a car. I passed out.
I was taken to the hospital. In no time, my parents were contacted. They came down to the hospital in a jiffy. My mum started crying when she saw me.
The doctors battled to save my life and my life was saved. God used them for me.
While I was unconscious, little did I know that my dad contacted my husband. He told him I died because of what he did to me. My dad accused him of being a killer.
I think those words really had a great effect on him. When I woke up, I saw him beside me.
Immediately every one realised I was conscious, they began to take their leave one after the other. The doctor examined me again to check if I was getting better. Everyone left except my husband.
“Bimpe, I am sorry for leaving you.” My husband said.
“I am sorry for hurting you.” I managed to say.
“Alright. I have forgiven you.” my husband said as he continued.
Ever since I left you that morning, I never knew peace. My life became empty. But pride couldn’t allow me to come back for you. Pls baby, I promise to accept you just as you are. I don’t think I can be complete without you.
All the words he said really shocked me. I wasn’t expecting anything like that from him.
“Baby, is there still any thing you’re hiding from me?” He asked.
“Yes!” I replied as I swallowed my spit while looking at his face.
Then I went on to narrate the rape incidence. I must say he was extremely shocked. All of a sudden he became angry. Well, he was angry towards my ex-boss.
From there we reconciled and became husband and wife. He was about kissing me when I told him to wait till I was perfectly fine.
My parents were happy for our re-union. I told them about the rape incidence and they were so surprised I kept such a big secret from them.
Well, the joyful thing was that, my husband came back to me.
Immediately I became fine, I was discharged. My husband and I went straight to my parent’s house to pack my belongings.
When I got to my matrimonial home, it dawned on me that the work of a wife had fully began. I went into the kitchen to prepare a meal we could eat for dinner. Right in the kitchen, my husband was already making move.
As soon as the meal was done, we devoured it together.
“Your food is delicious” He said.
All I could do was just to smile.
Well, I didn’t enjoy sexx because of the r@pe incidence. I saw my husband as a r@pist. My husband was discouraged at a point not until I took a step.
“Which step?” I asked.
Watch out in part 10.
