People often say nothing hurts more than heartbreaks but then it's a complete false,
There's nothing more hurtful than realising you have been unaware of something you should have noticed because you were oblivious about it, Abdullahi wasn't only shocked seeing munirah he was devastated, even when he brought her to the hospital he was speechless he couldn't comprehend what happened, he was in complete shock.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Who did you called that you were traveling?
Did you tell me?
Or how many times have you called her?
That aside if you care about her as you are pretending to do so now I'm not sure if you wouldn't have noticed that she was seriously sick even before you leave,
Don't come blaming anyone for your failure or your incompetency to treat her well,
It's all on you Abdul, you failed to look after your wife."
"I didn't know she was ill.....
"How would you know?
Just how ?
When Everytime you are away or trying to bring up issue so you could spend more time with Aisha since she's now your only priority,
I have heard of problems popping up in marriage but I haven't heard of any man who claimed they love a woman and they traveled months without trying to reach out to her or anyone to get to her,
You clearly don't need munirah in your life anymore,
You have proven it so many times abdul and I have watch that excitement on your face when you used to see her turn to annoyance whenever I talked about her,
Her love has faded and she has accepted that to, she do always tell me, she has made has find peace after contriting wit her heart about you,
You have failed her you have hurt her to the point it doesn't hurt any more,
Don't sit here and try to sugarcoat your actions because you now know she isn't healthy."Shagari says as Abdullahi stare at him, he couldn't come with words to defend the accusation rather he was staring at shagari, his phone start to ring and he remove it from his pocket, not surprised to see it's Aisha he sigh and put it back.

Niinii will do just fine like how she's been doing without you around."shagari says and grab his necessities from the desk before leaving the office.
Less than 24 hours since he got back yet he's been in the hospital all throughout its past midnight already, he was confused when munirah passed out especially after seeing her in a different condition than when he left her, he brought her to the hospital earlier and the doctors where quick to intervene, shagari did explain to him what is disturbing his wife and how long she has been diagnosed with it, he feel bad and at same time confused, he exit the office and head to the hospital room where munirah was kept earlier.
He push the hospital room open and she was awake and sitting on the bed her head resting on the wall, she looks exhausted and really sick, how comes he didn't noticed that all this while.
"Niinii."he call sitting on the edge of the bed but she gesture for him to sit on the chair, he didn't complain he did as he was told.
They stay quiet each of them with a different thought pounding in their mind.
"I don't want to continue this marriage."munirah says looking down at her hand that's covered with the blue gloves.
"Niinii I'm sorry.........
"It's not because of what happened,
