"He loves me, I know, he's just doing this because of how things are. My Effiong loves me alot" I say this to comfort myself after my husband had bruised and scarred my skin after the argument we had.
" If I come back to this house and you are still here sitting on that floor, you'll get it hot from me, by the way I have an important meeting with my Directors today. Mke sure you keep the house tidy before I leave, stupid woman!" He said as he slammed the door and hopped into our range Rover car. Well his car.
.
I drag myself into the kitchen to make dinner, not minding my tired state, or the fact that my skin has been brutally injured.
I had to endure this.
"For better for worse isn't it? He'll change. He will." I say once again before cutting the tomatoes and washing the rice before dinner time sets.
.
*Ring ring* a call from my iPhone X gifted to me by my DEAR husband a week after our marriage. Reminiscing the moments I said "I do" to my husband, the smiles on the crowds face, the well wishers happily clapping and cheering the latest couples in town, Mr & Mrs Effiong Williams.
.
I immediately receive the call, not checking the caller ID but suddenly recognize the voice. It was Temi!! Temi my best friend in secondary School and the university. Temi always had a way to cheer me up.
"Howfa, I thought you'll never pick up my call" (typical Temi says)
"Don't be mean to me, I was about to, I was making dinner before Effiong gets back."
"Oh I see your Husband, I hope he's treating you well" Temi says as if sensing something wrong already. I immediately reply so as to clear any lingering doubts on her mind .
"Yes, yes Effiong is still as sweet as I know Temi. He's simply the best" I lie as I say those words.
"That's good I hope he really is, well I wanted to check on you bestie. We are having a mini get to get her with the girls, care to join? Or you're now in the "I don't associate with single girls anymore"
"Come on!! Don't be petty,( I laugh ). Send the location and I'll call you back to know if I can come, ok?"
"Okay I'll buzz you later, please take care, bye❤️"
Temi replies as she ends the call.
.
Shit!!!! I cursed myself for failing to remember I can't be seen with these scars on my body. I'll call back to say something came up.
